Only $19.95, But Wait !

HI there: Yeah I hate those stupid darn infomercials myself , sometimes there is a item or two that may be worth buying; I see a lot of this same stuff in my local Walgreen's too and I honestly don't know "why" they sell this crap there ?? This item is one I bought last year and I'm here to tell you all ITS JUNK! DON'T BUY IT; [b]THIS IS NOT A REFERRAL LINK, BUT A DO NOT BUY IT LINK (g)! [/b] http://www.asseenontvguys.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=234 [i][/i][u][/u] Trust me it is JUNK JUNK JUNK!! It wore out before I really even got to use the dang thing, both of the recorders were junk; DO NOT BUY! WASTE OF MONEY!! and here's another one to me that is JUNK JUNK JUNK!!! and here's another one I bought at Walgreen's only because it was cheaper as they were running a sale for $9.99 for this JUNK! http://www.asseenontvguys.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=510 what a waste of money I took it back to Walgreen's and got a refund!!!! it might work for some things as it says but for what I bought it for to hang up a stupid flag, it fell repeatedly! so don't trust it to hold up the weight it says it will....HAR DE HAR HAR!!! be careful of what you buy!! Some things are good! Some things are junk!!

I love those commericals, they are far better than the ones they spent a lot of money on. There is a reason there are labeled "Not sold in stores" because no retailer would take a chance on those dust gathering gadgets. The names are silly aren't they, I guess if you create a product and you want people to remember it ShamWOW would do the trick. But wait! There's more!

I will admit to being tempted, but have never bought any of those things. In my opinion, if a product needs that much hype to sell, it probably isn't worth buying. I don't know about the paint thing, but if it's the same quality as other things have been reported to be, I wouldn't bother with it.

Okay, I want some aquaglobes, because I think they are pretty, and I have overfilled a pot or two. The names are often stupid, and the items are just reworked blasts from the past.Most of them are available at Wal Mart, though. I guess I missed where you told about getting a house. I will go look at your old discussions.

Oh yes we've fallen for some gimmicks before. Years ago my husband bought some kind of squeegie type mop which was probably the worst mop I've ever used in my life. I have bought the Nad's wax hair remover, which actually does work quite well. We bought some kind of vegetable chopper wich was basically junk. Right now I keep seeing the infomercial for the Haan steam cleaner which I really want to buy but I'm looking to read some reviews on it first.

I got sucked into the Magic Bullet blender/juicer/piece of poop. I also gave in to the ShamWOW things but I picked them up at Canadian Tire and not through the infomercial. The Magic Bullet was garbage and it now sits in the cupboard taking up space. The ShawWows are ok but I don't find them any different than any other chamois, and it was $20 for a 4 piece set! I like the idea of those Aquaglobe things but you can just buy a self watering planter for $2! I've never heard of that painting thing, sounds neat though.

I look at those from time to time, just for the entertainment. I can not bring myself to purchase those things. I do not want to go through any kind of hassles with those companies. My sister purchased a George Forman grill many years ago and she loves it. Maybe I will get one when I get my own place, but other than that, no thank you.

I'm not sure what the painting thing you refer to is, but I do know you can get "automatic rollers" in hardware stores. Not sure how they work, I think they either have a reservoir for the paint or maybe a hose to go in the can. I just remember seeing them at Home Depot. There's also a sprayer device for painting, much like the manual pesticide sprayers of old, where you pour the liquid in the tank, pump it up, and start spraying. But back to your first question: Have I ever purchased anything from on info-mercial? No, they didn't ship the Bass-o-matic to Canada...

Heads up there about that Point N Paint thing....I found some links how not only is it a scam, but they might way overcharge you, instead of $19.95 plus shipping and handling, they might charge you over a hundred dollars! Here's an excerpt of complaints about it Got it from this website http://www.infomercialscams.com/scams/point_n_paint_complaints [b]{Warning: this is NOT a referral link but a link about the Point N Paint product} [/b] [i]1/22/2009 - Margaret writes: I ordered in november and have tried to contact their coustomer service dept. of which does not answet. they have charged my checking acct. 140.63 for a 19.99 product. what can I do. thankyou 1/20/2009 - Tana writes: I ordered point and paint one month ago. I never received the product, so I began my research. I found some very helpful information on how to get customer service rather than a recording which will not connect you to a human being, so I followed the advice of others. I dialed 1 866 272 9951. The automated system assked me to press 2 for customer service. I got to speak to someone who told me they had't charged my acct. yet, which was going to be 136.95. This was for 1 point and paint. Imagine that...I could have hired a painter for that! I immediately cancelled my order. This is certainly a big scam! Do not buy a point and paint!!!! [/i]

As most users have said some work and some are just plain junk. I have bought the sushi maker though and it works great. Have my eyes on the Mighty Mendit since it looks cool and another user said it works great, so I may just get it. Sometimes it does pays to do research before buying. Mighty mendit on TV is 19.95, I found it on Ebay for just $9.95

I have never and dont plan to. They are overpriced cheap things that end up wasting space. I love some of the adds. If you call now we will include a 30 page step by step guide (hmmmmm that should be included anyway) or buy one get one free. I know someone who is adicted to things like this they buy them and hope they are going to need them one day.

I've always wanted a mini discombobulator! I've never actually bought anything from an info-mercial, but I do enjoy watching them (especially the stupid ones!)

We ordered something from an infomercial not too long ago. We try not to in general, but it was these insoles that seemed like they would help my partner who has been having some trouble. They do work, we were actually billed correctly, and they arrived on time. It was a recording when we called, so there were not a lot of upsells. We took calls for a company that only processed those orders. It was most of those commercials that were on at the time. I grew to strongly dislike some of the products, as the calls where terrible. People would call to order a product, and there would be atleast 5 other products, with a full page to read to them, on each call. You had to read it to them, and people would get very angry, and sometimes, hang up, losing the sale. A lot of the deals would be a little misunderstood by the people calling, or perhaps the commercial didn't explain. So, that would aggrivate people as well, especially the ones where you were automatically signed up to a program just bu buying a product, and there would be no way to cancel out until you got your package. There are several products that to this day, I see on TV and groan, wondering how they are still able to be selling it with all the people I would get that would call and complain, threaten to sue, or tell me the customer service department for the company did not exist.

Those commercials have always drove me crazy but there have been a few times that I have bough the item to see if they would really work or not. The most recent though was the green bags and I was surprised when they actually worked and did help keep the produce in my fridge fresher for much longer than when I don't use ones. Most of the time though I wait till I find it at a local store and it is usually cheaper so when it doesn't work I am not as mad as I would of been if I spent more money on it.

I would love a few ShamWow's and a Slap Chop..lol They make it sound like something fascinating to have I guess till you get it then think..What was I thinking..I have bought 2 PedEgg and a Smooth Away hair removal kit. They worked great but the smooth away takes a little more motion then a few swirls this way and a few back to be hairless. But it did remove all my hair on my arm..felt weird having hairless arms..lol But it grows back in days.

I actually purchased the one sweep broom. Thanks to my husband breaking the handle, I have to use it to sweep up stuff into the dust pan. If you own a dog or a cat that sheds, this is the best thing to get the hair up and out of the carpet. I can't remember, but a member here posted a link with nearly everything that's sold on tv. Now I can get me a new one, with two dogs that shed, I need it badly. Plus you can use it for a lot of things. I also got the ped egg, it works great for my aligator feet. I also got a few other things, and haven't had a problem with them. Sorry I haven't used the thing that you use to paint a wall with. I am leary about it being so small. Would be cool if it worked, I can paint a lot faster without having to worry about getting paint on frames. Some of the stuff is interesting, just the people they use to sell it are the ones that needs to stay away from coffee. The slap chop commercial is a hoot, especially when the guy says everybody loves his nuts, .

LOL. I have heard of all of these also. I have never tried any of them either. I heard the shamwow's are really good though.

My Bfs mother that lives down In the great state of Texas buys all them lil things you see on the TV like the 19.99 stuff she has a great collection going on lol lol when we talk over the phone she is always telling me about something else she as seen on TV lol I myself never have bought anything from the tv but I have bought a few "as seen on tv" items! I like the blooming onion things I use it lot!

As soon as I figure out what it is I am getting a discombobulator! I once bought a special pencil "thingy" that if used correctly (?) will take all scratches off your eye glasses. You guessed it, it did not work! Friends of mine purchased this super dooper vacuum cleaner that could "suck" up a whole coffee table and yes for an extra $19.95 they got two! Well I borrowed said vacuum cleaner once and I spent a lot of extra time re-attaching the hose that continuously fell off! Now I will not bother unless I can at least physically pick up the object with my hands before parting with my hard earned cash. The names of these products are quite funny! Go figure!

You know what, all those items that they be selling on those infomercials. Just wait walmart will have them in about 6 months to 1 year. All depends when they get patent. But Walmart always get those items. So I just wait on Walmart.
