I Am So Tired of Vacuums - All Day Long!

Annabellethecat66 — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 22:15:49 GMT

Every time I go to QVC someone is selling this vacuum cleaner! Good grief!

Every time they have something like this or a bed or Dyson they sell it to death!

At least when they have shoes they have a variety of shoes and every now and then clothes, same with clothes.

This just gets crazy!

It's an infomercial --- and they try to hypnotize their viewers.

I understand you. It's not only vacuums but electronic and clothes. To me, the clothes look a lot alike and are over priced. So are the electronics. I'm a jewelry lover so I really miss the jewelry shows. It used to be that they would have at least a couple a day. Now it seems like they go days without any. And the shoes! I can not believe the cost of some of the shoes. I mean really, $250 for a pair of shoes? I've noticed that they've completely done away with their collectible shows. I wasn't much for the collectibles but I'm sure a lot of other people are. I used to spend maybe an hour or so a day watching QVC. Now I go for days without watching it because it seems like they show the same old stuff, and a lot of it is either boring or way over priced. How many vacuums does one person need, right?

@Remar

I also used to love the jewelry shows - 14KT and 18KT. Earrings, bracelets, rings, chains, pendants. They're my treasures. 18KT rolo link bracelet and matching oval hoop earrings. Gorgeous. A large Brazilian Amethyst pendant --- and a large, pear-shaped Brazilian Amethyst ring set in gold. luv, luv. With prices that didn't break the bank.

I agree .. the vacuum was on constantly all day ... I guess they aren't selling well so they have to push, push, push .... The woman vendor that is selling the vacuum is super hyper today & her voice is so high pitched that I wanted to punch the TV ... then the vendor hooked up with Amy S & that did it ... the two of them together was unbearable... Amy needs some speech & voice lessons..... 🙀😱

Can't listen to the vac lady - so loud - so loud and then put Amy with her - OMG - two of a kind just doesn't work. Doesn't Q management watch and listen to their own programing? Don't worry - the clicker got 'clicked' real fast.

@Annabellethecat66 I so agree. This is supposed to be a Christmas weekend. Didn't anyone get the memo that you don't give vacuum cleaners for Christmas??? If I want a sweeper, I will do the research and get one on my own The last thing I want to watch on TV is someone sweeping up dirt!! Don't I have enough of that??

Annabellethecat66 — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 23:58:58 GMT

I feel for the hosts. I mean can you imagine trying to come up constantly with something 'different' to say about a vacuum cleaner? Sometimes they show the thing at the end of the hour and the beginning of the hour back to back, the same hostess.....I can't imagine.

Sometimes I'll watch just to see or hear what they come up with. I wonder if they ask family and friends, "So....give me some ideas on what to say about a vacuum cleaner".

I know people tune in at different times, but good grief! It does get crazy. The same vacuum cleaner over and over and .........

I just thought of something.....I'm doing that exact same thing by posting about the vacuum cleaner over and over. Ha!

@Annabellethecat66 Vacuums are a trigger. They make you want to lash out! They represent everything that we don't like about cleaning. On the other hand, some people like cleaning more than nearly everything. My DH loves discussing vacuums. When we got our current vacuum, he told EVERYONE about how well it worked. QVC, on the other hand, should realize that he doesn't watch.... I do

-------------------
I was thinking the same thing. Every time I checked the Q channel that item was being shown. regardless of what the show was called!!!
Holiday show with Dan was mostly presenting the vacuum. Then right after, another hour show of the vacuum. What a way to turn people off!!

I agree. Not sure why those in charge of programming think these shows are entertaining.

fourpaws56 — Sun, 24 Sep 2017 01:58:48 GMT

I agree...I think the Q needs some different vendors...pretty boring stuff the past few years

Lol. But, I'm guessing that many folks order them.

sunshine45 — Sun, 24 Sep 2017 02:10:10 GMT

look at the quarterly reports......vacuums and mattresses sell......jewelry is NOT selling. THAT is why we are seeing what we are seeing.....it all boils down to SALES and profit.

I have a suggestion... Watch the Hallmark channels instead.

Reports came out the other day that the the Hallmark channels are now the most popular channels on cable. No violence, nice shows. They are so popular, they are adding a third channel soon.

One channel for old shows like The Golden Girls, one for mysteries, and the third will be light drama. I like Murder She Wrote.

I set my alarm for 6 am this morning local time. Silly me, I thought I'd make coffee and enjoy a christmas shopping program. Unfortunately it was at least two hours of vacuuming and almost a half hour on toothbrushes.

And don't get me started on the 3 or 4 year old gift wrapped presents they use on set. If I never see mint green with stripes and pink with polkadots on presents again....sigh.
