Shopping is a great form of retail therapy. According to Amy Morin, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, shopping is a great coping mechanism for we get to have a temporary boost just by imagining ourselves wearing a new outfit or using a new product. The power of imagination gives us a false sense of control in the moment. In a 2011 study, Psychology and Marketing, retail therapy is an effective way to cheer you up for one can improve a bad mood easily through retail therapy. That's why, I do so many Shopping hauls. Since I've been doing Beauty hauls for years, I figured I shall change things up and do an electronic haul instead.
Shopee Electronic Haul Review
In case you have not heard of Shopee, please head over to the video and check it out. If you are looking for an unboxing and fixing fails of these electronics, I will be posting another video of that with the bloopers soon. I might post the bloopers in another video but no guaranteed. Either way, this blog post is created to write a detailed review of the electronics that I've bought from Shopee during the haul. BTW I am no expert when it comes to electronics, beauty maybe, but not electronics so this is merely a review on what I feel about these products.
Your Standard Stand Mixer
Cornell CSM-8007HP Stand Mixer is your standard budget stand mixer that you'll see in Singapore. It is the first mixer I've bought and I am happy with the results. The speed of the mixer is strong enough and you can feel the hot air coming out from the holes at the side. There are suction cups at the bottom of the mixer so that the machine doesn't run as your mixer spins. I like how the bowl spins slowly as well when the mixer does its work. The stand mixer could easily be turned into a hand mixer just by pressing a button at the side. This is the perfect easy to use a budget stand mixer that I never knew I needed.
Fancy looking Mic with Hissing in its sound quality
BM-800 Gold Condenser Microphone looks so fancy with the stand and condenser. The easy plug and play idea got me thinking, is this true? However, as all of you know, nothing good ever comes easy. Although the set up was pretty effortless - except for the part where you have to figure out your own IKEA manual in your head - the recording was another story.
As this mic doesn't have its own power, it takes power from your device be it camera, phone or computer. Somehow this combination will cause a hissing sound in your recording. The only way I can get rid of this snake is to manually edit it out using audacity or the video software I'm using.
Kawaii Neko Kashikiki
USB Cat Air Humidifier is the cutest creation ever. With the fish in the water, it looks like the cat ate the fishy. It is odd that the instructions specifically said to add tap water and not filtered water like other humidifiers. Plus, I can't add oils as well. This will help expand the lifespan of the cat.
Aside from that, the cat makes a very good night light. The night light will change from blue to red to green, etc. The mist was quite dense and it helps warms and humidifies certain areas of the room. I like how it comes with an external USB light and an external USB fan. For a humidifier this size, it sprays out an adequate amount of mist from its spray hole. Overall, it is more of a decorative to me than a humidifier for Singapore's environment is already quite humid by itself.
Double Player Fake Supreme Gameboy
SUP Video Game Console is the first thing I got from the haul. A lightweight GameBoy, this double player console felt very fake for someone who has the original game boy years ago. Either way, this game boy still bring me lots of joy as it has 400 inbuilt games and it comes with this external gamepad. Additionally, you can plug into the TV to enlarge your screen. Although you have to try multiple 'holes' at the back of the TV to see which is the correct one - the colour of the wires are not accurate - it is still exciting to see the enlarged version of the games. The buttons are a bit hard to press but it is still a very fun activity to do during date night.
An old woman's paradise
Electric Cervical Neck Massager a shocking revelation. It comes with 2 gel pads that I have yet to try. The cervical neck massager, on the other hand, was shockingly good. Initially, I thought it looked small but this time, looks are lies. It fitted snuggly on my neck and gave me strong acupuncture. There are different modes and different strength on this thing. The metal thing can irritate your neck after some time but as recommended in the manual, you should wet your neck when you use so that it doesn't irritate as much (not tried, not test, don't quote me on this). This is indeed an old woman's paradise for it helps release the tensions on my neck.
That's my unprofessional views on these electronics. With that, here's a discount code for you.
