Best & Worst Kitchen Gadget You Ever Owned?

reddruffns

I have a friend who's kitchen looks like a real life museum for kitchen gadget infomercials but she still isn't a great cook. Is it just her or are most of these things you see on TV just a gimmick ?

Any you can't live without ?

Any you wished you had your money back ?

Answer
The best kitchen gadget I own is the Black&Decker Gizmo, which is a portable mixer. It's like a stand mixer but without the bowl and it's light.

The worst is the Magic Bullet. I was watching TV and then I saw the Magic Bullet and then for some weird reason I bought it. When it arrived I took a look at it and realized that it was just a smaller version of a blender. So I give it to my cousin for her birthday.

What is the neatest fishing gadget(s) that you currently own?

redheat

Mine is a Quarrow Turtle Multitool fishing pocket tool with an flashlight. Bought it for 10 bucks and so far I am impressed that I could carry half of my fishing equipment in a t-shirt pocket

Answer
Red, my gadget is nowhere as useful as the pocket tool you speak of, though I have what I think is a similar unit from Cabelas, and it's quite useful. But I'm gonna focus on the word "neat" in your question. This word does not connote usefulness or trustworthiness or high value. It just means interesting or pleasantly quirky.

My wife and I were sitting on the couch one day last November. She was reading a book and I was reading a fly fishing magazine. I came across an ad for a rather purposeless little gizmo. I am not a connoisseur of gizmos, and in fact I can be rather disdainful of them. I do not need knot-tying gizmos or hook-threading gizmos (I guess I am at an advantage -- I have fingers). Anyhow, I looked at the ad in my magazine and chuckled a little. I don't remember what I said, but it must have been something ambiguous like, "Huh, look at that." My wife looked over and looked at the ad, taking my remark as a sign of interest. A short time later while Christmas shopping for me, she spotted the abovementioned gizmo for sale at the fly shop and bought me one for my stocking.

The gizmo spoken of is as close to useless as you can get. It has never helped me catch a fish (and it never will). It is not worth any of the 10 bucks my wife paid for it. I never asked for it, never really wanted it. But I'm glad I have it and I carry it around, maybe for that reason -- it's not useful, nor mission-critical. It's just kinda... neat.

Just wanted to know if you've noticed google putting the cpc down for adsense on these gadgets.

Answer
"Putting the CPC down ..." -- what exactly do you mean?

There's no gadgets yet where you can declare to the whole world your Adsense stats such as CPC. It's now allowed -- Adsense only allows you to tell the world your earnings but not other metrics such as CPC

But if you are invited to use the beta version of Google Ad Manager https://www.google.com/admanager/login/en_US/index.html -- this tool allows you to set a minimum eCPM that you can accept for Adsense. With this tool, you can weed out lower paying advertisers on your site and make sure your site only shows the advertisers paying well on your site

What's the weirdest gadget you own?

Devili

Answer
A small overpriced elctronic device that for the most part is fairly useless. It is small enough to lose/drop in a drink easily. It costs me alot of money to run, allows people to find me, even when i dont want to be found, and goes out of date every three months. Even if it doesn't go out of date it is guaranteed to break on a regularly basis.

I'd say that gadget was pretty bizarre, who else would be silly enough to buy one?

What are the NEW and COOL gadgets that will be released or that is released in 2008 or upcoming years?

Answer
On Friday, Oct. 24th, Oprah had her newest favorite gadget! It is a dedicated electronic reader called "The Kindle". You can see one at Amazon.com. This reader can download a book in a minute or less and also can play music and has WiFi capabilities if you are in a Sprint Whispernet area. I was so impressed by the design and functions of the "The Kindle" that I ordered one that very day and should be getting it this Thursday. I read a lot and books are so expensive. Amazon.com currently has just over 190,000 books available to down load (and added more daily) for usually less than half the price of either a hardback or paperback book. "The Kindle" can also download newspapers and magazines (minus adds and some syndicated publishings) for much less than you pay at the newsstands. I searched everything I could find about "The Kindle" before ordering mine and I found very few people who didn't like theirs. Even my husband got excited over this new gadget. Never thought I would like to even think about reading something without actually feeling the paper and smelling the ink just as Oprah said she didn't think she would either, but I am willing to give it a thorough testing because it will pay for itself rapidly! This device was marketed at $399.00, but Amazon has it on sale for $359.00 (sorry folks, Friday was the only day for Oprah's $50.00 discount). There are no additional monthly costs other than the books you buy. You can also download books to your computer if you do not get the Sprint Whispernet in your area, which is what I will have to do. However, if I step just a half-hour drive outside my hometown, I could download as many books as I want without my computer. I go out of town a lot so it shouldn't be a problem for me. You can own up to six 'Kindles' per account and share the books among your family. If you loose you Kindle or something happens to a book, Amazon keeps a copy of each and every item you have download and you can download it again for free. Cool, I think! You can change the font size of your text from very small to very large. The screen is made with "E-ink" and unlike plasma or LCD, you can easily see the text while outside, but if you read in bed at night as I do, you will need a lamp or booklight which is no problem to clip on just as an ordinary book. I could tell you more, but you really should check this out, particularly if you are an avid reader, on the go a lot, or even if you just want to share this with a friend. You can also put it in a ziplock bag and take it to the beach or read in the bathtub (which I love to do!). Hope this helped.

If you start to reject the latest electronic or gadget, at what pt do you lose touch & start to fall behind?

Sharon

I know some older people that don't even own & don't even like tv or any other electronic.

Answer
Just because you reject the latest gadget. Some of them are really stupid. Or don't have a use for it, like I don't really have a use for a I-Phone. Doesn't mean you have to fall behind. In fact you should weigh your purchases carefully anyway and decide if your getting the next gadget because you really will use it. Not just to buy it.
You have to realize that there has been such a revolution in the world with technology. It's not that the older people can't really keep up. For most of the adult lives there was either only three channels if they even had a TV. Now we have one in every room with 1000 channels and two computers per household that spews out even more dribble.
Or lives now have become so congested with new technology. When do we as a society decide enough is enough?
It's buy deciding if we really need the next new gadget. Instead of letting the market execs decide for us.

How do I go about building a website to sell my own product?

tbone

It is my own product design, and I want to launch it from my home where I will also create each one per order.
I'd really appreciate any help I could get. Thank You

Answer
It's not too bad but takes a bit of dosh.

Register your domain with a hosting company (like 123-reg to name one out of many) and take out a package which includes Wordpress. Wordpress is a very easy to use (for basic stuff) website builder where you can download free templates with which to build your site.

To that you can add paypal links (there are even Wordpress paypal gadgets you can download) to enable people to pay for what they buy. Once the profit gets rolling, you can pay a proper developer to take on the site to polish it and integrate things better.

Man, if you are selling an item and then creating it to send out yourself, you can't rely fail.. Lets face it, initially, your not exactly talking about creating amazon.com!!!

How does the unboxing the gadgets videos work?

Pradyumna

I want to know the unboxing gadgets videos' business model and how does it work. Specifically want to know, how do the video makers on youtube channels who do the unboxing of gadgets like iphones, lumia, android phones and tablets etc. 1)Procure the gadget?: Where does the initial money to buy the gadgets come from?; 2) How do they monetize it? I don't see ads on many of their videos; 3) What do they do of the gadgets that they have done with reviewing? Sell them probably?;

Answer
Most of them make no money at all for the person posting the video, but if YouTube gets enough extra site traffic as a result then the poster can get a small amount of money.

Most posters buy the gadgets themselves. Many probably sell them a little later to recoup some money to re-spend on their next gadget, but others are simply collectors who are lucky enough to have a high disposable income. Either way, the poster usually loses a bit of money each time, but almost all hobbies cost money.

A very tiny number of posters get so many followers and upload so many videos that they acquire a reputation as gadget blogger. Those people may be actively cultivated by advertisers and publicists to receive loans of new gadgets or sometimes free samples to review.

To summarise: all but a very few spend their own money to produce those videos and do so solely for the pleasure of it and to satisfy their own egos.
