Review: BudgetGadgets.com

From time to time I get the chance to review products and services, and so far I’ve never had a better experience than I’ve had with BudgetGadgets. BudgetGadgets.com is an amazing find for anyone who loves fun, quirky little electronic gadgets for your PC, iPhone, Camera – whatever you can think of.

They sent me a couple of their products so that I could test them out and jot down my results, so here goes. First up is Hello Kitty Shape Portable USB Cooler Fan KF-500, which showed up a few days ago and I thought I’d take a bit of time to not only test it out, but test it’s durability.

First of all, it’s packaging was fabulous. It came new in it’s box in a protected envalope that arrived extremely quickly (have I mentioned that even if I’d bought these items, my shipping would have been FREE? That’s right, they offer free shipping, how cool is that!?). This fan comes with a USB cord to plug right into your PC’s USB port and it also takes batteries:

I’ve had it hooked up and using it for several days. Well, I work 16 hours a day during the best of circumstances, and it’s very hot and humid here, so the fan has been working over time and it hasn’t cracked, chipped, it hasn’t quit working, it doesn’t conk out at all. It’s price is great, too, it’s less than $6 to get this cute little fan brand new! In fact, I think the only issues I’ve got with it are that it only has one speed setting and it’s a bit on the loud side, but the fan noise isn’t at all annoying so it hasn’t bothered me much. Great little gadget to have!

Now onto the next gadget. It’s the Mini Microphone Recorder for iPhone 3G/iPod NANO 4/Touch 2, and it’s exactly like what it sounds like it is. This little gadget is a pill-sized microphone for your iPod or similarly styled recorder-equipped media player. It came, just like the other gadget, brand new in it’s package and well packed for shipping. Arrived extremely quickly!

My MP4 player is a generic Rockchip player with a sound recorder, and I didn’t know if it would work with the Mini Mic but it did! I don’t know the mechanics of how it works, but it definitely made the the sound of my voice crisper, clearer and louder. I don’t think I have any issues with this at all, it’s a steal at under $3!

Overall the BudgetGadgets.com is a great site! It’s extremely easy to use, the customer service is SO friendly and helpful, the shipping is fast and free and the gadgets they offer are fun and very useful! Plus the prices are great, too!

I’m definitely going to be buying from them sometime in the future. They’ve got a lot of great gadgets there that I’m already in love with!
