<p>I have resisted the temptation to buy most of the products advertised on infomercials. The few I have have mostly been a disappointment. The Pedegg worked pretty well though. So I was watching the view when they were doing a spot on new products and the guy mentioned a product called “Smooth Away” for hair removal. I would have ignored him, but the said he was the one who had recommended the pedegg.</p>
<p>So has anybody tried “Smooth Away”? How well did it work?</p>
<p>Any other products that are too good to be true would you recommend?</p>
<p>3bm-
Is it similar to smooooth legs? [Smooooth</a> Legs](<a href=“http://smoooothlegs.com/]Smooooth”>http://smoooothlegs.com/) I bought this at a local home show (to replace travelling with a razor) and its actually pretty nifty. Warning: dont use it under your arms right before applying deoderant. OUCH!</p>
<p>One of the morning shows did l bit recently onteh “as seen on TV” stuff. They said pedipaws was “ok” for small dogs (though many were scared of it) but pretty useless on larger dogs.</p>
<p>And mathmom-- the solution for ouchless armpits is… long sleeves,??? :D</p>
<p>Pedipaws? H thought it was a good idea. The ad shows an old, mellow dog who seems to be enjoying the procedure. They say it works for cats, too. Somehow I just I can’t picture my squirmy, playful kitten doing the same!
The best “as seen on TV” product so far is Oxyclean - it does work. I bought “as seen on TV” vegetable chopper at a local store, but that has been a huge disappointment.</p>
<p>Ah come on…doesn’t anyone have a “Vegomatic”? That was the original “as seen on tv” product. I’ve never owned one, but they sure looked nifty on TV. We have an odd lot store near here and almost everything that is “as seen on TV” ends up there at a much reduced price. Once or twice a year, they have a WHOLE aisle of these treasures. They are still trying to sell the pasta cooker (it looks like a plastic round, tall jar and supposedly you put the pasta in it and the water and microwave it…it doesn’t work). Last week, they were selling a Sally Hansen facial hair remover product for only $3.</p>
<p>I, too, would love to hear if anyone has had any luck with Pedipaws. I have a miniature schnauzer (about 17 lbs.), so I don’t know if she would qualify as a ‘small’ dog.</p>
<p>Is it just me, or does anyone else see the Target ad filled with “as seen on TV” novelties, such as my very disappointing Vidalia vegetable slicer?</p>
<p>Here’s the link from Good Morning America on their review of “pedipaws” [ABC</a> News: Infomercial Products: We Try Before You Buy](<a href=“Infomercial Products: We Try Before You Buy - ABC News”>Infomercial Products: We Try Before You Buy - ABC News) Someone posted in the comments below the piece that Pedipaws is a cheap knockoff of a pet electric nail groomer that is expensive but more effective. I always hated clipping the dogs nails. Would rather pay the groomer to do it.</p>
<p>Ever gone to one of the “As seen on TV” stores at the malls? They give you a chance to at least look at the workmanship of the products and are a very entertaining experience!</p>
<p>jym626 - I’d pay for the electric nail groomer if it worked. My dog really needs to have her nails trimmed between six week appointments at the groomer, but I just never get her in. I was told they shouldn’t be so long as to click when they walk on hard surfaces. But our groomer uses standard nail clippers (now that I think about it, perhaps I haven’t seen what she uses). Our old groomer used the standard ones, like ones people use, except for dogs. At home, whenever our dog hears (although she is sort of going deaf) someone clipping their toes, she runs away because she doesn’t like the noise. However, the new groomer says she behaves really well when they trim her nails so I should find out what she’s using. She had two interdigital cysts last month, one on each front paw, and the vet commented that her nails were very long. When they healed and I took her to the groomer, the groomer said she behaved perfectly when they did her nails, so maybe they are using something that’s less traumatic.</p>
<p>I have had lots of requests for the Pedipaws and the product is now available to independent pet shops. That said, I’ve also talked about the product with my fellow pet shop owners – and what we are hearing is that it works fine on little dogs, but not enough power for big dogs. It’s really like a dremel – but a dremel is more powerful. </p>
<p>Essentially, y ou get what you pay for, which is not much!</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses on Pedipaws. I have an 85 pounder at home (German Shepherd and Akeeta mix). I am going to stick to bringing her to her vet once a month for trimming her nails. </p>
<p>By the way, anyone tried the floor mop they advertise? The one you can supposedly fill up with just water and steam tiles on the floor with? What are your experiences with this one?</p>
