We’ve previewed WOWWEE’s DOG-E before, but now it’s on preorder, set to ship in October 2023. It’s now billed as the ONE-IN-A-MILLION ROBOT DOG, MINTID JUST FOR YOU. On this week’s show you’ll get an idea of what the minting process is. When you complete it, Dog-E comes to life and reveals a unique combination of colorful lights, sounds and personality traits. In that way, your Dog-E is truly one in a million. And using innovative persistence of vision technology, Dog-E can communicate with you using its tail. The Robot Dog has 200+ sounds and reactions, 6 LED lights, touch sensors, speakers, and lithium-ion rechargeable battery. MSRP: $79.99.

The first one was the Crayola Ultimate Light Board. It’s a kids Light-Up Tracing Pad that ships with six with 6 Washable Markers. A nice feature that there is a place in the back of frame to snap in the markers for storage. There’s a space between the two panels where kids can insert pictures to color. The spokesperson at the show said you can download pictures to color from the web, or use pictures from a coloring book. The white LED back light can be set to steady or to blinking. It was $27.99 on Amazon of 9/16/23. There’s a newer, smaller version called the Crayola Multi-color Light Board. It too has a clear plexi-type screen, but it doesn’t have a backing on it to slide in things to copy. It comes with four markers that store in the base. The LED light can be set for various color with the press a button. The spokesperson said it would be out in time for the holidays at $14.99. Chad thought this would be great for restaurants to use.

Chad polled our loyal Patreons and they voted on his new theme for September. That winning theme is Cheap Gadgets To Use In A Hotel.

Chad’s 2nd Cheap Hotel Gadget is the ATTLOOQ Portable Handheld Mini Personal Fan.

This mini personal fan has 3 adjustable speeds, and as you’ll hear on this week’s show, it has a very quiet motor. It’s powered by a 2500 mAh rechargeable battery, which can last up to 12 hours when fully charged. And yes, it’s USB-C.

Chad liked this little fan a lot. He said it’s very hard to find an adjustable fan that can easily sit on a night table at a hotel. He also liked that it was quiet, lasted the whole night running on a full charge, but could only be keep running while charging. It was under $14 on Amazon.

This week’s email from a long time fan of the show Dave Podnar.

He emails us:

Here is a gadget I received from running in a race.

It’s powered by 2 AA Batteries that they luckily provided us.

From the Giz Wiz: I couldn’t find that exact fan on Amazon, but this seems similar. But instead of AA batteries, It runs on a rechargeable battery.

Letter of the week:

Mo, our most loyal and frequent Giz Wiz contributor asks: Would this Forster good relations with other drivers?

I actually have a “Please be patient, student driver” Magnet sticker on the back of my car, & most of the time it works, but some drivers are just too impatient, I wonder if this sign would improve my stats. Mo
