AMAZING! Soon 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 wrap up the year with look back at The worst of the worst gadgets of 2022! At first I thought Chad would have the most with all his ‘cheap crappy gadget’ corner themes, but it turns out I bought a lot of crap during the year too. And here they are, in no particular crappy order!
The Worst Gadgets We Uncovered in 2022! (In no particular order.)
A Device That Doesn’t Suck (Even though it’s supposed to!)
Meet The Odistar Rechargeable Mini Vacuum. Info from Amazon: Features a powerful 1600mAh built-in rechargeable battery. Capture nozzle picks up larger debris with ease unlike other manual vacuum cleaner. You can easily cleaning dust of desktop, computer, keyboard, etc. With 1000Pa of suction power, Table Vacuum Cleaner is strong enough to pick up even the largest piles. Yet, it is quiet enough for you to read or sleep while it cleans.
And from the Giz Wiz: Whoa. This sucks in the worst way! Possibly it might work to clean the crumbs off the table, but other than that, I think it’s useless. Watch a mini demo on this week’s show. At least it’s cheap. About $14 for the battery version (uses 2 AA, not included) and about $16.00 for the rechargeable version.

Chad found another gadget that doesn’t suck, but should!
From the company: VaBroom Cordless 2-in-1 Sweeper with Built-In Vacuum. Info via Walmark: Tackle dirt & debris with this cordless broom that has a built-in vacuum! It features a quiet 14,000 RPM motor so you can easily sweep dirt and debris, and then vacuum it up by simply pressing the suction nozzle to the floor. No bending or dustpan needed. Empty contents in the trash with the easy release button. Rechargeable lithium power pack with 72 Inch charging cable included.
And Chad’s take? Although one review said he had it up and charging in a few minutes Chad had trouble with both. Although he only charged it for 30 minutes, it showed no signs of trying to turn on. But another big problem is that the top section of handle which is supposed to screw together seemed not to have threads. So when Chad tried to picked up the broom it came off. And it was $60.00 at Walmart and even more, $65 on Amazon where it only got 3.3 stars out of 5. (Price & stars as of 4/11/22)
Walmart: https://tinyurl.com/2p9d9t4u $59.99 Got better reviews than Amazon here.
It was like $9 cheaper on Amazon. Check the latest price: https://amzn.to/3LUaaxB
