Which infomercial Gizmos really work? The GH Research Institute tested as-seen-on-TV products to find the deals--and the duds.(the goods: WHAT TO BUY, WHAT TO SKIP)(Buyers guide)
Our Infomercial Ratings (Absolutely Free!)
You've seen these ads--all promising to save you time and money--on TV and the Web. But sometimes the claims are so amazing, you can't tell if you should place a rush order-or laugh at the spokesperson for thinking you're that gullible. We tested 14 of the most frequently advertised products to find out which ones you can trust. Don't pick up the phone until you read our surprising results.
***** VIDALIA CHOP WIZARD
$19.95 plus $6.95 shipping THE PITCH "Chop your prep time in half" with a tool that can dice any fruit or veggie in one swift motion. The grid-like blades also cube cheese.
THE TRUTH Hake room on the counter: There's a new kitchen staple in town. In our tests, the chopper diced everything-from tomatoes to pears--faster and more precisely than a traditional blade. Potatoes take some effort, but Wizard-ing them is still less work than old-fashioned slicing and dicing.
