TV PRODUCTS THAT DO/ DON'T WORK — Page 2

Er...my Split Ender didn't work, I even tried with very little hair. Maybe it was defective. When I opened the compartment, there were no hairs in it like there was supposed to be.

Oh... I forgot about the vacuum saver!!!!! This thing sucks all the air out of the bags and the food does not go stale! Which is awesome because one of my biggest pet peeves is stale food! I won't eat it!!!! My sister says she can't taste the difference, but she's a freak! This thing is an absolute godsend!!! I always hated when I opened a bag of crackers and the next day they were all stale. It's grose. And no freezer burn on left overs eaither. This thing really works. It's a bit of an investment though. Plus you can use it for so many other things too, not just food. You can vacuum save valuable stuff too. It's just great. Couldn't live without it!

you can order them on line, and it's pretty much the same you pay for ziploc bags or something like that....

Well, my Mom got me the turbo cooker and the vacuum saver last Christmas cuz' I'd always watch the infomercials and just be like... I WANT THAT! IF I HAD THE TURBO COOKER - I'D COOK EVERY NIGHT. So she bought them and needless to say I don't cook EVERY night, but often. They're both on the pricey side. If you find it under $100 bucks GET IT! I don't think you'll see much lower than that. And I recommend buying it on-line, not over the phone. But if you have an "As Seen on TV" store at your mall, like we do you could try there.

We got a Food Saver but barely use it.

I want a Revo Styler now! Does it really make your hair straight...because if I blow dry my hair, it is kind of straight but there is always that small wave towards the bottom.

Hey! Don't mock me!

I recently bought a new straightner. It's great, but it works best if I air dry my hair, because too much heat can be bad (if I blow dried it). Except, one side always flairs out a bit, I hate that! My hair straightener was $37.99.

FloweryFriend:
This is a reply to your message about Huggable Hangers. Did you buy them on TV or find them in a store...and what store?

I fell prey to an infomercial a while back and bought one of Ron Popeil's pasta machines. What a piece of crap. It made decent pasta, but cleaning it was virtually impossible. It went to the parish rummage sale within weeks!

I bought the pancake flipper because I always mess up pancakes when turning them. No matter what I used to grease that piece of crap, the pancake would always stick to the pan and not flip when I turned it over. Went into the trash.

No thanks. First off, I like clean hair. Secondly, I embraced my curls all my life and now that there is finally a simple method for straightening it, I'm in heaven. Some days I go curly and some straight.

I have wavy, bordering on curly, below shoulder length hair. Some days, especially when the humidity is high, I just leave it au natural and let it dry on its own...which usually takes just about the length of time it takes me to drive to work. But in the winter or when I need to look more "corporately acceptable", I'll use the blow dryer in conjunction with the RevoStyler. My hair has suffered much less breakage using that instead of a regular brush. And lord know it's much better off for not being fried by a curling iron.

As much fun as people tend to make of infomercials (yes, even me)...some of the products really *are* pretty remarkable. I am inclined to be defensive about caving in and buying things sold via infomercial, but truth be told, I've had a pretty high satisfaction rate from the purchases I've made.
