I Bought The Most UNNECESSARY Tech Ever

I bought and tested the most pointless, stupid, dumb looking tech...and actually instead found genius

I can't believe both how DUMB and also how SMART some of these products were - which was your favourite? 😆

Imagine getting a drone that is escaping from you because it’s too shy to have a tech review

The first product should be use like a neckband so when the buds are dropped they hung up with the neck by the wire.

[nazirite]

Sorry but some of the things were tested with the wrong original intentions. The "vacuum" was not meant to be a vacuum replacement but a dust pan replacement. The "wire" for the earpods was meant to be a neckband behind your neck for a run.

Arun im pretty sure that vacuum was made for people who sweep their floors once or twice a week or so. So you can sweep up a pile of stuff and instead of using a dustpan to throw it away. That machine sucks it up for you. I actually think that is a really good idea to have one of those because dustpans are annoying to use and it actually seems really convenient. But that is just my opinion

[anshikalifestyle]

No ! Those ear pods were supposed to act like neckband not as wired earphones 😭

0/10 for the vacuum slab is a bit harsch when it pretty much does what is advertised, especially considering that other products that are clearly broken and non-functional got a higher note. I believe you're approaching it the wrong way: it's not supposed to be a replacement for a broom of a vacuum cleaner, it's supposed to be a replacement for a dustpan.

It fills one very specific niche: you don't want to carry a heavy and noisy vacuum cleaner across your house so you'd rather use a broom, but you also don't want to crouch to collect the dust in your dustpan. In that light, this product makes perfect sense, even if it's a bit too niche for its price. It's unfair to judge it for not being able to vacuum one meter away, because you're supposed to sweep the dust directly into its mouth. It's not that last broom sweep it's trying to save you from, it's the next step of having to go get your duspan and handbrush, kneeling down, collecting your pile into the dustpan, and throwing it into the trash.

Again, it's not a good product, and way too pricy for the small chore it's trying to replace, but I wouldn't call it useless. Still a much better use of 150 bucks than a plastic toaster with a laser-cut metal plate, a powerbank belt with no power, or a selfie drone with no stabilization and a shoddy camera.

The vac, you're way too harsh! Hear me out, here's the use case.
It's NOT replacing the vacuum - it's replacing the dustpan.

First off, barber shops would LOVE this thing. They usually use brooms to clean up the cut hair, and have a bin sunk into the floor. This could replace that.

Second, after you have swept dust on your tiles and now want to get rid of it, dustpans SUCK. Well, they don't and that's the problem, but this does. With a dustpan, you have to bend over or kneel down constantly, trying and get as much as possible on the dustpan, and it's never gonna be everything because it constantly gets stuck on the ledge of the pan. You could also use wet paper towels every time, but still crawling on the floor to do so.

So, this lets you get everything together with the broom like in the old times, but instead of dustpanning in the end, you use this instead in one go with 3 seconds of noise. And either less (ideally), or the same amount of leftover on the floor.



Okay, why not just get a full vacuum instead?
Well, any and all situations where you need to avoid noise as much as possible, this makes perfect sense. Sleeping baby, or spouse working night shift, maybe it's late night and you don't want to disturb the neighbors. A few seconds of noise is much less likely to wake anyone up in the apartment one over. Plus, you could also argue it's more eco friendly.


Yes, I am that guy. I am the night owl. I would love to use the broom more, but it's such a hassle. I'd love to vacuum more, but it's too loud. So if I don't want to disturb anyone, I just have to put up with either the annoyance of a dust pan, or sweeping, and then... using the vacuum for 3 seconds to suck it up from there. Having this instead of pulling out the vacuum for just three seconds of on-time, would be neat.


The earphones - it's a modern walkman. Especially if you can put MP3s on there. When you're leaving the phone at home on purpose, this could be a rather high quality modern iPod alternative, wouldn't it?



As for the eye contact cam. Yep. I know someone who did NOT get a big display but two small ones, so he can tape (yes) a webcam, BETWEEN, the two displays. To be able to take the video of the other person, and drag it across both screens, thick bezel right in their face. Just to make eye contact.

Dhrisha pulling the laptop away while you're reading further and further into the duck urinal was absolutely hilarious 😂 a silent "no" followed by "....yeah" ☠️ She wasn't taking any chances 😂

[M_and_M_in_a_van]

@Mrwhosetheboss The vacuum is usually used in hairdresser's salons. They have it close to where they cut your hair and then use a lightweight broom to swipe it up towards the vacuum. No cables, no heavy vacuum, noise for just seconds. 10/10

I think the airpods wires works like a neckband which should have been behind your neck lmao

[davidlefley]

I’m not saying the stationary robo vacuum is good as I’ve never seen one but I think you approached the product wrong.. think of it as an auto dustpan, brush sweep the floor to the vac and boom, no bending down. And with me being mid stage Parkinson’s Disease with balance issues not having to bend down whilst needing both hands to dustpan and brush, it would give me a sense of independence.

I bought the most “insert something here” tech ever is one of the best series on YouTube!

[salus]

I feel bad for people that use videos like these as purchasing decisions. Some of Mrwhosetheboss's content is good for objectively reviewing, and then you get content like this, where their 30 second summary of an item so often misses so many marks.

Know what works better than an aluminum tray that melts a pattern into an ice cube? An ice cube tray with built in patterns. But what works even better is just a normal ice cube tray. BAM!
