we've had several different kinds of collapsible strainers and funnels. the silicon tends to start splitting at the folds after a few months. We went back to metal and plastic ones
I always figured these types of things would have problems with durability. Anytime you add in complexity and moving parts, it also adds another point of failure. And also cost, probably. And unless you're really short on space, I doubt they're worth it. But I've watched a ton of van life videos, and even those people don't really use these collapsible kitchen things.
@@SobrietyandSolace we have collapsible laundry baskets so no chemicals or heat and after about 6 months the corners start to split. it's just from the silicone being folded and unfolded over and over and over again. it's not so much what's being used on it, just how frequently it's being used and the quality of the silicone
I actually own that scale and love it because it's so compact. You were also correct about it being better to use a more flat-bottomed container, I've had it for a few years and still love it.
The kettle will keep turning itself on as the element cools back down again. It means you can’t just give the water another quick blast to bring it back up to boiling and you also have to remember to switch it off before you leave the house with your morning coffee. It’s a little annoying, definitely had the lid pop open on a slightly aggressive pour, but I still use it every day. All the other collapsible silicon accessories are great as long as the silicon walls are sturdy enough to support their weight. I’ve got them all and a few others and they’re mostly pretty good
Unless you used bottled water for your little silicon kettle, you may always have a lime scale issue. I like the soft silicon sides but also not so sure about how flimsy it can get. And if you need to plug it in it may not be so good for camping... could use a battery. I love the bottle with all the gadgets in it. But I think my favorites are the fold up cutting boards, strainer, and the fold up whisk. I do not have a drawer deep enough to put a regular whisk into. Those cooking utensils have to sit in a crock on the counter top. Some great ideas here.
It’s nice for when you’re going to places that might not have a kettle like hotels and air bnbs. I actually have one and I use it everyday. I’ve had it for months now and even bought one for my mom. So far it’s still holding up 🙂
Re: the scale. You can zero it out, which means you could put a plate on it to create a base for bowls and such, giving you the same surface area to work with as a modern scale using only material you would already be storing on-hand in any living situation... which makes the scale more versatile than if you used it by itself.
I bought one of the folding kettles a few years back for when we are travelling and staying in hotels. During the pandemic, hotels stopped serving coffee in the office in the morning, so having this little gizmo in our bags, along with some tea, coffee and sugar and voila, coffee in the morning. I've had no problems at all with it and would recommend it.
6:00 The reason for that limescale isn’t necessarily because it doesnt stick but it is related. You’ll notice the cup at 5:43 doesn’t have limescale. It’s just that the limescale filter is attached to the lid, so it worked fine for the first cup, but not for the second because it opened and a lot of limescale went through the top with no filter.
I love the collapsible stuff. I bought one of the dish drainers, had it for over a year, and I really like it. Not sure on that kettle due to heat. However the concept works really well on buckets and things that are super handy to have, but rarely used. Love that funnels that collapse, great idea.
The folding whisk and collapsible chopping board/hamster swimming pool I feel to be worth a buy! The other items just seemed 'gimmicky'. Great vid and these were things I knew not of!
I actually have a couple of these things. The kettle, funnel, whisk and strainer. The kettle is my favorite never had issues with the kettle. Works great. I also do periodic maintenance with it by boiling winger when i need to.
The cutting board works good for chopping over the sink, then rinsing and draining. I can spray vinegar on tomatoes or apples, rub it on, then rinse in the basket and drain. The vinegar removes the waxy coating and disinfects the fruit, prolonging shelf life.
I have had the collapsible kettle for two years now and I love it. I never had an issue with the limescale but I use bottled/purified water in it because we have hard water here in California. And answer your question yes the kettle will turn off and on if it is allowed to shut off in the on position and you leave it plugged in I don't know if the base has a sensor on it but I noticed when I used it a couple of times I forgot to empty the water out right away and when I went back and checked on it 30 minutes later it had turned back on I use mine in the bathroom it usually heat the water in less than 5 minutes
I do have the kettle you featured in the first product. It is very lightweight and great for travel. I did not experience any such residue you mentioned. If you keep the kettle switched on, it will keep the water hot till next use. I bought it for travel because many times I experienced kettles at my accommodation is oily on the inside, probably the previous guest used it to cook instant noodles. Overall it is a nifty little gadget 👍 EDIT: Mine is a knob while the video shows a toggle switch.
I think the collapsible board is for washing vegetables after you cut them ,like after you cut a bunch of potatoes you just pop the edge up and add water to remove starches or to wash off dirt from cabbages and such. Sure you can use it for dishes but you have a sink for a reason. Conclusion I think you use it to hold vegetables in water Without using a bowl or using the "dirty" sink
wow I've ever seen most of those anywhere else and they are really interesting ! that foldable whisk can be amazing to clean how many times have I struggled to clean a normal whisk ! that chopping board/washing bowl is perfect to clean dishes when you don't have a lot of space in your sink. Loved the last one too.
You got the same kitchen as us! The same countertops and cupboard doors! Thanks for this. Moving to my own studio apartment soon and this is super useful!
I'm with you on this Dave, I really like them all, but a tad skeptical on the kettle. Oh yeah, we got the "Yes You Can" can opener. We LOVE IT! God Bless & thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
I bought the same kettle for traveling. And as we had a bus tour, I took it with me. And it was a great enjoyment to have evening tea with it! I have a collapsible funnel, and I find it to be on the too small side, but it's still good to own because I don't need a funnel that often, i may even look for a bigger collapsible one. I have a giant collapsible basin (idk, maybe 20 litres volume), and it just sits there snugly beside my washing machine until it's needed; otherwise I'd have no place for a conventional basin, but now I can have this giant tub and it's so beautifully flat when not needed! I do have a collander too, but it's the least necessary of my collapsible items, because I also have all these other collanders and strainers I really like, and they just stack one into another. As long as these items are fully functional and easily washable (which they are), lots of them can be good, especially those which combine being used rarely and taking all the space in cupboards when not used. Kitchenware with combined functions like that basin+board is rarely better than having two items separately. For those which you use daily, less gimmicky seems to be the better, like cutting boards and knives - the simpler is the better. Even with this example of scales: for those who uses them often, a compromise of having flat digital scale might be better. But if your kitchen is truly tiny, the collapsible option may win even with them being abit fiddly.
imagine this, dave is an absolute god, like imagine going "ah !! i have to much gadgets.. and i dont have any speace.. oooh.. im gonna buy more gadgets for my gadgets !" LIKE WHAT??
Where is it made? Does it follow safety regulations? Might be dangerous if it doesn't and contains plastic chemicals that are left in the water after boiling.
nice video, thanks! for 3:30, sliding can be stopped with a damp cloth underneath (which is pretty useful to clean countertops in general) best to do it for all chopping boards, too
Anything he does it’s so much fun to watch his videos are short and simple enough to make you enjoy the video and the videos could help you know if you really should get whatever he’s reviewing overall I really like this channel and I don’t think I could get bored of the videos keep the amazing videos up
How's it going everyone? I'm back! Looking forward to making new content for you. What do you want to see?
First
I would like to see more gadgets for useful or when I am bored
Hello
Yes!! So nice to see you again! Missed your work. Hope all is well!😊
Try gaming gadgets, it would be cool
we've had several different kinds of collapsible strainers and funnels. the silicon tends to start splitting at the folds after a few months. We went back to metal and plastic ones
I always figured these types of things would have problems with durability. Anytime you add in complexity and moving parts, it also adds another point of failure. And also cost, probably. And unless you're really short on space, I doubt they're worth it. But I've watched a ton of van life videos, and even those people don't really use these collapsible kitchen things.
I’ve had a collapsible strainer for 2 years. I imagine it’s using harsh chemicals or not rinsing it right after use is doing it
@@SobrietyandSolace we have collapsible laundry baskets so no chemicals or heat and after about 6 months the corners start to split. it's just from the silicone being folded and unfolded over and over and over again. it's not so much what's being used on it, just how frequently it's being used and the quality of the silicone
We had collapsible measuring cups for years and all good
idk about that, we've had one for like 5 years and its good as new.. used a few times a week
I actually own that scale and love it because it's so compact. You were also correct about it being better to use a more flat-bottomed container, I've had it for a few years and still love it.
We have the blue and green funnels, they are great!!
great job
Do you have to unfold the arms of the scale all the way?
You can put a cardboard and subtract the weight maybe?
Or cut a tiny piece of non slip matting and put it under whatever bowl you’re using on the scales
The kettle will keep turning itself on as the element cools back down again. It means you can’t just give the water another quick blast to bring it back up to boiling and you also have to remember to switch it off before you leave the house with your morning coffee. It’s a little annoying, definitely had the lid pop open on a slightly aggressive pour, but I still use it every day.

That flat whisk is genius
Looks way easier to clean than the standard model

Would really appreciate if u could tell. Which company kettle u were using ?🙂
Welcome back, Dave! The opening was hilarious, almost feels like a callback to all of the kitchen gadgets you reviewed throughout the years.
Haha thanks!
@@DaveHax whats this backround music?

Your dog is the cutest dog in the whole world
Silicone is heat-resistant.
I'm planning to buy ONLY collapsible buckets and stuff like laundry basket in the future
I actually really like that last one tbh!!
I have a silicon kettle, and I love it. Been using it for over a year everyday with no issues. If you want to pour faster, just open the lid.
Whenever I think Dave must be out of kitchen gadgets to show us, he comes back back with more crazy gadgets!!!
Love your videos Dave!
Dave is fuelled by the cheap and unsafe products industry from China.
And posh Joseph and Joseph.
1:08 Dave: "Any idea what this is?".
Me: A "Folding digital kitchen scale".
Both the packaging and the instruction show it xD
That compact fouet is such a clever idea! Normal ones take so much space and are kinda awkward to wash
Old Good TH-cam is back ❤
Respect FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 Dave
This was great. I love collapsible stuff, but have never seen the whisk before, really handy item. Thanks for sharing 😊
Dave be like: Aw man! My gadgets are taking up too much space, I know! We should buy more 😂
Hahaha - Doh!
Lol
The folding whisk and collapsible chopping board/hamster swimming pool I feel to be worth a buy! The other items just seemed 'gimmicky'. Great vid and these were things I knew not of!
lol 😊
Same here
That whisk when uses as a proper whisk seems like a pain to clean for me. Good idea, execution needs work.
I actually have a couple of these things. The kettle, funnel, whisk and strainer. The kettle is my favorite never had issues with the kettle. Works great. I also do periodic maintenance with it by boiling winger when i need to.

Can we all agree that Dave always seems to bring something different every video, mental how he finds them all
No
Yes
#I am a very beautiful bot. CAN WE?
No
I’ve been watching from 2020 - 2023. I’m still a big fan of these videos!
FINALLY A NEW VID
Sorry it's taken so long. I'm back though and there'll be more new stuff soon
@@DaveHax what are those emojis lol
@@ecm2154 what you saying?! There pretty cool huh
@@JackT21 What Are you replying? Pretty weird huh?
@@uhm175 why would you comment on something I said 2 months ago "pretty weird huh"???
Dave is the ONLY CHANNEL ON TH-cam that deserves NO DISLIKES and has NO haters
I find collapsable buckets very handy. Especially if you do not use them constantly.
I remember this guy back in the day loved his videos still do
0:01 perfect start
Really perfect falling utensils.😊
That little kettle would be great for the office!
Finally I was sooooo excited to see a new video of yours. Hope you do more videos like this. I support you. 🤝🤝
Thanks so much. More coming soon...
The last one is genius
Yes FINALLY!!! A new DaveHacks video!

But its plastic how does it not make you cancer?
The "Pretty cool, huh?" always hits different in a positive way. Keep up the good work!
I think the collapsible board is for washing vegetables after you cut them ,like after you cut a bunch of potatoes you just pop the edge up and add water to remove starches or to wash off dirt from cabbages and such.
Sure you can use it for dishes but you have a sink for a reason.
Conclusion
I think you use it to hold vegetables in water
Without using a bowl or using the "dirty" sink
Campers, hikers, rv dwellers find it useful.
5:47 I love that surprised yet calm reaction
wow I've ever seen most of those anywhere else and they are really interesting ! that foldable whisk can be amazing to clean how many times have I struggled to clean a normal whisk ! that chopping board/washing bowl is perfect to clean dishes when you don't have a lot of space in your sink. Loved the last one too.
Thanks so much, glad you liked the video 👍
@@DaveHax as always, amazing quality of video, thank you!
Woah Woah Woah Woah! That's a looooooooot of kitchen gadgets.
I like that folding Choping board.
Cause it can catch liquid on the side while you chop something wet.
Its neat ^~^
I’ll never forget that plate washing gadget. Had me laughing during the worst time of my life. There were some absolute classics in that video. 😊💖
Dave is back with a banger🎉👍 superb gadgets brought to us there and yes "pretty cool" 😎✌️
I helped kickstart a collapsible microwave cover. It's very handy and stores inside the microwave on it's ceiling. My family loves them.
Dave, my husband and I love your videos! Small problem he wants to buy all the items. Furthermore he doesn’t cook! Lol
Hahaha maybe the gadgets will inspire him...
@@DaveHax one can only hope.
The "oh blimey" really got me. I've never would've thought to hear him say that.
Hey Dave! great video! Keep up the good work! thanks for making amazing content for us for 10 years!
It's my pleasure, and thanks for your support.
@@DaveHax no problem!
This is perfect for me because I have a very small kitchen so thanks!
Oooh good to see you back! Can’t wait too watch more of your videos
Thanks! More coming soon...
Hello, I'm Muslim and I love you're videos that are filled with life hacks!

Thanks so much, and you too 👍
I have that foldup scale! It was a good investment!
You got the same kitchen as us! The same countertops and cupboard doors! Thanks for this. Moving to my own studio apartment soon and this is super useful!
Cool
Welcome back Dave! We all missed your content! Hope you’re doing well! ❤
I'm with you on this Dave, I really like them all, but a tad skeptical on the kettle. Oh yeah, we got the "Yes You Can" can opener. We LOVE IT! God Bless & thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻
I really like how he comes up with original ideas, and unlike channels like 5 minute crafts, they are useful!
Who LOVES DaveHax and his gadgets?

Just Subscribed a few hours ago. Guess it was just in time.
Thanks so much for subbing!
I fell in love with these gadgets already!
I’m early to the ultimate return!!
Welcome alone
3:49 for a second I thought the sponge was a $1 bill
A collapsible kettle is really really a bad idea.
No
This guy is the king of gadgets
6:31 yuck I dont want limescale in my milk tea so no
Wow! These gadgets are really interesting. Gotta say, Pretty Cool Huh!
I cannot find a wink
Love the collapse products and space saving gadgets can we have more please😊thanks for sharing 😮
0:01 why everyone says just use a knife
I think the kettle is more suited for outdoor use with bottled water, than indoor use unless you filter the water before using it
Where is it made? Does it follow safety regulations? Might be dangerous if it doesn't and contains plastic chemicals that are left in the water after boiling.
What item are you talking about?
nice video, thanks!
for 3:30, sliding can be stopped with a damp cloth underneath (which is pretty useful to clean countertops in general)
best to do it for all chopping boards, too
First
yes, but, who cares?
These videos always make me exited when I'm scrolling through yourube and it shows ur channel its always great :)
Thank you so much for your time video.
Pouring the coffee was so clean :)
The collapsible kitchen gadgets remind me of collapsing dog bowls
I can’t believe this guy still makes videos!
And I’m happy about that
I like to watch your channel when im bored~ it will always be fun!
Imagine Dave having to clean up the mess of those kitchen gadgets after the intro
I have the collapsible colander and love it, because it made from silicone it can hot a very hot stuff too.
Hey davehax, you were my nostalgia as a kid, im glad youd back
Dave: but if I handle top of it, it's still a bit flexy!
The Kitchen gadchet: *Flexes with flexiness*
Anything he does it’s so much fun to watch his videos are short and simple enough to make you enjoy the video and the videos could help you know if you really should get whatever he’s reviewing overall I really like this channel and I don’t think I could get bored of the videos keep the amazing videos up
You are the only youtuber who makes actual useful life hacks / videos
That whisk would be a dream to clean! Twist it closed again and you can easily wipe clean
Yeah, I really liked that whisk gadget you could even use it as a spatula I’ll take two
