TV Products that are actually as good as they say

[edhopper]

I have two from info commercials that are great products, as good as the hype.
My George Foreman Grill is versatile and well made kitchen tool.
And my Total Gym lets me get a full workout at home.

1. On the other hand,

has anyone ever caught a fish with the Popiel pocket fisherman?

[edhopper]

2. That's my point

most of them seem like overpriced crap that can be done with better and cheaper products. But these two really are good. So are there others?

[Philippine expat]

18. Yes I have

I bought my Dad one as a gag gift when he retired,
he made me use it. it worked

[Fire Walk With Me]

33. Considering posting pocket fisherman/trouser trout joke.

Nah...

3. Some of those products are good but I won't buy them from any TV offer

Because many time those TV offers have alot of fine print that end up costing you way more than you expect.

My favorite product from a TV add is Easy Feet.

It's this oversized flip flop thing you put in your shower that allows you to scrub the bottom of your feet. My feet are always disgusting so I love this product for cleaning my feet.

That's the product; however, I bought mine for $10 at my local Walgreen's.

21. I just saw that at Walgreens, too.

And I wondered just how good it really was. So? How is it? :D

24. My review of Easy Feet

My biggest problem is dirty feet - I need to wash my feet every night before I go to bed else I'll end up with gross feet in my nice clean bed.

So I bought the thing and for the most part it works.

The good thing is this - it does scrub your feet real nicely. I just squirt a bit of body wash or even hand soap onto the bristles and I scrub. 30 seconds later my feet are all nice and clean.

I have found that the suction cups do not stick well.

There is a pumice stone at the back of the Easy Wash and it ended up breaking on me. No biggie.

If your goal is clean feet then this is worth it but if you are hopping for soft heels - I'd go oldschool. I'd give it a 3.75 out of 5 stars.

The fact that I use this thing almost every day made it worth the $10 I paid for it.

[kentauros]

36. Well, then,

I may buy one! :hi:

Anything to help me wake up in the morning, even if it's due to getting my feet tickled while cleaning :P

4. The NuWave Infrared Oven is really great.

I got one as a gift a coupla years ago. I don't watch infomercials so I had never heard of it before I got one. It does everythings it claims, and does a pretty good job, too. I like using it in the summer, when I don't want to heat the big oven up to cook something. It also does a good job of cooking meat that is frozen, so you don't have to worry about defrosting ahead of time.

[edhopper]

6. I always wondered about that thing

good to know.

[krispos42]

8. I agree

Okay, it's not for frozen pizza... the crust never gets crisp. But it does a good job on chicken breasts, meatloaf, fries, that sort of thing.

[BrendaBrick]

39. Your pic of the beer guy cracked me up!!!!! n/t

[meegbear]

5. My Ronco Rhinestone rhinestoned my bellbottoms perfectly ...

I was the big cheese at the Roller Disco.

[krispos42]

9. I first read that as "bellybutton"...

...you don't want to know the image that called up! :rofl: :hi:

[seaglass]

7. Pretzel M&Ms n/t

[eShirl]

10. turbo snake

It's just a mini plumber's snake, but quite effective.

I will never have to buy Draino again.

[emilyg]

22. Love mine. Really works.

[abbeyco]

11. Completely agree about the George Foreman Grill and my

Jack LaLane Juicer is the bomb - I juice all kinds of fruits & veggies now vs. just using a citrus juicer. I'm also a fan of the WEN haircare product - I normally use Aveda products but love have an occasional, non-detergent alternative.

Funny story - my Mom ordered one of those contraptions that's supposed to firm your neck; it doesn't work and it's torturous to use and she looks like a moron while using it. :rofl:

[WinkyDink]

12. Ronco Pasta Machine!

[JonLP24]

13. I was actually impressed with

OxyClean

[GoCubsGo]

19. It's great stuff for most stains.

It's the only thing I know that can remove red wine stains.

[Ptah]

14. The 'Ove' Glove®

Better than a welding glove!

:woohoo:

[nadine_mn]

15. oh yea... a friend got me one cuz I kept burning myself crafting

and I love it

[Broken_Hero]

16. I like that new foot washer thing

it has suction cups, you place it at the bottom of your shower/tub and it has a pumice stone/brushes that scrub your feet. Beyond me being beyond ticklish/laughing my ass off when I use it, it does work rather well.

I also like the Lightswitch/remote gadget. You plug your lamp/tv/whatever into the device, and plug it into the wall out let. You have a little light switch gadget that you can place anywhere you want/or near the bed/night stand, so whenever you want to turn your light/whatever off, you flick the switch the appliance shuts off.

17. The Rotato

You stick a potato or cucumber on it, then turn a little crank. The potato is peeled perfectly in seconds. I love that thing.

23. The old Vegamatic. n/t

[davsand]

25. I saw that and immediately thought of the old SNL Bass-O-Matic.

Now THAT was an infomercial!


:rofl:

26. Dr Strange swears by Enzyte

At least, that's what I've heard.

[MrCoffee]

34. Warn a guy first!

LMAO

[MilesColtrane]

27. Beer

It really, really works.

28. The Save-A-Blade razor sharpener

Since I got mine 1.5 years ago I am on my 4th blade. I get @ 5 months per blade.
I shave every other day because my beard is light. I used to get @ 10 to 14 shaves/ blade. Now it is in the 75+ range.
So it has easily saved me from buying new blades. The shave still feels good up to the very end. But when it is done, you can tell, just like before.

First blade went from Feb. 2010 to Aug 2010. Second lasted til January. Third til May. Two months on the current blade.

[Maine-ah]

30. considering how much razor blades are

that's wicked awesome. Just looked it up on amazon, and it's less than $8...plus prime eligible (free ship)...I went grocery shopping today, got the hubby a pack of razor blades (we share the same handle, and use separate blades)$15 for friggin five blades. I'm ordering one of the sharpeners.

thank you! :hi:

[rurallib]

31. surely can't lose much.

[Misskittycat]

29. Total Gym; Fluidity Bar; Wen hair care; Oxyclean; Shark Portable Steam Pocket Mop

All really good.

Actually, re the Total Gym and Fluidity Bar, I bought them locally (from a Total Gym warehouse outlet, and Fluidity Bar from Craigslist for just $30) but first saw them on TV.

Come to think of it, I got the Steam Pocket Mop from Craigslist as well.

Also, after the first few times, I got the Wen hair stuff on Ebay for much less than the Wen company.

Rule of thumb: always check Craigslist and Ebay for these products at much better prices.

32. Moving Men furniture sliders and the Foreman grill

[applegrove]

35. George Foreman Grill is fantastic. I only use it for grilled cheese sandwiches but it is a wonderful

& sturdy design.

[Tallulah]

37. Sobakawa

Micro-Bead Cloud Pillow

Bought 2 from Bed Bath and Beyond for $20. Best pillows I have ever owned.

[tishaLA]

38. Shark navigator vacuum

It's the best vacuum I've ever had. It's not a Dyson, but I don't have $500 to spend on a vacuum; $200 was more than enough for me. And it gets up everything.

[backwoodsbob]

40. was looking to see if I would be first on the shark :(

GREAT vacuum for the price.

Oh and another thumbs up for the George Foreman grill
