No, not a professional-style stove or fridge, or even fancy copper sinks (as much as I’d love to have those things someday). I’m getting a NuWave Oven!
You may have seen the infomercial for this thing. I was not aware that Heidi Bohay, who hosts the infomercial, was a “TV cooking expert” as she was billed. The only thing I remember her ever doing was an 80′s TV show called Hotel. I used to like that show. Bohay played a front desk clerk who was married to a guy who was a bellhop at the same hotel. She ended up marrying the actor who played her hubby in real life, and they are still together, with three kids.
So this is what she’s doing now. Are infomercials where stars of old 80′s TV shows go when there’s not much other work out there? I ask this because I saw another informercial the other day for a competing product to the NuWave…I forget what it was called, but Mr. T was in it.
We saw that one in a bar, and the sound wasn’t on, but I wonder what he was saying. Perhaps “I pity the fool who doesn’t call right now and buy this thing!”
Anyhoo, my friend Kat has a NuWave oven, and she can’t stop raving about how great it is. You can read her review of it HERE. She’s actually posted about it on her blog several times, but this was the first in-depth review.
So I’d been seriously thinking of ordering one of my own. A problem, though, was that they ship via FedEx, and every single time I’ve tried to get FedEx to deliver anything to my house, they lose it. And then I have to go through customer service of the shipper to tell them that FedEx lost it, they need to file a claim and get me my money back. Pain in the butt.
I was having FedEx stuff sent to Mike’s office, which worked fine. But now he’s out on disability and we don’t know exactly when he’s going back. I was going to hold off until them.
But then today I got a catalog in the mail, that had a NuWave oven in it, for less than the infomercial cost. I know why it’s cheaper, no extra freebies that come with the TV offer, and this one also has an analog timers, while the newer version that Kat has is digital. But the company’s website charges a fortune for shipping, including extra S&H charges for some of the *freebies*. Besides, I really don’t need all of that extra stuff. As long as the oven does the same as the one that Kat has does in regard to cooking the food, I’m happy.
Best of all, Brylane Home ships to P.O. boxes. I also have one of their credit cards, which often gets me money-saving coupons for using said card. So I got a pretty good deal on this.
Can’t wait to get it!
