Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
John Conway plays WTHII on this week’s warehouse video.
It was purchased from Aldi and I’m sure it’s private labeled as most of their products. Much like 5 below. The brand name on the product is Easy Home. They were $14. This fascinated me cause of the dual propose of portable charger and hand warmer. It works. Much better than I imagined. I never did run it down but did get at least four hours from it. So it does work as advertised. Since I keep my place at 55 degrees it has come in handy watching Gwhiz.

From the Giz Wiz: I find a similar product on Amazon. Check below.)
John Conway, Whiting NJ
John adds: If you know any seniors who need housing this is only a hour out of the city, Philly or NY. . The area I’m referring to is Manchester Twp in Jersey, and it the cheapest housing in the country. I was homeless, by choice, after loosing my live aboard sailboat in a hurricane. A friend told me about the housing coop and it’s security. Thought I would pass this on as being 70 and looking for housing is just plain crazy.
Keep up the great work, John
This looks very much like it on Amazon. It was under $13.00 as of 2/10/23.

How To Submit Your Video For The Gadget Warehouse & Win An Autographed Copy of MAD Magazine.
We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show! Here’s what we’re looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:
I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won’t get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, “family friendly” language applies.
–
I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can’t market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it’s a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.
–
My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don’t have a warehouse. It doesn’t matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you’re still hanging on to it.
–
My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.
–
Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We’ll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that’s unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you’ll also get an autographed 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of US, I can autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res copy if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific! If you submitting warehouse videos for a second, third time, etc., you’ll get the current issue of MAD as a thank you.
