ShamWow Review 2018! As Seen on TV Classic!

How is it with blood? just asking for a friend

great , if you use it right away

It is great I used it when I shot a guy because he didn’t give me the money he owed me

[@blueclothes1]

I bought Shamwow towels when it first came out. I was very happy with them until they wore out. I also made the mistake of putting them in the dryer so that is mostly my fault.

[@ConnerTheCrusader]

I am Shamwowed by this review (please don't hate me)

[@ERKNEES2]

It kind of looked like the water was slightly yellow when you ran it out the first time

[@Freakinreviews]

It was!

[@arxsyn]

This happens to me too. The water supply is treated with a form of bleach. Anytime l use a new towel or whatever the dye runs due to the beach in the water!

[@851995STARGATE]

@@arxsyn probably overtreated with chlorine, would be smart to filter your water if that's the case

[@851995STARGATE]

@@brokenlegs8431 My house has a reverse osmosis filter for the kitchen sink and drinking water, and I can tell you off the bat it definitely does remove chlorine. It's not a gullible scam, if its enough to remove dye it's worth looking into.

[@shanethrelfall416]

Never drink yellow water and never eat yellow snow

[@danbanuelos3368]

The carpet they use in the ads, are most likely made of polypropylene fibers, which is an extruded plastic fiber. It is non-absorbant, and generally doesn't fade. This is what most exterior carpets and grass carpets are made of. The backing also is made of plastic or other non-absorbant, and mildew resistant materials. You might try the carpet test again with that type carpet.

[@Blox117]

polypropylene does degrade under UV light

[@AlexMiller6]

If you watch the original ad, you'll see they clean up under the carpet before revealing it. It's a different shot.

[@Freakinreviews]

If their demonstrations only yield impressive results with a specific type of carpet (and this isn't stated in the commercial or instructions), then those demonstrations are essentially meaningless.

[@DeadPizza]

@@AlexMiller6 but explain the real life version of the test

[@kealme3553]

@@Freakinreviews its because most carpeters use that type, so its not the provider of the shamwow's fault, its the outdated carpet!

[@susanmuse7780]

I used to have a friend that sold these all over the country. He showed me how to properly use them and I was off and running with them. I cleaned windows, mirrors, shower doors. I cleaned everything with them including my vacuum and washer\dryer set. I really miss them when I clean now. He passed in 2009 and I really miss him and the Shamwow. Thank you for reminding me of some great memories.

[@AndroidVageta1]

I don't know if you read comments or whatever but just wanted to say that I really like your reviews. Especially your thoroughness. Any time I watch one I always think "Man, I would have checked this..." and then the next shot you're doing it. Very good job, good production, you're clear and to the point...keep up the awesome work!

[@leonardcrate]

Casting this on my TV and my daughter walked in my room right when the video got to 10:58 and she screamed and ran away 😂

[@gerryschipper9778]

I’ve had mine for years. I keep a piece on my bureau that I set my ice water on to absorb any moisture or for an emergency spill. No damage to my bureau so far after all these years.

[@ComedianSkutnik]

Great video. I bought a set years ago and tried the carpet test. We had extra carpet lying around so I cut a small square and I was surprised as were others when I showed them, that it did pick up the water from underneath on the counter I tested on. Seems like some like the product and others don’t but hey, it lived up to my tests back then and it appears to still live up in more recent times!

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

I love the shame and disdain you show for the butchered TV news station's "review". The man's professionalism was insulted.

[@crowgrl13]

Gratuitous Bailey close up at 10:46! It's all about Bailey!

[@CasLee]

we all love us some beautiful bailey

[@JusHereToWatchVideo]

Good series! These classic products might have been good when they launched but you never know if they've decided to skimp out on the quality years later.

[@arxsyn]

It says made in Germany though. Everyone knows they are... Fastidious

[@curtwinterstein1067]

As always, a great review!! I've looked at and tried them. They appear to be very large pieces of Felt. I've seen them sold under different brand names as "Camp Towels" at places like REI and such. (And as a camp towel, an item like that may excel because they are very light, and as you demonstrated, very absorbent). Thank You for the review!!!

[@clearladymoon]

I have had and used shamwow for a bit of time now. They do shrink every time you dry them in a dryer and the ones I have dried have not lasted as long as the others. They don't work miracles but I like them.

[@josephlacerra8433]

I never saw or heard of this product, but it seems like it is meant to replace the traditional chamois cloth. The chamois was wonderful at cleaning glass and hi-gloss finishes (like cars) without streaking. I have to wonder how the Shamwow would perform such tasks. And what does it cost?

[@leesam3012]

Hey!! I still use mine to dry my 2 French Bulldogs after a bath. Works great!!! It will also when damp remove dog hair from a chair.

[@nutz4gunz457]

Great idea to do classic stuff. Next should be the showtime rotisserie. I got one for a gift long ago. I’ve only used it to make rotisserie chicken but they always turn out perfect. Make sure to brine the chicken first.

[@jasongts]

2:00 *HE’S IN, BOYS. HE DID IT. HE SAID IT. THE SHAMWOW MADE HIM SAY WOW*

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

We used to buy the knockoffs called Shamies from Walmart. Only used them to dry off our vehicles. Thanks for the review😃

[@galememeeof6688]

I could have used about 100 of these this weekend when I found my drain pipe split open draining my washer water out onto my basement floor. I still think this would be useful around the house. Good, fair review. The news should use you instead.

[@reginaeudy9249]

I own and use the Shamwow to drip dry clothes. I put the large Shamwow towel on top of my washer or dryer and lay out my wet shirt or sweater on it to dry. Then I stack another Shamwow and shirt on top. The next morning, if I had to stack items, I may need to hang a shirt to finish drying or put a new dry Shamwow underneath. Works great and I don't have to try to find storage space for a drying rack.

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

9:27 it was dripping after you thought it felt dry-ish. I would buy one just for my sink and counters...the word wet doesn’t say it.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

We have 2 dogs in the house with urinary issues, one with doggie alzheimer's, who forgets where she is when she has to go, and one that is incontinent during deep sleep. So basically, we keep a couple of these just for dog messes because they do a pretty good job on the carpet, and on hard floors, and since they get washed a lot more than normal people would wash them and hold up pretty well, they keep things about as dried up as we can get them. Now if I only owned some stock in the Nature's Miracle company.....

[@samsinger5135]

this was a great review ... what i was curious about this product is how it is for streaking on things like on the glasses, windows and possibly maybe even TVs

[@traczebabe]

If you watch the commercial close. You can see the switch from when he soaks the carpet and then “cleans” it up. There is a quick blip where they stopped, cleaned up the pop and started again.

[@MeanJohnDean]

If you use a dryer sheet or fabric softener on your towels (any) they lose their absorbantcy. It makes them slightly waterproof.

[@Freakinreviews]

Yes the instructions do state not to use fabric softener, in addition to avoiding the dryer!

[@Datrebor]

I used to sale one that was not a shamwow and with the carpet we used it did do a great job of absorbing the cola under the carpet. I don't remember what kind of carpet we used but it did have a different backing then yours has. I think ours held more water too but really sure about that.

[@danish-nl6ew]

Hey James, Thanks for the video. So My Question is, Can you do a follow up in a few months if you continue to use them. Also, Is that the same Nano towel you had reviewed a while back. Which do you think will turn out to be more durable? Have a Great Day, Be safe.

[@justinduren95]

Always a delight to see Bailey hanging out with you!

[@MustangGuru]

I’ve had mine (5). Since 2010. I use them as bath mats. Dyed them brown to match. Work great.

[@AndroidVageta1]

Do they still make these out of random materials? I remember hearing when these came out that some people were getting different materials with theirs that weren't as absorbant.

[@af235]

keep up the great work on the reviews! cant wait for the nano cam review. my shamwows molded after about 3 months of letting them dry. i never bought new ones.

[@catfishcooler1566]

I would like to see more "TV Classic" reviews. Not every week but every so often.

[@notthefbi9614]

Did you try the shamwow after you dried it? I'm curious to know if it had the same absorbancy

[@gaylenewood7707]

As seen on tv a new skillet suppose to be strong enuff you can jump on it with a pogo stick and not dent or scratch it it's called diamotechpan.you ought a check it out and compare it to your other collection of skillets.

[@pepshaven6520]

"Why are you like this?" *tongue hangs out* lol Great review :)

[@Pasha32511]

So i've been contemplating getting a Slap Chop for awhile now and I'm just wondering, Is it worth it Jack?

[@martijnp]

I think they want it to be damp because water will easily spread out when it's wet. You can see that the dry shamwow had big wet stains while the damp one didn't have it much at all. Having it damp would help when absorbing more liquid because the liquid divides throughout the entire thing

[@Lowzenza4]

I love this channelll!!! My fav reviews are all cooking equipment related so I hope you do more of those. As well as cleaning products like this one!

[@gratefuldead4605]

Thank you. I am one of those that asked you to do this via Twitter.

[@schmiddy8433]

in the shamwow commercial's carpet demo he was pounding on the shammy to get it as deep as possible, I think if you used much more force it would have worked somewhat better

[@lindaw4579]

I read that Shamwow is really regular chamois with packaging and marketing. Do you think so?

[@bumbo66]

Question to James White! Do you buy items from PCH.com? They sell some Items as seen on TV and unusual gadgets that is not as seen on TV

[@fishingmasterawesome]

Can you test out the jizzle??

[@rocknrollermann]

hey james , finally a product i have...shamwow really does absorb a lot. good product.

[@kenstrampe7609]

i bought a knock off version of the Shamwow and i was pleased with what it did. bailey just wants some lovin. lol

[@xxM5xx]

Folks may choose to use his "pitchman name", I use his real name, which is Offer Shlomi. During his pitches Mr. Shlomi usually simply identifies as "Vince". An independent tester reported that ShamWow hold tens times its weight in liquid but no more. James where did you get that Brockport T-Shirt you wore in a recent video? My sisters were born in Brockport. That town was my old stomping grounds.

[@nklover24]

Wow! Ive been wanting this product since I saw it on TV a few years back lol. I forgot about it but seeing this review has convinced me to get it sham-now!

[@mygreenfroggy]

I wonder if the bigger one would work for wet dogs? I have a Bailey type and a big lab who get soaked in the rain, and a smaller, hairier yapper. Towels just don't really work to dry them off and we are heading into the rainy season. I can live with the muddy floor, but drier dogs would be nice. I think I have to get some and try them. Would the blue ones be a good paper towel replacement?

[@junkmalme]

I cannot speak to the shamwow, but I use a microfiber beach towel for our dogs after bath or generally getting wet. They absorb more moisture than a regular bath towel and do tend to do a better job of drying the fur in a few passes.

[@mygreenfroggy]

Thanks, I'll have to try one or the other. Like I said, it's heading into our rainy season here and they want in and out constantly. Wet fur is not pleasant for me!

[@SpyBot-dt2lt]

You didn’t put enough force on the shamwow for the carpet, even In the commercial that he did the demonstration showing the the bottom of the carpet was dried he said” use feet and stomp on it, not the dog” I’m sure with the body weight from a normal person standing on it, it would be dried. Overall great review man! Shamwow is definitely worth it! Each one last five years! Haha

[@jenniferwiehebrink5732]

Always wanted to know how those things worked. Thanks, now I know. The absorbancy is pretty impressive.

[@tristanhealy3848]

Hey man for the table test you can only wipe it one way, if you go 2 directions it lets out the water

[@allenpost3616]

There have been random times that I have briefly thought of getting one of these but in the end it just seemed to gimmicky. After this though I want to try some for myself. It's all Bailey's fault! 🐶

Do u think u can review the bagless stick shark? It's also a as seen on TV vacuum, there selling one on eBay so u better get it

[@attoblaze3395]

Isnt the nanotowl alot thicker than the mini shamwow tho? I dont think its fair to compare the two

[@mylesblackmon7587]

Those were two different types of carpet. Jute back wool vrs and action back berber style?

[@Zapperthekid69TH]

Been waiting for ages man Thank you

[@loreenabradley]

I'm actually shocked. We always made fun of shamwows in junior high because we knew it had to be fake (and Vince was hilarious), but this is interesting! I sell a ton of "as seen on tv" products at my job and I know there are a few gems out there. It seems like the shamwow really does work as advertised!

[@kevincharles1231]

Freaking finally

[@evangelina3541]

This is funny! The reason being, someone had given me this product because they were cleaning out their car trunk. Thus I just threw it into my car trunk. I drive thru car washes so I don't need to necessarily dry my car. I think I will start using this Shamwow towel. Great demonstration. Thanks

[@jrballer16]

Wait, I’m from 2019 and why was 3:14 the water looked like it was yellow a little?

[@takefive4291]

I wonder if the bottom of the carpet piece, in the commercial, is sealed somehow.

[@moleymole5434]

I liked myt ShamWow when I had it, unfortunately it turned out not to be able to absorb the water when my flat flooded so I don't have either anymore. Next old school product should be the Snack Master.

[@BMitc13476]

I think I'd be a good idea to review the magic bullet for a classic review I'm not sure exactly when that came out but it's been a while now

[@agirlcandreamcantsheright9440]

I love the Bailey's Bloopers!!! 😍😍😃😃

[@2centchick]

WOW! I’m really surprised it was so absorbent!

[@ebuff57]

I had to go watch a Sham Wow Commercial just to understand what you're talking about. I had never heard of this before.

[@fjccommish]

Why buy a branded shammy vs a generic shammy that's cheaper?

[@deenaputzier819]

Wow!!!!! Totally retro, totally want to get them both now so I can compare, you rock!

[@goldenboy5500]

you can find them in flea markets for a fraction of the cost

[@marcelo90z]

When you are reviewing slap chop?

[@rsbn7879]

Compare this to the Absorber towel, found in Auto stores and the Automotive section of department store please.

[@kellylaliberte548]

That's the one I use--it's great for cleaning the inside of the windshield without leaving streaks.

[@littleblondebatw]

Okay so I have some pieces of jam while cuz we ended up cutting ours cuz they were so big we cut them into smaller easier to handle sections I think we cut them into fours different pieces just cuz they were easier for us to use and we had several of them we had one that we left home and so on and so forth and we got those when I was in my twenties and I just turned 66 so I still have some of those pieces and they still work pretty good and I have washed and dried them so the ShamWow is for it's a pretty decent little rag thing they definitely shrink some when you dry them in the dryer but it doesn't destroy them so yeah ShamWow is a good product

[@John-Doe-Yo]

Around 10 years ago I tried it and it was basically a paper towel. Idk what to believe now.

[@joshm9381]

I doubt you'd ever do this, but I would love to see how you would review a movie because you're a GREAT reviewer!
