I've never bought a single item James has reviewed but I watch all his videos lol
me to, to ad to this , i´m from Portugal, and most of the items are not sold here.
I actually bought the his favorite popcorn popper and I love it. I have been looking for the microwave hot dog cooker and I haven't been able to find one yet. Some companies rebrand it and start selling it again just going to keep my eye out.
I bought the microwave bowl cloth on aliexpress thanks to him and I absolutely love it
Same but I do get good data points from channels like this and Project Farm
I've gotten a few things that he reviewed.
I agree, not that great for space saving but would be fantastic for keeping outfits together (my thought when I saw that first hanger go over, like when you buy an outfit in a store sold as 1 piece).
This is exactly what I thought when i saw him use it.
Good idea.
yeah I can see that as being the more optimal way to use it
Just noticed the little easter egg that all your videos this year end with 22 seconds, and all your vids from last year end with 21 seconds. Good job!
Not many people have noticed that but I'm glad you did! It's not always easy to edit a video to the exact same second every time!
@@Freakinreviews - Impressive, James, you rock!
@@Freakinreviews madlad!
For me, it says the video is 9:21.
@@astroturfmatador9119 same!
Thanks! You're my go-to source for product reviews!
Nothing can help me organize my closet if my husband keeps throwing shit in there willy nilly lol
I don't think an As Seen on TV gadget has been invented for that YET!
@@Freakinreviews 🤣🤣
I feel your pain. The struggle is real! 🤣
a divorce could help
@@SvobodovaEva oh for sure, I'm gonna divorce him over his lack of closet etiquette, totally reasonable. 👌🙄
Hi Jim, my problem was never with " closet space" per se, but "rod space"... i only had so much real estate for the darn hangers themselves. this guts it down by 66% which is pretty awesome.
Most closets are only as wide as the rod. At least closets owned by "normal" people...the kind of people that are concerned with not having enough space.
Does it work for pants?
Congrats on 700K
Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥
I literally saw these yesterday and contemplated getting them for a good couple minutes. Glad I resisted the urge.
Crazy man! Every time your video starts, I begin to type in the comments about a product just like it and then all of a sudden boom you’re there with the old product Going back in time like a boss
I agree it doesn’t really save much space (maybe a little bit), but the Wonder Hanger Max is so good for organizing. I use them everyday for all my clothes!
The hangers didn't really impress me, but the Tee Shirt collection was divine. I am very jealous.🤩
Happy thanksgiving James, I’m thankful for your videos and being a subscriber since the beginning.
The problem with all these space saving designs is that when they are all bunched together, it's difficult to see the clothes. If you have enough clothes squished together, you would have to part them to see what you are looking at. If you have enough space to part them, then do you really need space saving products? lol
I was thinking this product would be a great way to store winter clothes in the summer, and summer clothes in the winter. Then, you would save closet space, and it wouldn't matter that you can't see the clothes.
@@hamsterama Yeah but why would you want to use closet space for clothes that you won't be using until the next season? Isn't it better to just store them in a tote box? Why use your closet space for something you won't need until next season?
@@OS10100 Well....I am definitely guilty of storing out of season clothes in the closet! Specifically, my nicer business casual blouses that I wear to work. I like to leave them hung up year-round so they don't get wrinkles. I hate ironing so much. I would dread having to iron all my blouses when the season changes. Placing all my clothes in a tote box would mean I would have to fold them, which would lead to wrinkles.
@@hamsterama Yeah that's fine. I hate ironing too. But if closet space is a factor, then comprises need to be made. Otherwise, by all means leave them in the closet year round if space is a non issue for you. Keep in mind that the clothes tend to smell a bit funky when left in the closet long periods of time due to moisture, humidity etc. I'd rather have fresh smelling clothes and iron them after washing than to wear something that smells weird. lol
@@OS10100 I don't have a problem with funky smelling closets, though I'm aware plenty of people do. I live in a house built in the 1950's. Hardwood floors, plaster walls, and none of the closets back to an outside wall. So, that might be why I never get any odd smells. Closet space isn't an issue for me yet, but it almost is! I may reach a point soon where I will have to store out of season clothes in plastic totes, but I'm not there yet. I buy nearly all my clothes at thrift store, so those low prices make it all-too-easy to accumulate a lot of clothes.
Those "dollar store" hangers I hate because of the hooks on each side (for items with straps). They ruin regular shirts when the collars get caught in them.
i agree! they ruin clothes that don't have straps - like t-shirts!
I use the Wonder Hanger max and they're great. I have my clothes divided by seasons. So for instance at the end of summer I can slip a clothing bag over all the clothes on a Wonder Hanger and just zip up. There, done, all stored without taking the hanger off or worrying about anything falling down.

James…you never disappoint me at all love all your videos sometimes I just watch the play list and listening to your tests and opinions
I don't get why they still haven't made a home version of those fancy conveyor they use at dry cleaners. Can at least double to triple stack those depending on height of your ceiling.
it needs space to go into if you mean the kind that takes the shirts out of sight ? in booming 50's I think some homes had them. big homes now have just walk in closets.
@@lasskinn474 Yup, your average closet is not deep enough for all the clothes to rotate around without getting all bunched up.
That would rule!
I was just looking for reviews on this and found your channel. I immediately subscribed Ausome reviews and very detailed. You just saved me some money which is SOOO appreciated.
I found out that hanging 2 items no more than 3 will give the best results. I didn't use that brand and my closet has a 3.5 ft rod on the right and left.
I use the Wonder Hanger Max and it definitely saves space, but the effect isn't clear unless other clothes are pressing against it. I'd say it takes up 1/2 - 2/3 the space dollar store hangers would.
Hanging shirts takes forever, geat review. Your reviews on Amazon must be AMAZING 🤩
James, you need to quickly design and patent a clothes hanger with a built in Ruby Space Triangle style hook, and name it Freakin' Hangers 😆
I have a version of the wonder hanger. Since my new has a a tiny closet. I put my satin puffy hanger sweaters on it and compress the velvet hangers. I fit about twice as much in the closet.
Thank you for your video!! I was just about to buy some of these, but.... Then I thought wait a minute, I want to check & see if my favorite KZhead Product Reviewer, James has a review on these! And, of course he does! Yay! (& thank you for saving me the time & money not being wasted on buying this product! 🙏🌹) Also, based on your review I actually think the "Space Saving hangers" are the over-all better ones! I hadn't ever heard of them before.... Thank you for that part too! 👏 Appreciate it! 👍 God bless you sir! 🙏🙌😇💖
Having 3 times the space means that you saved 66%, pretty close to the 70%... if it really is 70% then I could see why they didn't want to say 3.1 times as much space.
thanks, James. I have very limited closet space so always interested in these types of gadgets. Maybe in some cases?
I saw these and wondered about the width at the bottom. That is where the bulk is. Thank you for doing this review
I do wish you had compared the ruby triangles to the item you bought from ali express. It would be interesting to see how it "stacked" up, since the ali express item can hold clothes on two sides as compared to one. I almost thought the ruby triangles were a good idea, but when you look at trying to grab a shirt that is in the middle, it feels like an inconvenience. When you also look at the cost of the ruby triangles and how much space they really aren't saving, I'm not sure I would want them. I have stuff on the floor below my clothes, so I don't think I can fit 5 shirts on one line.
I don't think you addressed this, but the Wonder hangers look so much easier to load and unload individual items. In fact, I've been using them (not necessarily that brand) for years, and that's one of their strengths (as long as you have room to expand them). After watching your video, I wouldn't even bother trying the Ruby Triangles as a potential alternative, because it looks like a PITA to get items in the middle, or to even see what's in the middle.
I think collared shirts would show a better savings overall. T-shirts are about the same thickness from top to bottom. Collared shirts are thicker at the top.
You did a perfect review and intelligent analysis.
James is the goto guy for sure - I enjoy every review, even for things I'm not going to buy.
I think these would be great for retail; hanging shirts to sell in a confined booth. I don’t sell shirts, but think these would be great to help display other crafts that can be hung off of hangers, like ornaments or purses…
I've always loved thet you bring stuff back to make actual comparisons between the products. Love your vids.
i've always thought the same thing when i saw this type of gadget, or some variety thats been around in some form for years. i think they even had some form of them in the 80's, i remember my mom had some. they didn't work back then and they keep trying to improve them but don't seem to
Just feel like these would annoy me and make it harder to find a shirt I wanna wear lol. My cat likes to sleep in my closet too, she wouldn't be happy if the clothes got lower lol
Yeah, for sure, I wouldn't want to fumble around with these at 5:30 am getting ready for work. I have enough hassle with regular hangers that early.
😻👍
I do something similar us in the rings from pull top cans. When I go through my closet I can see four shirts at once and then the next four and so on. Pants too.
Ruby triangle 🔺️ huh? Sounds and looks like something off the mothership....👽 Happy Monday James and Happy Thanksgiving 😊
Can you do reviews of the electronics you plug in to: A. clear your house of pests B. reduce your electric bill? Whatever you review next, keep 'em coming.
I think this would be a lot better if they made an "ultra thin" and a "thick" model but I think you could get the same effect with small rubber bands that you can get 1000 of for a tenner.
Thank you I wanted to know if this worked with the thicker hangers instead of metal ones so this video was a huge help for me thank you
I have a ton of those velvet hangers and I really like them. They save a lot of space, but my problem is that I have too many clothes. Ha ha... Great video! I loved it!
I can tell you always go the extra mile when reviewing these products but doing the math for space saving with all the configurations must have been incredibly tedious. Hats off to you for putting yourself through that.
I use tabs from soda cans. They're free and they work great.
for a t shirt or dress shirt they might work but for a sport coat or any other jacket i dont think so, maybe where you live you might have one winter coat but where i live i have a whole closet full, im pretty sure if the coats are full length or a dress you can only go so far before there on the floor. and last every shirt you hang means less floor space
A lot of us have stuff stored at the bottom of our closets so there is only so far we can cascade our shirts downward.
Yep - this is my,situation. I have those hangars with the hooks at each and % you,place hangars and then release one hook - personally,I really like these for,some,places in my closet (husband has his own closet!!)
Also depends on how strong the rod, hooks, the shelf and stuff can hold too, I certainly do not want any of that to rip from the wall 😅
Just T- shirts? How about bulky items? Suits, coats, sweaters? And the lower you go with the hangers means you can store less and less on the floor of the closet. A stack of shoe boxes? Probably not.
Congrats on 700k subs
Does it save space at the top, where other things are hung, like pants, it random things we put on hangers? Just wondering if the wider part, towards the bottom, if that is below where other stuff hangs? If you have just shirts in your closets......? Just a thought.
Yikes congratulations on 700k amazing sub count but you deserve it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. ⭐⭐🤗🤗🥰🥰
I do the same thing using the rings off of pull top cans and they're free. They don't work for plastic hangers, but I don't use those because they're slippery.
Very detailed video
Thank you for your videos.
Please do a review on the PowerXL Air Fryer Grill
(Echoy movie trailer voice): Space Triangles! Coming to a closet near you, rated R for relative 😄 I think James is right, it's more of an optical illusion than a space saver. When he squished them, it wasn't much different at the bottom. They basically just do the "squishing" for you 😀
I had a closet bar drop from the weight of my clothes on standard hangers. I'd be worried about putting too much weight... I still had room when my bar dropped. I just had a lot of heavier items. Those space saver things woulda only made it drop faster I'm guessing. I suppose if you're hanging lighter clothing it may work well. Just a thought. I'm not sure if many people think of how heavy some clothes are. For context. I had an actual bar, property installed with anchors... It wasn't an easy repair as it left big holes where the bar was hung
Old school hack that does the same for free: aluminum can pull tabs looped over department store plastic hangers. Place the tab over the top hanger hook and loop the next hanger hook through the bottom hole in the tab
I don't know what I'll get when I watch these videos but I know I'll get a smile Cheers from Ohio
I may be missing the point here but, I don't know if it matters much if you're not saving space at the bottom. Say you've got some triangles spaced close at the top and some regulars you want to add. The bottom won't affect the regular hangers, will it?
Seems that if they made them in a thin and thick part that hangs on the hook of the hanger for the felt hanger and thick for the plastic it would be worth the space saving since they actually hold the felt hangers farther away from each other.
i agree with your point at 8:58; these could be used to hold a set of matching tops and bottoms together... would be too much of a headache for someone like me, who puts the bare minimum of effort into wearing clothes
Hanging like that your shirts will end up on the floor, could you hang them on the underside of the hanger inside the loop or would they end up sliding off ? Perhaps a little foam tape on the hanger to stop it sliding and reduce the drop by 3-4in per hanger ?
Coincidence or not, I watched a video just today on how to do the exact same thing... with zip/cable ties. :P
I could imagine that shirts hung in the middle of each set of five would be impossible to find, and would also be a wrinkled mess when you do get it out. Any closet accessory that makes clothes look worse is a "never" gadget for me.
When a 3D printed part can be sold as an asset on TV product.
I've been using the ring pulls from soda and tinned foods for nothing, and the length of my wardrobe only allows for 2 garments to be hung together before the lower is touching the base of wardrobe.
My issue is that I select by color and sleeve length and I can't see the bottom ones. Also, when you remove a shirt, you have to go through the system of removing the hanger and re-hanging the others or you'll run out of hangers.
Best reviews on KZhead
Hey FR - so I invented a thermal tumbler I’d love for you to run through the ringer. It’s only a prototype but you could give some great insight if you gave it a review! What you think, can I send it?
It looked like, possibly, when you tried your two regular plastic hangers to see if you could hang them off of each other... and the top slid off... it looked liked if you were to turn the hanger hook the other way it would hold. In other words alternate the hook direction? Maybe? That said, thanks for the video :)
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂 😊
Perhaps if you alternate how the ruby space savers, and the same with the other techniques, you actually save some more space. Just a random thought on another testing method.
I was referring to the Wonder Hangars in my original post!
The problem with products like these is if you use velvet or space saving hangers, the weight of the extra items can literally pull the hanger apart from the chrome hook. Probably not as much of an issue with plastic hangers but I've broken both plastic and velvet hangers by using products like this.
I use soda can tabs, on per hanger with the space saver hangers. I can get 10 shirts in about 4 inches of space with about an inch less at the bottom than you got. Not too much savings either way, BUT, the pop tops come with whatever you’re drinking so they’re a bonus🤣🤣🤣
Damn, saw a commercial for a new product wanted to suggest. Forgot it though
i´m from Portugal, and even most products are not sold here, i like to know what i should look for in a product
The good news is that the bottom parts should be a bit squishier when using the Ruby’s, but I don’t think it will look very nice in a full closet. It seems that it would be best just to use the velvet hangers for space saving, even if it’s annoying trying to take off the shirts because those damn hangers like to grab on to them more than the plastic ones, lol.
Bed Bath and Beyond sells a 10 pack of hangers with little hooks on them for about $10 I use those in my closet and they work perfectly Save a ton of money and use a coupon at BBB
"Up here we have a miniscule 4". HEY! Thats pretty big, actually!
Just use the tap part from soda or beer can - it won't add volume like those triangles and costs nill. I won't bother either way though myself😄
What about key rings? I'm trying those because I had a ton.
Let's face facts. Americans have too much stuff. Know how to save space and get more organized? Get rid of the excess stuff. Love your videos!
It's on my tv right now
I hope this turns out to work well, I was just talking about needing something like this.
Nothing like your old bread and butter. As Seen On TV Products.
I don't know who came out first. The triangles or the other product you showed that was similar. You figured that product you could fit two extra hangers instead of the triangle one hanger. Hopefully they didn't copy that other one and discard the second hook .. or it was a copy infringement lol. But the triangle seems like it did his job. Not too bad. My girlfriend has the velvet hangers and the other one similar to the last product you had in the closet. The old style one.
Also probably not good if you are tall. Each of my shirts is about 35-36 in Long. Love the channel
What they should do is make numbered ones, so one sits higher one sits mid way and one sits lower, this way they won't all stick together when loaded and keep the bull the same
What if you use plastic hangers???
If people wouldn't own so many clothes that they more than likely don't wear, they wouldn't have a space problem in a closet.
The space saving isn’t terribly impressive, but the idea of keeping outfit pieces together is great.
me and my wife like the idea of the RUBY TRIANGLES but only issue for us is out closet isnt tall enough to even use them cause we use our closet to store our childs toys so we definitely need more space but looks like we probably gotta just get a new place lol
84 cents apiece for a bit of plastic, but you can get binder clips for less than a tenth of that price and do the same thing with them-and on both sides, too, if you like.
On the infomercial they Only use clothes that have been Ironed and pressed almost just fresh from the factory cause we all know once you start wearing and washing your not pressing them and they won’t keep their new shirt shape clothes that don’t puff out in the first place anyway and smaller coat hangers to Probably even the size of clothes they use to If you want the ruby to work buy the wardrobe to suit the product not the other way round
Wow some people have a lot of clothes. I have 5 shirts, 5 shorts, 5 jeans, 5 polo shirts, 3 jogging type pants, 3 sweatshirts, 24 socks (12 pairs). Don’t really need much.
That’s not exactly a flex. 12 pairs of socks? Sounds like you have to do laundry every week or you’re forced to wear dirty clothes.
@@SvobodovaEva no need for anything unless I leave the house. Only leave the house for groceries or appointments. So I don’t leave the house very often. Save the environment, go naked, do less laundry.
@@Its_just_Dave. That’s sad 😞

@@SvobodovaEva why is it sad? I enjoy my life. Spend less money on things that don’t matter, more money for things that do matter.
My daughter uses the pull tabs from soda cans an they work pretty good.
Cool!
Getting jealous of that beard bro! Great video & Spectacular beard!
A much more economic approach is simply using soda can tabs, they won't fit every hanger, and these gadgets are more user friendly, but the tabs are essentially free.
