    The Capresso H20 Glass Water Kettle has a lot of nice features, like Direct Pour. With Direct Pour you fill the kettle with water without having to remove the lid. The weight of the water hitting the lid opens it for easy filling. It closes when you remove the kettle from the running water. Then there's multicolored LED temperature indication lights. There are five presets to choose from: 110° F (green), 160° F (blue), 175° F (yellow), 195° F (purple) and 212° F (red). That gives you the right choice for any type of tea you want to brew, or for other uses such as dissolving yeast for home baking at 110F. The kettle is cordless and designed for right- or left-handed use, with an oversized ergonomic handle. It also offers auto-shutoff, boil dry protection and a micro filter spout. MSRP: $49.99.

    One Finger & Darth Vader Is Toast With This Star Wars Fan Gadget!

    The Uncanny Brands Star Wars Darth Vader Halo Toaster lights-up and makes lightsaber sounds! It was introduced on Star Wars Day, May 4th, 2022. Darth Vader may be one the scariest villain in the universe; but there is nothing scary about his toaster. The ultimate gift for Star Wars fans, Darth (Yeah, I know him well enough to call him Darth) actually does an excellent job with you at the controls.  Simply insert the bread, press the lever, and you will hear Darth Vader’s lightsaber turn on as the bottom of the toaster lights up in red. When the toast is done, you will know when you hear Vader’s iconic breathing. Like toast on the dark side? Use the handy dial to adjust browning. Two wide slots accommodate bagels, English muffins and thick breads. Shade selector dial from light to dark. Bagel and Cancel buttons. Removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. BPA-free. MSRP: $70

    Love Using A Food Processor, But Hate Cleaning It?

    Protor Silex says “Users Hate Cleaning It After Use!” So they are introducing the Proctor Silex Quick Clean Food Processor. The secret to cleaning up the mess left after a meal is the innovative Quick Clean cycle to easily clean the bowl, blades and lid. Simply place the chopping blade in the bowl, add water, insert the patent-pending agitator disc with dish soap, lock on the lid and press Clean. After the cycle completes, a quick rinse with water finishes the job. For making a meal, you can precisely control food texture with the infinitely variable speed dial. Go from 500 to 2,500 rpms or use pulse for quick bursts of power. The 450-watt DC motor is powerful enough to handle your processing tasks with ease. There's also a nine-cup leak proof bowl, 2-in-1 feed chute, stainless-steel chopping blade and the reversible disc. And I like that you can store all the included accessories in the bowl to keep things neat on the counter or in the kitchen cabinet. The Proctor Silex Quick Clean Food Processor - Model 70810 has a MSRP: $89.99.

    Will Ganss & I Show Some Useful, But Inexpensive Back To School Gadgets!

    Once the show airs and moves over to abcnews.com I'll post a link to our spot here.

    Here's a backpack that can expand by about 20% if you need more room for more stuff!

    The Matein Backpack with a lot of features, but not much money. Need more space for stuff? It's expandable from 29.5L to 36.8L by opening a zipper. There's a padded compartment for a laptop, Chromebook, MacBook up to 15.6”. 17 difference pockets for everything you need to carry. Even a key fob hook. Two side elastic net pockets for umbrella and water bottle. The luggage strap allows the backpack to be placed on a rolling suitcase handle to free your hands and back. But wait, there's more! With the built in USB charging cable port you have a more convenient way to charge things. The Anti Theft hidden pocket on the back, can protect your valuable items from being stolen while you're wearing it. When I bought mine it was $30, but demand seems to be driving the price up a bit. 8/8/22 it was $34.00, which I think is still an amazingly low price considering all the features.
