Shamwow is just one version of a microfiber cloth. I'd recommend getting one if you don't have one, but it doesn't have to be a shamwow. They're great for drying cars and machine washable which is always nice. Good for the environment and such.

My sister falls for every single infomercial she sees. But she tells me the Shamwow actually works quite well.

LOL .. I love the ShamWow commercial for some reason .. Vince is so eloquent with his words...
But I did catch a little error in the part where he spills shit on the carpet and sops it up...The camera shows him spilling the juice, then you can see the camera cut for a split second, and when it shows the carpet again before he absorbs the rest, you can tell it's not even the same piece of carpet as before if you look at the detail of the liquid underneath... I doubt they work as well as the commercial says, but I still want one. lol... No I NEED one...

They really do work as well as the commercial says. We got one for our dorm since theres always beer everywhere and it soaks up every drop of liquid its insane. Ive even put it into a giant bowl of water and then its just all gone.

Yeah hahah, the first time my roommate brought it here i thought it wouldnt work. Then i spilled bong water and tried it out and damn sucked all that black shit out of the carpet.
1. This is not a microfiber towel of any sort, that one guy was wrong. It is a non traditional chamois. Microfiber is a completely different technology and doesn't have the resilient water absorption as the new chamois do
2. They are awesome and soak up amazing amounts of shit
3. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A 'SHAMWOW' they have been selling this exact same item for the car detailing industry for 30 years. http://www.buyzillion.com/B000DN7H8W/Clean+Tools+The+Absorber.html
"The Absorber" can be bought at wal-mart or any where car detailing products are sold for like $5 so save some money!
YEA BOY!

Ok, then I need to talk to her. Because my husband got us signed up for these fucking Zorbies, and they ain't (absorbent, what I assume the moniker Zorbies suggests they do, you know, well). All they do is make lint! Sure, once they get a bit wet they can absorb water, but as well as a chamois, or a microfiber cloth (like my favorite 3M cloths)? Hardly.
But! I've watched that annoying ShamWow commercial, and the bit where they pour the soda onto the piece of carpet has been played with. Watch carefully, idiot-what's-his-name pours out soda onto the carpet, and we see it come out from underneath. A couple of shots later, when he's showing the magnificent absorbption qualities of his handly piece of ShamWow, the soda is no longer under the carpet. So, did the ShamWow really absorb all that soda the way he makes it look? I think NOT! Thusly, I am incredulous.
By the way, I don't replace my sponge every week. They last longer than that. I just wish I could get the other family members to fucking rinse the God damned thing out after they wipe up food with it, instead of leaving it to become nicely moldy and mildewed such that you can't touch it without becoming tainted for the day.
GOD that fucking pisses me off! They're getting better, because now I'm either throwing it in the trash, or into the room of the last person to use it (where it can stink up their space).
