Customer Reviews of As Seen On TV Gopher Pick Up and Retrieving Tool
Customer Review: Not like original (check 5star review dates)
Summary: 1 Stars
Avoid this thing like the bubonic plague! It isn't even a shadow of the original Gopher that was sturdy and served me well until I gave it to a needy friend thinking I could replace it with a couple of new ones (one for back up). A construction of absolute useless, cheap, flimsy, and fragile crap! I knew I'd been burned the minute I opened the package and removed this thing. It was not even close to the original in the touch and weight of it. It won't hold anything even close to the neighborhood a pound. The armature when folded out is loose and wobbles side to side out of the package without even initial use. It snapped first use when I attempted to retrieve a can of soup off the floor. These new manufactured pieces of s--- are a waste of money. This scumbag company is just cashing in on the name and not giving you any quality whatsoever! LOOK AT THE 5STAR REVIEW DATES. NONE OF THEM CURRENT OTHER THAN THE 1STAR REVIEW DATED IN 2009. This thing is not the same functioning Gopher as introduced by the late Billy Mays. RIP Billy! You have been informed it is your money.Customer Review: The Gopher won't go for much
Summary: 1 Stars
My family has gone through five of these. We learn slowly and they are quite cheap.
Each one has lost the grabbing suction cups.
It can pick up small light items.
I tried to turn my computer on and it could not depress the push button.
I wanted my dictionary. It is a small paperback. I grabbed the Gopher and went for it. One side sprang open quite dramatically. The other just dropped its cup. Even duct tape could not save that one.
A tiny screw runs between the grabbing tension rods and into each suction cup. That screw is pulled apart when the grabber closes. It lasts longer than it should, based on such a poor design.
Buy one with a simple design.
Customer Review: Poorly made
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had two of these, and both broke in exactly the same place. The screws strip out of the suction cups, and then the product is worthless. I wouldn't buy another one.
