AMAZING! Next month we’ll be starting year 18 of The Giz Wiz Show!
(The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

We start off the year with look back at some of The Best Gadgets of 2022! Turns out we uncovered a lot of useful, unique and often fun gadgets during the previous year. And here they are, in no particular order!
Here’s a great light bulb that can become VERY useful in an emergency!
The Jackonlux LED bulb comes with a little plastic gadget that looks like a mini outlet. Plug your lamp into it and yes, the Jackonlux bulb will light! That’s because the JackonLux bulb is a combination of a regular led bulb and a power outage light with a built-in battery. If there is power outage, it will stay lit if it’s already lit. It doesn’t come automatically when it’s off while you’re away to save battery power for when you’ll need it. Being an LED bulb, it uses just 9 watts, about a 60W equivalent. I bought the soft white 3000K version. Charging Time is 8-10 hours, butit charges all the time you’re use the bulb as a regular light. Once it’s fully charged, charging automatically stops. It’s a standard E26 base, just like a regular light bulb you normally use. Also included with the bulb is a cap with a small hook on top. Remove the bulb from a lamp, screw on the cap and control on / off by the cap’s built-in switch. This is great to carry around in an emergency or even for use in a tent or outdoor shed at night. If it’s on when the power goes out, it should stay on, but it may not work properly when connected through a powerstrip. I bought the two pack for $17.99 on Amazon.

Let the Cool Caddy Handle Hot Dishes From The Microwave.
Chad liked Cool Caddy and found it works rather well. It’s a device to let you heat dishes in the microwave, while catching spills and protecting your hands from the heat when you remove them. It become ‘unavailable’ on Amazon shortly
after Chad showed it. But, our chatroom found one that does a lot more, and costs a lot less. Chad said he wished he had seen the Microwave Cover with Tray that protects your microwave from splatters and spots before he spent $17 on his. The one they found is listed below. (Yes, I now own one and like it.) It does basically the same thing – “The tray has two handles, which can prevent scalding, allowing you to quickly take out the heated food, and keep the microwave clean without washing.” But it also comes with a Microwave Cover for Food. Small holes in the top of the lid allow steam to escape, encouraging airflow to prevent condensation buildup. But wait there’s more, it also collapses! One unit was under $10 in grey and a set of 2 about $17 as of 1/6/23. The photo is the one I bought. Be aware that the price varies by color.
