I have never bought anything advertised on an infomercial, but I have definitely been tempted . . . thank God for satellite tv or I probably would own something ridiculous that would end up in next year's yard sale. That's the beauty of 500+ channels. I did WANT an Oreck vacuum cleaner as a result of a terrible infomercial. I was impressed with the one that survived Katrina and still worked. I'm a sucker.
