The writer, curious about the quality of cheap gadgets from AliExpress, decides to test five products. The first product, a Tuya Zigbee smart USB adaptor switch, earns an A for value and functionality. The second product, a tiny ceiling fan, is useful but not powerful, earning a B+. The third product, a Tuya Zigbee water sensor, works okay but has connectivity issues, earning a C+. The fourth product, a smart Wi-Fi clock, is frustrating to set up and has a major Wi-Fi vulnerability, earning a D-. The fifth product, a portable clothes dryer, is dangerous and melts after two hours of use, earning an F.
