Mighty, mini, manual food chopper/spinner saves room in your kitchen

NEWS – Need some help chopping and mixing when cooking, but you don’t have a lot of space in your kitchen for a food processor and a salad spinner?  The Speedwing Manual Food Chopper can chop, mix, and spin its way through food prep while using less than 6 inches of counter space.

The chopper container is made of SAN plastic, while the accessories are PP plastic, and the blades are made of stainless steel.  No power is needed; the chopper is operated by a pull cord.  Use the blades to chop up veggies or the stirring insert to mix up dressings, dips, or guacamole.  A basket insert is for spinning herbs or salad greens.  Snap on the included lid to store your mixes in the fridge.

The container measures 5″ tall X 5.5″ in diameter and is graduated in millimeters, cups, and fluid ounces for easy measurement.  Total capacity of the container is 33.8 ounces; filling volume is 27 ounces.  All pieces, except for the lid with pull cord, are dishwasher-safe.

The Speedwing Manual Food Chopper is $49.95 at The Grommet.

Royole beats Samsung by introducing the first folding device

NEWS – I just found this little bit of unexpected but very exciting news in my inbox from Royole who have just introduced the Flexpai. The Flexpai is the first foldable smartphone with a flexible 7.8 inch display powered by Water OS. We’ve been hearing and reading a lot about this new tech, but the news has been coming from Samsung. Cheers to Royole for beating them to the punch with what looks like an interesting device.

The FlexPai’s screen is one complete, fully flexible display with light, thin, colorful, and bendable features. When unfolded, FlexPai supports split-screen mode and multi-tasking, drag-and-drop across applications, and much more. When folded, FlexPai can support dual screens with separate, simultaneous operations. The interface on the primary and secondary screens can mutually interact with each other, or independently use different interfaces without interfering with one another.

Royole announced that a developer model of the FlexPai smartphone will be available to order globally beginning at 7:00pm PT today from the company’s website. A consumer model will be available at the same time to Chinese consumers. I couldn’t find pricing info but order fulfillment will start in late December, 2018. For more info and a full spec list, please visit: www.royole.com/flexpai

The Lofree QTV Wireless Speaker is designed like a cute palm-sized retro TV

NEWS – The Lofree QTV Wireless Speaker is a 5W 40mm Bluetooth 4.0 speaker designed just like a tiny retro TV. It’s a speaker. It’s an alarm clock. It’s a timer. It’s cool! This cute speaker was reviewed at CNET and according to Mr. Broida, the speaker only shows 24-hour time and the screen goes dark after a certain duration to preserve the battery, but it sounds pretty good for its size and has two customizable alarms which allow you to record a snippet of music or your voice to play when the alarm goes off. It looks like you can use the antenna to silence the alarm and the top dial to adjust the volume (when music is playing) or set the clock, alarm, or time.

The speaker fits in your hand and will play for about five hours on one charge. And according to a couple of people who have reviewed it on Amazon, the body is made of metal. It comes in Aestival Blue, Scarlet Red, Peppermint Green, and Vernal White and is quite expensive if you are purchasing it from Amazon or Lofree ($119) but you might be able to find it elsewhere cheaper. What an interesting and unique twist on a Bluetooth speaker!

Don’t settle for a utilitarian bike rack. Get one that looks as good as it performs!

NEWS – You need to carry more stuff for your bike commute than you can support on your back, so you need a rack for your bicycle.  While you need it to be strong and useful, you don’t want it to look clunky on your sleek bike.  Check out the Portland Design Works Everyday Rack.  It’s made of durable alloy tubing, may be mounted to a rear wheel skewer, and includes a tail light mounting point and solid, adjustable attachment arms.

The deck is made of double-ply bamboo; it measures 8.25″ x 3″.  The rack is 16.5″ tall.  It’s rated for 55 pounds of cargo.  PDW says: “The lower mounting bars allow panniers’ center of gravity to be closer in line with your wheel, improving rear-end stability even when hauling heavy loads. Additionally, it means the platform is easily utilized, even when riding with two panniers.”

The Everyday Rack is $99.00 at Portland Design Works.  You can also find it at Amazon for only $80.00.

Resistance is futile! You will be assimilated by this Borg cube!

NEWS – I’ve reviewed a couple of accent lights similar to this Star Trek Giant Borg Cube Mood Light, but I’ve never tried one this large nor one from the Star Trek universe.  The Borg mood light is officially-licensed Star Trek: The Next Generation merchandise.  The polyethylene cube is 15.5″ on a side.  It supports up to 190 pounds, so you can use it as a chair, or as a footstool, a table, or simply as accent lighting.  It’s safe for use indoors or outdoors in dry conditions.Its internal 2200mAh lithium battery recharges with the included 6 ft. 110V AC power cord (US) and provides up to 8 hours of light at the low setting.  It operates in four modes:  flash, strobe, fade, and smooth.  You select from 16 colors and brightness levels using the included remote.

The Star Trek Giant Borg Cube Mood Light is $149.99 – and remember, this isn’t just a light; it’s furniture, too!  It’s available at ThinkGeek.
