Have you ever bought any "As Seen on TV" products, and what did you think?

Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial or from a "available only through this TV offer" commercial -- whether you actually ordered over the phone, online or if you found it in a store that sells "as seen on tv" products?
What did you get? What did you think of it?
I've had a few items that were "as seen on tv"
I have a Ronco Showtime Rotisserie, and I love it. I use it all the time. Especially in the summer time. If I'm not grilling, I use the rotisserie. I've had it for almost 5 years.
I also have a set of the Miracle Blade knives, which I also love. They cut well and they're easy for me to hold and cut really nicely. The all purpose slicer is fantastic -- I've actually sliced freshly baked bread a number of times with it and it didn't destroy the bread.
I had the Rotato years ago and I loved it. When the blades broke I just never replaced it.
I was not impressed with the Bedazzler. My grandmother got it for me for Christmas when I was like 10. I used it twice. Wasn't nearly as fun to use as they advertise.
How about you?

I have the GT Xpress 101. It's a cooking appliance and I love it. It makes cooking so much easier and faster. The only thing I wish that was different about it was that I would like it to be bigger. It's fine for just me and my husband but when we have people over I have to use the oven still.

I bought one of those containers that is supposed to cook spaghetti just right it was broke when I got it, it looked so cheap and cheesy anyways I would never have used it I sent it back and got refunded instead of having the product replaced.

I bought the Dryer balls. I love them most of the time they keep my clothes static free like it said on the package. I don't I may buy one more set later and see if it helps more.

Not I never did, but it seems so perfect on tv , so I don't believe it is the same in real. But you know they really know how to present it, because I feel a lot of time, liek oh I shoudl just try it and buy it, but never did till now. But now I see there are many people who bought somethign and they are satisfied with it, so maybe I should purchase somethign too and then let you know.
