Inspired by ShamWOW - Infomercial purchases you have made?

[CathrynRose]

I got suckered into watching Joy Mangano's Huggable Hangers on HSN - for at least an hour. I finally purchased them. Two huge sets, too!

The following week I had buyers remorse - how could I spend that much money on hangers???

Then I got them.

WOOO HOOOO! I love them! Theyre marvelous! Just absolutely amazing!!!

What have you watched, ended up buying, and did you like it, or not?

I got the Oreck vacuum and air purifiers. They all work very, very well. LOVE them!!!!

Shamwow - had to get that.

OxyClean - got it as a gift, way back when.

I almost got that pot with holes in the top, but they pissed me off by advertising one price and actually charging more than double when I called, so I hung up.

I *think* that's it.

I haven't purchased Joy's hangers but I am seriously thinking of purchasing those plastic hangers that have about 6 holes in them. Well there is a hanger and six holes and then another hanger. Then you take the one hanger off the rod and all six pieces of clothes kind of hang down and take up less space.
I would love to hear if anyone has those.

I did purchase last week for my dd and me those plastic things that you put on the back of your bra to adjust your straps depending on what kind of top you have on.
I live in the Northeast so won't have too much use for them in the winter but think when the spring/summer comes, it will be good for my daughter wearing tops with different backs so as not to see her bra straps.

I do take my dog to the groomers but would also love to know about the PediPaw since I would love to do his nails between visits.
Thanks for the tread. I look forward to seeing responses.

Lets see......the Onion Chopper thingy--never worked good for me...the Jack La Lane Juicer--used twice, its now back in the box....and George Forman grill....from like 7 years ago, its still in the bottom cabinet... the latest was the Debbie Meyer Green bags--nope didn't do anything for me......whenever I get the "urge" to order anything, I remember these items and say NO NO NO!

I purchased the Pedipaws thing for my German Shepherd and the "dicer thing" for the veggies. I like the Pedipaws best!

Do those work? Ive eyeballed those too.

I fight the urge to get that stupid Snuggie blanket every time it comes on.

My husband has even noticed the 'look in my eye' and says "NO!" when the commercial airs.

 

[teacups]

I bought Tae Bo... it kicked my butt.
I bought Space Bags... eh, nothing too great.
Oxy Clean... rip off.

I swore never again!!
Then... I saw the Jack Lalane juicer
I actually like it!

 

[cheermom1]

loving this thread

I bought the new wave oven I used it a few times (never cook potatoes in it)

it is in the bottom cabinet that i call the bottomless pit of unused kitchen gadgits

OH dont get that!! The whole back is open like a hospital gown and your butt cheeks will get frost bite!

The Green Bags dont work? Blasted! Ive thought about getting those.

I bought Space Bags... eh, nothing too great.
!

Space Bags dont work either???

 

[CathrynRose]

Ooo - you know what I REALLY want, cuz I know my oldest son would use it - is that little.... what the heck is it called? It's with that lady with the red hair who does everything, and it makes omelettes, cakes, chicken....it has 2 half moon sides and you can make anything in minutes!!!


The only reason I havent gotten it is, it comes with 2. WHy in the heck would I need 2??

 

[CathrynRose]

OH dont get that!! The whole back is open like a hospital gown and your butt cheeks will get frost bite!

But see, Ive already thought that through... why couldnt I wear it with the opening in the front?

Then my husband said - why dont you just get a robe, then?

Always stomping on my dreams.

 

[npmommie]

ok tell me about sham wow, does it work like in the commercial? i am tempted to order.

 

[pooh6890]

I purchased the H20 mop.......haven't opened the box yet. I hope it works.

Between that and the Buxton Bag, my wife is wearing me out...

Now my Oxiclean, I can't live without that...

 

[Stacerita]

Wen hair care system. I love it!! I saw the infomercial many times before I actually purchased it. And I am glad that I did.

On the other hand, I ordered Purity Mineral makeup...ick. I hate it.

The Buxton Bag!!! It looks like you can do a week's worth of grocery shopping and not need any bags, cuz you can stuff it all in your Buxton Bag!!!

 

[Minnie]

Anyone have the thing you stick under your doors to block the air on both sides? DF really wants those....

Of course he also "had" to have the ab lounger and that's been collecting dust since about day 3.....

jack lalaine juicer-ended up gifting it
foreman grill-loved it
bullet-love making my protein drink with it
bareminerals-love the coverage but it dosen't feel like I even have any makeup on
tae bo-it hurt my knee
space bags- it was good until that zipper bust
hercules hooks-works really well


I love my informercials....I was hedging with the P90X for the past 4 months. Then I read that you might have to be in good shape already before you start it. I just kept thinking, I'm going to look so awesome if I get this ....I talked myself out of it b/c then I'd actually have to do it. QVC keeps showing that friggin pilates machine that's ONLY AVAILABLE until January 4th. I'm going to see if I can last until January 5th without ordering it I thought about getting the snuggli too, it reminds me of what the monks on Robin Hood wore...
