I think the rotating air freshener would be too distracting for me.

@stangeric1 Год назад

Its too fast. I like it tho. Ill set it in the back of the car.

@joriswilson7988 Год назад

Was thinking the same thing lol. Might save it for the window by my desk

@basavarajgonvar6698 11 месяцев назад

I do agree

@user-ee6lk1pb6w 10 месяцев назад

How is it too distracting? I instantly got bored of it and stop paying attention to it. You guys mostly likely have a short attention span

@azlantalat3421 10 месяцев назад

It will never work at nighttime driving

@MagicScorpio Год назад

Bought those vent covers about 5 years ago. People love them. Also, I’m not adjusting my vents nonstop so I cut them to where my vents stay. They match well with the red leather seats.

@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 Год назад

I read reviews that the color fades pretty quick. Did you have that problem?

@MagicScorpio Год назад

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 I bought my car over 6 years ago. Got tints at 20/30 percent within first 2 months. Windshield Is slightly less tinted. Got the vent covers maybe 6 months after tints. Color is the same as when I bought it. Not even faded the slightest. Maybe it’s the tints. Maybe they are different. I paid like $2 total and did 4 different vents. So…TL;dr… mine are still good. Still have extra pieces in my center console and they look identical. Very cool update for almost no money. I recommend getting them if you like the look.

@richiethev4623 Год назад

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 I assuming the color must fade for those regular window's since the sun beams in and age's thing's quicker. On the other hand if you have tinted window's thus causing the sun not to beam in as much the color fading issue will be no issue for you..

@DizzyPillow Год назад

@@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444 Mine faded pretty quick. Blue to Silver so honestly still doesnt look too bad. No window tint or anything so that may effect it.

Be aware that the Solar Air Freshener can damage your dashboard if the sunlight pass trough the glass sphere. I had the same gadget, and it did leave a burnt mark across my dashboard.

@soupsgord Год назад

Oh good tip! Never thought of that!

@thomascozart1095 Год назад

Ouch! I think it would be very distracting when driving.

@Mercury_Shadow Год назад

Can confirm, They tell you to cover fortune teller crystal balls and contact juggle balls because they can reflect the sun and start fires; NOT! for the commonly believed reason that the sun can damage the crystal.

@koi.in.pond3149 Год назад

I had a paper weight do that ! It could of started a house fire.

@nightowl8548 Год назад

I was wondering about that. Especially in Vegas. Gets pretty hot there. Fire waiting to hsppen!

@cyberi4a Год назад

For the mirror phone holder, in my state you would get a ticket for driving with something hanging from your mirror since it blocks your view while driving if someone was crossing the street or a child running out. Years ago they had those auto fan gadgets and they never worked.

@munkustrap2 Год назад

I thought all states had a law against driving with things hanging from your mirror...I know MA does, though in 41 years of driving I've never gotten a ticket.

@drfreud65 Год назад

Same in Iowa.

@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Год назад

When the tree incenses began to be used as an excuse to profile people and stop them, I stopped hanging anything on my mirrors.

@sandybruce9092 Год назад

I don’t know if NC has this law but I wouldn’t use the camera holder that drops from the mirror because it would drive me crazy! I’m going to stick with a good cup camera holder - when using GPS I always keep it,plugged in as this use really takes down the power.

@frozedokkanbattle Год назад

Love when James does car gadgets videos it genuinely helps me with stuff I may want for my car. Especially his dash cam videos definitely have helped me want to get a dash cam for my car for insurance purposes to shows who’s at fault in a accident

@musicmaniac32 Год назад

I just finished installing a dash cam. I didn't want to stick the adhesive on my windshield so I bought a rearview mirror dash cam holder on Amazon. I highly recommend it!

@xbrthrhdx Год назад

In Florida it doesn't matter. Such a bummer.

@jeffreythomason1113 Год назад

This is my absolute go to page for enlightenment and entertainment! James, that's an awful big responsibility on your part keeping me entertained and enlighted. Please vacuum up those blue fuzzy things on the passenger seat. Thanks for the laughs

@Marilynlovesebiking Год назад

I like the bling vent edge covers. The clip on the visor also came in handy during the pandemic for hanging masks! My kids used them for that.

@drfreud65 Год назад

Between monkeypox and Covid-19, we're still using our masks.

@pjwood220 Год назад

I didn't hear a price for phone holder

@frankie9259 Год назад

Your channel just keeps getting better and better . Thanks for putting so much time , effort and money into these reviews .

@ronnie-being-ronnie Год назад

Just a note…in VA it is illegal to have stuff hanging from the mirror, and having an air freshener will get you in trouble, too, because it’s obviously intended to hide the smell of drugs or alcohol (eye roll). Nothing on the dash or vents, or hanging off the rear view mirror, or on the glass except required stickers. Check your own state laws for weirdness.

@ericjones-jc8gu Год назад

I also had one of the solar vent devices back in 1990....something, one would think that the technology/performance would have improved in three decades. The solar device was interesting, it reminded my (warped) mind of the prisoner holding thing in Superman II. Another entertaining review, keep 'em coming. 👍👍

@laurallewien2165 Год назад

Thanks Eric, I'm sitting here wondering now where have I seen those rotating rings before ....and bam! Superman 2, 🦸‍♂️ of course! Have a great day 😀

@travellingslim Год назад

For those thinking about the Mirror Phone Holder in the USA, depending on which state you are in and how the police are with enforcement, you may get pulled over for having an obstructed view. Buyer beware!

@shel.b.1090 Год назад

Think the same would apply here in the uk.

@aliceakosota797 Год назад

Ftp

@gwine9087 Год назад

It's huge. About 4 times the size of mine that clips to the vent.

@kh23797 Год назад

@@shel.b.1090 Correct, it is an infraction in the UK now-but there is a solution. On late teens VWs like my Polo (2018) and I presume other makes too, the phone can be run through the Infotainment screen via a skinny USB cable. Great for Waze, Sygic, Google Maps etc. More recently, VW's version has become wireless Bluetooth. Either way, there is no need to look at the phone itself. Progress!

@Freakie1NL Год назад

As it should (getting pulled over for this). An motorcycle can definitely disappear behind that. Absolutely dangerous.

@rachelrodgers9171 Год назад

I really love that first one, the solar powered orb spinner. I've seen several of your videos with that on your dashboard and was instantly intrigued. It is mesmerizing to watch.

@MichaelG63 Год назад

Another great video, James! I really appreciate all the things you demonstrate for us! I think the air freshener would distract me while I was driving, plus I'd be afraid the scent is too strong. I am going to order the vent covers just like the ones you had because the exterior of my car is red. I've used something like the visor clips before and have always ended up breaking them. The mirror phone holder looks like it works great, but having anything hanging down under the mirror is illegal in many states because of the vision it blocks while driving. I bought a different new car vac 2 weeks ago that works pretty well. I have a car inflator, but the one you showed is smaller and looked like it worked pretty well. The auto fan isn't worth the effort or risk of rain damage.

@appleimacdude Год назад

The ATEM car air purifier is something I love - HEPA filter for the car - has strap to hang from headrests, app is a bit wonky, but you can always reach behind and turn the unit on or off. Makes the A/C feel fresher and colder to me, and it won't drain your battery if left on accidentally. It will refuse to come on if the inside is too hot until it cools down a bit - but I still love this gizmo. Intend to have them switch the black case on mine to white case they use on desk models to hopefully stay cooler.

@superbmediacontentcreator Год назад

I remember the window fan in the 80s and it worked about the same! Another great review and many of the products you've featured I have actually bought and used and have promoted to friends.

@membear Год назад

That mirror phone holder looks like a traffic ticket waiting to happen for obstructed view.

@TungstenCarbideProjectile Год назад

I love how you go into every product like a wide eyed consumer. And will never be jaded by the million reviews you've done already.

@sylverscale Год назад

Well, I don't even have a car - I still love watching those. 😁 As for the vaccum cleaner, that's pretty expensive. I've got one I use for small cleanups in the home. It's a little bigger but comes with several attachments including a tube to clean harder to reach spaces. The filter is metal so will last way longer. Cost me about $35.

@trekkeruss Год назад

The brass attachment for the Fanttik inflator at 13:18 is a presta valve adapter. Presta valves (also known as French valves) are found on high-end bicycles. I don't have the inflator, but I do have the Fanttik T8 jump starter, which is great.

@jasminemaher8641 Год назад

I had one of the original auto fans. I felt they did help only slightly. When compared to leaving it with and without it on various days. It did help for stuffiness.

@kriscynical Год назад

I have the vent covers! Mine are in blue. They're a little tricky to put on but once you do, I really like how they look. I never move around my vents so it doesn't matter to me that it hinders that.

@happyfuntimepewpew Год назад

the phone holder may not be legal in some states, as it obstructs the windshield view. some states do not allow anything to hang from the rear view mirror.

@Mercury_Shadow Год назад

Exactly what I came to say.

@TheFallenFaob Год назад

I saw an ad for something like this on Facebook but it sticks down much farther so I made this same comment but I don't think the company liked it and it got taken down as spam

@Goblindru Год назад

yep. its a misdemeanor in Texas

@jamesberton7947 Год назад

most cops don't stop you for that. most likely if they do cite you for it it's because they stopped you for something else anyway.

@@jamesberton7947 damn right! cop pulled me over for beating the light change, but also said he would have ticketed me for cracked windshield and tinted license plates… he let me go instead… 😂

Yeahhh that phone holder is pretty much a very big blind spot for your windshield. Pretty sure it would be illegal in Europe.

Anything hanging off your rearview mirror while driving is illegal here, too.

@coondogtheman Год назад

One thing I know about the small portable vacuums is the extremely fine dust clogs up the filter quick and then you need to blow it out with the air compressor. At least the vac you have has a blower feature.

well you can put this in your glove compartment, also it's usb-c powered so you can charge it using your car

@Superman-xr1oh 9 месяцев назад

A dustbuster is big and clunky, where are you going to conveniently fit that in your car? Also, unless you have a modern car that has a 120v outlet in it already, then you're going need a 12v converter just to charge this in your car.

@Caitlin1928 Год назад

The thing about the air freshener is that it's on the dash and it's such a major distraction. If it didn't move at all, it would be one thing, but I think I'd be constantly distracted by it moving all the time.

I use a similar mirror clip-on phone holder. It holds very well. I use it to hold an old retired smartphone running Droid Dashcam. If you think about it could you do a comparison of dashcam software? I like droid dashcam but have no idea how it compares to others.

I am a model builder and I am using a tiny vacuum like the shown one for when I make trees or static grass. Normally you would suck the exces product with a sock or stocking over a vacuum cleaner, so you can reuse it. Flock, grass and so on is crazy expensive so you don't want to waste anything. Now I have a mini vac in my drawer ready instead of getting the large one. Since I don't ever use it to random vacuuming, there is nothing else in there than the product I want te retrieve. I think it's better suited for this than to use in a car or so.
