      They are probably forced to ask for location by the OS permission system. Giving "only" Bluetooth to an app means the app can in theory scan for devices and reverse engineer you location. Thus i.e. Android requires all apps that use Bluetoth to ask for location access.

    Stuff like the quench sea always concerns me, because while it may function properly now, i assume the filters dont last too long. So the questions are how much water can you filter through one set, how do you dispose of it, how they are distributed and how much do they cost.

    For the steam cleaner, I see that as a rentable device. If it costs £140, then rent it out at a tenner a day, people rent it for a day, blitz through the kitchen for the afternoon, return the next day. The customer gets to clean their kitchen for only a tenner rather than having to get an expensive device and the company gets a profit with just 2 weeks worth of rentals. People aren't likely to buy a £140 machine they don't use that often, but a tenner a go they'll likely do it every couple of months or so

    Great episode as always.
    For the steam cleaner, as others have observed, it makes great sense for a small group of households to pitch in together and to share.
    For the desalinator, one possible explanation for the earlier color of the output could be the filter needing conditioning. Anyone who's used a home water filter with a replaceable filter cartridge has experienced, when you first put in a new cartridge, you need to run water through it for a time. This removes any loose particles of the filter's stationary phase (carbon and other compounds). There may also be a need for the filter to become initially "saturated" in order for it work at full capacity.

My son even uses it in his restaurant. You really pay for the strength of the blast and durability. What I appreciate most is that there is no chemicals needed and just leaves a fresh clean smell.

    The water treatment device is interesting, but it's going to share a similar problem that many other water treatment systems run into. I work with table-top steam sterilizers which require distilled water, so water filtration systems are usually involved.
    The problem they have is needing to replace the filters at different intervals, depending on the location of the customer (high altitude with hard water 300ppm+ or some place like the American mid-west where the average is much lower) you can be changing filters once a month or once every 4-6 months.
    I can only imagine that treating literal sea water and untreated water in developing countries is going to burn through that RO system much faster than your typical tap water would. I hope that the cost of the filters has been considered when trying to donate something like this to people that cannot afford it.

      Even the economic benefits are questionable as the unit itself costs £111 and the filters are £51 for 2 and say the RO membranes will last between "6 to 12 months" and produced "up to 1,000 litres of fresh water". There's also the pre-filters which go for £34 for 2 but it doesn't say how long they last (I assume the same 1,000L). As with most water SDG related stuff there is a lot of buzzword bullshit about "state-of-the-art" and "sophisticated hand-operated level and hydraulic system" but when you drill down into it it's not a new technology the "innovative" part is a hand pump but good luck pumping that for an extended period of time.
      So that's £42.50 of consumables per 1000L of water so what 42.5p a litre... that's not exactly that cheap. In an emergency situation it's fine but in an emergency situation there would also likely be cheaper and more effective technologies available as this thing requires sea water.

      They also failed to mention that the point of the steam cleaner was that it replaced the need for disinfectants and chemical cleaners - which is a HUGE deal! While it was marketed as being able to wash dishes it was not a dishwasher but a food-safe chemical free disinfector that can be used on anything that is dishwasher safe or steam cleanable. The deep frying basket was the only good test as it showed it was able to handle really difficult cleaning using only hot water - and somehow in a manner where both of them were not burnt or apparently hurt even when misusing the device to wash a glass bowl very near his face.

Especially with it apparently being safe enough to not burn your face when doing something idiotic like using it to clean a glass bowel while having your face directly over it. A pity your review didn't go into more detail on it's build quality and uses beyond washing dishes because having a handheld food safe disinfector using just water is a product people should be buying - if you included the context of the fact that it replaces the need for disinfectants, oven cleaners, dishwashing liquid, cleaning clothes and time wasted scrubbing while yes...also being able to clean dishes without a dishwasher it would pay for itself - assuming the build quality is good enough.

Selling the unit at a low cost with the hopes of making long term profitable revenue with sales of the proprietary filter is a fairly common business model.

    There are plenty of high pressure steam products on the market that are cheaper and easier to use. I have something that is on wheels and I can use it for the kitchen, bathroom, my car and anywhere else where high pressure steam would work well and that for half the price.

      I have one like that too, the x Vapor by Ariete and it's fantastic to clean all the difficult corners, high and low places you can't reach, with a lot of accessories for a lot of functions and price it was a little more than 100 euros.

    R-O has been around for a long time and works beautifully. Here in the US most of the water-dispensing machines seen at stores are R-O based.

    Great episode. Love seeing new gadgets. Could you use that steam cleaner to clean a non-convection oven?

    Just answering Ben's question about location settings for thermometer app here:
    Before Android 12, it's a requirement in Android for apps using Bluetooth to obtain Location permission.
    I am assuming the thermometer uses Bluetooth to communicate with the app.

    The Dupray steam cleaner is the one to go for, bought mine 5 years ago, does everything the one you tested does (apart from hang on a wall), reaches higher temp and pressure, plus cleans your floors and it also costs less and looks way cooler :)

    Ben is right to be salty about a device wanting your data that it does not and should not need!

    That filter needs to be 💯 shared. That is useful and needed!!

    How Barry said No after Ben said he'd mount generally made me laugh, we need Barry and Ben in more videos more often.

    I can explain the need for location settings
    I'm assuming when you connected via Bluetooth, you didn't actually have to pair the thermometer with the phone like you would a speaker. Whenever an app does that connection for you, it requires location settings. Phones roll that permission in with location settings because it's quite common for them to scan radio signals as an alternative to using GPS. They can then work out where you are by looking up the location of the nearby WiFi networks.
    However, scanning through what's neaeby is also required to find the thermometer hence they ask for permission.

    Regarding that steam cleaner, I would highly recommend just buying a Kärcher steam cleaner. It can do the same and do the floors etc as well for less cost!

    6:22 for lots of reasons. For example, a survey company may come to them and ask for the kind of food most cooked with the app in such and such location. Well they can sell that information.

    To be fair the last one seems pretty useless xD .... you sweat more water pumping the thing than the one you end up with .

    Ben cleaning the glass cup with hot steam gave me great anxiety. I've seen glass break from thermal expansion/contraction, and personally found that glasses can be very fragile while being washed (ie they broke as I picked them up, no dropping or anything required). Is that not a concern in the UK? (I'm American for reference). Or is that just a problem with older glassware (as some of my stuff is)? I clean my glassware with a lot of trepidation...
