This is our “worst of” show, the worst gadgets Chad & I reviewed in 2021!
I didn’t include a lot of details on the gadgets we talked about on this show because there’s nothing here worth buying. It’s more of a ‘warning, don’t buy’ show! Links to items still for sale are are included in case you want to find more info, or read other reviews.
We worked backwards with a countdown from 10 – pretty bad to 1 — really awful!
10. Blackout Buddy –Emergency LED Flashlight.
From Eton, a company that makes some wonderful gadgets for emergencies. This however, I felt isn’t one of them.
It doesn’t give much more light than water-activated LED’s on Amazon that sell for 1/3 the price.
Basically, these don’t use batteries. When you need light in an emergency, dip this is water and in seconds it will light up. It will stay on for many hours, but once the light goes out, the life of the gadget is over. So you never have to worry that the battery is dead, but you have to remember to have an unused one ready for light in an emergency.
All the details and a video demo is on this week’s show.

9. Charge your smartphone right through a table?
That’s the idea behind the the badly named: HOCAO YIGO Long-Distance Wireless Charger. This Self Install qi Charger seems like a great idea, but Chad tried to use it in many places around his house and found no place he could use it or even get it to work properly. On Amazon, the link indicates SOLD OUT, which is posted in a lot of places. Chad wondered why they did that. Me too.
