2. 18:00 I think it needs some engines that do all the spinning for us, while we just spin a lever at the side much lesser times

3. Wait the carrot one actually worked. Most chefs cut the ends off their carrot and even if they didnt they def wouldnt mind going over that end bit

4. Has he reviewed the slapchop yet?

5. As soon as he grabs his oil I say ‘’oh no’’!

6. For the spiralizer my advise is, cordless drill. Just does all the work and you can do it pretty quick

7. It does surprise me the lack of consideration regards usability and effectiveness with some of these products. I don’t know if it is to keep up profit margins by avoiding any excessive costs in the manufacturing process or simply poor design.

8. 8:00 ???

9. What kind of user has a highly oily left hand ?

10. 5 Items banned from modern warfare

11. These product designers all seem to hate using knives

12. none of the products you ever review claim to be slip proof so you just look dumb putting oil on your hand

13. Spiral thing could be improved with a ratchet wrench mechanism and long handle. Or an electric drill

14. we actually have the garlic rolling cutter thingy, bought it as a gift for my mom and worked kinda well for some bits and pieces of garlic that were prechopped to be smaller, maybe why my mother preferred cutting garlics normally
    we used it a few times but eventually thought using a knife was better and got lazy trying to clean the crevices of the thing ?

15. Just cut off the end of the carrot it’s not peeled you could make a whole crap ton of soup this way

16. the oil on the hand doesn't make ANY sense, FFS just wash your hands!

17. 13:55 I use two Tupperware lids

18. The carrot peeler… i cant believe he didn’t find it an issue tha it is used fixed on the table with the carrot going to the floor ?

19. chop a half onion takes max 15-20 sec, 5-10 when u pro

20. 15:40 you can put the veggie on a drill and use a drill

21. Do hot dogs gadgets include the Coca-Cola toaster And the steamer 2?

22. The Spiralizer would work great with a power drill.

23. Needed a left forearm oil test

24. 9:09 OMG I just died at this part ?

25. Why not just cut the tips of the carrots

26. Actually if you want to dice the onion the answer is to redesign the onion. Use a knife and cut it into a couple of pieces.

27. Why the hell do people peel carrots???

28. This show is great except it needs at least two more categories to judge the gadgets, 1: How easy is it to clean the product? and 2: how practical is the product. I often find this guy judging a products practicality when he is supposed to be judging usability. For example the carrot peeler seemed extremely easy to use yet he gave it a 2 out of 5 because the product didn’t seem practical. This is why I think practicality warrants its own category so it doesn’t interfere with his ability to judge other categories. Also the product usually isn’t worth buying if it is hard to clean, thus justifying the need for another category covering this practice. I usually don’t write long comments but I genuinely like this show and hope that it can make its ratings more accurate. 🙂

29. I have had a different brand of vegetable chopper for years and I absolutely love it! It really does help if you cut the onion (or whatever veggie) into smaller pieces, and it still makes veggie chopping WAY faster!

    For onions, I cut halves into 3rds or quarters. Potatoes get sliced, so they end up roughly cube shaped. And bell peppers get sliced as well because I don't like huge pieces of pepper in my food.

    Absolutely recommend this device, despite Dan's dislike. 😛 (particularly if you don't have quick knife skills, like me ? )

30. I remember we had a full vegetable chopper growing up. It was a fun challenge for all the kids to try to chop it because the chopper was so hard to use.

31. EYY

32. "…and carrot on the floor". Didn´t even think of that. Hilarious!

33. Fun fact: Bugs Bunny invented the carrot peeler.

34. Squeeze this down and start spiraling is how I live my life

35. how he fuck*d up the dicer tool with not speedforceing it only with weight aplying and thats after 40 years or so of designing gadgets

36. i have that vegetable chopper! it does take a bit of effort but it's great for tomatoes if we need to dice a lot. it's also very easily washable, and surprisingly its never broken.

    yeah it's not the best but if you're terrible at dicing like i am, or if you need to dice a lot of tomatoes, it's pretty alright.

37. is the audio only in the left ear or is it just my headphones

38. Forget your gym class, go vegetable cutting

39. He needs to learn how to dice onions with a knife properly ?

40. The people who made these products ???

41. 11:20 I have one of those and I have to slam my fist down on top to get it to chop and cleanup is a pain. Needless to say I don't use it anymore

42. Ah YeS. i WiLl tAkE tHe BlAdE oUt, AnD gIvE tHe BlAdE tO tHe KiDs :))))

43. Someone’s daughter : let’s netflix and chill ?

    Someone’s son : 8:00

44. the garlic chopper is one of the most stupid thing I've ever seen.

45. Boi

46. Where can you get carrot peeler??

47. "not sure if I want to bodyslam every vegetable" XD

48. 9:10 he shouldve put the onion on the other way around so that the blades have less surface area to cut at the beginning

49. So I heard you liked tables. So we put a table on top of your table.

50. in the Netherlands (and prob Belgium and other fries countries) we have something called Frietensnijder, copy and paste that into google. it's like the dicer thing, same blades but longer handle for the pressure, usually made of steel or aluminium a metal of sorts, not sure , but some are also plastic. even with the longer handle you need a lot of strength and people with reuma or arthritis don't have that. the carrot peeler might work better on the bigger (winter) carrots but most of these gadgets are just superflous, more washing up. I think for a realistic comparison, the attaching to the countertop needs to be included in the time , cos then it wouldn't win 😉 I watched a few and won't be buying anything except the moving mandolin, but I saw many brands and I'm guessing the price varies because of the quality and sharpness of the knives. might be cool to see a few of them in one video: same thing different brand and price, different outcome?
