Scribe Product Review

"'Scribe' Product - Study Where You Sleep"
Is this one of those tough to sell items? Probably...how many people are out in the stores or even online looking for a "modular mobile desk?" In my opinion, not many. The market is small - just another thing to lug around or hide in your closet. People seem to manage without one.


Scribe's design is cool. Yes, I agree - the makeup of this product is fine. Scribe demonstrates how to use this device as a multi-functional tool for a dorm room, bed room, etc. Nonetheless, is it needed?


Here's the other kicker, Scribe is at a price point of $34.99. Hmmm. Fair? Probably, but once again the market needs something more. This is nothing new nor is it anything everyone desires. Let's put it down to $24.99 and I think we have a deal.



Folks, this is a product review not some yippee kai yay tickle party. I'm not a fan of this product. I'm not a fan of its price point. I'm not a fan of its lackluster functionality. Unfortunately I have to give Scribe a thumbs down.

Broom Groom Product Review

"'Broom Groom' Product - A Sweeping Improvement in Dustpans"
Everyone hates the nasty, icky dust balls that crust onto the ends of brooms. It's just not right. Well let's make it right with Quirky's Broom Groom product! Let's add one simple function to the dustpan and boom - we have lift off! (Literally)


Broom Groom has a great design but does it have great appeal? The aesthetics are fine - I'm not talking about that - I'm talking about the quality of the product - the resources used. Personally, I like those wicker brooms - they seem to be more sturdy and last longer. The plastic, bristley brooms are normally cheap & fall apart easily. Maybe add a new Broom Groom design using wicker broom & metal dustpan? I think that would solve a lot of the issues that face this product. (Don't make the quality of this product cheap) 


Sure $11.99 fits this product: it's cheap. Let's get a real broom & dustpan on the market and see how well it does. Sell a wicker broom with the metal pan at $24.99 or even $29.99 and then you have a product! Don't get me wrong the design is fabulous, let's just work on the materials.

 
Broom Groom is a great product, honestly. If you hate working around dustballs, well, buy this and shake em off! Don't get crusty and old with your broom, upgrade & feel new & clean!

Converge Product Review

"'Converge' Product - Rest and Recharge"
Jin Chai placed this product into Quirky with confidence. The original product design was named & looked more like a row of ducks connected together to charge different Apple devices. I would go to say that - now - it is a lot more simple, which is more effective.


Converge has an excellent design! Extremely sleek & molded. Imagine a home for your ipad, iphone, android, digital camera, etc. - where you can easily charge the devices via USB or directly connect & upload photos, videos, etc. Also, take away all that crazy tangle-age of the USB cords - what nightmare - NOW GONE! Yipee!



Converge is priced at $39.99, which is fine - considering it easily manages all of your USB overflow and intelligently & "sleekly" provides a home for all of your devices. The price is definitely efficient and most understanding.


Well done design team! Way to pull through and develop a product for electronic devices for charging and "resting." I am more than proud to show off my Converge next to my sleek Apple products. Fits right in!

Tether Product Review

"'Tether' Product - Save Your Stemware"
What an easy product that can save you money. Unfortunately wine glasses break all the time - but why not add some insurance while cleaning them in the dishwasher? Tether comes in a pack of four and definitely holds on tight!


Tether, a wine glass holder for the dishwasher, finds a way to clasp on to your wire dishwasher system. Each Tether is approximately 7" long and slides down onto the wires and grips around your wine glasses. "KISS" - Keep it simple stupid - yes, it does.


Tether sells for $12.99 a pack - including 4 Tethers to hold your wine glasses. Really, I don't see anyone buying more than one or two packs. So for let's say two packs - $26.00 - you are able to add insurance to your favorite wine glasses. Maybe they are your wedding wine glasses - yes - well worth the $12.99!


You buy insurance everywhere in life - health, car, house, etc. - why not buy wine glass insurance. Have a safety net for the dishwasher. Make sure you are prepared for the turbulent times! Harr harr harr. Functionality is on par. A great Mother's Day or Father's Day gift!
