- This is a bit of a mix video, between two topics, but hey - it's ALL about puzzles, so who cares, right? 😂😜
I absolutely enjoyed filming this and I have to admit, that there is some sort of satisfaction, going through different eras of a puzzle brand! I enjoy the brand videos so much, that it makes me wanna do more of them! 😅🙈
Puzzles in this video are all 500 piece puzzles y Schmidt and their titles are:
1. Courtyard Garden
2. Angel Love

First, can I just say you look stunning in red, such a beautiful woman. But this is about puzzles, so back to that. I enjoy watching your videos and hearing your opinions on how they are constructed, or cut, or the ease/difficulty of the image. Keep up the great job of sharing your love of puzzling.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🥰 I'm glad to hear you're enjoying my channel content 😁
Schmidt is one of my new favorite brands. I’m glad you introduced them to me. I currently have 5 different ones and growing 😆
I'm so happy to hear that! 🤩 It's such a great brand, but so many people don't know about it 😅
The first two puzzle are difficult, so you had amazing times!
Thank you! 🤗 Got me worried that I lost my puzzle mojo 😅😜
I have to say I agree about a tight fit. I'd rather have to take my time taking it apart at the end than have it be crumbly while I'm trying to build it. I really love your brand comparison videos and hope you are able to do more. Also good luck on the next BOTYP!
I feel the same way. I mean 3D puzzles are insane, they're very difficult to separate, but any cardboard puzzle - no matter how tight - it should be fine to disassemble 😁 I'm enjoying this types of videos too, so hopefully I'll manage to get some more puzzles, to do the comparison with! 🤩 Thank you! 🥰
Havevent tried Schmidt yet but I got one from my puzzlehaul from Michelle so its on my to do list! Loved the video as always!
You're gonna love Schmidt! They have such good quality! 🤩 Thank you! 🥰
I really enjoyed this comparison brand quality puzzle series 🥰😁I have been building a lot of summer food related puzzle images and ice cream treats puzzles. End up hungry too😂When you where moving the 4 puzzles around the table, my heart was about to drop 🫣😅
Thank you Laura! 🥰 They look so tasty, don't they??!? 😅🙈 Hahaha yeah... my heart nearly dropped a few times too! 😂
I'm doing a 1000 piece Van Gogh that is making me crazy. Same colors and brush strokes everywhere. Hopefully my daughter and I can finish it when she comes home this weekend.
Oh no! I don't like paintings as puzzle images - they can be really difficult! 😅 Good luck with the puzzle! 🤗
@@janetteandherpuzzles Thanks! Got it.
I am really enjoying these comparison videos. I don't blame you for not finishing the second puzzle -- all that black! It's nice to know that Schmidt puzzles are getting better. Will have to keep an eye out to buy some to try, too. I agree with you on tight fit. I did a vintage puzzle (1950s) recently and all it did was shift around and I spent more time just trying to keep it all together. Thanks, Janette.
Thank you so much! 🤗 I actually managed to finish it last night, finally!! 😅 I know Schmidt puzzles can be a bit difficult to get your hands on if you're in the US, but I wish you luck on the search! 😁
Oh boy!! I know exactly what you mean!! I had a few puzzles like that and it was an absolute nightmare to put them together 😬
Great times and great comparison.
Thank you! 🥰
Great times! Don't be too harsh to yourself 😂 nice video, very interesting comparison. I love the quality of Schmidt ❤
Thank you! 😁🙈 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤩 I love Schmidt too! 😁👌🏻
Thanks for nice video. I bought Schmidt Puzzle Rising Rainbow by Josie Lewis and I was surprised that the quality was excellent. Thick pieces with no glare. Perfect fit and no false fit. Very fun puzzle to put together.
Thank you! 🤗 I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzle and that you liked the quality of the brand! 😁👌🏻
Hi Janette, thanks for this video. I've always been a Ravensburger fan, so I'm still reluctant to try other brands, since each time I did, I was disappointed in terms of quality, cuts, false fits etc. I think that false fits is the worst thing in puzzles. They should be forbidden 😅
A few weeks ago I did a puzzle from a chinese brand that I had received as a birthday present. The quality was horrible, the pieces were like 1 mm thick and didn't stay together when assembled.
But I know that many brands have improved since my teenage years, and there are also many recent brands that look really interesting.
Now that I've discovered about speedpuzzling, I'll definitely consider trying other brands.
Haha I completely agree with you! False fits should be illegal!! 😂👌🏻
Oh yeah.. there are a few Chinese brands and they're like made out of paper. I exchanged one for Ravensburger puzzle - they didn't warn me about the quality. Never even assembled it 😓
I would advise you to watch some brand review videos - they can be a great way to learn about other brands. From the top of my head, I can tell you that Schmidt and Clementoni are also very good brands and from the US brands I've tried ReMarks, which I absolutely loved, Puzzle Twist - which I also loved, Bluekazoo, which was also briliant and Springbok (the new version), which I didn't like that much 😅 Hope you get to experience some new brands and that you will have good experiences with them! 🤩
Thanks a lot for your advice ! I'll take advantage of the summer to try some of these brands.
Also, thanks for your detailed and kind answers !
It was impressive and also nerve-wracking to watch you moving the four puzzles around on the table They really are a good quality brand. I have to try to find a sale on Schmidt as they are a little pricey here in the US.
Haha sorry!! 😅 I thought about cutting the whole section out, but then I thought why not make you suffer a little bit 🤣🤪 I'm sure they are quite pricey, because they have a long way to go to get to the US. I wish you luck on the sales hunt! 😉
That was interesting to see the differences of the same brand puzzles over the years. Today the quality is, or should be, a great deal better than 20/30 years ago. Don't berate yourself over the Angel Love puzzle. It had a lot of black! Doing lots of white is just as bad. I'm not a fan of tight fitting puzzles as they can be difficult to take apart. Hooray, BOTYP 4 coming up and I was amused to see that it falls on the weekend of my birthday!
I agree with you, but with some brands that is not the case - I think that someone mentioned the cost of puzzle production and wanting to get more profit for less expense. And I think that's why it's also nice to do these videos, because it quickly becomes clear which company works for the best of the customer and which one for themselves 😅🙈 I understand what you mean with tight fitting puzzles and I agree to some degree - it has to be the gold middle, so it still stays together, but it's easy to disassemble 🤩
Nicee!!! I hope you manage to join in the premieres!! And make sure to let us know it's your birthday!! I would wish you now, but I know some people are superstitious about wishing in advance, so I decided to restrain myself 🙈
@@janetteandherpuzzles My birthday is actually on the Sunday. Not sure how the scheduling will work with that. Can't remember who goes first from the point of time zones. I shall be interested to see who the guest puzzler will be. 😊
Yoooo red is your color! No jokes this time. 😉
Thank you! 🙈 The summer is coming, so the bright colours are coming out of the wardrobe 😅
The only Ravensburger I love is about Alice in Wonderland. It’s very colorful and all the characters are fun and makes it a lot easier. There is one place I purchased is at Books a Million in the Auburn mall at Auburn. I got that for my 36th birthday. I still have it in the upstairs living room on a shelf with the other jigsaw puzzles I have. I paid $35 for the Alice in Wonderland. It’s a very expensive and beautiful jigsaw puzzle. My 37th birthday is less than 2 months away. All I want is my sister will let me make my own choices for myself. The cake will be chosen by Nicole (my sister) and how the graphics will be chosen by myself. Keeping going with your jigsaw puzzle adventure. I almost forgot: are you going to the world jigsaw puzzle championship this year? If you are, good luck! Ask Karen to be on her team and partner. I know she will say yes for the competition. Don’t let Alejandro win. He’s way too experienced with jigsaw puzzles. Why oh why?🤔🙄
That's great that you have that puzzle you love! I hope you get a nice new puzzle for your birthday next month! 🤗 And I'm sure the cake will be absolutely delicious! 😋 I am going to the Worlds, but I have my own team of friends that I have met at the competition last year, that we're teaming up 😁 And yes! I agree that Alejandro is way too fast!! He should have his own category 😂😜
@@janetteandherpuzzles good to hear! :) . The cake will be shaped like a cat’s head. I told Nicole to make it into a calico cat pattern. I might spend the day celebrating my 37th birthday with her, my brother in-law + the adult children in which I say my kids. I love them very much and it melts my heart every time I visit
I press like button before see the video ❤
Me too, I can predict I’ll love a Janette video 😀
Awwww how sweet of both of you!! 🥰 Thank you so so much! 🤗
I don’t blame for not finishing the second puzzle. Who in the world thought this would be a good imagine to print on a puzzle ?😅
Hahahah thanks for saying that!! 😂😅 I actually manage to finish it last night, with a help from my boyfriend, so I can finally put it away now 🤣
@@janetteandherpuzzles Boyfriend??? Tell us more!!! hehehe
@@fortheloveofpuzzles hahaha my pairs partner from the last competition 🙈
@@janetteandherpuzzles That Cutie!!! Nice!!!
The Schmidt oldest box looks so much like a Ravensburger puzzle box. Any reason why?
You shouldn’t blame yourself on slowing down. The picture does make a difference and also knowing how the puzzle cut works. I’m sure you spent time worrying about misfits on the corners, where with a puzzle cut your more familiar with you won’t worry.
That's what I was wondering about too! I actually tried to find out if the two companies had any connection to each other, but couldn't find anything online 🤔
I never even though of that! Very interesting 🤔 Could it possibly be, that they are/were using the same box manufacturer?
And yes, it's always more difficult to puzzle with a brand/cut you're not familiar with. So thank you for your kind words! 🥰
I once did a 1,000 piece puzzle that had the entire background in black. Worse that the pieces had the same cut and just could go horizontally or vertically. And even worse than that....lots of false fits.
By the end I just forced the pieces. I couldn´t handle it anymore. It was driving me insane. The puzzle is there waiting to be framed and you can´t tell that the pieces don´t fit.
Oh no, this sounds so bad!! 😬 Sometimes it makes me wonder who designs puzzles like that! Because if you know that the picture is one block of colour, you have to make sure not to have misfits and to have specific cut! I applaud you for even finishing the puzzle - I wouldn't have 😅 But good to know that you can't notice that the pieces don't fit 🤣
