Big Lots vs As Seen on TV: 4 Items Compared!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here is a comparison of four items found in the Big Lots "As Seen on TV" aisle against their official As Seen on TV counterparts. Which will come out on top? These items may or may not be available at retailers other than Big Lots, but that is where I found them.

I end up wearing sunglasses at night, while I'm driving. My eyes are sensitive to the light, and the bright ass headlights make it difficult for me to see the road and where I'm going. Glasses with yellow lenses tone down the glare.
I had one of the big lots pocket hose. It lasted me 2 years, we moved it stayed. I left it out year round. I did drain it after each use though. I was actually impressed with it. I live in the east cost. We can get temperatures in the 100s during summer to as low as single digits during winter with wind chills.

Big lots. I bought a small greenhouse, it lasted 1 year and disintigrated. I bought a cooking pot with 2 steamer inserts in it to cook more than 1 item. I still use that, 15 yrs later. I bought a kitchen island on wheels, still using that 7 yrs later but the butcher block top not holding up well. I bought a cheap butcher block with cheap knives in it for the block, not the knives. Much to my surprise I continued to use the serrated steak knives that came with the block and they hv held up just as well as my $20 each steak knives...over 15 yrs now. I bought a large floor rug 6 yrs ago. Still looks great.
I'd say be careful with wish products, because even if they look and work the same you never know what chemicals can pass onto your food from the cheap materials they might use! Love the videos so much man!

I have found if you put a good car wax on the lenses of lights like these, it protects them, better, from UV and keeps them from yellowing.

I thought kink free just meant it won't kink during use the way rubber hoses do. I'd call the big lots one kink proof in terms of practical use. Great vid, as always the honest reviews are appreciated
@Paolo1

theodore j agree, kinking doesn’t mean pinching the hose in half to reduce or stop the flow of water through the hose but rather having the hose twist over itself while in use and thus cutting off the water supply.

I’ve watched about80% of you videos and I use your reviews in my purchases
If Bailey approves of the hose then it's good enough for me 🐶 the glasses are a NO the eaglets a Nope and the lights I agree go with the ones from Biglots. Awesome review as always! Thanks James for all you do and for saving us literally tons of money! Your the best! ❤👏🤗

Yes, the egg gadgets are likely made at same place. When companies say counterfeit or knockoff sometimes they are just saying they branded the item first, not lesser quality if manufactured at same place. It's the generic vs namebrand game.

I'm too frugal to buy a hose that will only last a summer. I use hoses from Rural King (farm store). I currently have 3. There's always one left out through winter, but they're all out spring through fall. Oldest one I had was 20 years, I replaced it last year. It had a small hole. I coulda fixed it, but the hose served it's purpose. I love these reviews you do. I've even commented more than once to someone in a store contemplating purchasing something you reviewed and they always appreciate me showing them the review. Thanks!
Thank you for the video! Super entertaining man. Bailey is such a happy and healthy dog.
I love this channel! Always looking forward for the next upload!
I would be interested in seeing if the big lots glasses help to reduce night glare.
Entertaining comparison review. Happy to see the appearance of Bailey. Love the Corey Hart reference. Hope you do a follow up on the Big Lots lights to see if they continue to out perform.

Only issue I had with mine was the nozzle end it came with did not last long and if left the nozzle end on when you turn the water on the hose would take off and shot around.

I have the Wish version of the Egglettes, they work fine. I do a quick spray of Olive Oil spray, the wipe around the inside of the bowl. The eggs come out fine!
Thank you so much. Please test dog toys With Bailey
That California cancer thing is one of those funny things. I visited a couple of times and Disneyland had that warning about their park. Starbucks also had a warning in their store. I think businesses do that to protect themselves in response to a state law rather than actually having any significant risk of cancer in their products or locations.
right when you snapped your fingers my internet went down haha
Besides providing valuable product reviews, you are a consistently funny guy. You're my go to guy for accurate info and an endorphin high. You're the man ;)
Forgot, thanks for another excellent video on product comparison.
Great review James! As a part-time Big Lots employee I can honestly say I thought these were all ASOTV items. I never realized they didn't have the TV logo on them, lol. If you need any Big Lots help let me know. Keep up the awesome reviews!
Wouldn't a white hose be better because of heat? I have NEVER had a flex hose survive for morr than a few uses. They are great in theory , but reality says otherwise.....should make the outer part Kevlar.
The dog is so cute !! Naturally photo ready !
I’ve had this same issue with the pocket hose. It’s a massive flaw with it. In fact, I’ve already returned two and will no longer unscrew the top end anymore as it’s about to crap out. Why they thought putting plastic for a thread was a good idea...is beyond me.
I purchased a 25' Pocket hose in the Spring of 2018 and it still looks brand new. We do drain most of the water after each use, but it does hang on the side of the house where it gets sun for about 10-12 hours/day. We do completely drain it and bring it into the house for the winter. We have used it quite a bit with our power washer for several hours/day with no ill effects or blow-outs. All-in-all I'm very happy with it, I like that it's lightweight and easy to store and that it takes a real effort to kink it. Well worth the $20 I paid for it. Edited to add: We live in NE Ohio.
Very cool review. Tyfs!
Awesome, I didn't know this about the hoses. I will need to change them.
The ad said "You are what you put on your face" YEAH RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA
Love these comparison videos. Cheap vs. Expensive is very helpful for normal consumers.
I've used the Big Lots hose here in NJ for a couple of years without incident. I leave it out all summer, drain it after each use, store it in an unheated shed in winter. I think it's worth the price. Bailey is great.
I got a menards ad before this. Ooooh, so close!
Awesome reviews James! By far my favorite YT Channel! Hands down the best reviewer! Keep up the Rad videos 🤘🏻🍻-ZEKE

Hey cool demo's...lucky to have someone like you sacrificing your time for us.
The fact that the old Bell and Howell light is all yellowed in the transparent portion suggests that they cheaped out on the plastic, it's not Sunlight/UV resistant.
We use a retractable hose and we drain after every use and have a bucket with a lid and they seem to last for about a summer sometimes longer doubt it would last even if brought in. These hoses are just not made to last. They are handy and don't take up much space which is why we continue to use them. I just wish they found a way to make them last longer.
Fun watching Bailey and the water.😍
Bailey is wonderful! Enjoyed her with the hose. Include her in more videos please.
I seen those same clear vision glasses sold at Menards for $10.
I love your cinder block "fence"!
I feel you about the sunglasses in Vegas man. Those cinder blocks are super bright in the sun.
What a world we live in where a hose that can withstand household water pressure for 15 minutes is considered a net positive and you're expected to toss the hose after one season. I've been using the same Neverkink hose for over 10 years and it works as well as the day I bought it. It takes me a whole 15 to 30 seconds to roll it up in the hose reel when I'm done with it.
Great work as always James. Would really love to see a head massager review from standard manual massagers to electric massagers!
Always like when tv shows have crossover episodes. Disc lights and hoses. Nice.
The white price tickets are corporate made and are included in the product case upon delivery. The Orange ones are made in store on a label maker
I used to work at a company that makes those "egg thingies," they cost about 14 cents to make each.
Damn it boy! You review King! Thank you!!!
In Florida with sunglasses the important thing is the UV rating. If they do not block UV but your eyes dilate due to the tint, well now you are really harming your eyes because you are letting in more UV than if you wore no glasses at all.
Bailey must love the outdoors and fun in the sun with water involved.
One hose I'd like to see a test comparison of is Lowes Zero-G hose to the retractable hoses. It's not a retractable hose but it is a fabric type hose that has a lot of claims of what it can/will not do.
Bailey has approved the hoses! 😂
You should best as seen on tv sunglass organizers and holders. Btw: Polarized isn't always the best option, sometimes like driving or cycling it might be even bad option. Polarizing might make seeing puddles etc. harder.
So glad to hear this, I almost wasted my money on the Big Lots glasses. Trying to find some for cheap driving glasses
