 These were the most popular cheap Chinese stuff this spring

Chinese webshops are becoming more and more popular in Hungary as well. Of course, this is no wonder, as it is orders of magnitude cheaper to get anything from clothing to technical items straight from the outside than from any legally operating domestic company. Of course, it is not the businesses mentioned that are at fault for this, but facts such as record VAT.

At the same time, many people are afraid of defects and the associated warranty administration. Me too, and I think there are a lot of us with this, we ordered cheap things from the outside first. Now, after many successful orders and essentially zero problem cases, I dare to risk the more valuable things as well, but it is likely that most of the packages arriving in the country still contain products like you can see in this article.

So let's get started, let's see what we liked from the "penny" category!


Original Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm Sign Pen

Xiaomi Mijia 0.5mm Sign Pen 1

This Xiaomi product appears in all popularity lists. I’ve always had a question about why we order ballpoint pens from China, but the fact is that our Xiaomi stuff can’t be much cheaper.

My favorite manufacturer makes good things, good quality, good price too. According to the descriptions, this pen is not bad either. The manufacturer writes such that Swiss is the cartridge, that Japanese is the ink, or that the upper part can be rotated 120 degrees. According to the data, the line thickness is 0,5 millimeters, though, considering this, it doesn’t seem like some insane value. If anyone has such a pen, please write down why you like it, besides of course it looks good.

SEAGO SG-507 electric toothbrush

SEAGO SG 507 1

Plenty of companies sell electric toothbrushes. There are simple pieces that can only be turned on or off, they have no other function. Then there are the structures called smart, which are much more expensive, but they have more modes and they know other smarts as well.

The Seago SG-507 is an interesting mule, as it strengthens the team of smart people due to its capabilities, but its price still evokes traditional electric toothbrushes. It is suspected that this may be the reason for its popularity. I confess, before writing this paragraph, I even ordered one of it because it made me curious about its description.

SEAGO SG 507 2

You can get a timed warning so you don’t forget to switch between the lower and upper dentures, right and left while brushing your teeth. It has 5 different brushing functions, such as traditional, whitening, polishing or massage. Of course it's battery-powered, so we don't need to add a battery.

It looks especially good in the pictures, and the price is very friendly, so I recommend it here: SEAGO SG-507 electric toothbrush


Xiaomi Mijia motion sensor night light

Xiaomi Mijia Sensor Night Light 1

The Xiaomi MiJIA IR is nothing more than a small and extremely economical beacon for your apartment. Due to its minimalist design, it does not protrude from the interior of a modern apartment. The Xiaomi MiJIA IR, as its name suggests, has been given an infrared sensor so it only lights up when someone is near you. Its light is broad-spectrum, but not very strong, so it’s really just enough not to fall into anything.

When used, you can choose from two modes. In one of them, the brightness is 0,7 lumens, in which case it can work for 3 years with the 3,8 pencil elements that ensure its operation. There is also a less economical setting, in which case you get 5 lumens of brightness and six months of operation time. The infrared sensor can detect us in a range of 7-15 meters. If there is no detectable proximity, the lamp turns off after XNUMX seconds.

It may not show up at first, but an outlet-free, battery-operated one has several benefits. The first is that we can glue the lamp anywhere with a double-sided adhesive, so it does not require cabling or electrical installation. The other is that it will work even in the event of a power outage, so we can easily figure out the specific room the king is walking to.

Vacuum cleaner head for concealed corners

Universal Dust Suction Brush Vacuum Cleaning Attachment 1

As I wrote, there is almost everything in this compilation. I’ve seen this vacuum cleaner head before, but so far I haven’t felt the urge to buy it. However, there seem to be a lot of people who felt it would be helpful to know one of these for themselves.

As you can see in the pictures, this is a head that can be placed on a vacuum cleaner hose with lots and lots of tiny tubes. With these oversized bristles, we can reach even tiny gaps and suck out the dust trapped there. It’s not a complicated structure, but it can be really useful, plus it only costs a few dollars, which was enough for many buyers to try.

Xiaomi ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth FM transmitter

Xiaomi ROIDMI 3S Bluetooth Car Charger 1

We have already introduced the Xiaomi Roidmi 2S in our article, the 3S does not differ much from it. The exterior design is different to be compatible with the cigarette lighters of several car types, and the maximum charging current has also been slightly higher. In other functions, however, there is no difference.

The Xiaomi Roidmi 3S can be used as a FM transmitter, that is, to transfer music from your phone to your car radio, you can monitor your car's charging system through it, but it can even function as a speakerphone if you wish. So it’s surprisingly versatile, so we weren’t very surprised to meet him on this list.

gocomma EU socket converter

gocomma EU Plug 2 Feet Standard Travel Power Adapter Charger 1

We can’t write much about this stuff. This is an adapter that can be used to convert five different types of connectors to European standards. It can’t be a crappy piece, as it can be used up to 1200 watts, which makes it a necessity for those who bought a Chinese plug-in gadget from China. They are a lot scared of buying because the required structure doesn’t have an EU plug, but from experience I don’t have to be afraid of that, especially not if you buy such a gocomma adapter.

Xiaomi Mi WiFi 300M signal amplifier

Xiaomi Mi WiFi 300M Amplifier 2 English Version 1

This device looks like a traditional WiFi stick, but it is not. It is a signal amplifier, a 300-megabit hardware with a USB port that can be connected to 26 WiFi devices at a time. We use the signal amplifier in a place where there is a router inside the apartment, but we want to use the WiFi signal of this one router in several rooms or even on several floors. The signal amplifier connects to the router on the WiFi network and broadcasts its signal with the same SSID as your router, amplified.
