3 On Your Side: Useful Unusual Items

Reporting
Jim Donovan
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― Have you ever seen a new or unusual product and thought, I could use that? The Good Housekeeping folks put a few items to the test and 3 On Your Side's Jim Donovan shows you which ones stood out as those you might really want to use.

Topping the list of "I could use that!" products reviewed by Good Housekeeping is the Kwik Vac from Dirt Devil.

"We love this little hand-vac because it's got a sleek design so it looks really great on your desk. It plugs into your USB port to charge so it's always handy and in our tests we found that it did a great job cleaning between the computer keyboards and all around your desk surface," said Carolyn Forte with Good Housekeeping.

Breville's Smart Oven was found to be a pretty sharp oven/toaster combo.

"It's a beautifully designed unit with a blue LCD panel. It comes with nine preset options that you can fine tune by turning a dial. The performance was among the best we've ever seen from a toaster oven," said Sharon Franke with Good Housekeeping.

This JVC Everio S camcorder gets thumbs up from Good Housekeeping if you want to upload your videos onto YouTube.

"What really made this camcorder stand out is that it's extremely compact, so that you can just stick it in your purse. It also has an easy, one-touch button that will allow you to upload your recordings to YouTube," said Rachel Rothman with Good Housekeeping.

The camcorder could be great for traveling too. It only weighs a little more than a half a pound.
