Target is a great supplier of a bunch of things that you'll leave at home and never touch again after 5 minutes because you realize they looked good on the shelf but you don't really need them. But today we will look at restored equipment. Target refurbishes used items, so they offer me several categories. Target Certified Refurbished products are branded items refurbished by expert partners and come with a This is actually quite interesting. They also have manufacturer refurbished items, which is different and does not have a 6 month warranty. And there are also used goods that look like new and clean.
Vizio, but they spell it as Vizio with zeros instead of "o". What is this, Leetspeak from 2011? Actually, I would like to try this, but it doesn't say anywhere that it is a refurbished product. They even offer a Ninja Creami Deluxe, refurbished by the manufacturer. Oh, but this. this is not the deluxe version. This is Ninja Creamy Deluxe. Oh, this is Target. We pretend to be rich. Okay, Switch, refurbished by manufacturer 232 Inc. What is 232 Inc? When they say " manufacturer refurbished," I understand that as, you know, Nintendo. This is the newest iPad Mini, which is again certified as perfectly refurbished. By the way, this one is actually pretty good, it's a small portable
Acer monitor. This one has just been restored by the manufacturer Acer itself. I trust this more than some random 9000 company that just resells nonsense. I have a few questions, and the only way to answer them is to give Target a large sum of money in exchange for goods and/or services. I completely believe in Target. At least one of us. Well, my friends. Let's see what we got from Target. First up is a product that I'm not entirely convinced has been refurbished at all At least, judging by the description, it looked brand new. Oh, yes, of course, it's brand new.
Look, I mean, I should be happy, but why was this one of the first things I saw in the damn refurbished section? So, this is MSB 16. None of those numbers or letters were what I was buying. It is wireless. Oh, wireless. And they wrote " wireless" twice. Okay. The so-called "original" price of this product was $300. This is all a complete lie. Every part of this is just a lie. My God, it really says " enjoy life with music." Oh, that's so creepy. This is so They don't seem cheap at all. Oh. That is, wait. Stop, stop. I was going to say something nice.
Can you quickly get me up to speed? How much did we pay for them? We paid 50. So, uh, forget it. Now I take back my words. I thought, "Oh, for 20 bucks, that's not bad." Do they look normal in the frame? Uh -huh. Oh, wait. What the.I understand that this part of my ear is open, but all the pressure is right here. This is terrible. This gives me a headache after 5 minutes. And I forgot, we still have a microphone. Gaming microphone Let's try this thing. Fool. Oh my god, this is just horrible. Sounds like AM radio. I'm just Open headphones have a slight problem with bass because there is no isolation, but it's not that there is not enough bass. They are not here at all.
They sound bad, they are incredibly uncomfortable. They are actually just awful. Take them away from here. Get out of here. Okay, this is something we seem to have signed up for at a good price. This must be the Lenovo we bought. And the strange thing was that we searched and found it for somewhere around 400 bucks or so. But before buying, I searched again and found the same item much cheaper. We paid 350 or something for it. 378. Same seller, same product, and it was 50 or 60 bucks cheaper. Well, okay . Well, a lot of packing material. Sorry. Can you give me more.see? I'm going to take it out of the box. See? Do you see this? Does this look like a smooth and whole thing? Oh no.
You could say it suffered a little. Maybe you should have used foam instead of just air bags to pack your large and heavy all-in-one. The video doesn't start off in the best way. What should I do now? Oh, yes. This is definitely not factory condition. What kind of disgusting strange mouse is this? This is a Yolovo mouse. Shipped and sold through Buy Refurbished. And they claimed it was in excellent condition. Oh, maybe it was like that before it happened. Oh, she's working. Yes. That's it. This is a miniature.
, Target, it doesn't look great. Okay, I think it's time to lighten up a bit. Mostly mine, because I'm a grumpy guy. What makes me happiest on this beautiful green earth? They are out there somewhere. They are definitely out there somewhere. This is, in fact, the best console ever created by human hands. Oh my God, what's up, Vectrex? Nintendo Switch Lite. It's not even in the top ten. I've finally gotten off the Switch Lite train. The Switch 2 is simply better, and I, I, I get that. Now everything has become huge.
Nobody needs a damn 7, 8, or 9-inch console when 5 inches is plenty, it's convenient and portable, and I don't have to lug it around all the time So this was restored by someone from a third party seller, right? It was. No, it's actually.it's actually a Okay, Switch, refurbished by the manufacturer by 232 Inc. What is 232 Inc? I hope they actually got a manufacturer refurbished one. So, bro, this.this is a brand new Switch. You can look at the plastic of the buttons, which may turn a little yellow over time. Even on plastic.you can almost hear it. We'll launch it, make sure it works. But this looks like a brand new Switch Lite. Okay, my heart feels better. The beginning was
difficult. I mean, this shouldn't be a surprise. It seems to start without any problems. Look at this. I used to say I'm not a fan of turquoise, but if you've been watching the channel for a long time, you know I have a real sick perverted love, Oh my God. which I like the most, the Switch Lite. I would also say that it is quite amenable to modifications. We recently made a video where we took an old, beat-up Switch Lite and replaced the case. We installed a real OLED there. If I were to criticize the Switch Lite, I would say that you certainly won't be able to play Switch 2 games. The screen here, while I like the size, isn't the best. He is normal. This thing used to cost $200. The current suggested retail price seems to be $230. But let me tell you, we
paid less than $230 for this almost-new Switch Lite. We paid $185. That's pretty good. bucks. Dude, you know what you can do with 45 bucks? I won't tell you. But I will say that I have an extra $45 in my pocket, not counting all the money I just burned along with other broken and discarded junk. Like. So now that we're officially back, let's continue, friends. This should be one of our refurbished items, theoretically, I hope. They were, well, not very accurate. So, this is in the original Soundcore packaging. Okay, that's good. They say it's sold and shipped by Anker. Apparently, if they're the ones doing the restoration, they just have the original boxes. So, these are the Q 20 i, wireless noise-canceling headphones.
They cost about 70 bucks new. So it's worth tempering your expectations a bit. Oh, and it, yeah, looks like new, man. It smells clean. So, there are a few small scratches on the plastic. If you're annoyed by scratches like this, then I'm not sure you're watching the right video. We've already gotten rid of everything bad. Yes, yes, yes. Now let's move on to the good. Everything is fine. Yes, yes, yes. That's exactly what I planned. You know what? They are actually quite comfortable. They really.these ear pads are almost too soft. They look pretty decent. Yes. A. This is a transparency regime. It doesn't sound very good, but it's probably better than nothing.
Noise cancellation is on. I mean, it's about what you'd expect from $70 headphones. The real test-how do they sound? Doesn't sound incredible, right? Overall, they can be described as quite acceptable. They are not the clearest in the world, there is a bit of "muddy" in the sound. For 70 bucks, it's quite reasonable. Assembled quite well. I think they look pretty decent. But they weren't bought new at full price, we got them refurbished for the low, low price of $26. Yes, this is possibly one of our best deals. Less than 30 bucks?
Brother. Oh, oh. Oh my god, is that the Target logo? Is this actually, honestly, a product that Target sold, and not just put on the marketplace for some random sellers? So this is the iPad that we purchased, and it's a refurbished Target, right? This is a Oh, of course, I feel much better now. The iPad isn't wobbling, it's the cable and everything else underneath it. Your device is covered by a 6-month warranty from the date of purchase. This is one of the benefits of At the time of this video recording, this is the most current version of the iPad Mini, although this may change.
This model has a newer processor, supports Apple Intelligence, and more. I must say it is in fantastic condition. This is logical, because in addition to the Target certification, we received the "excellent condition" category. The only problem with this iPad is the "jelly" effect of the screen. It's not critical, but you may notice a jelly effect when scrolling. Another caveat: the price of the iPad Mini has actually increased. The iPad Mini originally cost $500. The recommended price is now $600, right? Yes, that's right. I've tried using the iPad Mini as a small laptop many times. It's so tiny, especially if you get the 5G version. If I connect a keyboard, I want to use the iPad
as a real laptop. But if there is no keyboard and you just use the touch screen, it is much more convenient. I think, "God, I just want to use it again." And then I start to get annoyed again. And yes, there is an A17 Pro processor here. Can we check the battery status? No, right? This was previously not possible on the iPad, but it seems that newer models now allow it. Number of cycles 3, capacity 100%. The rear camera is so-so, but the front camera is very wide-angle. Look at this. Please do not use the iPad camera to take pictures of anything. Are you saying I shouldn't take out my iPad at the Grand Canyon to take a photo?
My nose almost touches the screen, and I'm still in the frame. How much did we pay for the Apple iPad Mini with the A17 Pro processor? We paid $450. I think that's not bad. Considering its condition, which is quite good. He is simply fantastic. It looks like new. This is an ideal option. I think we did pretty well We're doing pretty well here. Next, we should have another professionally restored product. No third-party services there. This came straight from Acer, didn't it? That's right, exactly. So, this must be, as I
see a bunch of cables, a portable monitor. This is one of their portable USB-C monitors, which I just realized is much larger than I thought. You see, there's a sticker here saying it's Acer certified. Dude, he looks like someone cut his head off. Oh, so it has an origami stand to put it on like this? No, is that so? No. Yeah, no, not like that. This is not a joke. I do n't understand this. Oh, I did it. Yes. No. Oh, that's actually a stupid stand. I don't like it. So, you just. There's no normal bend here.
Let's connect it to our iPad. iPad Mini supports full video output. Hey, it works. Typically, such USB-C monitors can be connected to power, and probably should be, but they get both video and power from your device. Are you trying to say I shouldn't take it out to the Grand Canyon with my iPad? Good, good, good, good, good. The problem is that the brightness is stuck at 30% because the iPad isn't putting out enough power, but if I plugged it in through the hub, it would get brighter. It looks like it's , well, 1080p, 60 hertz? Aha. This may not seem like much, but I picked it up because as a refurbished product from Acer, we paid $36. Is that true? That's pretty good. This is also pretty good.
Maybe it's not really worth 100 bucks. It's still probably a display for somewhere around $80. I feel great. Someone, stop me. Is it time yet? Oh, brother, it's time. Yes. I want it on record: it was Alex's idea. So, this is Ninja. Aha. Creamy. Yes. Deluxe. Swirl. Essentially, it's an ice cream machine. The idea of making your own soft serve ice cream at home seems great until I remember that there 's a Baskin-Robbins you can just go to. No, but you can make your own. So, like, you know, if you want. This is not attractive.
Oh, yes. He is so big. This is one of those things where it says the item is refurbished by the manufacturer, but is sold by Beach Camera. I'm not a big fan of reading instructions, but in this case, Alex, could you please follow the instructions, read the rules, and set everything up? Okay, of course. Cooking with Austin". I'm your host, Austin. Today I'm going to share how to make ice cream with ingredients I bought at Target to match the brand. I almost bought powdered sugar. I didn't do it.
Technically, we could do it. We would have gone to jail. You're subscribed to " Consumption with Austin," right? Was n't that a disease in the 1700s? We'll take 3 ounces, that's 3 ounces of sugar. I said half, I said half. This is too much. I said half. Prepare to consume, my friends Oh well, 7.5 ounces seems like enough. Of course, of course. I just love the light of this, how small it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. You know what? Of course. See you tomorrow, friends, when this potion is ready. Why did you do that, seriously? Well, who wants ice cream?
I want. We're all screaming about ice cream. So, it was in the freezer for a full 24 hours. It seems to rise in It flashes, as if it is setting. What did I set up wrong? Maybe I'll find out why it was restored. Oh, it was restored. What if I use my finger and just twist it hard? What part of this even works? This is not What even worked before this? I just want some ice cream. Is that too much to ask? So, we spent a whole 20 minutes trying to get this to work. Okay, it works.
It seems. What? I mean, I was ready. Oh, it still works. This thing is very loud. It all looks white. Hello, kettle. I guess I'll see you in 4 minutes. Finally, it's time to taste some soft serve ice cream. If we did n't have a spiralizer, I would eat this right here in front of you. But actually we have the whole second part, the spiral part. She is leaving. You, you, you fill up, you use the whole jar. It's actually very nice. It takes a lot of effort, but you can just buy ice cream. However, if you don't want to be like everyone else who buys ice cream at the store instead of getting it from the
source, then you should, I don't know, buy a refurbished appliance at Target. Thank you very much for watching. Subscribe to the channel, click that bell and stay with us. You never know when I'll show up near you and terrorize another ice cream shop. Oh , my head is frozen. AND! Ai!
