Tksoard | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 08:50 am     Grooch, you guys are not going to believe this, but nothing on TV so I went LOOKING for infommercials!!! I wanted to see the Steam Bullet. I found it, and while watching it, I decided I was going to order it. Then came the price!! Grooch, it is 3 easy payments of 49.95!! I would pay one payment, but for $150.00, I'll have to think about it alittle more. I hope you realized this before you ordered it!! I have the tap lights, too. I thought they would be really neat, so I turned one on as a night light in the bathroom. The next morning, it was dead. They might be good for some situations, but for night lights, forget it. I only paid for shipping and handleing because it was a "BUT WAIT!! ORDER IN THE NEXT 30 MINUTES, AND IT'S FREE!!" I've ordered tapes from Time Life, and the will NEVER let you go. I'll never make that mistake again!! Phone calls every week telling you about new tapes. Hate that!!! Willi, what have you decided about the Smart Chopper?  |
Grooch | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 09:08 am     I missed the 3 payments part. I thought it was only 1 payment of $49.95. Thanks, TK. I can know happily pass on the steam bullet. |
Whoami | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 09:54 am     Tksoard, Boy do I hear you on that Time-Life thing! I bought a set of tapes a couple of years ago from AM Gold (are they the same thing), and they STILL call me with this "wonderful new offer" thing. Every now and then, I see a collection of music that looks appealing, then I see it's from them, and I say "never mind!" |
Tksoard | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 12:15 pm     Whoami, that is exactly like me!! Some of that music really does sound great. I did check to see about a web site and not leave my phone number, but I can't remember what I found out. It must not have be good. The only way I got rid of them was I signed up for that "no phone call" harrasement thing, and the next time they called, I really gave them HE77!!!!! And gee, they never called back. I hate being mean to them, but they wouldn't take "leave me alone" as a good answer.  |
Willi | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 12:34 pm     Oh yes TK. Smart chopper for me! I can chase people with it if it doesn't work.

Angelnikki | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 02:51 pm     ok heres a new one. has anyone ordered the sonic electric toothbrush the one that does the 31,000 strokes per minute(every womans dream LOL) but seriously, it comes with free replacement brushes for life every three months. it has tounge cleaners and sonic flosser. it looks really worth the 100.00. can anyone tell me if you think its worth it? |
Grooch | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:26 pm     I have the sonic toothbrush. I bought it at Walmart a year or two ago. I love it. About that time I got a new dentist. He does a lot of special work with cancer patients and he does dental work on the animals at the local zoo (gave a root canal to a tiger, he must be good.) Anyway, I saw that he had the sonic toothbrush in his office. I didn't say a word about it. I started using it and didn't mention it to him and a few months later he mentioned how much better my gums looked. I will endorse it. (But I bought mine at Walmart, not on tv and it did not have the extra things you are mentioning. Since they sell it at stores, I would buy it there. Any problem, they will refund your money, no question asked.) Here's a link. sonic toothbrush |
Wink | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:41 pm     Against my better judgement I have been sent to this thread to ask about a kitchen product. Those of you who know me also know I would have absolutely no interest in a kitchen utensil however my daughter would like to know if anyone here has ever used the food dehydrator and the pros and cons. She seems to think it would be fun eating a bunch of dried up shriveled food. |
Grooch | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:49 pm     Personally, I see no use in it. Maybe if I was going on Survivor or something, then I could maybe find a use for it. |
Car54 | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:51 pm     Is this nicole's tooth brush? Wink, my cousin has that dehydrator thing, but they don't eat the food, they make crafts- like dried apple slices on wreaths, etc. Who knew. |
Wink | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:52 pm     Personally the only thing I find useful in the kitchen is the chef. |
Wink | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 03:53 pm     Thanks Car. I'll pass that along. |

Sunshinemiss | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 04:27 pm     Wink, the best use I have found for my food dehydrator is for spices and herbs. Stores charge so bloody much for one little bottle of dried onions or oregano and the dehydrator will take care of those in a jiffy, fresher and much cheaper. The fruit rolls, eh, not so good, they don't taste as good as the storebought ones. The turkey jerky was kind of icky too, the flavor was good but the texture was wrong.. beef might be better but the spices you use for it are pretty expensive, you might be better off just buying the beef jerky. Yes I am a kitchen gadget junkie. I admit it, and I am not ashamed. (Cluttered, yes, broke also, but still shopping to "support the economy", he-he) |
Wink | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 04:31 pm     Thanks Sunshine. From what she said it sounds like she is mainly interested in dried fruit. I can't believe this is my child. What the heck is wrong with a nice juicy apple??? |
Grooch | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 05:09 pm     Maybe if you had fed her a few when she was growing up, she wouldn't have gone astray.  |
Willi | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 06:30 pm     It wouldn't have mattered...They go whichever way they think will make you crazy!
I wish I could help with a dehydrator suggestion Wink but I've never used one. |
Angelnikki | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 06:33 pm     grooch, i just looked on your link and thats not the same one im talking about. the one im talkin about has a round head and comes with 2 brush heads, 2 flosser heads, 2 tongue scrappers and 4 syringes filled with whitening solution that you use once a week. you get free brushes every 3 months for life when you order on tv and you pay in five payments of 19.95 have you seen the commercial??? |
Grooch | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 06:47 pm     Not yet, AN. But my kitten wakes me up at 5 am every morning, on the dot. I will keep a lookout for it and let you know. |
Angelnikki | Sunday, November 18, 2001 - 11:04 pm     ok grooch, i saw the commercial again and its called the cybersonic toothbrush. just a little different but seems worth it. i told my boyfriend and he said for me to order it and that will be my b day present since its in 10 days. |
Mssilhouette | Monday, November 19, 2001 - 11:21 am     Once again Informerical lovers, don't forget to check out http://www.asseenontv.com for all your lovely informerical products. But act now! Because in the 30 seconds or so they'll...um ..err ahh...Oh okay! They'll still be there! But act fast! Operators are standing by! ---------- My boyfriend has orded that Ronco Showtime Rotisserie and is hoping to have it before thanksgiving so he can roast a turkey. I know most people love this machine so I'm sure he'll do fine, but I'll let you all know what he thinks of it. I'm stilling looking for reviews of Epil Stop & Spray. http://www.epil-stop.com |
Car54 | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 05:37 am     Ok, I am not usually home in the daytime, but just saw something I think I want- I think it was called the Zapper, and when you pick up a call that is dialled by computer-so I guess that would be the telemarking stuff, it zaps their computer and takes your phone number off their list. I get 2 or 3 calls a day- I think I would like this. |
Cinnamongirl | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 09:06 am     OMG Car54, that sounds too good to be true. I would order one in a heartbeat. I have the food dehydrator. I've used it plenty. Beef Jerky is great! (never tried the turkey jerky). Its perfect for dried fruit, I even liked the fruit leather stuff too. My brother has one too, and he uses his mainly for dried herbs. |
Wink | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 09:11 am     Thanks Cinnamon. |
Car54 | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 09:36 am     Yeah, the commercial has been on twice today-I am really wanting this zapper thing. It is at K-mart, so I want to go look at it! I would love to zap those automatic call computers! It said if you answer the call it sends the signal. Wonder if it works if your machine picks up? OH, this would be great! I hate those calls! |
