IN OTHER NEWS: Thrift Haul No 227:Today's thrifting run was productive but a wee bit more expensive than usual.
Picked this up for $55 brand-new in sealed box as it had a huge hole in the side of the carton; very careful inspection with my flashlight showed no damage, so I took a chance on it. This thing is supposed to like do EVERYTHING; Dehydrator, Convection oven, Toaster Oven, Air Fryer... even proofing bread! It's sortof like those ovens at Subway that toast your sandwich in 30 seconds, only for the home. Since I'd been shopping air fryers already, I decided that was little enough $$ to take the plunge.
My first test was on some cold pizza; quartz IR tube heating elements are glowing orange in like 10 seconds, and it has 2 each top & bottom. I'm still experimenting to find exact settings, but in Air Fryer mode it crisps up/rebrowns 3 slices of pizza in ~3 minutes just perfectly; that's less than half the time it takes in the oven. Overall, the general feel of the thing is "very nice toaster oven". I'm totes down widdat.
Logitech K850 Bluetooth KB & mouse; totes a no-brainer for $12. IIRC, this model is supposed to washable under running water.
Acer ES1-512-C1PW laptop; also a no-brainer for $30. N2840 CPU/4GB RAM/500GB HDD; only visible fault is locked account and 2 missing keys. Even booted from battery. Depending on cost of RAM/SSD, may just be a quick flip arbitrage purchase.
Intuos CTL-4100 Drawing pad. Still supported on both Mac & PC. Looks like it may need a new nib; I may still have some from my old HP PADD which also used a Wacom stylus.
And finally... What's better than
Mandingo Fan 200 for 6 dollars...? 2 more for $8 each. Sadly, this was not a half-price day.
No, I still have no idea what I'm going to do with them. I think I may have a fan fetish...
