Chad's Crappy Corner and another "moving" gadget!

Chad’s Theme for May is gadgets you’ll need when you move, or in this case, a gadget you’ll need when you move in. Chad’s gadget for this week is The Simple Human10 Litre Profile Step Can. Here’s what Simple Human says about it:    

Our Simple Human10 Litre Profile Step Can has a slim profile shape that makes it a great fit in a bathroom or under a desk. It has a durable steel pedal that is designed to last, and our patented lid shox technology ensures a smooth, silent close every time. Although it has a removable inner bucket that is grocery bag compatible, our code R custom fit liner fits this can perfectly — no bunching or slipping for a cleaner trash experience. It's $40 at the company website in stainless steel, with a stainless lid. 

And Chad’s take? Chad loves this step can! He said lid works well and the custom fitted bags make it a breeze to empty. Watch the video to see how clever this gadget is, especially a built-in inner step that helps you when you empty or install a new trash bag. Chad preferred the stainless model with the plastic lid, which is $10 cheaper than the all-stainless model. (Model CW1898)

Back to Dick’s Gadget Warehouse

 

Our viewer video is about his favorite gadget. But it is eligible to be in the warehouse, because it’s over 40 years old! Yet, as you’ll see in the video, it’s still very much in use!

It's one of our favorite kitchen gadgets:

                  ***********************

 

We’re looking for more Viewer Videos! We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so let’s go going! You’ll get an autographed copy of MAD Magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture if we show your video, and who knows, maybe you’ll be discovered by a YouTube Talent Agent! 

Here’s what we’re looking for: Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:  

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.   

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.  

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.   

My Favorite Gadget of All Time: Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.   

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll a tiny amount of fame (hopefully), an autographed MAD magazine and a 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture. So that's one more (so-so) reason to send in your video!   

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv (NOTICE! This is a new email address!)

BIG CHANGE NEXT SHOW!!!!!
