Cord Organizers For Devices With Long Cords.

I like these a lot! It’s a very simple to roll up power cords on appliances, and even have a place to lock the plug so it’s out of the way. Suitable for dozens of household appliances. They can be applied to various devices such as stand mixer, coffee machines, air fryers, electric kettle, toaster, juicer, etc. I bought these and used one of them right away to hold the long cord on a portable fan in place when I put it away. It turns out the exact ones I showed on World News Now sold out, but I found a very similar set for a much lower price. I also bought them and they seem great for under $7 for a dozen of them in various colors! But remember, prices can change quickly on Amazon.

Socks For Your Chairs Or Small Table Legs? Yes, It’s A Thing!

I have a small folding wooden table that I move around my apartment for many different situations. The table makes a terrible screeching sound if you drag it, and if you lift it up, the legs instantly start to close, often on my fingers. So I needed a solution and I found one.

It’s NancyProtectz, said to be the original furniture sock with rubberized grips on the inside to keep them in place. These come in different sizes and colors making it easy and convenient to match for the various chair (or small table) legs in your home. I think it will protects floors from scratches, as least it does for me. They also reduce the sound of screeching furniture on the floor. Easy to install and stretches to fit most furniture leg shapes. See size chart and color selection on Amazon. I bought small for my table. Set of 8 was $13.99 when I bought mine early April, 2023.

Stop Buying Cans of Compressed Air.

Meet the SOPYOU Rechargeable Compressed Air Duster. I felt bad buying can of compressed air for various cleaning chores around my apartment and studio. The I read this on  Amazon: The SOPYOU compressed air duster is equipped with an upgraded 110000 RPM motor. Two other speeds are (51000 rpm and 81000 rpm, so that dust has nowhere to stay. Built-in 7600mAh battery, which can run continuously for 20-35 minutes. USB-C fast charging cable included. The keyboard cleaner ships with 5 nozzles and 3 brushes to meet your different needs. Clean blinds, fans, cars, computer cases, keyboards, laptops, cameras, air conditioners and other electronic equipment. The electric air blower can even be used for products that need to be inflated, such as swimming rings, water beds, yoga balls, air mattresses, inflatable toys, etc. An LED light automatically illuminates when turned on compressed air duster. This is a great ‘green’ replacement for compressed are in a throw-away can. MSRP: $64.99. There are less expensive air dusters on Amazon, but when I bought this one it had the highest speed I could find!

You can shop on Amazon for less expensive versions too. There are many of them. I bought this one because at the time I bought it, it was the highest speed duster I could find at 110,000 RPM according to Sopyou.

Here Are The Outdoor Gadgets Andrew & I Talked About On World News Now

Meet a mini-picnic table that fits in a little travel bag!

It’s hard to believe from it’s small size in the travel bag, that it’s a Jkwokback Mini-Foldable Beach Table. It’s ultralight aluminum, ideal for outdoor picnics on the grass or on the sand at the beach. It has short legs, but they’re high enough to keep the food off the ground, and sturdy enough that drinks won’t fall over. The company says the beach table weighs 1.8 pounds overall and comes with a black drawstring storage bag. It was a couple of ounces less than that on my postage scale. It takes up little space and is easy to carry. The size when opened is roughly: 16.9″ x 11.95″ x 2.95″H. There are no instructions but once you see me unfold it and fold it back up again on this week’s show, you’ll know how to do. No tools are needed. It’s a clever design. The company says it’s waterproof and rust-proof and even with food and grease stains, it can be easily wiped and cleaned. It’s comes in 3 colors and was about $17.00 on 621/23.

Great for vacations, camping trips, and yes, Podcasting!

Meet the AnkerWork M650 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System.

Great for shooting videos outdoors, or in, is this new mic system from AnkerWorks. Dual wireless mics with hi/low noise cancellation really cuts down on background noise. You saw that as I walk in Riverside Park, NYC moving far away from the camera.) You can even add a furry windscreen cover (included) for really bad conditions. Store up to 7 hours of uncompressed audio on the mics, in case the audio on your camera or phone isn’t good enough. Anker says their TrueLink connection offers up to 656 ft (200 m) transmission. The transmitters and receivers pair automatically. In the case are Lightning and USB accessories for Android connections. Fully charged, expect 6 hours of work time, and up to 15H battery life with the charging case. MSRP $249.99. Available in black or white.
