Did Alberti really tell people to buy a Halo flashlight for every room in the house?!?!

He has to be the worst offender for telling people to buy more than one of whatever item he's selling.

"Many of you are buying more than one." Classic QVC sales pitch.

They all do it. It's their job!

@proudlyfromNJ I agree. It doesn't offend me at all. We all have the choice to buy or not buy.

Since I am in an area prone to power outages, especially after dark, I have at least one flashlight or other battery powered light source in every room.

Well, you never know when the power will go off.

We also have flashlights scattered throughout the rooms and floors of our home. They come in handy when the electricity goes out, when others are sleeping, or to find a lost earring in the carpet.

But, even more than flashlights, DH loves the little lanterns. Last year I bought him V37552, the five mini lantern set (metallic color) as a stocking stuffer. The lights are very bright and the set is quite economical in cost.

By the way, I really, really like Alberti as a host, but I only buy what I want when I want.

I do keep a small flashlight in every room just in case and a small portable phone charger in my purse but until I park my cars in the house I have no use for a Halo in every room.

@Marp me, too. I ordered the 4 mini's the other day - delivery promised for Monday. I've been checking for flashlights for a few months now -- small ones. Giving all 4 as gifts to myself.

I always have my phone nearby, and it (like most smart phones) has a flashlight. Not an extremely bright one, but adequate for me to find my way to another room that would have a higher powered flashlight.

I am noticing that all the hosts use the same phrasing and encourage people to buy more than one. Amazing, so soft, you look beautiful, these are so wonderful, this is so GOOD, name of designer really knows how to design pants. Same on HSN. Maybe I watch too often but I don't remember these same phrases said in a rushed, awed voice a few years ago. Alberti has this same full of excitement and awe selling voice. He appears to be a nice guy and all, this is just the way they sell. It creates a need to purchase in the viewer.

@september LOL!!! I never know where my phone is when I get home. I am glad to have it where I don't know where it is.

@Sooner Well, I only have a cell phone now, so it's not far away. As long as it's within voice distance of me, I can call out to Siri, to turn on the flashlight, and voila! Let there be light!

I have the rechargeable plug-in flashlights, that turn on when the power goes out.

@FishandSnail I agree with you. I know it's a sales tactic. It's an old worn out sales tactic. That along with the gift drawer, and buy one for the butcher, baker and candlestick maker!

@september IF you have electricity and if your router is up and if your internet provider working, and if you don't have a house fire going and if you don't live in Oklahoma and tornadoes and 100 mph straight winds and baseball sized hail haven't screwed up the power and so forth.

I'll tell you ,I bought a box full of mini flashlights with batteries included from Amazon, and it is one of my best purchases. There is a sticker over the end of the battery, so it is not activated till removed. I have those flashlights stashed everywhere and they really come in handy.

@Desertdi going to have to check those out for me and also for my parents.

The same old tiresome, repetitive constant sales pitches do get annoying and are turn offs for me. First of all I buy only what I want and can afford and need, the hosts do not sway my decision one bit. They always say people are buying more than one and that is another repeater. Yes, this is their job and it is my job to turn certain hosts off and not watch. I shop on the Q site most of the time. We could all state the selling points but the decision to buy should come from the buyer. I'll leave it at that.
