My local Dollarama had this product, and I immediately knew it was a imitation of the famous “ShamWow” towels. The material was felt-like. It wasn't as absorbent as claimed, but still quite hefty. I tested on 1 cup (250ml) of tap water, it did absorb 70% of the liquid but it was still dripping. I can't tell whether it lasts long, because I just got it. It's durability seems tough, pretty strong and unrippable so far. I've cleaned coffee and this washes out quickly, by handwashing...it is stain resistant. This is definitely NOT odourless, it smells undesirablely awkward and repelling. But the smell is not as bad after I washed it. It didn't leave streaks as it claims. Compared to a paper towel, it absorbs more and is tougher.
Not many people know before you use it, you have to rinse it with warm water, then wring it out. This is VERY important! It absorbs much better this way.
I think this was pretty worth it for $1, I would recommended it.
My rating for the overall product is 8/10.
Now, I know what you're thinking, if this products seems decent and alright, why not buy the real ShamWow? WRONG! The ShamWow is overpriced and not worth it the money, this WizCloth is pretty much the same cloth. Informercials are quite misleading and inaccurate, if you don't like the Dollarama cloth I doubt you'll like the ShamWow.
