    A Big "Buy" & A Bigger "Don't Buy"

    My pick for "Yes, Buy This"

    To my mind the best gadget I found so far in 2018!

     

    A few weeks ago Chad found the Wyze Cam, an HD WiFi camera that cost $20!! It was amazing. Now the same company introduces Wyze Cam Pan, a 1080p HD pan & tilt smart home camera! You won't miss much viewing this camera output on your smartphone screen. With its 110 degree/sec rotation speed, 360 degree horizontal range, and 93 degree vertical range, Wyze Cam Pan says it delivers 360 degree coverage in under 3 seconds. Turn on pan scan to automatically patrol a room based on up to 4 custom way points. There's also sound detection with alert notifications and free rolling 14-day cloud storage of alert videos, 2-way audio, and a microSD card slot for continuous recording and time lapse. Use the wyze app (iOS and Android) to manage and share multiple cameras. I share my camera with Chad on this show and you'll see the amazing results. It's $30 + $7.99 shipping at the company website, or $37.98 on Amazon which includes' free' shipping from Wyze, but not Prime shipping.

    My pick for "Don't Buy"

    Smart Swab. Here's some of the product description on Amazon: Too much wax in your ears can cause discomfort, impair hearing and cause infections. Cotton swabs and other ear cleaning solutions can be both painful and dangerous! Now, there’s a better way! The Smart Swab is a new and innovative ear cleaner. It is a patented ear wax removal tool which allows you to clean your ears safely and comfortably. You simply insert the flexible tip into the ear canal and twist the handle in the direction of the arrow. The tip is designed to capture excessive wax easily and prevent earwax buildup in the ear canal. After cleaning your ears, you can simply dispose the silicone tip and replace it with a new one.

    And The Giz Wiz take: What a waste of money! They did nothing for me and the reviews are awful! Watch this week's show for more info.
