One item that I quickly returned was the pizza oven as it was poor quality and did not compare to some others that work well that I have used.

Another item was the knifes (Aerosharp) and rather than getting charged the postage to return, I sharpened one to a razorlike edge and am using the serrated one to open my packages. Without sharpening the plain edge blade, it did not meet my sharpness requirement.

On the other hand a good product and price is the Stoneware microwave cooker but with the 20% coupon at BB&B that is an even better deal.

I am not sure about the chop chop. but it has some advantages over other similar products and I might get just to "rent" for a month to compare.

"Rent"?!!!? You mean order it with the express purpose of NOT keeping it, but wanting to try it for free? That's like the scam of buying a dress, wearing it, and returning it. Abusing returns like this raises the costs for all of us. Grrr!

I got the impression the poster meant that he/she would 'try' it for a month to decide if it was worth keeping. What would they do, chop a lifetime's worth of French fries and really rip them off? Beside, the hosts constantly tell you to 'try it for 30 days'. Implying that you have all that time to test it out.

Two different things. Using the guarantee to try out something you're not sure about is when you order it intending to buy it, find out after you've used it that it isn't for you and sending it back. Then there is ordering with no intention of buying it, just trying it out and returning it --ie "renting".

To buy something from a home shopping network knowing that you will return is rather stupid, as you have to pay return postage. If you do that often enough, you'll get, 'the letter' telling you that you are in danger of having your account closed. The hosts will emphatically tell people to buy it and 'put it through it's paces for 30 days'. BTW: if you read through the posts-many, many times customers have received items that were obviously used. So, shed no tears for QVC-they are quite capable of handling 'rented' items.
