The Giz Wiz #2092, Recorded Thursday May 14, 2026
Oh boy, one of our favorite events, the Pepcom Spring 2026 Spectacular, right here in New York City!
Here are our final three gadgets from the show!
A different kind of toothbrush…. It’s the Tao Clean UV Sanitizing Sonic Toothbrush and cleaning station. The company says their sonic technology and 40,000 tiny brush strokes per minute effectively sweeps away plaque and brushes away surface stains. That sounds good, but what really sets this brushing system apart from other sonic or electric toothbrushes is the UV Sanitizing Station. It dries, sanitizes, and protects your toothbrush while also charging it. Just place the brush back in the charger case and the built-in UV-C light eliminates 99.9% of bacteria.That way every brushing starts with a clean sanitized toothbrush. MSRP: $119.00

What Are Thermacell Tick Control Tubes?
The company says their Thermacell TICK is an easy way to kill deer ticks and prevent them from spreading Lyme disease and anaplasmosis to pets and family. Each 12 tube box, each box treats about 1/4 acre of property per application. You should apply twice a year for best results. Applying them just means placing the tubes flat on the ground in brush-covered and wooded areas with a maximum distance of ten yards between tubes. Treatment should be in areas inhibited by mice; position the tubes so mice have access to the open ends. Kids are most at risk of Lyme given the time they spend playing in tick habitat. Protect them with Tick Tubes. A 12 Tube Box was $39.99 of 5/17/26.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
Chad’s new May Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons is:
Home Office Gadgets!
Chad’s third home office gadget is the Computer Monitor Memo Message Board.
Need more space to hang Post-It notes on your computer? This is a 2 piece set that you can stick on the left and right edges of your monitor. You’ll see do a complete demo on this week’s show. They give you plenty of new areas to post messages and they are quite inexpensive. The boards measure 11” long X 3.1 wide per panel. They do have have printing on them, which Chad wasn’t crazy about, but a Post-it can easy cover them. They’re designed to be placed on the left and right edges of your monitor. Important note: The product is designed to stick to the black border/bezel of the monitor — it should not be placed directly on the screen. Narrow-bezel monitors are not recommended. Chad paid $6.99 for the set on Amazon.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
This week’s video isn’t about a gadget, but is good news to people who buy gadgets on Amazon. Chad was thrilled to learn about this new feature. Here’s Adam’s video. It’s in vertical format because the demo of the new feature is as seen on his smartphone.
Hey Dick and Chad,
Not sure if you’re aware of Amazon’s new price watch functionality that’s built into their AI they call “Rufus”, but figured I’d share in case you weren’t using it or wanted to share with viewers. It has basically replaced Camel Camel Camel for me and has been a really useful way of making sure I’m purchasing items at a lower price.
(Sorry it’s vertical video but I had to do a screen recording from my phone so not really a way to make it horizontal.)

Email of the week:
Hi Dick and Chad,
I saw this indoor garden system on my last trip to Costco and if it were a bit cheaper I would consider buying it. I’ve included the photo I took of it on display and the website with more photos below.
It was $550 in the warehouse and $599 online. It retails most places for about $800.
Despite the name, you can grow almost anything in it from herbs, veggies, plants, etc. We have a small planter box
with some veggies outside, but this seems so much more convenient!
