The Sobakowa (or buckwheat) pillow allegedly adjusts itself to your head and your constant tosses and turns. Additionally, the buckwheat filling expands or contracts or something with heat, so you won't get sweat-head in the summer. At first, I was a little concerned that the crunchy sounds of the buckwheat would keep me up all night, but it's not a problem. The pillow itself is much smaller than a regular pillow, so if you're a big fluffy pillow person you're not going to like this. It makes me feel very spartan and healthy to use the Sobakowa, and I find it to be pretty comfortable. But I don't think it's worth the tv price, so see if you can find it cheaper.
The magic can can opener (aka The Perfect Can or the Eurocan) is by far the best can opener I've ever had. It actually does exactly what it says -- it opens the cans easily and without sharp edges -- and it hasn't gotten dull yet. Swear to god, I used to hate opening cans, and this is a problem when you have cats, because the best food comes in cans that need can openers (you know, like tuna, tuna with cheese, tuna with shrimp, etc). My poor kitties were getting cheated out of tuna! But now tuna is a pleasure for all. This is one tv product that's really worth the price. Mine came with the magic jar opener as a bonus, and I've used this too. Now the Euro-sealer, some heat sealing device, comes with the magic can opener for $19.95 or so.
The magna-duster is a synthetic feather duster. It doesn't work as well as it does on the commercial, where it literally attracts the dust with a static charge, but it works as well as any other synthetic feather duster you'll get at Kresgees or Walmart. The TV versions comes with the standard duster, a duster with a telescopic handle for high places like doorways, and a mini duster for computer keyboards. I use them all the time. It works, just not like it's supposed to.
The Fantom Fury is cran-tastic. I had this dirt devil can-vac that just wasn't kicking enuff. It was 10 amps, and I thought 10 amps was 10 amps, but I was working so hard to vacuum that it probably would have been easier for me to get down on my knees and pick up the dirt manually. So I got the Fantom Fury, mostly because it's the most reasonably priced hepa vacuum (this means it has a filter that doesn't let the dust fly out of it while you're vacuuming). This thing sucks like crazy. Get outta the way! The kitties go running when I pump up this little mama. It made my crappy carpet look like new because it sucked up all the stray fibers. I feel so clean now that I have the Fantom Fury, that I started cleaning everything in the apartment. It's better than confession! The only minor drawback is that the attachments don't suck as strongly as the upright part of the machine, but that's pretty much the same with all uprights.
