Strange gadgets

A chef tester found it too thick, uncomfortable and too slow to harden for 3D shapes.

Used as the comparison for the hover shoes, praised for being easier to carry.

Easily the best 3D pen he has used and surprisingly good, though not thrilling enough for the podium.

Surprisingly fast and fun, but fiddly to build and quickly beaten by more exciting toys.

Infrared hand tracking corrects posture mistakes instantly and adds a lot to the piano.

Powerful, accurate and very fun with loads of accessories, but reloading was unreliable.

Much smaller than the listing suggested, but it is surprisingly quick for ten dollars.

The thousand dollar car wins, mainly on speed.

Lost its race to the $10 car in the opening heat.

Expected to end the contest and won by a wide margin.

Raced the $30 boat, and he said there was no chance for it.

Had a very tight race, with the boat just touching the end first.

Raced after the $100 boat, with no clear verdict on it.

Raced as the supposedly fair opponent, but the result was not funny to him.

Raced against a $20 car, with the car expected to lose and be dunked.

Expected to win but lost its race, which left him disappointed.

The top boat with metal rudders, which ended up neck and neck in a race.

Claimed to reach 30 mph and impressed him with its sheer speed.

The cheapest boat in the test, which wandered off course and was clearly the weakest.

A proper controller, a design that resists flipping and far better responsiveness make it a big step up.

Has LEDs and can drive upside down, but was easily beaten by the next boat up.

The $200 level four water gun can charge a shot and knocked over a lot of cans, which he called insane.

Useless for card games, can't be seen through as a deck, and they are yellowing.

The keyboard-switch mouse sounds exciting but is just a normal click, so it looks stupid and is stupid.
