Best car air freshener vent clip for long lasting smell?

Most car air fresheners I’ve tried follow the same pattern, smells great at first then after a short while it either fades or turns into something you barely notice anymore.

I’m specifically looking at vent clip types because they seem more consistent compared to hanging ones or sprays. The idea of using the car’s airflow to spread the scent sounds better in theory, but reviews are kind of mixed depending on the brand and even how strong your AC is.

Some say vent clips last around a month or so before dropping off in intensity, while others claim certain brands stay noticeable longer but can get too strong at the start. I’ve also seen some adjustable ones where you can control scent level, but not sure if that actually helps long term or just delays the fade.

Also curious if placement on different vents (center vs side) changes how long the scent feels effective inside the cabin.

Just trying to find something that doesn’t disappear after a few days and still keeps the car smelling clean without being overpowering.

I’ve been cooking more at home lately and realized my old plastic strainer is kinda annoying to use, especially with hot stuff. Thinking of switching to a stainless steel colander bowl set so it’s more durable and easier to clean.

I see a lot of sets that come in different sizes which seems useful, like one for rice, one for veggies, one for pasta. Some also have those really tiny holes which look better for draining smaller stuff. Apparently micro perforations help drain faster without losing grains or small food

My only hesitation is some sets look thin or flimsy, and I don’t want something that dents easily or tips over when draining. Also not sure if I should go for a full set or just one solid piece.

Budget is pretty flexible, just want something that feels sturdy and doesn’t rust after a few months.

What are you all using in your kitchen that actually feels worth it?

Been looking at those small electric egg cookers and I’m confused if the multi-function ones are legit or just marketing. Some claim boiled, poached, steamed, omelet all in one but reviews are kinda mixed.

I’m replacing an old pot method so anything that saves time in the morning is already a win for me. Budget is not too high, just something reliable.

Anyone here found one that doesn’t feel gimmicky?

kinda want to make cooking easier on busy days so im looking at getting a slow cooker

idea of just putting everything in and letting it cook on its own sounds nice but not sure if it actually works like that or you still have to check it a lot

also noticed some have timers and auto keep warm and some are just basic ones, not sure if that feature really matters or just extra

probably cooking simple stuff like soups, chicken, maybe stews. nothing too fancy

budget around $40–$100
