Who cares what their neighbors think? I know I don't and never will. That's the problem with certain people they don't know how to mind their own business.
I had one of the big lots pocket hose. It lasted me 2 years, we moved it stayed. I left it out year round. I did drain it after each use though. I was actually impressed with it. I live in the east cost. We can get temperatures in the 100s during summer to as low as single digits during winter with wind chills.
I'd say be careful with wish products, because even if they look and work the same you never know what chemicals can pass onto your food from the cheap materials they might use! Love the videos so much man!
Ur childlike enthusiasm on the products u review is extremely entertaining. For example, when u found out there were 2 carrying cases for the glasses. I love it and I hope u never quit!!
I end up wearing sunglasses at night, while I'm driving. My eyes are sensitive to the light, and the bright ass headlights make it difficult for me to see the road and where I'm going. Glasses with yellow lenses tone down the glare.
I thought kink free just meant it won't kink during use the way rubber hoses do. I'd call the big lots one kink proof in terms of practical use. Great vid, as always the honest reviews are appreciated
theodore j agree, kinking doesn’t mean pinching the hose in half to reduce or stop the flow of water through the hose but rather having the hose twist over itself while in use and thus cutting off the water supply.
Big lots. I bought a small greenhouse, it lasted 1 year and disintigrated. I bought a cooking pot with 2 steamer inserts in it to cook more than 1 item. I still use that, 15 yrs later. I bought a kitchen island on wheels, still using that 7 yrs later but the butcher block top not holding up well. I bought a cheap butcher block with cheap knives in it for the block, not the knives. Much to my surprise I continued to use the serrated steak knives that came with the block and they hv held up just as well as my $20 each steak knives...over 15 yrs now. I bought a large floor rug 6 yrs ago. Still looks great.
If Bailey approves of the hose then it's good enough for me 🐶 the glasses are a NO the eaglets a Nope and the lights I agree go with the ones from Biglots. Awesome review as always! Thanks James for all you do and for saving us literally tons of money! Your the best! ❤👏🤗
I *LOVE* my Egglettes! I've been using them for years. It's A LOT EASIER to pop an egg out of an Egglette compared to trying to remove many many pieces of shell of off a hard-boiled egg in a shell. THANKS FREAKIN' REVIEWS!
No the orange sticker just means that's what they had in their pricing gun at the time if it's on clearance it would have a red & white sticker placed over the white Big Lots or the orange one.
Great review James! As a part-time Big Lots employee I can honestly say I thought these were all ASOTV items. I never realized they didn't have the TV logo on them, lol. If you need any Big Lots help let me know. Keep up the awesome reviews!
I find it kinda funny that from a recommended video, this turned to be one of those channels I watch immediately as soon as the videos show up on my feed.
Yes, the egg gadgets are likely made at same place. When companies say counterfeit or knockoff sometimes they are just saying they branded the item first, not lesser quality if manufactured at same place. It's the generic vs namebrand game.
Entertaining comparison review. Happy to see the appearance of Bailey. Love the Corey Hart reference. Hope you do a follow up on the Big Lots lights to see if they continue to out perform.
Only issue I had with mine was the nozzle end it came with did not last long and if left the nozzle end on when you turn the water on the hose would take off and shot around.
Interesting, the clear vision glasses at Menards I looked at did have polarization when I tested using my phone screen. It would be good to test also rotating the glasses 90° as polarization can be at different angles and only work in specific orientations.
I'm too frugal to buy a hose that will only last a summer. I use hoses from Rural King (farm store). I currently have 3. There's always one left out through winter, but they're all out spring through fall. Oldest one I had was 20 years, I replaced it last year. It had a small hole. I coulda fixed it, but the hose served it's purpose. I love these reviews you do. I've even commented more than once to someone in a store contemplating purchasing something you reviewed and they always appreciate me showing them the review. Thanks!
Mr. James Freakin White! Yet another upload that I couldn't click on fast enough! Thanks for putting in that work to make these reviews interesting. Rock on bro 💪🏽
I purchased a 25' Pocket hose in the Spring of 2018 and it still looks brand new. We do drain most of the water after each use, but it does hang on the side of the house where it gets sun for about 10-12 hours/day. We do completely drain it and bring it into the house for the winter. We have used it quite a bit with our power washer for several hours/day with no ill effects or blow-outs. All-in-all I'm very happy with it, I like that it's lightweight and easy to store and that it takes a real effort to kink it. Well worth the $20 I paid for it. Edited to add: We live in NE Ohio.
5:30 polarized sunglasses not always good become you cant see cellphone display when turned or car dashboard when turning head. There are other occupations that require a worker to be able to read certain digital numbers on a liquid crystal display. Polarized lens sometimes can interfere with the visibility of the numbers and should be avoided.
I've used the Big Lots hose here in NJ for a couple of years without incident. I leave it out all summer, drain it after each use, store it in an unheated shed in winter. I think it's worth the price. Bailey is great.
Wouldn't a white hose be better because of heat? I have NEVER had a flex hose survive for morr than a few uses. They are great in theory , but reality says otherwise.....should make the outer part Kevlar.
Besides providing valuable product reviews, you are a consistently funny guy. You're my go to guy for accurate info and an endorphin high. You're the man ;)
I have the Wish version of the Egglettes, they work fine. I do a quick spray of Olive Oil spray, the wipe around the inside of the bowl. The eggs come out fine!
We use a retractable hose and we drain after every use and have a bucket with a lid and they seem to last for about a summer sometimes longer doubt it would last even if brought in. These hoses are just not made to last. They are handy and don't take up much space which is why we continue to use them. I just wish they found a way to make them last longer.
That California cancer thing is one of those funny things. I visited a couple of times and Disneyland had that warning about their park. Starbucks also had a warning in their store. I think businesses do that to protect themselves in response to a state law rather than actually having any significant risk of cancer in their products or locations.
I’ve had this same issue with the pocket hose. It’s a massive flaw with it. In fact, I’ve already returned two and will no longer unscrew the top end anymore as it’s about to crap out. Why they thought putting plastic for a thread was a good idea...is beyond me.
11:35, that reflection you see in the middle of the screen is likely caused by a UV filter on the end of you camera if you are using one. If so I recommend taking it off while filming or taking pics in low light to prevent that from happening. Lesson I've learned.
I think Aldi's (U.S.) also has some of those things too, but they do them on rotating inventory. (Big Lots isn't in my city anymore, even though I remember them being around for about 10 years.)
What a world we live in where a hose that can withstand household water pressure for 15 minutes is considered a net positive and you're expected to toss the hose after one season. I've been using the same Neverkink hose for over 10 years and it works as well as the day I bought it. It takes me a whole 15 to 30 seconds to roll it up in the hose reel when I'm done with it.
The fact that the old Bell and Howell light is all yellowed in the transparent portion suggests that they cheaped out on the plastic, it's not Sunlight/UV resistant.
2:40 I bought those sunglasses just over a year ago from a local discount store named "Ollies" I got them for $7, The box had 2 pairs, so $3.50 a pair, not bad. They were OK. But the little orange nose grips kept falling off. I don't think they made things clearer, however. Just decent cheap sunglasses.
Lots of things produced in China are sold by lots of different brands in the west, sometimes just with some branding stuck on it. Like Beats headphones were at least originally (don't know if this is still the case) just rebadged $6 headphones you could order with any branding you wanted stuck on the side. It can often pay to investigate a little. Quality differences can be a crapshoot, though. Some companies send people to their Chinese production facilities to directly oversee QA, some don't so there can be significant variations from day to day, based on the age of the molds being used and things like that, etc.
I work at biglots and the orange sticker is juts when we didn't have the price tickets with the product so we had to make them. Now for clearance tickets they are also orange but they say clearance on the top.
There's an easier way to check for polarization, just hold them in front of any display, tv or phone screen and rotate them. In polarized glasses the screen will turn really black when you're at about 90°. Also when you're pumping gas the numbers look all weird through polarized glasses.
One hose I'd like to see a test comparison of is Lowes Zero-G hose to the retractable hoses. It's not a retractable hose but it is a fabric type hose that has a lot of claims of what it can/will not do.
I can see it for someone that doesn't have the ability to peel a hard boiled egg. I follow a guy on TikTok that lost his arm in an auto accident, so there is a small market for them.
They do sell solar replacement batteries. I found some on Amazon and Home Depot. Maybe if you replace them batteries on the ones that are weak or not working and see what happens.
You have more sunglasses than my entire family has ever owned, over the past century.
Damn I just realized that
Generation *
What a strange and specific family history study!
Stg
He has eaten more eggs than my entire family has ever cooked, over the entire past century.
One thing I noticed is that no matter how much you watered the solar lights they did not grow.
MrFmiller - they were in direct sunlight under a hot desert sun in poor soil conditions. It's pretty obvious why they didn't grow any.
he forgot to use and review Miracle-Gro
Change their batteries . They all should work
Mine grew just fine, must've done something wrong
THATS CUTE 😍
Bailey is adorable. Love when she's in the videos.
Same, I love when she "bites" the water!
@@jillianburke2 Reminds me of what my dogs do to a sprinkler.
Me too. I love animals but pets are cute no matter how big they are
Bailey is always the star in the videos. You should do a review on dog treats and see what Bailey likes best! ❤️
Bailie don't care. It's a treat.
Steak. Always steak.
I like that that's funny. But, dogs eat pretty much everything
He has before and it didn’t get any views
So she’s gonna tell him which one she likes best? How? Please explain the logistics of that bc I’d really like to know.
Your neighbours must think you are crazy, out watering your lights again! Lol
Right? Haha "Honey, James is watering those lights again..."
😂😂🤣🤣
Who cares what their neighbors think? I know I don't and never will.
That's the problem with certain people they don't know how to mind their own business.
@@45ACP_9mm i dont have neighbors anymore since their houses mysteriously burned down.
*Hey the weirdo next door is watering his lights again.*
They keep 911 on speed dial
Maybe they're grow lights. LOL
He's also doing brief reviews of his pocket hose!
😂
Lol be
Imagine going for a walk, and seeing James watering his solar lights.. 😎
Ice Out 😝😝👏👏 seen walking away muttering ‘crazy neighbors!’
Then watching him drain one hose, attach a second and water then some more
Maybe expecting a street light so sprout?

I live in the east cost. We can get temperatures in the 100s during summer to as low as single digits during winter with wind chills.
I appreciate everything you do, like you really be doing extras to show us every detail and you just keep it real
I'd say be careful with wish products, because even if they look and work the same you never know what chemicals can pass onto your food from the cheap materials they might use! Love the videos so much man!
Human: Reviewing hose
Doggo: E A T W A T E R
You should do a video of as seen on shark tank products.
Ur childlike enthusiasm on the products u review is extremely entertaining. For example, when u found out there were 2 carrying cases for the glasses. I love it and I hope u never quit!!

"What a weird daily routine. Very strange." 🤣
Time to water the lights.
-While watering solar lights* "What a weird daily routine."

I bought a large floor rug 6 yrs ago. Still looks great.
That stylistic side by side view of the sun glasses was brilliant… Well done
I have found if you put a good car wax on the lenses of lights like these, it protects them, better, from UV and keeps them from yellowing.
Good tip thanks!
I have done that with my vehicle headlights as well. So far, no hazing or yellowing and it’s 14 years old!
If Bailey approves of the hose then it's good enough for me 🐶 the glasses are a NO the eaglets a Nope and the lights I agree go with the ones from Biglots. Awesome review as always! Thanks James for all you do and for saving us literally tons of money! Your the best! ❤👏🤗

All im saying, if there is an apocalypse, I'm heading to your house to resupply. You could start a company with your boneyard.
Should start a thrift shop

Your videos are fun to watch. Looks like they're fun to make as well. Subscribed!

No the orange sticker just means that's what they had in their pricing gun at the time if it's on clearance it would have a red & white sticker placed over the white Big Lots or the orange one.
Bailey is what makes your channel stand out keep it up!

"Just coming out here watering a couple of my dead plants and the lights" 😂
Man, that palm tree that was behind you during your very first video is all grown up now.
85% of everything is made in China at the same place just different label
Yep, Kevin (from Shark Tank) would be having a ball right now talking about "proprietary" crap.😂
Yeah its mostly a bunch of china made junk
As hinted at, could come from under the same roof.
Yes, the egg gadgets are likely made at same place. When companies say counterfeit or knockoff sometimes they are just saying they branded the item first, not lesser quality if manufactured at same place. It's the generic vs namebrand game.
Lets make our own thingsss
Entertaining comparison review. Happy to see the appearance of Bailey. Love the Corey Hart reference. Hope you do a follow up on the Big Lots lights to see if they continue to out perform.
Hey James. I really like your down to earth reviews. Keep it up. 👍🏻
Love my pocket hoses. I have 3 50 footers, they have lasted over 4 years. Lightweight and retractable for garage storage after every use.
Only issue I had with mine was the nozzle end it came with did not last long and if left the nozzle end on when you turn the water on the hose would take off and shot around.
I always enjoy your videos. Entertaining and informational! Keep it up!
Another well made video James! Thoroughly enjoyed this one, with the usual great shots and editing!
Interesting, the clear vision glasses at Menards I looked at did have polarization when I tested using my phone screen.
It would be good to test also rotating the glasses 90° as polarization can be at different angles and only work in specific orientations.
I came here to point this out. You can't really tell if they are polarized without rotating them. They maybe just be polarized differently
@@Papaw02, yep.

@3:47, an excellent Fred Sanford impression.
You could get cancer if you wear those glasses in California, but as soon as you cross the border, you should be fine😂

The ad said "You are what you put on your face" YEAH RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA
LOL I love 17:45 - it makes me wonder what your neighbors think. Good thing you have those cement walls for a "fence".
Thanks for another great video. I base a lot of my purchases on your tests. Also, I love Bailey!❤
Great work as always James. Would really love to see a head massager review from standard manual massagers to electric massagers!
We use a retractable hose and we drain after every use and have a bucket with a lid and they seem to last for about a summer sometimes longer doubt it would last even if brought in. These hoses are just not made to last. They are handy and don't take up much space which is why we continue to use them. I just wish they found a way to make them last longer.
Awesome reviews James! By far my favorite YT Channel! Hands down the best reviewer! Keep up the Rad videos 🤘🏻🍻-ZEKE
Bailey is wonderful! Enjoyed her with the hose. Include her in more videos please.
Love these comparison videos. Cheap vs. Expensive is very helpful for normal consumers.
Where has this guy been my whole life, also Bailey is just the cutest

I think businesses do that to protect themselves in response to a state law rather than actually having any significant risk of cancer in their products or locations.
How are the glasses at nite that is why I would buy them. Also, have you checked out the water hoses from HGTV & QVC? I'm so tired of buying hoses.
Mr.Clean seems to be doing well for himself
I’ve had this same issue with the pocket hose. It’s a massive flaw with it. In fact, I’ve already returned two and will no longer unscrew the top end anymore as it’s about to crap out.
Why they thought putting plastic for a thread was a good idea...is beyond me.
Where do you get your round glasses from? thank you

Bailey must love the outdoors and fun in the sun with water involved.
As far as the Sunglasses go. I can not say enough about the HD vision glasses... well worth the 15 bucks..
right when you snapped your fingers my internet went down haha
The white price tickets are corporate made and are included in the product case upon delivery.
The Orange ones are made in store on a label maker
Our Big Lots closed toward the end of last year 😮😢 2023.
2:40 I bought those sunglasses just over a year ago from a local discount store named "Ollies" I got them for $7, The box had 2 pairs, so $3.50 a pair, not bad. They were OK. But the little orange nose grips kept falling off. I don't think they made things clearer, however. Just decent cheap sunglasses.
I love this channel! Always looking forward for the next upload!
I got a menards ad before this. Ooooh, so close!
I feel you about the sunglasses in Vegas man. Those cinder blocks are super bright in the sun.
Lots of things produced in China are sold by lots of different brands in the west, sometimes just with some branding stuck on it. Like Beats headphones were at least originally (don't know if this is still the case) just rebadged $6 headphones you could order with any branding you wanted stuck on the side. It can often pay to investigate a little. Quality differences can be a crapshoot, though. Some companies send people to their Chinese production facilities to directly oversee QA, some don't so there can be significant variations from day to day, based on the age of the molds being used and things like that, etc.
Hey, you got Zoomies! Do you also have the full Body Copper power?
If not, the Auralnauts can help
In California everything has that prop 65 warning(I lived here my whole life). If they could put that prop waring in the sky they would
What does polarized glasses do
I work at biglots and the orange sticker is juts when we didn't have the price tickets with the product so we had to make them. Now for clearance tickets they are also orange but they say clearance on the top.
neighbor: there goes James watering his metal plants.. man that guy is weird
There's an easier way to check for polarization, just hold them in front of any display, tv or phone screen and rotate them. In polarized glasses the screen will turn really black when you're at about 90°. Also when you're pumping gas the numbers look all weird through polarized glasses.
Nice! going for the 80's Thomas Dolby look
SCIENCE!😂
One hose I'd like to see a test comparison of is Lowes Zero-G hose to the retractable hoses. It's not a retractable hose but it is a fabric type hose that has a lot of claims of what it can/will not do.
I really don't see the need for the egg gadjets. Whats wrong with the container the egg comes in!? Lol.
I can see it for someone that doesn't have the ability to peel a hard boiled egg. I follow a guy on TikTok that lost his arm in an auto accident, so there is a small market for them.
Bailey has approved the hoses! 😂
I LOVE your comparisons!!!
They do sell solar replacement batteries. I found some on Amazon and Home Depot. Maybe if you replace them batteries on the ones that are weak or not working and see what happens.
