Wolfgang Grinders

kismet — Fri, 01 Jun 2018 04:52:09 GMT

Has anyone used the newer version of these that are on the special today? I bought them several years ago and had nothing but trouble with them. Took 6 months to get them replaced and of the two new ones they sent one didn't work. The CS was so bad I said I would never buy another product of his. I did love the convenience of the grinders but don't want another headache if the newer ones are like the older ones. The reviews are 3.9.

The price is CHEAP and I say you most likely won't get a really nice product that lasts, at that price. However, I don't buy anything from him because he swears at times and has unsanitary kitchen habits. I turn the channel when I see him.

No sale because it takes too many batteries to use it.

@customerqvc2 Did you hear him swear tonight? I think they need to do the shows on a little delay because he cursed, then the sound went out for a few seconds and came back on. Uh... I think it'd be more useful to have the sound out when he's cursing, not afterward!

I love his mixing bowl set that's on sale for $35 with the silicone bottoms. Really good quality. Other than that, I'm Team Curtis!

Some people have said he has "a few" before going onto the set. I don't honestly know if this is the case or if he swears all the time--on or off the air. I don't like it, so I turn the channel when I see him.

The other night he said “sh*t” on air when describing canned salt and pepper. The show producer let that slip by,

And have you ever noticed WP picks his nose a lot, and uses his fingers to taste the food he’s prepared.

Nevertheless, most of his products are very good, and good value.

I saw a little bit of a presentation a little while ago (as much as I could handle of him - so gross!) and, anyway, they don't seem to work that great. You can see that if you pay attention when he's using it on the paper, or whatever that white surface was.

I also agree with somebody else about all those batteries. Holy heck, that's a LOT of batteries per unit for something small like that! Plus it lights up so I bet the combo of use and use of the light takes a lot of battery power.

Years ago, he made quality products but those days are gone. I've seen a lot of reviews on some of his stuff like the blender they likened to Vitamix and the convection oven, both of which would smoke and, for some people, catch fire and damage their kitchen. That's scary!

His SS pans used to be good quality but that changed a number of years ago. I once needed another very large stock pot and went to hsn and purchased a WP one they had. I've had SS pans of his in the past, so I knew THAT particular quality. This one - it was garbage. It was very cheap so I didn't bother to return it, and just threw it away.

I think it's just the general notion that class and manners are obsolete now. They also probably perceive him as their 'big star' without whom they would make so much less money, so they let him get away with being like that.

I bought my set several years ago and have never needed to replace the batteries yet. I like mine and use them often.

I called that other shopping network and told them I wanted to complain about him. They said that my complaint would be forwarded to corporate headquarters.

I was tempted to order, but that was my reason for changing my mind. I "dug out" a grinder I had and have never used it because it needs batteries too. Going to donate it because I don't want to deal with battery replacement, etc. Takes too many.

The new WP grinders are great, No trouble at all. I bought 6 of them to use for my various pepper corns, and salts.

The moderation of this forum makes no sense sometimes. Here we have a post about a product on "the other shopping network" and it is perfectly fine and has many responses. Meanwhile the other day I made a post about that same other shopping network and mentioned a new cotton blanket was available at a good price and it was promptly yanked with no explanation.

I considered purchasing . I am with the people who hate replacing batteries very often. I have a hand turn one I purchased from Amazon for my peppercorns that work nicely and turns easily. I have a store packaged himalayan salt and used it the other day and the grinder part came off onto my eggs along with a lot of salt! --garbage.

I always check the lowest starred reviews on any brand first , then the others and shake it all up and make my decision. I have had pretty good success with WG's products personally. I doubt that he wipes his nose then goes to the warehouse and touches all of the shipments .

@giddy upI think QVC & HSN merged (or ?) . A few months ago they had crossovers from each saying something about it. You might ask in the 'Customer Care' forum about your post.

I am glad QVC allows discussion of other channels and products. There is not a community at Evine and HSN's isn't always current.

I ordered them and and something else. I love the guy, I like people who are themselves and honestly, if you cant handle a little swearing , well I think you might have an issue yourself. He does swear that much, how silly.

Re: Wolfgang Grinders

Daysdee — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 14:50:04 GMT

I was tempted to purchase the Wolfgang grinders, but didn't want to deal with the batteries. I purchased a set locally that doesn't need batteries. I have one Kuhn-Richon from QVC that I use for peppercorns. Now I have two more grinders--one will be salt and would like suggestions for what else you use your grinders for.
