Anything built specifically for a store brand, especially to meet a low price point is going to have some serious feature removal.

The most interesting thing I found in 5 mins in my lunch break was a nail drill.  For finger nails...  Not sure it's a torture device but sounds like it should be.

The rest is cheap stuff that seems to be 'reduced' because no-one wants it.  Searching anything useful seems to ignore the 'search in prime day' and just returns full price stuff.

Do it!

I won a Kaloric air fryer at an arcade earlier this year, and it's great. My only recommendation is to get one whose volume is greater than 2 quarts. Mine is 1.75 quarts, and it's just big enough for one serving of french fries, so, if I'm cooking for more than just myself, it's not very useful.

I can't speak to its effectiveness at cooking non-potato foods though. I tried cooking a steak in it once, and it didn't turn out great.

Fingertips no, the strings are basically the same.  The neck is smaller so if you were straining your hand to reach that would be better (answer based on about 10 minutes experience 10 years ago :blank:)

i refreshed my TV and sized down a little. got a 50 inch hisense h8g. the price is actually nothing special but they're offering returns until jan 31st so i'm hoping if i see anything better this holiday season then i'll just swap TV's. coincidentally i ran into a great TV that i'd love to buy in the future but can't just yet justify -- the hisense h9g. it's 120Hz and ticks all the boxes for me on the TV, but the only problem is that I just can't push the main game I play, warzone, at 4k 120fps. seems like the stock on the h9g isn't great and the places that have been stocking them have jacked up the price. found this link for one at $650, unsure about the return policy so beware https://www.brandsmartusa.com/hisense/244554/55-class-4k-uled-h9g-quantum-series-android-smart-tv.htm

No,instigate the battle, run away, when everyone's dead, you come back and take all their stuff.
