Zorbeez Infomercial Review

Zorbeez Infomercial Review

I don’t know if it is just me or does the infomercial for Zorbeez seem strikingly familiar to that of another super absorbent towel? I can tell you one thing though, the Zorbeez does have one thing that the other guys don’t, and that is Billy Mays. I mean come on. The guy is like an infomercial legend. If he says is great, I trust him.

If I wash my truck, (more like make the kids) I can use Zorbeez to dry it. If I bathe the dog, Zorbeez will dry him. If I have friends over and they spill some thing, no more paper towels that just get the surface moisture, now I have the Zorbeez to “vacuum” up the moisture under the carpet. Who really likes spending so much money a year on paper towels? I sure as heck don’t.

Basically, the Zorbeez is made with a super absorbent material holds up to “20 oz” of fluid and can not be matched it is fluid sucking powers. I would normally get items I see in infomercials as gifts for other people, but I think this time I will splurge a little on my self and spend a whopping ten dollars on 8, yes that’s 8, Zorbeez.

Rejuvenate Auto Infomercial Review

Rejuvenate Auto Infomercial Review

I am not much of an auto guy. Yeah I think I take pretty good care of my vehicle, you know, I get the oil changed regularly, I wash it annually, and I do check things like the oil, tire pressure and other fluids. Heck, I even rotate my own tires (that’s no small feat in today’s pay someone else to do it society). Although I do all these things to make sure my truck stays in good working condition, it is dwarfed in comparison with what my father does.

If my vehicle doesn’t make any noises and runs smooth and gets me where I need to be, then I am happy. My dad however, meticulously cleans the interior and exterior of his vehicles and I must say, they always look immaculate. This is where Rejuvenate Auto comes in. According to the infomercial, Rejuvenate Auto can wash and wax a vehicle in 15 min. All right, I am skeptical about the time frame promise as well, but I know my dad will use this stuff. He is always outside with a duster after the wind has been blowing to get the dust off, a little obsessive if you ask me. Any ways, since my child hood a safe gift to get my dad was car stuff. Whether that is cleaner, wax, bug deflector, you name it, he would love it. And since Christmas is coming up and he hates it when I spend too much on him, ten bucks ain’t too bad and its like a buy one get a bunch of other stuff for free. Maybe I can get him to do my truck once, but I am not getting my hopes up.

Thigh Glider Infomercial Review

Thigh Glider Infomercial Review

When I am bored and nothing seems to be on television, I like to check out what kind of infomercials are on. Last week I happened upon the Thigh Glider. This machine that claims to “easily” and “gracefully” firm and tone a woman’s butt and thighs. Lets just say I was immediately intrigued at the models in the infomercial. I am just a guy and seeing the motion of the models wasn’t hard to look at, in fact it was hard to look away. However, I do come from an exercise physiology background and I have to say the machine and motion that it has you do seems sound.

My girlfriend, like any woman I guess, always complains about little spots on her body that she doesn’t like. I see nothing wrong, but she complains nonetheless. That spot on her body does happen to be her inner thighs (a bit specific if you ask me) and I try to do everything I can with her to help her be more comfortable with her body. We run, hike, mt. bike, swim, go to the gym, and since I come from the background I do, I try to help her target the area she so loathes. I think the Thigh Glider would be perfect for her. So we aren’t exactly to the point in our relationship where I can buy her a workout machine, and if I am going to come out of the blue to suggest it, I must be very careful. That ground is on a slippery slope. That said, when she gets into another fret about how she hates her “inner” thighs, I know what I am going to say. The Thigh Glider can help with that, and I hope she wants one (and that’s not because I think she needs it )

Nuwave Oven Infomercial Review

Nuwave Oven Infomercial Review

Does anybody out there really like taking more time to cook his or her food and end up with it tasting bland and full of fat? I don’t think so. That is why I feel the Nuwave Oven is so incredible. I do not currently have one, (although I soon will I hope) however, I was at a buddies house and his mom made everything we ate practically in the Nuwave Oven. As we sat down at the table to enjoy the food we had been smelling and salivating over for the last half hour, I was blown away at the spread of options. (It is no secret why college kids like to go home) I asked, “Man, this must have take you forever to cook all this? That’s why I only cook one thing and not a bunch of sides and what not.” She just kinda looked at me funny and said, “It wasn’t that hard.” I was baffled, how could so much deliciousness come from the kitchen?

Well, she showed me and it answered it all. The Nuwave Oven was sitting right there in the middle of the counter and she proceeded to tell me how much healthier the food is because it drips off more fat, and how much quicker it is because of the, and I quote her, “Three methods of cooking,” that she proceeded to explain in depth to me. As I look back at the situation, I kinda laugh a bit because it really was just about as corny as the scenarios you see in the infomercials. But it all made so much sense.

I don’t think that the Nuwave Oven is going to turn me into this master chef with a repertoire of food selections to make, but if it is going to cut my cook time and make the food delicious while all being easier on me, it is sold.

Circle Glide: Infomercial Review

Circle Glide: Infomercial Review

My sister is quite the fitness freak,but nothing excited her more about exercise than this Circle Glide product that she invited me to see. So I checked out the commercial online before going over to watch her on it.

This device has you stretching your legs way out and back in and then your whole waist-and-legs section twisting back and forth. To be honest, I understand why they only show women using the Circle Glide, because I don't know a guy coordinated enough to do those moves without falling and hurting something.

My sister, though, looks just as great doing the exercises as the girls on the commercial. Still, I found myself snickering a bit watching the infomercial.

"Do you wish there was a way to make working out a lot quicker and a lot more fun?" the commercial starts. Quicker, yes. More fun? No....just less painful. And again, from the male perspective, nothing about moving your body into those positions that God never intended looks even vaguely "fun."

Must be fun for the ladies, though. They all have this bizarre smile pasted on their faces as they exercise. Why is it that women in exercise commercials always smile all the way through it? I tend to grunt a lot when I exercise. And cry--lots of crying. Very little smiling.

Also amusing in the commercial: They promise that after using the Circle Glide you can feel confident wearing these short-short-shorts. Then they show the actual women who made the testimonials, and trust me, I wouldn't want to see ANY of them in short shorts.

I can't knock it,, because Circle Glide keeps my sister motivated in her exercise routine. Although even she doesn't really smile when she exercises.

Personal Trainer in a Box: Infomercial Review

Personal Trainer in a Box: Infomercial Review

"120 proven exercises so you and your muscles will never be bored." That's the premise behind the new commercial for Personal Trainer in a Box. Ironic considering the incredibly boring commercial itself.

GOOD GRIEF!!! Does this infomercial need a make-over! I'm sure the musical score uses a total of two different chords throughout the 5 minutes (or was it 500?). The spokesperson herself, inventor or not, has a voice that is both monotone and ingratiatingly-screetchy. And rather than showing people actually doing her exercises, almost the entire ad is her walking and talking! Lori said that when she went to the gym, her muscles were bored. I'm sure. In fact, I'm sure her bones, her hair, her nails, every part of her is bored stiff and itching to detach themselves.
As a person who has sworn off exercising (I don't like pain), I probably won't bother with Personal Trainer in a Box. My sister, though, was fascinated enough that she ordered it, and she says she has never been so motivated to get in shape as she has been since using the program. Me? I can't get over the commercial.

Like the part where Lori shows her pictures when she was overweight. Am I the only one who was not repulsed by those, but thought she was still hot looking even then?

Lori says her product is unique because it's nearly 200 cards that you store in this box, each with a unique exercise on it. The concept is that you can't let your muscles know what's coming next; you have to confuse them. And then the announcer at the end says it's a $300 value for less than $80. Confusing your muscles? You've just confused me. If you're the only one offering this product, how do you figure its regular price is $300? Still, my sister says it saves her a lot over a gym membership and is a bargain.

But if boring your muscles really is the concern....then don't let them see this commercial.
