Who hasn't spent a little too much time glued to the telly, mysteriously sucked into an infommercial, hypnotized by the repetitive promises of an end-be-all home solution for a problem we didn't even know we had prior to watching? Whether it be for a swiveling sweeper, multi-use ladder, or a modular storage system with a spinning storage rack, there's a universal guilty pleasure most people fess up to with a little prodding:
As Seen On TV products.
We've been considering reviewing As Seen On TV products, to test the validity of their claims, review the quality and finish in person, and to just give ourselves an excuse to give into our late-night infommercial jones. But we wanted the ATLA readership to play a part and help pick which product we should review. Help us choose which household As Seen On TV item we put to the test!

ok, my friend is a vet. i was complaining to him about my new cat & how much more she sheds than the other cat. he told me about the furminator. it's $ for a brush, but i found PLENTY of brand new ones on ebay.
let me tell you, that thing is AMAZING! it's kinda scary looking, but well worth the money. think of of all the money you'll save on swiffers & lint rollers.

I tried the Rejuvenate Restoration Kit, and it didn't do anything. I think the floor actually looks duller then before I did it. At least I got it on clearance at Target, so I didn't blow a lot of money. I guess there was a reason it was on clearance.

The One Sweep has only One purpose: To pick up pet hair, which it does a FAB job. I got mine at Bed Bath & Boyfriend for a lot less than I would have on TV!
Otherwise: Jenniejen is right, it sucks.

The Washermate isn't terribly useful for men. For starters, it doesn't spin. It just swirls the water around - you have to fill it and dump it yourself. I got one as a gift, but I've only used it a couple of times, when i had some small garments that wouldn't quite fit in with the rest of a regular load in the washer. I chucked 'em in with the regular wash in time for the final spin.
Women might find it useful for washing bras and panties and such.

I vote furminator! I have an Australian Shepherd- who in addition to having a lot of wiley hair,, has a shepard UNDERCOAT. (Little did I know when I adopted her I was getting colonies of multiplying dust bunnies as well). The Furminator totally kicks dust bunny butt!
