Beware of ShamWow imitators.

Thanks AMN. Did I get the real thing, or not? :confused: I ordered a case of them, I hope they aren't knock offs. :wink:

What's a ShamWow? If it's an imitator of a sham, isn't it redundant? Or does that make it the real thing? What am I talking about?

:Ponder: :ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO::ROTFLMAO: :Soapbox: :nopity:

:Scratch-Head::Scratch-Head:I'm going to have to get back to you on this one. It seems to me I did hear about the imitator ShamWow not being as good as the real ShamWow's. I can't remember where I heard or read that. Consumer Reports Digest or magazine maybe?

I'm wondering if a whole truckload of Shamnows would help in a flood? :p

lol Sally...I did see the commercial for original..with the WARNING...beware of any imitation shamwows.....I thought...how does someone truely imitate a shamwow!!

can i use it with my left hand? if not, i am not interested in the real thing or an imitation. :Scratch-Head:

I think they make a left-handed model.

:yahoo: i think i am going to be left handed for a while!

all i got to say is

SCAM WOW

Frank you dont believe in the WOW...hehehe come on ...you think something sold on TV is a scam....:p

You can use them with your left
You can use them with your right
You can use them with your feet
In the daytime or the night
Use them always, Cheryl-I-Am
Just don't get taken by imitation Sham...Wow.

Have I been living on a different planet, or is it that I don't watch the shopping channel? :rolleyes:

Can I live without a ShamWow, or do I need one immediately? :eek:

I want to use them with my feet!! :D

Wow......wonder if they could make Depends out of something like this?! :p

Is it ok to fold a ShamWOW with my Flip-n-Fold?

the knock offs
 

the knock offs are called Zorbees. If you type into Google
both names with the word review...you can see what other people think of them both.

Zorbrees were considered a waste, poor quality, and many reviewers were pretty angry.

ShamWow, which I had been looking at, got so-so reviews.
Not sterling. I saw them at Bed Bath and Beyond over the weekend. For $19.99.

I am thinking of getting a box with one of the coupons, I have, to use up north on our pontoon boat...it gets alot of DEW being open. I bought a microfiber towel last summer at Murray's to soak up the dew and it worked pretty well. It was $8.95.

I try to only use a TV promoted thing when they come down to the stores locally. Typically the online/TV sales involve scams involving shipping and latching onto your credit cards illegally. This is a huge problem. Beware of "free"...as you often end up paying MORE for the free item than not.

I bet Montana could learn to use them! LOL! We could make one of the Geico like commercials -- so easy to use even a Service Dog can use them!!

*I need more coffee, less pain, and more drugs - or some combination*

I think I must have a "Sam" shamwow to go with my "Sven" Roomba.:rolleyes::D

Ok totally off topic here but . . . Every time I see the title of this thread I think, "Warning! This could get ugly" or "Warning! Kids, don't try this at home." LOL

Ok back to the ShamWow imitators . . .

Great idea! He can come along behind me and wipe up all my spills, then clean up after himself after he drools and dribbles water! :D

If you had ever seen the commercials, you would know how close you are to being right..:eek:

OK....I have a question. I saw the infomercial on TV this morning and they say that you can "just throw them in the washer" and reuse them. What's keeping them from absorbing all the water in the washer?? :confused: If they absorb 20X their weight in liquid....what if you put several in there at one time....what happens? :confused:

And WHY hasn't AMN come back to this thread????? Is she laughing at all of us while we ponder the wonders of the ShamWow?

I'm going to have to pay attention to that ad. Of course, I don't watch too much tv so I may have to see if I can find the infomercial on the internet.

Kelly, you bring up a very good point. What would happen? Would it break the washer? Will ShamWow replace the washer if it breaks? Or will the become ScamNow? Hmmmmmm!

I have read on the "review" sites, that Zorbees shred up in the wash like felt.

The ShamWows would need to be squeezed out some I would guess and dried carefully. I tweeked the bottom of the box open at Bed/Bath and felt them. They are rough/dry/hard and felty feeling (but not soft like felt) They are some kind of compressed fiber...not woven. I don't see them lasting 10 years...that is a pretty lame claim IMO. I have also read that if not used exactly a certain way, they push the liquid around and absorb NOTHING.

Some guys on those review sites say that microfiber towels you can get at auto parts stores for washing cars are superior.
So I bought a towel instead and used it last season. It worked very well, and dried very quickly for boat issues.

Trish when i see it i think warning will robison warning

has anyone ever bought the scam wows? do they work? oh melody

I had a total of six ShamWow messages in my spam folder this morning... :eek:
