Friday's episode of The Man Show Live featured a PLAYZ Piano made for kids.
Our overall opinion of the PLAYZ Piano was that it was a bit simple for kids over 5 years old and maybe not dynamic enough for kids to learn about electronics.
It was one of the more expensive toys during STEM week at around $35 which could have bought a little more education in other items.
The white keys did play, but the black keys were only part of the case and decoration only, so as far as a piano, it missed the mark and is not a good learning tool for music.
It can be a fun toy for a 3 year old, but at that age, the chance of them wiring it up is slim.
We could not really find any good points about the PLAYZ Electric Piano, in fact we all agreed that it was going to keep a kid busy for about one day and they would never use it again.
If you are considering buying the piano, look at throwing a couple extra bucks in and getting an actual keyboard for under $50 that plays like the real thing.
If you want your kids to learn about electronics, this wont do much, wont let them be too creative and why did they mix a piano with electronics? Your guess is as good as ours.
We did get it to play and I am sure you could make some unique sounds but any keyboard can do that.
We found the keyboard below online for $20 which is a real keyboard and would be a much better investment in teaching kids music.
As for electronics at the same $35 price point, you can get multiple electronic projects that would be much more fulfilling for children like the kits shown below.
It is always important to remember that kids need to be challenged and stimulated. But they get stimulated from being successful, not from easy simple toys that bore them after a couple hours.
Both of the suggestions we mentioned were no more expensive than the PLAYZ Piano and would keep children busy for days on end as they learn and build day after day on what they learned the day before.
We thought the piano was going to be cool, it was not. It was marketed under the premise of STEM, but parents should not look for items that say they are STEM, because STEM is part of every day life and every day projects can be found cheaper.
Our best advice is to buy kits that let kids build their own toys, so when they complete it, they have a sense of accomplishment and pride when they play with it.
Reviewing the $45 NutriChef Air Fryer Roaster Oven, Bake, Grill, Steam, Broil, Roaster with Beer! The live show today kicks off with an Air Fryer that retails for just $45 and uses the older design of a glass dish allowing you t see the food cooking. This design was out long before these devices were called "Air Fryers" they were called cyclonic cooking action, but for today's brain dead millennials that would be way too much to say or understand. So they simplified it to Air Fryer. Unfortunately for millennials this does not come with an app or the ability to order via Uber Eats. You are going to have to cook something yourself with this device. But fear not, the guys show you how to heat up leftovers, cook raw food and mix fish with chicken in the same oven. Overall, this device was the best reviewed so ...read more

$17 Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a man size meal? Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a REAL MAN? Our first impression was that it was small. But that may be the best part, portable, does not take up much space and in the end, it did cook a man size portion. One man at least. The cons were, too shallow, no temperature control and that the handle needed to be assembled from 3 parts which is something some men wont be able to do. Mr Dog Poop cooks sausage chili made with Italian sausage, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and kidney beans. It is a struggle to get all the ingredients into the shallow pan but in the end, keeping in a heaping pile did work. Once that finished, he attempted a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Jeff cooks ...read more
Sucking Shit Through A Life Straw >Click Here to Watch This Episode on YouTube< Beer, Whisky and Dog Poop through a Life Straw? Will pure water come out?

The guys run the life straw, a supposed survival tool through a battery of tests including drinking urine, blood, beer, whisky and even dog poop.

They taste like the plastic they are supposed to protect you from, you can taste all the fluids ...read more
