Infomercial products that are actually good

Please forgive me; I’ve been giggling wildly since I read this. I (think I) know you go to Renaissance Fairs, but I had this image of Prehistory Woman, applying her makeup. :smiley:

Exactly! lol Most of the music/pagan festivals I go to are not makeup free zones after dark. Gotsta look gooooood around the bonfire, ya know! And juggling liquid makeup, a mirror and a flashlight while bouncing around on an air mattress are not as easy as you might think! Mineral makeup rocks - looks subtle enough to pull off the “What makeup? I’m a naturally beautiful hippie chick!” that I don’t need a mirror for, or you can glam it up and go bold for party night looks.

I’ve been wondering about the Windshield Wonder. Modern cars, like my Fit, have this cab-forward design that makes for long shelf-like dashboard and steeply raked windshields. It’s almost impossible to clean the inside of the windshield, so this item, if it really works, looks like the ticket. I’ll try one now.

I bought one of those back in college and it worked perfectly.

My parents have one of those Ronco rotisseries and they use it all the time. It works pretty good, I’d get one myself if I had more counter space in the kitchen.

I remember when it was just plain indian earth

I actually have one of these and it works quite well. It also fits very nicely in the glove compartment for easy storage.

It seems that a problem with these infomercial products would be long-term quality. Even if they do work well for what they say, it seems they cut every corner they can to get the $19.99 price point or whatever.

For instance, I would never buy anything that has a motor under high stress such as a vacuum, blender, weed eater, etc. No doubt it works well out of the box, but I would seriously doubt it would continue working for years.

Tee hee. These are all funnier when you still think it’s a vibrator.

I don’t think it would be fair to neglect the Micro Touch. https://www.asseenontv.com/micro-touch-magic-max/detail.php?p=294405&v=best-sellers

These things work perfectly-at least on ears/noses. One time makes it worth the purchase price.

Damn zombie threads.

I saw this and was going to talk about my Foreman Grill and Ronco Egg cuber. And what did I see? A post from me talking about my Foreman Grill and Ronco Egg cuber!

My magic bullet finally died and I had to replace it this year. Not a bad lifetime for such a well used piece of equipment. So far MBv2.0 is doing an excellent job.

I’m sure I could do without it if I needed to, but my FlipFold has made doing laundry so much easier. I got it like 5 years ago, and it’s still going strong.

The Jack LaLanne juicer makes excellent juice but is a son-of-a-b to clean.

It didn’t work at all for my daughter. She may have just as well sprinkled water on her face. Retin-A and Accutane finally worked.

Are Sham-wows made of chamois, or an imitation? I know my dad had a chamois, but that was before polyester and micro fleece and such.

Same here. Sorry to be off-topic, but this is really close to my heart. Roaccutane literally saved my life, saved me from becoming just another teenage suicide. There are acne cases where topical treatment, be it Proactive or anything else, is just not gonna cut it.

How about the Bass-o-Matic?

I don’t know. Is it actually any good?

I’m still using my Miracle Blade II knife set years after buying it… They are fantastic knives. Compared to my dad’s $300.00 knife set, I can’t tell a difference.

How about the Amish Heatsurge fireplace? Anybody have one?

They claim it only costs 9 cents per hour to operate.

That is what you should expect from an electric heater. Apparently it is a 1 KW electric heater. $.09/KWH would be about the going rate: Electricity - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
