Plan to finish your shopping in the “As Seen On TV” aisle?

When all else fails, head for the “As Seen On TV” aisle. 

Consumer Reports has rated those last minute gifts to save you some time and money:

* Lint Lizard: It’s almost like a magic wand! it sucked up an additional 15 to 52 grams of lint from different ductwork. 

* Ninja Master Prep Professional: This all-in-one kitchen appliance really can chop, blend, grate and more.

* Ooma: This Internet phone device a standout among VolP phone services and is reliable with good voice quality. Setup is easy and you’ll get free domestic calls and dirt-cheap international rates.

* Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair: It worked fast to push lots of hair into the chamber behind the brushes. Other devices required constant stopping and replacement of sheets, and no single sheet collected much hair

* Flex Seal: It may keep that boat afloat, but it took three coats of Flex Seal to plug pipe holes, and larger holes blew out under water pressure. 

* Pocket Hose: It works great, for a while. While they’re lightweight and easy to store, they’re also easy to crack, split and tear.

* Schticky and Sticky Buddy silicone rollers: They work, but you might want to schtick to other methods. Removing lint and hair from the rollers takes more work than the commercial suggests.
