I've had 2 kindle paperwhites. The first one I had for close to 8 years before it died. The screen went all wonky and you couldn't see anything. My current paperwhite is 8 years old and still working. Once in a while it has a little hiccup starting up but it's not all that often. However, I did get a new paperwhite during prime days in a bundle with a leather cover and transformer plug for 40% off. Then I noticed if I did a trade in of some of my older Alexa/Amaxon devices, not only would I get some money for the trades but I got an extra 20% of a new kindle. I've had very good luck with my kindles. As far as burnout is concerned, I get it. I started doing dot art painting in 2018 and went hot and heavy with it through to 2021. But one project gave me painter's block and I haven't painted since. I'm thinking I want to start it up again. Glad you've been able to take time for you and the family. You can never get that time back.

I’ve never experienced either these or harbor freight, so I truly appreciate the comparison. After watching the entire video however, I think I would check out Harbor freight first.

I'm a new DP. I've only been doing it since Nov. 2023. My first kit was a little one. 30 cm x 30 cm, black cat in a heart, round drills. I've only done round drills, but I have ordered a square to try. I really appreciate these tips. When I first started I didn't do a lot of these, but I've started slowly incorporating them now. The sectioning off really helps. I use release papers. I need to get washi to go around edges. I'm usually ok with the trays and pens that come with the kits. I've ordered an acrylic pen to try though. I use a light board, but I got a small one and have had to order a bigger one. Due to my frustration with the too small light board I did get burned out and took a 3 mo break. I do not like kiting up, I need to find a better way to do it.

I have a folding zip closer soft sided travel case that holds 60 round drill containers screw caps and I love mine, when you open it there is a pocket that houses all the loose " things " it's smaller than those 2 containers and it's easier to carry it has a handle.

I don't have the DAC one because I wasn't a fan of the EW. I prefer the HF containers and I haven't really strayed from them in the last 6 years ❤❤❤️ I did enjoy seeing this comparison video though! Great work as always Mrs C! ❤

The price and variety of buying options (4 sizes, and various diff counts) wins for EW. But i LOVE that pink top. If DAC can improve on sizes, lose organizers, etc, i would switch over. Im a little confused on the DAC stackability since you said it doesn't sit on the lid correctly.

I used this tip to start my first ever painting today it’s been going great thank you ❤

Thank you for doing this video!! I was on the fence about purchasing this storage unit. Made my decision easier😊😊.❤😊😊😊😊😊

Don't put shoes on a table ! It's bad luck

Hi just wanted you to know that you did a great video have a blessed day 💕

I still love Elizabeth ward. Im missing the smallest size that i use the most in diamond art club box. Also there is no space for your fingertip to flip them open (no long nails to use here😅). I love both for different purposes. Diamond art club for big big big diamond paintings and Elizabeth ward for all other canvases.

Thank you for the comparison have 2 EW saving for some large for me kits tend to use chicklets, baggies, bottles & cateared trabrks really liking those. Great review

That’s actually the knockoff Elizabeth Ward from Temu or Ali Express!

I’m watching this before my local art shop opens. I’m going to get a diamonds dotz painting for my first one but diamond art club looks like amazing quality. I’m excited but I wish I didn’t have to go to work today, I just want to diamond paint and I’ve never even diamond painted before 😂

Perfect instructions. Thank you.

Laura A here! Thank you for the comparison. Can you mix and match the containers in either system?

Yes I would like to try it out but it is too pricey for now and I will doubt it will drop in price like Elizabeth Ward knock off like you have is great price I got mine at Temu for 12 dollars so I bought six of them yes so thank you ooh I have long nails and it can work with Elizabeth Wards better love your channel

I'll still with EW, even though I would buy the DAC just to try it. My main thing for EW is the very small containers. I just kitted up a DAC kit, and there are sooo many packages with a very small amount,. I bought one of the sets that is only small containers. Also, I had to use a few of the larger ones for the background color, and DAC's aren't that large, but for me it's mainly that I want the small ones. But someday will probably try it.

Horrible

❤️👍🏼

I love both.

I don't have either of these but if I did I would pick the Elizabeth Ward containers because of the various sizes. I use Artdot round bottles. Thanks for sharing the video.

I have the EW and the Harbor Freight. My favorite is Harbor Freight. They are smaller but the price point is phenomenal. Depending on what coupon you use, I have gotten the HF ones for as little as $3.99. Unfortunately, I can't justify paying that big price for the Diamond Art Club one. I'm sure its wonderful but pricey. I think if they went more with the HF ones, they would make more money in the long run because the new diamond painters wouldn't have as big a problem paying for the lesser price as opposed to the EW look alike. Just my opinion. Thank you for the video Mrs. Coffee.

That was a GREAT comparison. Well done 🥰 I've always used the Elizabeth Ward system and I mostly love it. I've found that a few container tops don't fit or latch properly and then I can't use them. But you can always buy just the extra containers. I also use the Harbor Freight containers. I do love them, too, but they only come in one size. And they are inexpensive! So I use EW for square, and HF for round drills.

Harbor Freight is good; like EW.

❤

Love Charlie Brown cute

She’s absolutely beautiful 😍

Adorable 🥰

I want to point out a couple of things about the EW. They sell a version that is full of only the tiny containers. And you don't have to leave them in size order. You can rearrange the order of the containers. They can be mixed all up inside the holder. So like, the cut out inside that is made for the largest container ...you can fit a variety of options inside that space and it fits perfectly. So you can arrange them however you want/need to in order to accommodate however you like to arrange your diamonds for painting.

MRS. Coffee , As someone with Cerebral Palsy, thank you so much for shining the light on accessibility during your comparison!

Thank you for describing all the different storage solutions and why you like them and what you use. I am looking for an easy winter craft.

Thank you for sharing I don't own either yet but this has been very useful I think that the Elizabeth Ward will be my next purchase

I personally love the New Trabricks by Cateared. No more pouring drills into trays and then pouring them back to containers, the trabricks are containers and tray in one , very time saving! And they have built on lids, pet proof.❤

Thank you for this. I've been wondering what the DAC storage was really like. And your thoughts made my decision for me. I have thin, brittle nails...so I'm going with the EW's. I break enough nails at work. The last thing I need is my hobby storage snapping them off too, lol

Thank you so much for the thorough comparison. The storage solution I am wishing for is the Art Dot case with various sized containers (similar to the seed storage case that is sold on Amazon, but with something like the 120 container count)

I do love my EW containers. I think if DAC adds an extra small size (purchase as extras) that would be awesome. I can see why some people would like the DAC but for the money I will stick with the EW.

Thanks for doing the comparison. I love my EW trays.😊

I agree DAC would have been better doing the HF style. I recently purchased the HF storage and I like it, however I do feel the latches are flimsy. I can see having to replace it soon, however because of the price point it wouldn't be a problem. But, DAC could have made a more sturdy version that could have potentially turned the craft world on its heels as long as the price was reasonable. As it stands, I will never buy the DAC storage. I thought I was splurging when I bought the EW one.

❤️👍🏼

Thank you Mrs Coffee for this comparison. I have recently brought the DAC one and have kitted up in it. I prefer the DAC to the EW as they feel a bit stronger. As a fibromyalgia sufferer, I still prefer my DAC kit.

I enjoyed the video and agree with what you said about the difference between them baisd off what you were showing. I do not own either and don't plan on buying either but that's just because I like what I'm using now due to the pretty print it has on it plus the zipper enclosure. Also my daughter bought me the one I use and you can't put a price on a sentimental item.

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting onboard with that tree too.

I use Elizabeth Ward mostly but would probably buy a DAC storage system if they had colors other than pink. I just can’t get past the color pink.

Thank you for doing this comparison! I prefer the Harbor Freight ones because they are easier for me to carry and store, and one lives near my house! I do own 2 of the EW and do like them well enough. I also have the small storage ones that have 28 boxes for smaller DP's. With arthritis in both of my shoulders and weakened arm strength, i just can't handle heavy items anymore. I appreciate your thoughts as, like you said, eveybody has their own preference. I do hope DAC comes up with different types of storage solutions over time. Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed day!

I love EW containers ❤ thanks for the comparison!

This will be my first ever dac painting
