Howdy there, my dear Aliholics!
The Anniversary sale is starting tograbday, there are some sweet sale deals to be taken
advantage of, and if you were quick enough to grab some $2 coupons, congratulations,
you can start spending them.
There is another coupon game going on, the link for which I will leave in the description
of the video.
Today we have a few new products to unbox, and after this there will be 4 more interesting
gadgets that you can scoop for yourself today.
The first item arrived in this plastic envelope.
This is something I have seen in other people’s homes, thought it was pretty cool, and decided
to get it for myself.
Here we have a magnetic knife holder.
There were options for different lengths, this one costs around $7.
The holder comes with the mounting hardware, which are these two plastic clips that I ended
up not using, and 2 bolts that I have screwed into the kitchen drywall.
The knife holder is a little over 1 feet long, and it can hold 5 to 7 knives depending on
their size.
I have 5 that I use depending on the task and their cleanliness, and the holder is able
to support their weight.
The magnets is really strong.
I left the knives on it overnight and from what it looks like, they have not even moved.
The second item today is this dumb thing that we have seen in the last $5 AliExpress best-sellers
video, which costs less than $2.
Here we have an emergency crank charger.
I say emergency, and it might be the first world privilege talking, because I have a
strong suspicion based on my personal experience that nobody in their right mind will be using
it as their primary charger.
The device is quite portable.
The handle can be tucked in so that it’s harder for it to break off.
What I found interesting that it works only when you crank it forward.
There is a small bulb on the front that lights up to indicate that it is working.
I couldn’t find the USB voltage meter, but when I tested it with my phone it showed that
it was being charged pretty much right away.
Based on the information in the listing, if my calculations are correct, it would take
about 8 hours to charge the phone to full, but if it’s the only option, it will definitely
do the trick.
The third item is an LED strip which I was quite disappointed with.
The reason I bought it is because the product picture showed it as a 4-piece light that
would go on each edge of the screen or a TV, but what I got was just once piece.
To be fair, the description clearly states that the 1 meter piece, which is what I bought,
only comes as one piece, and I should’ve done more due diligence when buying it.
I could’ve gotten a better deal because 1-meter strips like this usually cost around
$3, while I paid $5 for this one.
The strip however works fine and I don’t think that I will be making a dispute.
It is not waterproof, and it comes with a remote control, that did not have a battery
inside.
The last item is something that I have been thinking about buying for a while now.
I will shut up for a little bit before it is out of the box to create some mystery.
It came with the tripod, which actually a selfie stick with a small tri-legged stand.
The selfie stick was nothing special, the stand was quite nice and sturdy.
The light comes with a ball bearing, which gives it more flexibility.
The light can work with a power bank, which gives it more practicality.
When the selfie stick is extended all the way out, it tilts to the side which is something
to watch for.
The light is 16 cm or about 6 inches in diameter.
It has three color modes, and a brightness adjuster, and it is pretty bright at the maximum
setting.
Since it is quite small, you have to bring it way up close to yourself if you are looking
to get the cool halo effect in your eyes, you need to bring it up way close to yourself.
Overall, for $15 with shipping I did not thin it was a bad deal, and I can definitely use
it for future unboxing videos.
Now for other stuff.
If you tend to forget your sunglasses or think they are not convenient to carry around, this
might be a solution to your everyday struggles.
These glasses fold in the middle, and also have foldable arms that you can spank, I mean
slap around things for portability.
When not folded, the arms are sturdy and seem to have functionality akin to the regular
glasses.
I have ordered a pair to see how they work in real life.
A sub-$3 dollar deal is a pretty sweet sale deal.
Night acrylic lights can be bought between $4 and $14 dollars.
There are options that just have one color, and some of them have several color options.
This is the first item that I have tested on this channel.
Some models come with a remote control.
They can also be powered by a power bank.
I will link a store that specializes in them in the video description.
Smartphone and action camera stabilizers used to be expensive, but now they are not anymore.
I remember seeing one about two years ago for $100, and now they are half that price.
This 2-axis model is battery-operated, and it turns on by a single button.
Here we have a very peculiar device that will turn your smartphone in a small TV.
It is based on the principle of Fresnel lens.
It gives a magnification effect, which makes the smartphone more convenient to use for
watching stuff.
