Bringing in the cold, before it gets too hot…..

I needed a new refrigerator because my 35 to 45 year refrigerator was failing fast. But before I could buy a new one, I had to make sure I could get the old one of of my very small walk-in kitchen. I remembered I bought an Ezmoves kit on Amazon, design to move heavy furniture, but I figured it would work on refrigerator. You’ll see me assemble the ‘unique power bar’ and unpack the 8 sliders that come with kit. Turns out, sliders were enough to move the refrigerator quite easily. We just tilted the empty refrigerator back and slid the slider under the sides. The fridge move easily. I checked Amazon and the Ezmoves kit was no longer in stock, but they have about a dozen other similar kits to heavy moving.

The refrigerator I bought is the Frigidaire 24 in. 11.6 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator – Brushed Steel It was $810.00 and I bought it at PCRichard on the upper west side of Manhattan. They have many other stores and it’s on their website. Link below. (I have no affiliation with them, but have bought many other appliances there.)

With traditional hear aids often selling for thousands of dollar, there’s a growing market for less expensive OTC Hearing Aid. These Over The Counter hearing aids are far less expensive, but are often recommend only people with low to mild hearing loss. (Note: These comments are my personal results, and thoughts. I have zero background in the area of hearing loss.) There are hearing tests in a lot of the OTC hearing aid apps, but you would need a professional audiologist test if you feel you have a pronounced hearing problem. 

On this week’s show, you’ll see my experiences with the very low priced JLab Hear earbuds, which sell for $99.99. And I also have limited experience with the ELEHEAR Beyond in-ear earbuds. (Both supplied as product sample by the companies at two different trade shows. Neither company has seen my OTC hearing aid video, or this report, to my knowledge.)

As a ‘What The Heck Is It?’ this gadget was hard to guess. Know what it is? 

That is a picture of the Professional Grade Extra Large Tunnel Rat Snap Trap.

It’s designed for indoor and outdoor pest control of rodents and is reusable. The company says it has a safe design, with a built-in tunnel cover, so there is no exposed jaw for safety of pets and humans, specially children. You’ll see a demo of how to use, and even see it ‘go off’ using a pencil, on this week’s show. (Don’t worry, no rodents are shown!) There are many different companies making this type of trap, but the one I bought on Amazon was branded Filpestco. Three traps were $29.95.

It’s April Time for a new theme for Chad’s Crappy Corner. On this show we learned what the winning theme, voted on by our loyal Patreons was! And it is – Ta Da! Gadgets for Your Gadgets. That would be things you might use to help you use gadgets you already own.

Chad’s First Cheap Gadget for your gadgets is a perfect fit. It’s the Nite-Ize Gear Tie. You most likely already own hoses, cable, lines, extension cords, etc., so this is a fast and easy way to tie them up, hang them up, or just to put them neatly away. Nite-Ize makes a wide assortment of these, which are also widely available. Chad got his pair of 1” by 18” Gear Ties at Lowes for under $8.00. They’re about a buck cheaper on Amazon.

Here’s a link to an assortment of Nite-Ize Gear Ties, including the ones Chad showed.

Our email this week is from James Dodd who writes::

Hi Dick & Chad,

Another pointless gadget from me.

I just returned from Disneyland where I celebrated my birthday. My gadget comes from www.waitsigns.com at a cost of $100.  It does require a subscription to get the information.  I paid for a full year at $55 to get one month free. I need to schedule my next trip to Disney so I can use the countdown feature.

From the Giz Wiz — Wow, talk about a Disneyland fan! Wait until you see James’ video. It even made Chad jealous!
