Infomercials.....?

[B. Amish]

Who's bought something off of a tv infomercial? Is there anything worth buying off of tv? Any recommendations or reviews....

the magic bullet blender is a neat contraption that works well

foodsavers are quality products from my experience

I work odd hours and often find myself watching tv at 3,4,5am..etc. I once found myself watching QVC...and it was one of those weird situations where you cant believe what you are watching...but felt so paralyzed that I couldn’t change the channel. Anyways, I ended up buying a lazer level thingy for like 50.00 bucks. Its like a lazer on a tripod that rotates to give a even line across all four walls...used it for putting up a border once....worked great. I still cant believe that I bought something on QVC.

I've never bought anything from TV. I usually wait until it's in the stores, so I can return it if it sucks! So far, scunci steamer, magic bullet, foodsaver and the swivel sweeper. All of them are great except for the magic bullet. It's ok.

What brand of food saver did you buy and are you happy with it. Also, how much, what features do you like, etc. I just ate a couple of walleye fillets that had some freezer burn-boy does that suck.

No informercials here, but my wife bought about 75% of her gifts from QVC this last Christmas. I'm thinking that if I have a kid around September, I'm going after the UPS driver, because Lord knows, I wasn't getting any action.

We bought the Ronco multi knife set. I was sceptical, but after receiving them, I was really impressed. They are lazer sharp and have held up really well.

The FoodSaver Vac 1050 is what I have,I also got tired of freezer burn! it works GREAT!!

I have the magic Bullet, and I have only used it to make fruity drinks for the ladies. It works pretty good for that.

Bought a steamer from qvc. Can't get the top off now .

I also bought my computer system. I've stopped buying from tv since all the stuff can be bought at discount stores now. Easier to return products if you are dissatisfied.

Your Right! pay shipping to get it,Pay shipping to return it! You got nothing for a cost!

I am also a skeptic when it comes to infomercials. However, one in particular has always intrigued me....none other than the "Little Giant Ladder System" With my current ladders of a hand me down aluminum 6 footer and an older extension ladder...both needed replacing.

Well, one state fair day, my wife and I were running through the various buildings and basically it was a live infomercial for the ladder. I was drawn in and even participated and put the ladder to the test. Walked around for about an hour talking it over with the wife and before the end of the day...pulled the trigger on the "Little Giant Ladder"

All I can say is...WOW...it is one great ladder that has been a life saver in some situations. It comes with a lifetime warranty...and the wife says it's the only ladder I will ever be allowed to buy and she's going to bury me with it.

2 thumbs up for that one!

anyone seen the infomercial for the aerogarden.... it looks like it would be a great gift idea. anyone out there have experience with this contraption

[setterguy]

I bought the miracle blades and while they aren't the best quality handles, ect. They do stay very sharp. I have had mine for 2 years and all the knives are still sharp. I ended up getting sets for all my close friends as wedding presents.

Years ago I fell for the "Flying Lure"
