Liked Shamwow mop NOT anymore
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
On June 22 2011 I bought the shamwow mop from a local store. I loved it till today July 14 th. I followed every instruction it gave even went online to do more research. The reason why I got it in the first place is I have physical issues that wont allow me wring out a mop enough.
I went to use it today and the bottom part of the mop wont hold onto the lower part when I went to wring it out it kept coming off. So now till I get a new mop I guess Im going to step on it wring it enough.
I threw out the box along with the receipt stupid me.
Id advise no one to buy this cheap product.

Service fees
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
The experience was horrible and the charges are outragous. I originaly was ordering 1 set and received 2, I called after the order was placed and was told they couldnt pull it up in their system to call back on Monday which I did and the order had shipped. I refused the shipment and had it returned. They charged me $66.70 and only refunded $34.90 and charged me $31.80 in processing. That is outragous that is why people dont order off the the TV due to companies like this. I will be sure to tell anyone and everyone of the horrible experience to save them a headache and money. I can't...

Shamwow
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Shamwow is a fraud. It does not soak up liquids. It simply spreads them around and makes streaks on wet surfaces. What a joke. I would rather use a cotton towel or a real chamois cloth product. I got duped by the infomercials. Don't let it happen to you.

Expensive Felt
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I got the Shamwow's as a stocking stuffer from my mother (we always laughed at the commercials) but when I actually tried them out they were more disappointing than anything. They're basically just a sheet of felt. That's it. I poured out a little bit of water on the table to test them out hoping they'd work like on tv. NOPE! It literally just spread the water around the table...didn't absorb one drop. NOT A SINGLE DROP! Do not buy these. They're a waste of money, paper towels are cheaper and work 100x better!!!

mailing address for Shamwow?
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Please, if anyone has a mailing address for Shamwow, please let me know, as I am hoping to report them to the Better Business Bureau, but an address is required. And lo and behold, I do not find one on their site!
My complaint? When their "rush" shipping did not come on time, I called to cancel the order entirely. Was told that would be no problem; only need to put "refused - return to sender" and send it back through the mail. Very helpful customer-service woman.
Later, someone else @ Shamwow told me, "no, you have to catch the postman before he drops it...

Horrible product
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
The best and most simple way all of us here in my household can describe this rip off shamwow towel experiance is that using them is like using a torn up plastic bag to do the job.They dont soak up liquid any better then a plastic bag.Forget about the money back guarentee because you will never get it even if you do finally get a chance to talk to a smamwow rep.Dont buy anything shamwow advertises.

complaint
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
The shamwow mop is a rip off. It does not wring out as described, (I had to wring it out with my hands), it is very poorly made in that the mechanism does not function easily, and the mop itself is sewn together poorly and was splitting at the seems before I even tried to use it. Bottom line....after 1 hour of trying to get it to work, I tossed it out.

disappointed
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I don't know why it doesn't work for me when it worked right before my eyes at the state fair, but I have tried using it according to the directions (washing it before using, but not drying) and today when I had a child wet my bed I thought I would avoid having to use a ton of paper towels. Wrong! The shamwow absorbed absolutely no liquid. I am not only disappointed, but I feel stupid and $20 poorer.

Shamwow really is!
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I admit it... as skeptical as I usually am, when I saw Shamwow at Costco I was weak and decided to give it a try. I'd like to say it sucks, but it really doesn't, at least not like it showed on TV. As far as I'm concerned, it does not work any better than a think towel, and not nearly as well as a real chamois. I tried it on my car after washing it and it left all kinds of streaks. When the sun hit the spots I had dried with the Shamwow the paint looked worse than when I started. So I read the directions (I know, should have done that first, but I'm a guy!). I took an...

False advertising
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I have recieved two sham wow yellow toweletts from my son, They did not work for him, and the definately don't work for me. I used them on my Dodge Ram P/U. First one and then another dry one. The results were deplorable. All they did was smear the windows and leave streaks on the paint, not to mention that the truck was still wet. I had to result to the old fasion way...a terrycloth towel, which in the future I will stick with. Sorry, but your product is a failure!

Total garbage
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Bought the 2-per set at Thunder in the Valley in May 2009. The guys did the usual cookie-cutter demo. We tried using one to dry the car; per the directions. All it did was push the water around. My terry towel did better than the Sham(for sure!) wow.
I then tried soaking up water from the bucket. One quart of water. It soaked up about a pint and left the rest in the bucket.
I wouldn't trust this product for anything and if I could get our money back I would. It's trash.

Doesn't Work...
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
... we recently purchased one because it looked so cool and convenient. But it doesn't work as advertised. We filled up a glass halfway with water and dunked it in to see how well it worked, granted it did soak up most the water but it was dripping all over like a regular old paper towel. Also spilled some water on carpet, used this... and about 20 paper towels after. Does not work as claimed, works about as well as a good ol' rag.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I'm sooooo glad I didn't buy this worthless product. I was just about to order one but I found it strange they don't tell you what the shipping charge is on their website, so I searched the net and found this site.
It's clearly obvious that ShamWow is a total rip-off and a devious scam that prays on us innocent folks with a very convincing TV commercial. PTOOEY on you, ScamSuck. You BITE THE BIG ONE and I'm so glad I found out before I gave you one penny.
Thanks again for this wonderful site and all the great reviews!!! I'm just sorry so many people...

Shamdud
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I got one of these and it's horrible. A regular towel does the same thing and cost less! I did however find a product that does work! Leaves no streaks and cleans everything with just water! Also, talked to a real person and they have a 30 day money back quarantee. It's one of the few products I've purchased that actually does what it says.

phone order
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I just spent about 20 minutes on this automated phone call with Shamwow. Ofcourse, like most people I would have rather spoke to a human. But, with the fast past of today, I wasn't suprised. With this in mind, the Company offered me everything they ever invented. I didn't want any of the other products, but saying no wasn't enough. I had to say no twice. After about 15 minutes I was told that it would take 5 weeks for delievery. Who wouldn't spend the extra money to receive the item sooner. (My sweaters would be dry by then). I then listened to an entire shpeel...

What a SCAMWOW
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Do not order this online it is a HUGE ripoff - The shipping is outrageous and I wanted one and am somehow getting 3 because of the trickiness of the way things are worded. I am not kidding I have a college degree and buy things online all the time. Buyer Beware. I haven't used it yet but when I tried to stop shipment it had already been shipped?!? I mean come on. It's ridiculous. Don't Buy nothing is worth this aggravation!

Scamwow
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Horrible, absolutely horrible. A complete rip-off. Whats worse is that my son bought 8 towels for $19.95 over the internet from a company that charged his debit card $102.90 and sent him product he didn't order. He wrote them another e-mail and asked what to do. We sent the product back to a address in Wallingford, CT and made them sign for it. A "M. Kidd" signed for the returned product but no credit was ever received by my son. The e-mail address my son ordered from and the one used to tell us how to return the product was ronny@squareoneent.com. Tough lesson for a...

Shamhow?
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
I feel completely violated. My buddy actually has some super towel that is some sort of Rubber material. I tried his and I thought the Shamwow was similar, if not better based on those infomercials. When I got it, all it was was some sort of cheap felt that looks and feels like it maybe has some wool in it. I couldn't believe what a terrible job it did with soaking up water. I mainly bought it to get the dew off of my car in the mornings and to my surprise it just streaked it along my car making it look dirtier than before. On top of that, I bought 2 orders of this sh*t product to give...

Well, I feel like a complete FOOL!!! I called & ordered the 1 - yes, I said ONE - order to see if they really worked. When I went to check my online banking 2 days later I was charged with 5 - YES COUNT THEM FIVE!!! - orders, which with shipping added up to almost $140!!! I just called them today & - OH GEE!!! We're sorry but they've already shipped! Just contact us when you receive them & we'll give you the return info. Isn't there some legal recourse with these SCAM ARTISTS??? Ok, yes, I was gullible enough to order 1 set but - CHEESH! How do they get away...

Scam
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Shamwow is nothing more then a scam. I bought it and it didn't work any better then a cotton towel. They will return your money in the first 30 days but they keep you 7.95 shipping. It dosn't cost them 7.95 to ship so they make at least $5.00, not counting all the people who don't bother to return the. when we need to do is complain to the counsumer affairs department in the state you live. Take the time to do this and stop rip offs lit this.

What is in a name?
Shamwow Consumer Complaint
Sham: Something that is a counterfeit; not what it seems to be.
Wow: An expression of amazement or awe.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! This product is not as advertised. I tried it out on the counter top and it just streaked the water and picked up no more than a paper towel would. Do yourself a favor and pick up a roll of paper towels or some kitchen towels. They do a better job and are cheaper.
