As a disabled person, I see the umbrella hat as pretty useful. It is hard to hold a traditional umbrella and use a walker or a manual wheelchair. In a place where we tend to see more rain than sunshine I will probably be purchasing this for the future.

@slektektiv 3 года назад

Try one of these: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sou'wester

@rollon3530 3 года назад

I can see the use in the sun for your situation, but I use a wheelchair also and have never found anything that helps in the rain. This device would simply funnel the rain on to the legs. A friend one devised an umbrella that was attached to the chair (large sized) and it might have worked if the wind had not caught under it and flipped me out of the chair. It was at least entertaining for all of us, but decidedly not useful. Basically, I have just gotten used to being wet since 1983!

@strivingformindfulness2356 3 года назад

@@rollon3530 The umbrella-hat in the video looks like it has air vents close to the top, so that the wind blows through the vents, instead of turning it inside-out. It sounds like the one your friend designed needed air vents. Maybe the umbrella-hat could be improved with some sort of gutter attachment around the bottom, that would siphon the water to the rear, and keep the user drier.

@@rollon3530 Don't they make a hood like the kind they have on strollers that can be attached? www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Framed-Raincover-Pushchairs-Strollers/dp/B00ARHLP8W It seems the most logical design though they'd have to work harder to make sure visibility through the plastic isn't compromised. EDIT: There's a ton of really nice sun/rain canopies for mobility scooters and a couple for powered wheelchairs but the rain covers I see are crappily designed without a frame for some reason. It shouldn't be that hard to have detachable struts from the back of the chair or handles that the canopy attaches to! Even this one www.specialneedspushchairs.co.uk/trotter-accessories/ is a special needs pushchair for children- why the hell can't they make one for adults? I only have to fumble with my walking stick and an umbrella but I'm kind of mad on your behalf.

That mug has got to be an absolute nightmare to clean though, with fiddly moving parts that get in the way, having to worry about water getting into battery compartments, etc. etc. And unless you _really_ master the cleaning, you're probably going to want to get two...

Still, if one is to use the mug _as_ a mug, _per se,_ and not merely as a hand held mixer, then I would still be unhappy about using a mug that I couldn't *immerse* in hot soapy water to clean. (Well, at least we see eye to eye on the soap and water!) And I would still be lairy of getting that battery compartment wet. Sure, you could clean _around_ that part, but >`tshh!‘< _Fiddly!!_ But that doesn't make it a bad invention, just means that I'm a persnickety 'S~o~B'!

Yeah, lots of uses beyond wrapped burritos, especially if it turns out to actually be reasonably easy to clean. When you said pringles, I thought, "That's WAY too wide for pringles," but then I realized that it would be fantastic for pushing SO many snacks closer to you as you reached the bottom, like popcorn, cheetos, nuts, trail mix... I would probably use it more often for snacks than for a burrito or sub. This, of course, only if it was more reasonably priced and how to clean it was revealed. :P

@Guiggs17 3 года назад

I've got the self stirring mug as a gift a while ago and found it very useful. It's like a tiny blender so it mixes way better than the spoon, making little bit of foam in the top. The problem is the construction quality, the batttery holder it's not well sealed, so water will infiltrate everytime you try to clean it. This causes rust and will damage the components inside. My product stopped to work two months later, I openned up, and it was totally rusted.

As a travel mug the self stirring mug is extremely useful. No need to clean a spoon or throw away utensil trash.

Just playing devils advocate a bit here in defense of the burrito pop up. To me it’s clearly designed for the major, and most popular, burrito chains like Chipotle, or Pancheros. Whose burritos are very short, fat, and filled to the brim with ingredients and sauces. It doesn’t matter how much tin foil they wrap it in if you’re driving it WILL get on you. So having the tin foil to keep it warm and a container to store it, make it easier to eat while driving, and hopefully improving the cleanliness I’m 100% on board. Maybe at a lower price like $20ish would be a more fair price but I’d definitely consider the purchase. Thank you for showing this to me, love the content as always man!

@DarKnightKilla13 3 года назад

@@vaguedreams Just on a personal side note... Chipotle sucks compared to Moe's and in my humble opinion Moe's is actually decent...but totally get where you're coming from. We have more authentic places here, but not gonna get a 5 second burrito out of them, they're more sit-down restaurants than a Chipotle or Moe's... in which case you wouldn't need this. Bet it ironically works well with breakfast burritos, though.

Been using the self stir mug for Many many years. My first one prolly 15yrs ago when I was active duty military. We drink lots of coffee. I really like it. They keep your coffee hot longer and I like not having to find a stir device. They dont last forever..... But it's only $5 here. I just bought a new one a few weeks ago. My last one had a wire come loose. Could solder it..... But wasn't worth the hassle for five bucks. I like it. Using it right now as I watch your channel.

I got to be honest I love umbrella hats. I'm surprised that they aren't more popular. We are always carrying stuff in our hands, or worrying about the kids, lounging in the pool or going for a run. I mean who wants to hold an umbrella with their hand when you can be hands-free and still get shade and not wet? It's just like using a backpack instead of carrying things with your hand. It's honestly one of the most genius things.

Burrito pop is the idea for eating in a rental car or your personal car.If you get a juicy burrito from Taco Bell or Chipotle, you can eat it without messing up the car, or use it if you want to eat a burrito on your lunch break, but are hesitant because you might mess up your suit, and come back to work embarrassed.. All the mess stays in there. We love your show. We get a lot of warnings on things not to buy, including the smokeless grill, that didn't sear your steaks properly.

The self stirring mug is great for people with neuro/dexterity issues! Someone with Parkinson's or RA who may not be able to grab and swirl a spoon, it is probably wonderful. Before you say something is dumb or not useful, I feel like you need to consider people who aren't as abled, who may benefit. Also, the labelling seems dumb but considering there are batteries, it's probably so that those using it, don't accidentally put it in the dishwasher or sink!
