THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the vlog, and welcome back to my bathroom. We... we've been in here a few times too many, I think. But is your handle on your PVC window broken?  

Is it... does it just not move? Is it not working, even if you press the button in? The handle on the PVC window doesn't open? I think I've got a solution for this. I'm going to do this for the first time in real time so you can follow along with me. We try new things every day to make your family happy, and the thing I'm trying today to make my family happy is to... is to open the crucial bathroom window because Daddy... Daddy might change the smell in here from time to time, and if they can't let it out the window, I... I think we will have breathing difficulties.  

Come on, Cohagen! You got what you want!  

Give these people AIR!  

I... I've tried WD40. It doesn't work. Uh, basically, you push the button in, and for some reason, the catch doesn't... doesn't turn. And I know that it's not locked, because the button does go in and out, and it... you can lock it, and the button doesn't move.  

Let me show you how this handle works when it works.  

Let's go to my son's bedroom, and this will help you to do this technique that I'm about to show you.  

But here we have... obviously, the handle is on a different orientation, but if I press the button and open it, it opens. And can you see inside? There is that catch there.  

So when it's working, you push the button in, and the catch releases, and that catch sits inside this kind of square metal block here.  

So when you close the window, the catch lifts itself up because it's got that kind of, uh, slide on it, and that's going to be crucial for our technique.  

And then when you close it, it should click into place, and the click is the... the plastic button sitting in that metal kind of window.  

That's... that metal bed. So if I press the button again, obviously, it opens.  

So what we need to do is to get something inside that to lift that plastic catch.  

Now, what I'm going to use is my Post Office travel money card, which was really good—it really works!  

You can just load it up with money, but we're going to try it for this.  

Now, I did try it with cardboard because I thought the gap would be too thin.  

But a... a... a credit card or piece of plastic should be able to get in.  

What we're going to do—can I get in closer?—so I'll try and get you as close as possible.  

I'm going to slide the corner all... all the way in so that hopefully it pushes the catch up.  

And obviously, you need to make it all the way through the... the... the handle.  

And now you can just turn the handle! Ta-daa!  

My family can breathe again!  

Give these people AIR!  

But now what we've got to do is replace the handle because obviously, if you click it... oh no!  

We're going to push this open again like that—open it goes. We're going to...  

Sorry, I'm just straddling the... the nice bamboo shelf in the bath.  

We are going to pry off this cap with a very sharp flathead screwdriver, and underneath—hopefully that hasn't fallen down the... the plug hole—but underneath you have a... a screw there and a screw there, which obviously you can't get to if the handle is... is locked.  

So use the card to open it, and then we're going to unscrew these two screws.  

This might be one step beyond your DIY, but bear with me, I think this is going to be straightforward and easy.  

We're going to undo... I've got my, uh, my trusty Ikea screwdriver as well, and we're going to take out these two screws, and it should just pull out like this. So there's the spindle in there that turns the lock in there—oh—yeah, obviously, I should... I should probably have opened the window first thing on it.  

I didn't want to lose the screws out of the window.  

You can open the window.  

Now I'm going to look online on Amazon to see if I can find a new PVC window handle.  

It is now one day later, and finally, my PVC window handle has arrived from Amazon.  

I'll leave a link down in the description for a search to get you to the same kind of handles.  

You can also get these in DIY superstores. I'm just being lazy, but you can get these in pairs or in greater numbers, so you might get a better deal. I've gone for two because I'm pretty sure this is going to happen again sometime.  

This is the old handle, and this is the new handle, and can you see? The... I have to move my face. Can you see that the... the spindle size is different? So what I'm going to do, I think, is see if I can take this out. Oh, you can't—you can't take it out. Oh no. I am really hoping that this works and that this isn't too long for the hole. By the way, if your handle is broken and you've got the handle off and you still can't unlock the window, you can use this section here to turn the lock that's actually inside the window.  

Let's use the old one to close the window, just pull it to.  

Fingers crossed. I'll bring the camera closer now, we'll see if this will actually fit and if it'll actually work. So I'm going to put that square peg into the round hole...  

But there is a square hole in there, and... oh, only just, only just. You can see that there's a bit of a gap. Don't know what I'm going to do about that.  

I have tried with some pliers, and I cannot get this to budge at all. It just won't come out. You are going to have to find a hacksaw to... to bring down that length.  

Ah, it's... it's never easy! Do I... do I... do I bother?  

Do I bother?  

Let's just do it for the video.  

I'm going to mark roughly the length of the other one onto the new one. I think it's only a little bit over, so I don't actually have to take that much off. I am just using a junior hacksaw for this.  

And I hate sawing metal—partly because it's so hard and takes a long time, but also because these metal shavings that come off, the splinters aren't great to have on the floor while we walk around with no shoes on.  

This takes a lot of work.  

I... I've sped this up. I started off with bits of wood between the clamp and the handle to protect the white coating on the handle, and then in the end, it was so much faff, I gave up and just put the clamp on directly just to hold it in place so I could get maximum sawing in.  

In the end, I have to use some pliers to snap it off. Hey, got it! So now it should be the right size.  

Back in the bathroom, and pretty much for the same reason... for the same reason, the new handle comes with new screws, but they're longer, so I don't want to chance it.  

I'm going to use the old screws to put the new handle in place, and we'll put the square peg into the square hole inside there—that's the actual lock.  

And you can see now that the handle is now flush with the window.  

Kind of worth the sawing!  

And now I'll put the old screw in, and then I can open it—oh no, no! You're kidding me. You are kidding me. Oh, look...  

Okay, I thought I'd broken it, so I've put it on the wrong way. Now I can open it, yes! [Music]  

And finally, you can cover up the screws with these caps.  

Let's try this again. We'll test it—window opens, window closes, handle locks.  

I'm calling this a Dad Delivers success!

How to clean a Meaco dehumidifier filter! Arete One and Two

If you have the MeacoDry Arete One 18L dehumidifier and Air Purifier, there's no need to buy a new filter yet! Here's how to clean the Meaco dehumidifier filter using just a vacuum cleaner! (I'm using the Miele CX1 cleaner). This seems also very similar to the 15L, 20L and 25L dehumidifiers. It's easy to clean, so here are my step-by-step instructions!

How to clean a Meaco dehumidifier filter!



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. What happens to the filter on a Meaco Arete One dehumidifier after, say, 3 months, 6 months, or in our case, 9 months? How do you clean the air filter on a Meaco dehumidifier, and how does it all work and what does it look like after 9 months of pretty much continuous use? The new thing we're trying to make your family happy is to clean out a Meaco dehumidifier. I think this is going to be fairly straightforward. This is the Meaco Arete One 18L dehumidifier, and this is the filter at the back. I've not touched this. I've wanted to save this for you just to show you how much air it cleans. I'll put the camera close to the grill, and I don't know if you can see, but I've kind of poked through some of the dirt. That's how I knew it was probably time to clean this.

So what I'll do is I'll turn it off, and then let's just slide it out to the side. You can see how much dust has been picked up from the sides. This is really fine dust. We have a lot of mud in our house because our doggy Casper comes in with wet, wet paws from the garden, and he—oh, there he is, he heard his name—I'm talking about you. He comes in, shakes off, and all the mud then dries up and turns to this fine dust. You can see in the honeycombs. Can you see? If I give it a little shake, you can see how much is falling out, and it reveals the grill inside. So let's slide it out all the way. 

[Music]

And it's reasonably clean on this side, which is good news for the motor. But you can see some fur and hair has made it through. And then if I lift this up—this is going to be disgusting, isn't it? Here we go—whoa, it's completely gunked up over here. I've got my Miele, I think it's the CX1. I'll put it on screen now. I've got a whole video about unboxing and first impressions review there. But I've got the hose attachment on. Let's turn it on. I hope you can hear me. All of the dirt on this side is going to be on this side. So let's give it a little hoover, a little vacuum.

Oh, you can see it instantly lifts out all the dirt. It's really easy to run the attachment over the grill, just work it into all of those little honeycomb sections to suck out all the dust. And then I'll run it over the sides of the back, just get it into all the corners and just take off all the surface dust as well. A lot has built up over the 9 months that we've been using our Meaco dehumidifier. 

Flip it over, and we'll just give the outside a clean here. And of course, I've not thought this through, but now I guess all that dirt has now gone into our Miele vacuum cleaner, and I'll have to work out a way to clean that filter now. Basically, I'm just passing dirt from here to here to here. But now it's the fun part. It's time to clean this filter, this paper filter. You can reuse it. So if I turn the vacuum on, and then what I'll do is I'll just run the brush over it. I'll just work the brush in between these paper folds, and it really sucks out all of the dust that it's collected. It's doing a great job, and you can see instantly that the filter is turning white again, and you can see some light between the filthy flaps. 

I can also clean around the edges. This foam edging helps keep the filter in place and keep that suction and the air quality pure because only air can get through the paper grills. And over on the other side, what's supposed to be the clean side, obviously some dirt has got through because it's so clogged up. So I'll just give the other side a quick clean as well and just finally clean up around the edges. There, it's like new.

And this is the easiest of the lot, just running the vacuum brush over all the edges where you can see the dirt. You probably can't see this, but there are speckles on the white grills here as well. So I'm working the brush through just to clean everything out, ready for the filter to go back onto the unit. If you look inside, I can actually see some dust has got through to the other side. So I'll probably push the brush through just to try and suck out anything that's gone into the unit. But the filter's done a really great job considering we've not cleaned it for at least 9 months. 

We absolutely love our Meaco Arete One dehumidifier. It's served us so well just for this half a year already. We can see a big drop in mold around the house. To put it all back together again, it's really simple. We just flip over this grill, and then I'll try and keep it the same way so the clean side will be this side, and we'll just push that into place, and the foam will keep it sealed. And then we'll slide it back onto the unit. We're going to try and do this one-handed. Here we go. Wow, it goes on so easily and then just clunks into place.

How to change BOSCH STRIMMER LINE in seconds! EasyGrassCut 26



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

[Music]

So...

So, your Bosch Grass trimmer or strimmer has snapped the line. 

How do you fix the line on a Bosch Garden trimmer? 

I need to turn the power off first. There, I don't always remember. 

It's really easy. I'm going to go through this step by step, and we'll get your line back up and running. 

This is the EasyGrassCut 26, but this is pretty much how all grass strimmers work. 

You can see there's like a, obviously, the thing that spins around. 

On each side, there are these two buttons. 

If we squeeze them together, it lifts the lid off, and then underneath we've got the spool of line. 

What we're going to do is we're going to take this out. It's a bit difficult holding this at the same time. 

And then we want to feed out just a bit of extra line and make sure that the line in the spool is kind of free running. 

It does kind of spill out. If it does, you will have to wind it back up again, otherwise you're going to be doing this a lot. 

Inside the spinny thing in the middle—hope this isn't getting too technical for you—on the spinny thing, there's a little hole, an eyelet. 

What I'm going to do is feed the line into the eyelet, just over here. 

So I just curve that in—whoa, hang on. See that? That is exactly what I didn't want to happen. So we just tighten it up. 

I'll show you a close up of that. Can you see? It's gone through. And then we'll set the cartridge back onto the spool holder here, like this. I find it—oh no, it's the wrong way around. Right, so that's another tip. Can you see? 

It's got these kind of catches. That's the side that goes down. 

And then we can set the cartridge onto this spindle, there, like that. And I'm going to pull it tight just to make sure the line inside is nice and tight. 

And then to rewind it back into the cartridge, you just turn it anticlockwise. 

You can hear it clicking, and I'll show you why it clicks in a moment. 

But that will take the line back in, and we want it to be just about the same length as the protective guard there. So we've got a bit more to go in, but it's okay if it's a bit over because there is a blade or plastic notch on the protective guide. 

So when it spins around—let's tuck it in—when it spins around for the first time, it will catch that blade and cut it to the right length. 

If you want to feed it out again, there's a black button down here. 

If I press that, you can feed it out one notch at a time, and then to wind it back in, just turn the cartridge anticlockwise. So I think we're done there. 

So what we need to do is put the lid back on. It's really simple. 

Just line up the buttons with the guide holes and just slide it down. 

Try and keep it level, otherwise it won't work. 

And that clicks on, so that is now good to go. 

You can see that the line is not going anywhere. 

What we'll do now is turn the power back on, and then watch out, make sure - I'm wearing glasses because it will fly off that excess bit of line on the first turn. Keep your hands and eyes away from it. Here we go, it's going to be noisy.

There, so now it's cut it to exactly the right length, which on this EasyGrassCut 26 is 26 cm diameter. 

And away I go around the happy hut. 

If you want to buy a replacement line, I have a link, an Amazon link, down in the description to the official Bosch trimmer line. 

I personally am using the official products now because I used my dollar store or pound shop trimmer line, and it just melted and just didn't really do the job. So I paid a bit extra, and this does seem to last a bit longer than the cheap alternative lines. But those are on that link as well.

How to setup TELEPROMPTER for YouTube! My DESVIEW T3 prompter on Sony ZV-1 camera...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the Happy Hut, welcome back to the channel. 

I'm Neil, and in this video, I'm going to be looking at teleprompters. 

Are they any good for your YouTube channel? Do they work? 

Which is the best one, and how do I fit a teleprompter to my Sony ZV1 camera? 

This video is basically an excuse for an unboxing of this: the Desview T3 teleprompter for tablet, smartphone, iPad, or in my case, the Sony ZV-1 camera. 

We'll get to the unboxing in a moment, but let me show you my setup because it's working really well for me.

This is the Desview T3 teleprompter. 

Down here is the Desview R5 Mark II field monitor. It's a 7-inch field monitor. 

Now, I'm not—I've paid for all of this with my own money, so this isn't sponsored and it hasn't been given to me for free—but I do really like this setup. Uh, let me show you how I've attached it to the camera. I'll go through this in detail on the unboxing, but I have a wide view lens adapter—can't even get the words out—attached to my Sony ZV1 camera, and on that, you have a ring where you can attach filters.

Well, that means I can attach a ring that holds the teleprompter to the camera.

Let me show you setting it up. 

You take the ring that comes with the teleprompter and screw that onto the filter ring. 

Then you can take off the protective cover for the teleprompter, and it reveals this kind of groove thing that you slip over the ring.

So the ring holds the teleprompter on the end of the camera for you, and this is what it looks like through the camera. So you don't get to see what is being projected onto the screen.

Look, I can show you, I've got words on my computer and they go onto the monitor, and they are reflected in the glass. 

Now, it looks like the monitor is far away on the camera, but in real life, the way that the optics work is that these words actually fill the screen, so I can see that on there. 

But my camera is not showing it because of the way it's—it's the laws of physics—means that I can't actually show you what my eyes can see, but I can see this text really clearly. 

The way I've done that is that I have, uh, a PC under my desk, and an HDMI lead comes out from the PC, and you just connect that to the field monitor. 

I've also got a power cable going in—it's usually a bit tidier than this—but I've got a power cable going in to power the monitor.

Now, the great thing with a field monitor is you can do this with a phone, but with a field monitor, I can bring up a menu on the monitor, and in the menu, I can set the monitor to reverse the text. So I can flip the image horizontally. So I don't know if I can get the camera close enough, but it's actually projecting backwards what is coming out from my PC.

The great thing with that is that I don't need any other apps.

I can just use Google, Google Plain old Google Docs!

So this is a Google Doc with my script on. I've got the zoom into 200%, and I've zoomed into that on my PC. 

And I can even hit F11 here, and that will fill the screen with the text. 

And then while I'm talking—so I hold the camera and talk at the same time—I can scroll the text. 

So I can say that “WhatsApp can be a complete pain sometimes, especially when someone adds you to a group chat”.

And I can just scroll through my script as I'm reading it.

I can do it at whatever speed I like. 

I can make this text bigger or smaller. I've got full flexibility. 

The other way that I use this setup is that I can put Zoom calls up onto the monitor, which means I can look at the camera.

I can give full eye contact to the screen throughout the call without having to awkwardly look up and down during the call. So this has been so helpful for me, and it's helped me to make so many more videos because it means that I can project the text or the image that I want to look at while I'm recording actually in my eyeline, and it's really helped.

It's not cheap, but I've been using this every day.

So this setup—I wish I'd gone for this setup earlier, but I tried bodging it with a phone and a cheaper teleprompter. I wanted to treat myself because I was using it so much.

This is how the Desview T3 teleprompter arrives. 

I'll just give you shots of all sides of the box.

It's a really nice, uh, bit of packaging, even though it's a plain brown box, actually makes it feel quite premium. So I'll open up the package, and we have a user guide.

I guess this is going to be all the adapters. 

Let's open this up.

Yeah, look, all the adapter rings and foam fillers for using it with a smartphone.

I’ll be using mine with a Sony ZV-1. 

Cleaner cloth, uh, there's more holders in there.

We have a teleprompter remote, and then the big thing in the box is the teleprompter itself.

This really nice foam packaging. But the main reason I wanted to buy this particular teleprompter is this. This is crucial. This ring here.

I don't have that on my other teleprompter, and other budget teleprompters do not have this.

This—between uses—if that's open—hang on, just trying to open it up to demonstrate—there's like a lip here on it. It says pull. That's really helpful. Not following that at all.

That just slides on. 

What happens is, if that's open, dust gets into it, inside it. So I'm constantly having to clean inside the teleprompter screen. So to cover it up for protection, this has a nice tray, nice branded cover that just slides on like that.

So we have the two cold shoe mounts. Again, I'm going to be using that. I'll put a ring light on one, and I can put my—you could put a monitor, or I could put my wireless mic receiver so I can see the levels on there. 

The other reason I wanted to buy this one is because of this nice big gap down here. 

I've got a nice chunky Desview field monitor that I use for—oh hello, you can see me—I use a field monitor, and the monitor is just too close to the glass on my other budget teleprompter. 

The different-sized foam cutouts for pressing against a smartphone if you're using the smartphone to record rather than the smartphone to do the cueing and the word projection. 

And we have all these different adapter rings, and they all come individually wrapped, which is a nice touch. Look up here, I have a pretend setup to find your ring. I'll open the 52 mm. 

Let's see if this one fits. Like a glove.

So the idea is for this to—sorry, this is to simulate your camera.

This smartphone holder isn't actually a smartphone holder.

You can pull it out this much for a phone, like—I'll demonstrate.

This is a Samsung S20, but you can stretch further by pressing this button here.

It gives you an extra extension, so this can hold up to, I think it says—you'll have to check this, but I think it's an 11-inch tablet. 

The instructions aren't very clear, but what we need to do is loosen this, which then drops this holder section like that. And that reveals an area where we can put the bolt in. 

So I'll slide the bolt through here, line it up with the bolt, and just screw this in. The holder is firm, and I can now push this back up. But what's great with the T3, the Desview T3, is that you can adjust the height.

We are good to go. 

So if I take off this protective holder—hang on, I could just slide it out. There we go. 

The way you mount it onto an SLR, DSLR, or mirrorless camera—or I do it with my ZV1 with the ring adapter—slide the teleprompter onto this ring, and that holds it in place like that. Let me show you what it looks like side on, and this looks really good. 

So what I want to do now, obviously, is put it on the camera that you're watching right now. So I'm now on my phone. I can do this one-handed. Hopefully, just slide it off the ring. There we go.

And I can now mount the teleprompter onto my ZV-1 so you can see the view from the camera.

But on the side, all I do is line up the teleprompter with this ring and just pull it on into place. 

I'm doing this one-handed, which isn't helpful, but here we go. 

Click, and on it goes. And oh, that looks so good.

So the greatest thing for me, for the Desview T3, is if I take this off—just slide it up like that—I do not want dust going into that hole. 

I can already see some is getting in there, so slide that in, click, and then I can put the protective ring on, and that will stop dust, pollen, and debris from going into the teleprompter while it's in storage. 

That unboxing was recorded about 3 weeks ago.

I've been using this setup every day, pretty much every time I put the camera on.

I've used it for Zoom calls for my day job, and I can just read the text straight off the camera, straight down the barrel of the lens, so you get the full effect of me speaking fluently as if I know what I'm talking about because I've planned it in advance and I've put the script on the screen.

My best first CAMERA BAG on Amazon! Pgytech Onemo 25L Backpack unboxing and first impressions review

Why I chose this as my first ever camera bag from Amazon: the PGYTECH Onemo 25L backpack. I'm trading in my bag that piles all my gear on top of each other for this stylish Olivine camoflage backpack.

I'm planning on using this rucksack for my small gear: Sony ZV-1 camera, Lacie hard drives, DJI Action 2 camera and DJI Mic wireless microphone system. I'm also using the bag's extendible section for my Macbook Pro, bulky notepads and scripts. 

It's fantastic, and here's my unboxing first impressions review.

My best first CAMERA BAG on Amazon! Pgytech Onemo 25L Backpack unboxing and first impressions review

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is my unboxing first impressions of the PGYTECH OneMo camera bag, camera backpack, and oh my goodness, this is a big moment for me. I wanted to capture it on camera because I have never bought a camera bag before or backpack for a number of reasons. Firstly, cost. Spending that amount of money on a backpack does feel slightly alien to me, so this is a new experience. But also because I share how I make videos here on YouTube, and I'm not really into that Peter McKinnon, Matti Haapoja Gerald Undone world of cameras. I just, you know, appreciate them, but I've never been into the big cameras with the interchangeable lenses. I know you might feel differently, and this is why you're getting a backpack, but I like my small cameras. But I did need a camera backpack that doesn't just pile everything on top of each other. I've got a lovely rucksack—well, I had a beautiful rucksack, but the zip broke. So then I bought a quite expensive, for me, rucksack, and this rucksack is gorgeous. I love the look of it. I love the build quality and the quality of the zips, but it just means I heap everything into the bag. My bag is just a heap of stuff, which is not good for the equipment. So I ordered this, the PGYTECH OneMo backpack, and look how it comes out of the package. Look at this. So this is what you get when you spend a bit more money on your rucksacks—a new experience for me.

And look, do I have to say this again? But I bought this with my own money. It's on offer at the moment because there's a new model, the OneMo 2. I'm way behind in reviewing this, but it might be an option if you're thinking of stepping into the world of camera backpacks. And wow, would you look at this for an unboxing experience. Look at it, it's gorgeous. I have to now undo the stitching on the top of this paper bag. Oh, that was a lovely few moments though, wasn't it? Let's take this off, so I get rid of that, move that there. This is how it comes out of the bag, and so we've got nice paper packaging, but there is the reassuring plastic packaging here. And I've gone for the olivine camo, or I think it's called olivine camo, olivine camo. When I was checking this out online, I didn't know how this would look. It's the only thing I see you. I like my bags to be slightly plain, and having this kind of Star Trek logo, uh, stitching on it, paneling on it, didn't quite sit comfortably with my wanting to keep things down on the down low. But in real life, it looks really stylish, and with the olivine—or olivine, is it? I call it olivine camo—these pouch edges kind of blend in really, really nicely, and they're magnetic, so you can put things in there. So I can put my knife, my steak knife in there.

The reason I wanted this is the side access. I really miss just being able to reach into the side without having to open everything up or having everything piled on top of each other. So let's open up. This is the first pouch, and there's an RFID-protected zipper pouch here actually in the flap. And I can, like, you can put all kinds of small things there. I'm missing that from my current rucksack, so this is a huge addition. The only thing I'm scared of, having spent my own money on this, is that there are a few reviews that said that the zips have failed, which isn't a good look because obviously, as soon as one zip fails, the bag is pretty much cut. But we've also got these anti-theft loops so that you can just delay anyone wanting to just unzip your bag very quickly while you're out and about. That loop will slow them down. And then there's the bottom pouch here, and we have three battery holders. I don't use batteries, but I'm sure I'll use these for something because I carry a lot of gear around with me.

And inside, let me put it out here. I should open it all up, shouldn't I? Show you what it looks like. But I just wanted to go for the pouches first. There's an olivine camo shoulder bag. Let's open up the shoulder bag and see what's inside. And we have a shoulder strap for the shoulder bag, and that is adjustable, but obviously, it does slide around. This hook goes over this hook, I guess. Tell me in the comments if I'm wrong, but that looks like the strap for the bag fitted. And then inside we have, oh, there's a pouch on the top, so you can store things in there, which is really handy. Acres of room in here. It's another pouch for more gear, and inside we have these adjustable Velcro panels, the dividers that divide up the bag for you. The Velcro or the hook and loop strips are on the side there, so you can configure this whichever way you want. This one has a little shelf so you can have an upper and lower level. There's a really handy handle on the side here, so you can carry it hand-carry it without the shoulder strap. Let's put that back into the OneMo backpack. So this can just slide into the side pouch or the side panel of the backpack. It goes in like that, really snug. What I love already, just first impressions, is the handle on top, which I'll use a lot, but there is also a handle on the side. I haven't seen that on any reviews that I've watched, and I've watched a lot of them, but there is a side handle in case you want one of those, and it blends in really nicely.

The shoulder straps tuck into two pockets here, so you can pull them out. This is going to be a game-changer for me because I leave this on the floor of the living room every night when I bring all my gear down from the happy hut back to the house, and they just flail all over the floor. Dog treads on them, everyone trips up on them. You can just tuck these in, and there's a chest strap for when you're really running for the train. For me, that would be really helpful. But there's also a pouch here, a zippered pocket with really nice lining. I love the colour of it. I'm not into army military-looking stuff, and this doesn't look too, uh, GI Joe. It's just a really tasteful dark green. On the other side, there's elasticated straps for putting, uh, lens caps. Again, I don't really use them, but that might be useful for tucking something in. Plus, do you know what? I really want to wear my Action 2, my DJI Action 2 camera. I've always tried to find a way of attaching it to a shoulder strap, and I think this might be the one where I'll be able to do that. So while I'm walking around, I can film my journeys.

This is the front section that expands. Wow, this really is first impressions. So it looks like that for extra room. And inside this pocket, there's, uh, elasticated—wow, this is elasticated—that can hold gear in place. I'll be using that for stuffing coats and things in, I think. So the main section, I really wanted to be able to slip my laptop in and out, so you can open it partially and tuck your laptop or tablet in there. I'll put my exercise book as well. I do some handwriting, and that section is subdivided as well. Don't know if you can see inside. This is the moment you're wanting to get to, I'm sure. Here it is opened up, and straight out of the box we've got, uh, a sticker. I think it's a PGYTech sticker, and it already comes with the two halves divided, which is lovely. I won't be changing that. That is one key feature of the bag for me. I think I'm going to be using the bag for other things, so I'm going to take out the shoulder bag. Much though I love it, this is going to be so good for keeping my headphones, my wireless mic, my camera, and all the leads that I need. I wasn't, on the videos I've watched, I wasn't too impressed by the way this kind of looks like it was saggy or not put in very well, but actually, I kind of like how it means that this door here, this flap here opens, and there's like a really nice tall section here, so that might work for when I, you know, go out with my ZV1. I have a wide lens attached to my Sony ZV-1 or ZV1, so that's going to be really nice. Just grab and go from the side there.

And we've got all these compartments. We have extra straps, and they're really nicely labeled. Let me show you what comes out of the box. This looks like there are two dividers. Actually, it's just one where that opens up like this, so you can double-tier this compartment. And then there's another loose compartment here, and again, that folds down into a shelf. And then put that here just for a demonstration. That is going to be so good for carrying gear around. You see the rain is falling. Going to test this waterproofness. Let's zip it up. Finally, just on this first impressions explore, just show you underneath. This has got a hard-wearing—it's almost like a rubberized bottom. Don't we all like a rubberized bottom? There we go. And it stands up fresh out of the box. Who knows if it'll do that when it's full of my gear?

And we've got a strap that opens up here. I guess you can use that on luggage. Yeah, this is really nice. Now the big test for me, because I'm really going to use this, I'm not going to put tripods in here so often, but what I will use is my half-litre water bottle. So I've got a giant water bottle, and that goes in super easily. I've not seen this on other videos. This is how it does it. There's an elasticated strap here, an elastic strap. I didn't quite know how this works, so it's lovely to see it in real life. So that will hold the water bottle in place. Absolutely amazing.

I've not opened this side panel. Let's open this up for you. There's an elastic pouch here, or strap for holding cables or other bits of gear. Another zip and another pocket. Well, I don't know if you find this, but you know I carry other things like hand sanitizer and tissues, all of that gear, uh, pens, pencils, Sharpie markers. They can all go in there. At the moment, they just pile into the bottom of my rucksack, so it's so good to have them, give them a home.

I was really, really wary of spending three figures on a backpack. I know this might be second nature to you. You might be in a part of the world where you can afford that quite comfortably, but for me, it's a giant leap to spend this amount of money on a rucksack. And my first impressions review is this is a hit. I absolutely love how this looks. It feels really well-made, and it doesn't really come across either on the PGYTech website or on Amazon. The pictures really don't do it justice. It is really smart looking. The edging on the zips look really waterproof. It's raining now, just throw some water on. Oh, welcome the bag. This is me on the train. Oh no, spilled my coffee, and it just looks really, really waterproof. There's more space down the back behind this pocket. One of the labels is actually the instructions, so I'll give you a quick, uh, squiz through these. It shows you all the different things, things to do, and how to fit those waist straps and equipment straps so you can have different combinations for your gear.

I think I found the rain cover. There's a Velcro section here. There's another pocket, another pouch. Here's the rain cover. Now I need to get this on. I don't know if it's showing up, but the rain is starting to get gradually heavier. But there's this amazing rain bag that fits perfectly. I've never had a rucksack that has been properly waterproof. That is so good. I should wear it, shouldn't I?

The big takeaways for me, the big pros with the OneMo backpack, is just being able to tuck the straps, the rucksack straps, into these pouches at the back is going to be heaven for me. And the other huge things for me are the side access panels, those doors, to just be able to grab pieces of equipment as and when are going to be crucial. And easy access to slip my notebook, my exercise books, and my laptop into the back just from the top is that I'm just going to be using that the most, I think. So wearing it for the first time, stand back. Oh my goodness, that is so comfortable. I know it's empty. I can adjust these exactly how I want them. It does feel really good. It just feels so comfortable. You can pull these straps down to tighten the arm straps there. And this is pretty much the same size as my standard rucksack, so it's not too big, but it does expand at the front. If I did need to put heavy coats or big items on there, I know that I can strap them on and carry them really easily. Oh, that feels really good.

Why this POWER BANK is my best budget phone battery on Amazon! Maxvol 4 cables-in-one...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is going to be a quick video because I am looking for the ultimate power bank. I need a battery for my phone, maybe to top up the laptop as well, but just some kind of charger when I'm out and about. I'm looking for something that's small in size, in physical size, but big in storage and small in weight, but something that has cables built into it because I always grab the power bank and never have the right cable. So I'm hoping this is the solution. This is the Maxvol Hyper Fast Charging. What model number is it? It's the Power Bank MVP1. Ultra slim, ultra powerful. I love how on the Amazon page they had that word—is it thinnest?—that caught my attention because I need something that isn't too huge. Judging by the packaging, this isn't the smallest thing, but let's unbox it. This is just an unboxing, first impressions review. This could be the power bank we're after.

So I bought this on Amazon. It was about $20 or £17 here in the UK, and this is how it comes straight out of the box. It's slightly bigger than the power banks, the cheap power banks, I've been using, but this feels quite premium. It's nice glossy plastic. These are the power banks I've been using. I bought it in a supermarket. It is, uh, 6,000 mAh and has the cables built in, but it's so old now that it's a micro USB. I needed something with USB-C, and look, just compare it with this. This is 10,000 milliamp hours, and I'll, uh, have the satisfying removal of the film. But the thing that captured my attention with this is the built-in different cables. So I have a lightning cable, which is really handy with my daughter's devices. We got micro USB, USB-C, with a nice, uh, flash of purple inside there, and this is an odd-looking square, but this should fit into a regular USB socket. Trying to think of the word for it. It's just a USB port jack. The cables are about 15 cm long, or as big as my hand, um, so I guess I could just hold my phone next to it and plug it in. Should we go for it? Should we just do it?

I've read comments on the Amazon page, reviews that say it comes fully charged. So press the button to see what happens. Power switch is on the side here. Wa, it's on 93%, and is that a light? We'll see. And we've got some other ports here—a USB port, a micro USB port, and a USB-C port there. It's really sleek, and to tuck the cables back, you just squeeze the cable into the groove. They go back really easily. That's really smart, that's great stuff. Right, let's plug it into my phone and see if it works. So I'll probably hold it that way and just plug the jack in. There we go, it's charging, and it looks like it's charging fast. So that's good. Not super fast, but fast. So I will charge my Samsung S20 in about an hour from 19%, so that's pretty good, isn't it? But it's really sleek. I mean, it's glossy, glossy black, so I'm not sure this is—I think this is not going to stay scratch-free for long in my bag, the way I treat my power banks, but this is definitely a massive step up for me. On the display, there's a little green sort of, uh, lightning flash, which I guess shows it's being discharged. Hey, I wonder what would happen if I charge—if I plug this into this? We might see if this charges up. So I'll unplug. So this is just first impressions. I just wanted to show you what it looked like, but let's see what would happen if I plug my power bank into here. Which way around will it go? Yep, it's charging, look at that. So the 92% is flashing. I'm sure that doesn't show up on screen because of the harsh sunlight, but this is charging up. And again, I've read the reviews on Amazon. It's, uh, it's slow to charge, but I think that's the same for all power banks. But all in all, this is a really nifty, nifty thing.

I'll just show you the capacity here and the instruction leaflet, welcome guide, as Maxvol call it. I'll just show you these so you can see how the thing works. To charge the power bank, you can have hyper fast charge. Uh, you need the cable plugged into it to be hyper fast. The other way to charge the power bank is to use a type-C to type-C port, so that would go into here, or you can use the built-in USB-A connector—that was the word I was looking for—so you can charge this from either a charging brick or, I guess, from a laptop or other device, maybe a computer, and it charges through there. Also, I've only discovered this later, but if you press the power button and hold it down, this LED light comes up, so it's got a little torch on, which in the sunshine probably doesn't look that powerful, but that could be quite handy if I ever need a torch when I'm out with my power bank. To turn it off, you just hold the power button down again. I'll also put a link in the description if I hit any problems or if there are any other details that I encounter during the first month of use. I'll put those, all of those, down in the description. I think this could be the power bank I've been looking for. Thank you for hitting the thumbs up or the subscribe button. It really helps me to keep this channel going. I do appreciate it. And right here is what YouTube knows you are going to love watching next. Can you please help my dad get to 1 million subscribers? Just click on his face. Thanks, bye. Can we have dinner now?

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. This is the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 Grass trimmer, or is it a strimmer? We'll find out in this unboxing first impressions review. This is how the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 arrives. Uh, got this from Amazon, and when you get it from Amazon, they just send this as a box with an address label on the front. While I'm opening the box, let me give you a tour of the packaging. Uh, you can pause the video if you want to read any of, uh, any of these details. This is the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 Grass trimmer, corded Grass trimmer, bit of a tongue twister.

We've got some documentation here, and we've got the handle, and wow, look at this. It comes with, uh, an extendable pole that you just lock together. Should we just do that now? When you get it out of the box, it's in these three parts that you put together, and one of these has already fallen off, so this is good. You've got to remove these knobs to stop the bars from clicking together because you've got to do it in a particular order. So it's the top one first, the section with the handle. We'll take out this protective nut here and get rid of that, and then we can lock it into place. And it's really straightforward. You just find the hole and click this together. Once we do this, this will be forever. We can't, uh, disassemble it, take it apart. So let's squeeze it in and just turn it till it clicks. There, so that's now locked forever. And we'll do the same with the bottom one. Take off the rubber ring, and then we'll squeeze these together. It feels really well built. I'll show you why in a moment. I'll click this in there. Click. So now we have the Grass trimmer. The strimmer is in place.

Oh, on first impressions, this pole feels so much better than the previous pole because I actually did an unboxing of an older Bosch strimmer, and the pole just felt thinner. This feels nice. It's like a sort of matte black brushed feeling here, and then we've got the trimmer head. Now, I had a whole debate on the last video about, do you call it a strimmer or a trimmer? Turns out that I call it a strimmer. I call these strimmers. They strim the garden. Apparently, that's a trademark name, so that's why Bosch don't call it a strimmer. It's a Grass trimmer. But up here at the top, we've got the handle. So there's like a safety bar and a safety button as well. So to start the trimmer, you have to push in, and then you can pull up the button bar along the bottom. You have to do both, and then when you let go, the thing turns off. This feels really nice, nice grip, and then we've got a handle here, an adjustable handle. Push the button in, and you can set this. You have to squeeze both buttons on either side, and then you can set the angle that you want the handle to be at. Down at the other end, the business end, this is, wow, this is looking much nicer than the old one. Uh, so this looks like it might last longer, but you can feed out the line by pressing this button here, and then you can pull more line out if you need to. It's supposed to auto-feed, so it's supposed to maintain the same length as it goes.

But the next thing we need to do, oh, should I, should I show you? You squeeze these buttons to see inside. There you go. And there's the trimmer line inside, and that's how you change it. And you can just push this lid back on. Should just click. There we go. So we need to fit a guard, and that's in the box below here. Let's get rid of the old one. On first impressions, it does feel really nice. This feels a lot better than previous Grass trimmers I've had. But let's fit this guard first, and we are going to need to remove the screw so that we can fit it onto the trimmer head. You'll need a crosshead screwdriver for this. Just unscrew it, and then we need to clip it onto the Grass trimmer itself. And you want the guard part to be facing towards you when you're holding it. Pull out the metal bar so you've got a bit of space to work with. We just slide it over the holder here, and it should just slot into place. Now we can screw the protection guard onto the Bosch strimmer.

It's a really long screw, so you might want, uh, a power screwdriver for this. I've got my Ikea screwdriver for this. There's a link to a video on that down in the description. But now that's on, so now you've got a guard on this side, but more importantly, you've got a guard to protect your feet. On the guard, just so you know, because the cord spins around this way, there's like a blade here to keep the strimmer line the right length. So this will cut off the excess on the first spin, and then hopefully, it will keep auto-feeding, so you won't need to do that much more with it.

First impressions: what I love about this EasyGrassCut 26 is the length of it. It's just the right height for me. I think I've got some footage of me using the Flymo strimmer, and that's a lovely small unit, but the problem with being small is that I've got to kind of lean over to get low down, and you get a bad back with someone my height. I'm about 5'10", but with the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26, I don't have to stretch down because it's a longer pole that the trimmer is on, so I can reach low down without having to bend over.

Let me give you some facts from the box. If it's 280 watts and it's called the EasyGrassCut 26 because the cutting line has a diameter of 26 cm, the strimmer line it uses is a 1.6 mm line diameter. It weighs 2 kg, and when you're swinging this around, I can manage it, and I tend to complain about garden tools that are too heavy. So this is pretty much the right weight. It also feels substantial and well-built. The power cable length is 6 m, so mind you don't cut that into, like, uh, someone in my household did recently. As well as being lightweight, it has a semi-automatic line feeder to keep the strimmer line the right length. The handle, as you saw, was adjustable, so you can have it at just the right angle. And there's a metal bar. That metal bar is the plant protector, so you can set the distance from the line so that you don't end up cutting your plants while you are weed whacking. So we'll obviously want to set this to be the length of the cord, and that way, I won't end up killing my wife's plants. I think you lift the bar over the notch on the protective guard like that and click it on both sides. It can now extend, so if I pull it out, this will help me gauge where I don't want the strimmer line to go.

By the way, this is the first use, so if I give it one spin by holding the trigger and pressing the safety catch, that noise is the blade on the protective guard cutting off the end of the line.

Okay, we've had our first line loss here, so let me turn it off by the mains. What you do is you squeeze the two buttons on either side of this lid here, and that reveals the strimmer line inside. I'm going to lift the spool, lift the cartridge out of the spool. There we go. Whoa, don't want to lose the line. We need the line to be tight in here, so I'm just going to rewind it. Just make sure this is nice and taut, and then I'm going to feed the line into the hole on the side here, like that, and then I can put the cartridge down onto the spool holder, and then I can rewind it so I don't lose too much line. And now I can just put the lid back on. All you do is just slide it and make sure the buttons go into the guide holes until it clicks. There we go, so we are now good to go, and I'm going to try edging this section of sleeper again. I forgot to do one thing: that's to feed the power cable through this hole. So if you feed it up from underneath and then hook it over this hook, and that takes the tension, so it means that you're not tugging on where it's connected to the strimmer. So I'll just give that a nice pull, and then that will last you now forever. Let's try and do some edging on this, uh, railway sleeper. So I think I need to get used to using this Bosch trimmer, but, uh, I'm just—I'm turning it just at an angle so that the trimmer line hits the edge of the sleeper. I don't want to snap the trimmer line again, uh, but it seems to be cleaning up the grass around the, uh, wooden sleeper really nicely there. Let's try it on these paving slabs. These are concrete slabs, and the trimmer seems to be coping quite well with cleaning up around the edges. That grass has overgrown nearly all of them. I'm not sure I'll do all of the paving slabs today, so this is just for you, a special demonstration for you. I can seem to come at it from any angle, and it does lift the grass away. But on this slab, I have the same problem again. Maybe it's just not designed to hit hard objects, and maybe it's designed to come apart when it hits an object so it doesn't damage the object. And look, maybe I've gone too close to the hard objects. You can see that the cap is scratched already. This is just the first time I've used this.

I don't usually go really big on the safety messages on this channel because I figure you're a grownup, you know what you need to do. But I would say I am really glad that I'm wearing glasses with this Grass trimmer because the stuff that's flying up does come up at quite a speed. You can feel lots of stuff flying out everywhere, so I'm really glad I've got my glasses on. Of course, the other danger in our garden are the holes dug by our Cocker Spaniel dog, Casper. I have to mind that I don't fall into one of those hidden by the grass.

The height of this Bosch trimmer is just right for me. I can just reach out. That's a pro. Another pro is the metal plant protector. I've got a much better idea on this Grass trimmer of how close to go to the plants or things like these monkey bars. It's a lot easier to guide it with that metal guide. Let me show you what it's like using the Bosch Grass trimmer right up against this wooden paneling, which we can see if the line snaps this time or whether it even damages the wood. So I'm getting quite a good close cut here, and I've got pebbles buried under here, and, uh, there's a bramble growing through, but it seems to be getting through all of it really well. So this is getting top marks for my edging around the happy heart.

Let's take a look now at the wood, get a closeup just to see if there's any damage. Ooh, some spider's going nuts here, but you can see it's just light scratching of the wood. And obviously, you know, I could be more careful with the bar. I did kind of twist the angle of the trimmer to get a nice close cut there, and I think some of these scratches are from previous trimmers as well. So I'm really happy with how the EasyGrassCut 26 does the edging around the heart.

Maybe I'm being too hasty here. I'm putting the Bosch EasyGrassCut 26 deliberately into this really thick clutch of brambles. This is really thick thorny growth here, uh, just to see if it lasts. And the trimmer line does really well. It actually holds it together, and I can make short work of this really difficult bit of fence work that's just really overgrown. I'm really trying not to cut the electrical lead on my solar-powered lights here, and that, again, that metal bar, the protective guide, really helps me to gauge how close I can go and what angle I can push the trimmer in to not hit something that I don't want to hit. I've got strawberries growing under here. I don't want to destroy those. I wouldn't mind some strawberries in a few weeks' time.

How I REPLACE Philips Shaver blades! New shaving heads for cleaner shave...



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

And it sounds like this. It shouldn't sound like this, but it sounds like this now.

I am going to replace my shaving heads on my Philips shaver. I'm using a Series 3000, but I think this is the same for most Philips shavers. 

If you press this eject button - I'm sure you know this - but this is the bin that collects all of the beard trimmings, and all the shaving goes into there. 

What is not quite obvious is that on some of these, you can actually pull this off to wash it inside, clean all in there, just run water because it's a wet and dry version. 

I've got the official Philips shaving heads replacement set. 

This is for the Series 3000 or 1000. 

First thing we need to do is to twist this centre lock mechanism. 

You just turn it anticlockwise, and that releases the holder. 

These push the blades down into position. It's like a little springiness them. 

But just for demonstration, the three blades sit in a cradle like this. 

They push up and down against your face, but we're going to remove them. You just push them out. 

This is how the blades work inside the grill. 

There's a free running set of blades. 

They cost about $20 or 20 British pounds. Some instructions on the side here. Let's see what's inside the pack. 

You can get fake Philips or, you know, off-brand ones. 

These cost about twice the price of the non-official ones, but I thought I use this every day. I didn't want to skimp on this. 

And the way to fit them is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll show you. 

These ones are slightly different from the ones that came with the shaver. They have these lugs on the side, and they fit into the gaps on the holder on the top. So there is a right way of doing this. 

You kind of drop it in like that, and it stops it from turning around. 

If you don't meet those lugs, the blade is kind of offset, so you want that to be flush. 

So you just turn it around to be that kind of orientation, and you see it drops straight in. 

So the other lugs are here and here. So I will drop the lugs in that way around, just tuck them under the central pole here so those two are flush. 

And then we'll do the third blade. So now we have all three blades in position. I can now fit the springy holder. 

You see it kind of springs like that, and it goes this way up. So you want the turning dial to be facing you with the arrows, and then we're going to line up the gaps with the three prongs here, which means that the springs will sit directly above each blade, and they guide this in those prongs. 

So it should look like that. 

And then crucially, we're going to turn it clockwise, so against where the arrows are pointing, and that locks it into place. So now I can push down, and it's all held in place. 

Wow, it's going to be so good to have my shaver back, not screeching at me. 

You don't need something screeching at you in the morning, do you? 

And then we are good to go. All we need to do now is to push this back into the holder, and the shaver is sounding much healthier. 

I can see bits of beard everywhere in the sunlight. 

The sun's still holding out, so let's see. Let's see if this actually works. 

Oh my goodness.

Why I CLEAN & REPLACE PHILIPS SHAVER blades!

How do you CLEAN a Philips shaver inside... and how do you change and REPLACE the round shaver blades? I've always used a Philishave electric shavers - currently series 3000, and share how I can take out the rotating blades, take them apart to clean and wash. Plus I show how to fit new Philips replacement rotary blades shaver heads for the 1000, 3000 and 5000 series shavers.

Why I CLEAN and REPLACE PHILIPS SHAVER blades!

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

Hello, welcome back to the channel. It's a gorgeous day today, a gorgeous gate, a gorgeous gate, that's not right. Hello, welcome back to the channel. It's a gorgeous day for doing this. I am going to replace, change my shaving heads on my Philips shaver. It's a Series 3000 filler shave, and it has these heads. And how do you clean a Philips shaver? I'm, I'm going to do the discussing, and we're going to clean out this electric shaver. I'm using a Series 3000, but I think this is the same for most Philips shavers. Can I just say from the outset, this is my dad's shaver headset. He has a Philips shaver too and didn't know how to, how to clean his. I'm not sure many people know that you can actually clean inside the blades because although it has a compartment for capturing the shavings, some people don't realize that you can actually take apart the blades themselves and clean all inside there, clean the gunk out, and clean and remove all the residue. Also, I damaged my shaver, dropped it out the drawer, and it sounds like this. It shouldn't sound like this, but it sounds like this.

Now let me take the blade out, and I'll show you what it should sound like. So much more pleasing. Uh, I think, think the blade got dented. Let me show you. There's a little grill along the top. I don't know if you can see just there, the teeth. There's a tiny dent on the grill, and it means that the blades inside hit it at that point and makes that really horrible noise. So I've got to replace this blade now. The new thing we're trying today is to clean this wet and dry Philips Shaver Series 3000, but also 1000, 5000, and other Philips electric shavers. They're sometimes called filler shaves, aren't they? But I don't think they've used that name in a while. If you press this eject button, I'm sure you know this, but this is the bin that collects all of the beard trimmings, and all the shaving goes into there. What isn't quite obvious is that on some of these, you can actually pull this off to wash it inside, clean all in there, just run water because it's a wet and dry version. Uh, so that comes off here. We'll put that to one side, and I use an old toothbrush. They used to give you those really nice black brushes with the long bristles to get all underneath the motors. If I press the on button, you can see them spinning around. If we go closer, you can see the motors have a little gap underneath them, and you can bend them. So if I get the toothbrush, it's much better with a long-bristled brush. We'll just clean inside, and this is going to get disgusting, I promise you. But there's going to be quite a lot coming out, and I cleaned these blades the other day, and I've got a special set from where my dad, he couldn't actually get into the blades. So if you have trouble with, uh, gripping things, you might want to get someone to do this for you. I'm going to show you how to clean these blades as well as replace them. So I've got the official—let's reach it over—I've got the official Philips shaving heads replacement set. This is for the Series 3000 or 1000. First thing we need to do is to twist this center lock mechanism. You just turn it anticlockwise, and that releases the holder. These push the blades down into position. They're like a little springy in them. Let's give this a little brush and a clean. Like I said, I did this the other week, so it did not look like this. And I'm going to show you what a long-term not cleaned set of blades looks like in a moment. But just for demonstration, the three blades sit in the cradle like this. They push up and down against your face, but we're going to remove them. You just push them out. Now what's really important with this is that you keep each blade with the grill because they have worn down over time, and if you start mixing them up, apparently, that's not a good thing. So we're going to keep this blade with this grill that holds it in place. Let's take all three out, and then we can clean the holder. I'll show you how to replace them in a moment. But you can get the brush in between on the top, and because the thing moves up and down to fit the contours of your face, there are bits of beard in between. So we're going to just run the brush between these holders, and then on the other side, really get the bristles in and give it a good clean. We'll get this ready for the new blades, but let me show you the old blades. This is how the blades work inside the grill. There's a free running—whoa—set of blades. So we got two places to clean here. We put that there. First place is between the blades themselves. So I try to give the overall set of blades a nice brush, get rid of the beard there. And then there's bits of skin and debris that go underneath the blades here, so I just brush up. That should clean them out. And then in the grill, there's more debris here, and this is where dead skin collects around the edges. So I'm just going to go around the sides, and you can see all that skin coming off. Wow, all of this has come from about a fortnight. I do this about every 6 months, but I think you're supposed to do it a lot more frequently than that. And then I'm going to do the same with the other two blades to speed this up. The other thing I'm doing is cleaning the top of the grill as well. So I'm just making sure to get all the dead skin and the beard debris out with the shaving heads. Don't forget to try and keep each blade together with the grill that it belongs with. The sun's come out for this. That's pretty good, isn't it? We might get this done before the thunderstorms arrive.

I have got an extra special treat for you. I'm going to show you what happens if you don't clean them, and it gets to the point where it really stops cutting altogether. So if your Philips shaver has stopped working, this could be what has happened. Look at this. Oh, this is revolting. If you've not done this before, your blades might just look like this. Oh my goodness. Here's a secret that I don't think I've shared on the channel before, but I have never wet shaved. When I was growing up, I had really terrible acne and just started shaving with the electric shaver. Maybe I should wet shave on the channel. That'll be a fun video, but I'm just really happy with the Philips shaver. These rotary blades mean that you can just pull it across the beard in any direction, and I found with other shavers like Braun, where you can only go in one direction, it's actually really irritating and takes five times longer to achieve a clean shave. But with the toothbrush, it's really easy to clean out even the worst gunk from your shaving heads. If you can run it over quickly, you need to clean these bits out 'cause these allow the bits of beard to go through and fall into the hopper that collects the beard. So this is what it looked like before, and now this is how it looks after. That will now start cutting your beard again. Inside the grill, just as a gunk too, we've got dead skin on the side, although it stopped working so thoroughly that I don't think it's collected anything on the side. And we could do the sides. We get some debris collecting on the sides here and the grill on top. Let's open the next one up, see what treats await us. Oh my goodness, this. It's so packed in. Can you see that? It just stopped cutting altogether. All we do is run the toothbrush over, and you can see the sheer amount of beard and dead skin that's collected. It's not that long. I think this is about 6 months' worth. Let's do a third one just for the fun of it. Look, it's just swirled around and solidified. You can hear the chunks of beard and skin falling onto my pad underneath. So just give this a huge brush. I just realized this is a clean with me, isn't it? But for, uh, for dads. There we go. I wish I could teach the kids to do this for me.

Now, how do you fit brand new shaving heads for your Philips shaver? This did look nice and new. It's now covered in beard. They cost about $20 or 20 British pounds. Some instructions on the side here. Let's see what's inside the pack. You can get fake Philips or, you know, off-brand ones. These cost about twice the price of the non-official ones, but I thought I use this every day. I didn't want to skimp on this. By the way, look at how much has come out. That's revolting. Let's open up the new blades, and the way to fit them is pretty self-explanatory, but I'll show you. These ones are slightly different from the ones that came with the shaver. They have these lugs on the side, and they fit into the gaps on the holder on the top. So there is a right way of doing this. You kind of drop it in like that, and it stops it from turning around. If you don't meet those lugs, the blade is kind of offset, so you want that to be flush. So you just turn it around to be that kind of orientation. You see it drops straight in. So the other lugs are here and here. So I will drop the lugs in that way around, just tuck them under the central pole here, so those two are flush. And then we'll do the third blade. I'm not going to mix them up because I want them to get even wear, so I'm really, you know, treating myself. Treat yourself. So now we have all three blades in position. I can now fit the springy holder. See, it kind of springs like that, and it goes this way up. So you want the turning dial to be facing you with the arrows, and then we're going to line up the gaps with the three prongs here, which means that the springs will sit directly above each blade, and they guide this in those prongs. So it should look like that, and then crucially, we're going to turn it clockwise, so against where the arrows are pointing, and that locks it into place. So now we can push down, and it's held in place. Wow, it's going to be so good to have my shaver back, not screeching at me. You don't need something screeching at you in the morning, do you? And then we are good to go. All we need to do now is to push this back into the holder, and the shaver is sounding much healthier. I can see bits of beard everywhere in the sunlight. The sun's still holding out. Let's see, let's see if this actually works. Oh my goodness, yeah. I'm going to be ready for a wedding this afternoon, so that's good.

How to destroy a leather sofa with electric foot rests in 12 minutes!

How to destroy a leather sofa with electric foot rests in 12 minutes!

I had to dismantle my dad's 3-seater leather sofa before he could get his new IKEA Ektorp armchairs built. We couldn't donate this sofa because it's against the law if it doesn't have the safety tag still attached... and we couldn't afford to get it reupholstered: the leather is torn and the seat on one side completely collapsed. So the only way to get it out of the apartment and over to the tip was to take apart the foot rest motors and then destroy the sofa into 3 large parts which can be carried out to the car!

How to destroy a leather sofa with electric foot rests in 12 minutes!



TRANSCRIPT: (CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE)

THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT - CLICK PLAY ON THE VIDEO ABOVE!

hello welcome back to the channel this is a funny little video about how we destroyed my dad's leather sofa his three seater sofa look you can see the three of us the men of the family working out how on Earth we are going to get this brown leather sofa out of his small apartment or flat as we call it here in the United Kingdom 

we knew we had to pull it out but we had no idea how we were going to get take this apart so the first thing we're doing is is tipping it up on its back and it has adjustable footrests mechanical electric footrest don't worry it's it's unplugged but we had to First somehow work out how to get the electric motors out from the sofa and then figure out how we take the thing apart or get it out of the out of the flat uh 

underneath the fabric oh you can see a nice shot of my uh my my clothing at the back could probably be a bit more uh better uh forgive me thank you for your patience but we're going to somehow work out a way to unbolt the electrical motors that drive the footrests and to do that we need to even find them so here's my sun and I are just trying somehow to locate where the motors are and how they're bolted to the leather Sofa underneath and this is going to be a bit dull but I'm I'm just trying to use my electric screwdriver to to power out the the different screws and we plug it in again just to we had to like move the footrest to different positions just so I could even get to the the screws that held the motors to the sofa my my dad granddad's uh very helpfully diving in with the uh the vacuum cleaner and this took forever 

I think I might speed this up a bit faster because it takes ages just to find out where the the screws were it turns out they were about 6 of them on each uh motor there were two foot rests we're now looking into the sofa on both sides it's so difficult just trying to just trying to find out where where these screws and bolts are so the two of us thought we we do a two prong attack and see if we could get both foot stool Motors out at the same time 

dad's back in with the Hoover it's great work dad and yeah and slowly but surely we start to remove more fabric to expose more by the way it's it was really nice it was really nice family day nice male bonding for the three generations of the mossy family here without a clue oh my God I'm so sorry I'm going to have to blur out the uh I've got to blur out the back of my jeans I've got real Builders bum going on here which was right for the for the toolbox and the the task in hand but you don't you don't need to see this I think this this blurring needs to be quite loud [Music] 

anyway this this took forever so if you've looked up this video to see how to destroy a sofa how to take apart a leather sofa with electrical mechanical foot stools I hope something here helps but uh it was just a painstaking exercise to dismantle it so I'm now unplugging the the motors but I have to plug them in again just to move the foot stool a small amount to be able to expose the bolts and the screw is holding the motor to the wooden frame of the leather sofa and uh it's really difficult it's just so hard I'm using combination of a cross- head screwdriver and I've got a wrench there and some pliers because some of the the bolts have to be held on the other side and I I've managed to get the right hand side loose so I knew we're on to something it was just a couple more screws holding the motors in place that stopping us from actually taking the motors out and then we could start cutting up the sofa but this was a bit of a breakthrough here this was the moment where I knew that I could get the right hand side footstool out so with a bit of help just to remove this one final Bolt 

the whole weight of the entire mechanism was just on one one screw there and I think that's that's now out so now I've gone over to the other side to remove the remaining screws holding the the mechanism in place and with a bit of help from my son to lift up the there like a pump action kind of thing that pushes the footstool out and locks into place we had to move that from time to time oh look at this I found uh my dad's Freedom pass he' lost that about 5 years ago 

he had free travel in London from when he was living in London and was convinced that he'd lost his freedom pass I think I I'll show it to the camera in a minute but uh I found that jam down the side of the sofa so if you take nothing away from this but this tip up your sofa now tip it up now and have a good rout around underneath because there'll be all kinds of gems from the the 5 or 10 years that that you you've had it this sofa is about 10 15 years old and we would have loved to have kept it going but uh to reupholster it would have costed hundreds if not a thousand and no one would take it because it didn't have the the the tag anyway we're tipping the the the sofa up as you can see and we've managed to get the left hand side sofa units out we can carry that outside which which is uh fantastic it was the best part of the day so we found an old lost Freedom

pass oh Dad was choked it was here all the time he was looking everywhere for that so now we are taking apart the the right hand side of the sofa and that can go out out the back door ready to go to the tip because we can take these piece by piece in the car I haven't got a big car so I couldn't get the uh the whole sofa in and that then leaves the carcass oh Dad's having another go with the uh with the vacuum cleaner yeah I'm now thinking what on Earth do I do with the three seats of the Tre seater sofa so we removed that unit and just looking at the fill

this is about five years worth of of just stuff and spillages and a little bit of uh mold that's built up on on the wall there I'll talk about that in a bit here's sofa part two I'm going to somehow try and Destroy what's left of it the camera here we're in for the final push and I've got the jigsaw out it's a corded jigsaw and in my head I'm just thinking if I can make some crucial cuts on the wooden frame of the sofa then I could at least get the thing into three parts and I could get those three parts into the back of the car so it's a combination of Jigsaw and that's just plywood at the back my dad's offering me a hammer as you can see the the sofa is just built of plywood and foam and these these wooden struts so I've tipped It Forward just to get a different angle for the jigsaw to get in and I'm using the handsaw and and uh what else have I got there I didn't take the hammer and I'm just trying to work out where where are the easiest points to cut what's there 

I I pulled out the there switches on the side electrical switches that controlled the the motors I thought that might be useful to keep them with the motors maybe sell them on eBay I don't know is there much of a market for foot rest motors from sofas they're really good and they work really well uh so I've cut out all Electronics put that to one side and then back to removing this part of the sofa and I had an idea here where if I make a couple of cuts I could fold it down and that would help the arm just fold down in into the car so off that goes out the back door and I've got to cut what's left now in half dad's having a much needed uh sandwich break uh very crucially holding it for me uh this is what looking like at the back and uh

this going to cut here and cut all the way down there and then and then I can use the jigsaw or saw to cut through the frame and that will be the three parts we need to get rid of it and I'll take out the electronics here back to the jigsaw and the and the hand saw just get a nice angle on the camera and I'm using the knife that's the other uh piece of equipment I've got it's the knife to remove the fabric making those incisions into the leather of the back of the sofa there and there a lot of Staples in the thing 

I had to avoid the blade hitting the Staples so I'm just using the knife just to cut away any fabric I can and then this jigsaw just goes straight through the plywood and the wooden struts holding it together little bit of work with the hand saw I think that was just to get around the metal Staples that are in in the in the frame and then one final bit of jigsaw to cut this last Strut and that's it I've managed to segment divide this three sea sofa into three I'm pulling out the electronics bit little less carefully this time I don't if you can see the silver buttons there so I'm just trying to find those I don't know why I'm salvaging these it just it was just my favorite part of the sofa I think it' be a shame to let those Motors go to waste so I'll just put those with the footrest Motors and then little bit more cutting with the jigsaw so I can fold down this arm of the armchair for its final Journey to the the council tip uh you got to book in these days which is Fun Since Covid 

and then we've got a last section there so now it's just the clear up uh take everything out to the back door and get things ready for the Ikea Ektorp two armchairs I'm going to just clean the floor this is like 5 years is worth of spills that have gone down over the years and I need to clear a space because the Ikea Ektorp they're they're quite big these armchairs that are coming in I've got another video about these that link is down in the description I'd love you to see it those Ikea armchair builds with a separate foot stool no motorized foot rest unfortunately but time to gather up all the tools one final final clean and uh this place has never been this clean look at this amazing stuff uh 

just do a bit of uh merry Poppins with my uh trousers hanging down and that line against the wall there that is where I guess warm air was hitting the cold wall behind the sofa it's the coldest point in the room and I'm going to use a sterilizing fluid I'm just very carefully sucking up the dust around that back wall there all I'm doing is getting a cloth with Milton sterilizing fluid you know the fluid that you use for uh sterilizing baby bottles let's pull in the the Ikea boxes I'll move the camera and we'll just get the cloth and bleach these walls just do it really carefully you have to dab at the walls and not uh Splash it I don't want to Splash it on the carpets because that really would bleach it but can you see how clean the skirting boards are coming up and that it's on the skirting boards and the walls it's pretty uh revolting stuff here 

I'm trying not to disturb the the mold spores should really be wearing uh uh face guard but uh I'm hoping if I just do it quickly enough and with enough sterilizing fluid it will obliterate the the the lights mold that had grown behind the the sofa this room is just going to be so much more clean and healthy uh despite my poor lack of clothing there hanging out the back thanks for hitting the like or the Subscribe button it really helps me I really appreciate you coming along for the ride and right here is a video where I replaced the leather sofa with two Ikea Ektorp armchairs [Music]
