The Giz Wiz Show 1658, January 19th 2017 Independent Show #141 

DateJanuary 18, 2018 CommentPost a Comment

Next month, February 2018, we'll be entering our fourth year of Independent Production! And that's all thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters! If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv/. You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's on that page too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but quite frankly, a bit more support would be a big help. (As we can say honestly, asking for more Patreon supporters is not to make more money, it's to help us lose less money doing The Giz Wiz. Thanks.)

This week and next week it's all about CES 2018!!! And we start, as promised, with a new look at the progress of the Foldimate!

If you don't know about Foldimate, here's a quick  summary. Let's assume you have an automatic washer and dryer. Those two machines do the bulk of the work with dirty clothes. But once you take those clothes out of the dryer you still have to fold them. And folding clothes can be a boring, time-consuming task. That chore can end in the future. The wait is more than a year and a half as of January 2018, but Foldimate will do that boring job for you. You'll have to do a touch of work, but your part is easy. Just clip the out of the dryer shirts, towels, etc., on the machine's pair of hooks. It takes them into the machine, folds them neatly and they exit the machine in a neat pile, ready to be put away. You'll see a simulated demo in the video Chad & I shot at CES 2018. The price given at the show was $980. Not too outrageous if you have lots of clothes to be folded on a daily or weekly basis. But, it's not expected to actally by on sale until fall/winter 2019. That's like another 19 months from CES.
