I love mine too. Although I’ve had mine for about 20 years now. It’s called by the fancier French name, chamois.
I swear by OxiClean, the powdered kind, but of course that’s in stores these days.
I also have this tupperware where each piece is its own tupperware, but can be combined with any other size as a lid so that you can store more stuff in them. IOW, every piece is a lid and a container. Hmm - I don’t think I’m explaining this correctly, hold on…
…and I’m back. Here’s a video.
Our Forman Grill got lots of use. The early versions had a drip tray that was WAY too small. If you cooked anything remotely greasy, the tray was nearly impossible to empty without spilling, and it often actually overflowed. Later models had a more respectable capacity. They also went from one temp to an adjustable temp, which I didnt like. With one setting, all you had to do was get used to how long it took to cook whatever it was. With the adjustable temp I had to remember TWO whole variables for each thing to cook. But, in general the grills seem pretty well made and worked well once you got the hang of it.
And my ronco egg cuber? Its the bomb. I have yet to find a better way to make a cubical boiled egg.
That’s as good an example as I can think of for a “created need.” 
The George Foreman grill comes in handy if you like grilling but live in an apt bldg, where you typically can’t cook out. I’ve also had good experiences with the Bamboo Steamer, Museum Putty, and the Ped Egg (not all at once of course; that would be weird).
I had a magic bullet and I HATED that thing. It was a gift from my MIL. I think I was using it for the wrong things. I tried to make salsa in it and ended up with mush on the bottom and whole veggies on top. We gave it away after several attempts to make items from the cookbook it came with.
Maybe I was expecting to much of it, though. I can see how it would have made a great coffee grinder.
About 20 years ago, I bought a Ronco Food Dehydrator (5 trays). Absolutely love it. Makes awesome jerky.
That stupid plastic cylinder that they claim you can cook pasta in by just adding boiling water - a total waste for time and money. You might be able to heat frozen edamame in it, but nothing else will ever cook.
Those stacking plastic tubs with the same sized tops that all fit on the lazy Susan? LOVE EM!
Is this different from what I posted in post #21? (Not snarky, just want to know)
I forgot about the chamois! My mom had one way back in the 80’s and early 90’s. She used it to dry her hair after a shower. She also had one of those immersion blenders that were sold on infomercials in the 80’s. She used it to make liver pate and I used it to make whipped cream. I have a set of Miracle Blades, which I love.
I wanted one of those food dehydrators and I tried to convince my mom to buy one for YEARS. She never gave in. I did finally buy a Ronco juicer and I do like it very much.
Probably talking about this.
Yep. Ours is 11 years old and still working well.
My wife uses the magic bullet all the time. The secret to getting the big pieces is to pick it up and shake it. I teased her a lot when she got it, so she makes a point of buying things just to put into it. But, I catch her using the hand blender all the time too. But, the MB does do a decent job grinding ice.
We used to use the Ped Egg all the time (I would use it on my wife to get her in the mood.) Suddenly, she doesn’t want her feet egg’d anymore.
I got a dog grooming brush similar to this design. I guess there’s infomercials about it. But, this design is the most amazing grooming brush ever. If I wanted to, I could probably take off half my dog’s hair.
My wife and I both now have the Tempurpedic bed. Even the salesman we bought it from has it. By far, this is the best bed money can buy. Don’t forget the matching neck pillows.
Nope, they’re called the Smart Spin System™

ETA:What Heraldgwena said
Must…have…
I have 2 of those. One is still in the box for when the first one finally dies and all the little bits go missing =)
We’ve only used it twice, but the Rotato electric potato peeler works. It’s also entertaining to see that long thin strand of peel. For fun we shaved off a strand of potato and fried it. (It tasted like a potato chip.)
I love myFasta Pasta, but wish that it could make more than 4 servings at a time.
Am I crazy for thinking sometimes, “Hmmm, I could use that gadget, but if I give them my address and credit card number I’m going to be on every crap mailing list in the world within fifteen minutes–hmmm, better not”?
I also love the Ped-Egg, and my Mom has a Scunci steamer that she likes a lot.
My favorite infomercial purchase was the Total Trolley. Looks like it’s being sold very few places now. This thing is a workhorse! Best piece of equipment I ever bought for my business. I’ve had to repair one of the hinges with a steel bolt, but that was minimal. I don’t now how I’d do my Saturday market without it, because we’re not allowed to unload our vehicles right at our spaces, so I have to truck it all in. I can do it all in two loads, and lemme tell ya, I have a lot of crap to schlep.
Anyone who’s used those - how well do the lids fit on? Any leak problems with liquids?
