I Tested TikTok Shop vs Temu Kitchen Gadgets

Introduction

In the age of digital shopping, TikTok and Temu have become go-to platforms for kitchen gadgets, often showcasing products that seem too good to be true. Today, I tested several kitchen gadgets from both TikTok Shop and Temu to determine which brand provides the best items for your kitchen.

Portable Fruit Juicer

First up was the portable fruit juicer from TikTok Shop, priced at $ 22.99. It features nine sharp blades, making it easy to blend fruits like pineapple, strawberries, and peaches. The blending process went smoothly, though the consistency wasn't as fine as expected.

In comparison, the Temu portable blender, which costs $ 146, has a different design with the blades at the bottom. While the TikTok juicer could accommodate more fruit and blended them more effectively, the Temu blender performed decently as well. Verdict: TikTok Shop wins this round!

Tomato Slicer

Next, I tried a tomato slicer from TikTok Shop for $ 220. Unfortunately, the blade was too dull, resulting in uneven cuts. The Temu cherry tomato slicer, priced at $ 3.16, could slice more tomatoes at once but also didn't impress. Overall, TikTok’s slicer was less reliable, but both fell short of expectations. TikTok wins by a slim margin.

Knives

Analyzing kitchen knives, I tested a set from TikTok Shop costing $ 6.20. They cut paper well and tackled tomatoes fairly. Meanwhile, Temu's knife set costs $ 25.73 and features a heavier build. The Temu knives had better precision, making them the winner in this category.

Kebab Maker

For the kebab makers, TikTok's version is priced at $ 6.61 and simplifies the skewer process. I found it impressive compared to Temu's model, which costs $ 110.99. The grooves from the TikTok maker were more pronounced, leading to better kebabs. Winner: TikTok Shop.

Shaved Ice Makers

The shaved ice maker from TikTok Shop is $ 17.73 and produced fluffy ice with a manual crank. Temu's automatic version didn't create the same quality of ice. Therefore, TikTok Shop takes this round as well.

Digital Spoon Scale

I evaluated the digital spoon scales, with TikTok's priced at $ 19.24 and Temu's at $ 12.49. Temu's scale had a removable spoon and offered more measurement units, giving it an edge. Thus, Temu wins this category.

Food Chopper Gun

The food chopper gun from TikTok was a disappointment, breaking easily with tougher vegetables, while Temu's model performed better with softer foods, making it the better option.

Hot Dog Toaster

Testing the hot dog toasters, TikTok's model is just $ 2.99, while Temu's comes in at $ 48.68. Both produced unevenly toasted hot dogs, but TikTok's cheaper option prevailed due to its price and slightly better performance.

Apple Peeler

I tested an apple peeler from TikTok Shop for $ 9.70, which worked flawlessly. In contrast, Temu's automatic peeler, priced at $ 30.90, didn't perform as well. TikTok Shop won this one easily.

Meat Defrosters

I compared meat defrosters priced at $ 8.57 (TikTok) and $ 35.99 (Temu). Both were similar in performance, but TikTok’s option was more straightforward and cheaper, giving them the win.

Waffle Makers

I tested waffle makers from both brands. TikTok’s costs $ 24.1 and was a mess, leading me to favor Temu’s which costs $ 16.89 and performed significantly better. Winner: Temu.

Egg Cooker

The egg cooker from TikTok was not bad at $ 18.2, but Temu's model at $ 27.56 had more features for boiling eggs. However, TikTok’s overall execution was better, thus winning this round.

Electric Warming Tray

The electric warming tray from TikTok costs $ 44.99 and kept food warm well, while Temu's costing $ 426 did not perform as effectively. Another win for TikTok.

Summary of Results

Out of 19 tested products, 12 from TikTok Shop and 7 from Temu were successful. TikTok Shop had a more convincing array of gadgets that frequently outperformed their Temu counterparts, often at lower prices.
