Another 'Excuse Machine'.
August 25, 2015 Post a Comment A viewer finds a different version of a gadget I reviewed. Here's his email:
Hi DickDe, I couldn't find the Xcuse Box for sale, but found something that may be similar:
Just like with OMGChad's, there's always the possibility that the batteries are long passed on.

Via Dick De: While the Get-Off-The-Phone-Excuse-Machine was about $10 on Ebay, I found it and bought it on Amazon for $6.95 and got Amazon Prime free shipping. The batteries were fine and the device worked as soon as I pulled out the plastic battery spacer. Now while the Amazon copy says “This little device gives you 6 different sounds. Freedom is just the press of a button away”, it's very different from the Xcuse Machine. The Xcuse Box not only has 10 sound effects, but each one of them lasts for about a minute. That gives you plenty of time to make your excuse while having very real sound effects in the background. The Get-Off-The-Phone-Excuse-Machine sound effects last just a few seconds so you have to make your excuse very fast. Since Chad seems to have nailed down the last Xcuse Machine Amazon had (and his arrived with a dead hard-to-find battery), the Get-Off-The-Phone-Excuse-Machine is second best, but not nearly as good. It's at this link for under $7 as of 8/27/15.
No longer available.
