They work ok. I dont say WOW everytime I use them. But its way better then any normal rag.

Sadly disappointed! I had great hope for this product, and was let down. I don't like using paper towels due to environmental reason. But these did not absorb they pushed around water.

this product was a waste of money!!!!!!!!!! it is such a scam. it hardly cleaned up anything. in the comercial it is all about tricks. when the guy pours the cola on to the carpet, they cut the seen and go back to it and then he takes the sham wow and cleans up the cola. when he pours it, you can see it coming out of the sides of the carpet and then when they skip to the next clip the cola is gone from the sides. that is right before he cleans up the cola. i would not reccomend it to anyone!!!

It's great for spills!

I bought this product about 3 moths ago. My husband and i were extremely skeptical and just really wanted to test it ( hence the spokesperson made it seem wonderful) we pored soda on the rug and pressed the sham wow down onto it to pick it up, and it indeed picked it up. Though we still have to wash the sham wow and we have to hang it up to dry or else it doesnt even pick up any spills instead it will just pushed the spills around, SO if you dont dry it in the drying machine than it really is a great Spill Picker upper!

As soon as we got ours home, my husband poured a whole glass of water in the kitchen floor....and the ShamWow sucked it up! It worked well when he poured the water on to carpet, too! The WORST thing about this product, though, is that if one ends up in the dryer, it's uselss.

I bought Sham Wow as a joke for my boyfriend. However, at the same time they arrived we got a new puppy who was difficult to potty train. The Sham Wow was the best thing I have found for sucking stains out of carpeting. It was a godsend for us and our new house!
