Uhm....objective they are not. I posted on here a few weeks ago about the Prepology egg poachers #800605 that exploded in the microwave and many others left reviews on Q about the same thing but my review was rejected. Below is my review and it wasn't any more damming than many of the others so I wonder why mine was rejected?? :wonder:[/FONT]
50p says it's the bits I've underlined PPC! :wink:
Like many others I could not get a properly poached egg out of these rubbish items. I experimented with different timings and power settings but either the eggs were under cooked or were disgusting and rubbery. Also, whatever settings I tried after less than a minute the lids blew off with a very loud bang which was quite alarming and splattered partially cooked egg all over the inside of my oven! I even tried stopping the microwave after 30 seconds and lifting the lid to let some of the pressure escape and putting it back on to resume cooking but even that didn't work. So not only did I waste a dozen eggs but had to keep cleaning the inside of my oven too. These poachers are totally useless and unfit for purpose in my honest opinion and I have complained to Customer Services about them. I wasn't going to bother returning them because they were so cheap but I was so angry about the wastage and mess I have changed my mind and will send them back when I receive the prepaid label. I am extremely annoyed that QVC presented these as the perfect microwave poachers when they clearly have a design fault and the fact that these explode in the microwave is actually quite dangerous in my opinion.
1. I don't think they are keen on 'complained to', they prefer 'CS was very good/nice/helpful'....!
2. They may not like the mention of a 'return label', with such a high level of poor reviews & mentioning of 'not returning because of p&p' etc, i.e. yours are no different/worse than the others.....?
3. Mentioning the word QVC with the 'presented these', maybe better to say 'these were described as being intended for'.....?
4. 'These explode' makes it sound as though entire pot blew up, stick to 'lids blew up'.....?
Generally, they don't seem to like any generalising & the worse the reviews, the more they start to nit-pick about what is/isn't acceptable! I bet if you blue pencilled your review, removing all references to QVC, apportioning of blame & general opinions on the overall product, it would go through! (Then again, if it is Liveworld doing the reviews, it may not as they are a law unto themselves.....! LOL)
