Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

Promising review: "I purchased this product for the first time almost exactly two years ago and if I have said it once, I have said it a million times...it is definitely one of the best purchases I have EVER made. I am a tea drinker!! YEARS, and I mean YEARS, thank you ADHD I would find my tea cup left in the microwave, or my tea kettle or pot boiled dry on the stove. This heats the water SO quickly, and if I am distracted by squirrels it boils and then shuts itself off!! I do like that this kettle is glass and see-through, I can tell how much water is in it from across the kitchen. some models have no indicator of water level, you have to take the lid off to check." —KJB

The bins are lightweight but sturdy and fit well on the shelves, making it simple to store everything from produce to snacks.

Promising review: "Spring cleaning kicked in hard for me this week, and I was marathoning cleaning TikTok compilations when I discovered this little tool. This thing is AMAZING. I used it on our couch first, which is a dark brown fabric, and the difference was instant and visible. I wish I had taken before and after photos, but I cleaned everything I could in about 30 minutes. I can't rave about it enough. It works incredibly well, quickly and visibly, on every fabric surface I have tried it on. 1,000% recommend." —Heather G

Promising review: "So happy that I bought this beautiful wall charger. It looks much more expensive. The six outlets are nicely positioned so that I can use all of them at the same time. Two USB outputs are ideal for charging our phones. Highly recommend!" —Elaine

Promising review: "I live in a basement with no kitchen. I have this little kitchenette I have built up, but have been wanting something to make a burger in, with the option to make other foods. I liked the thought of this one because I can make noodles, a pancake, eggs, or anything else I wish. And have the option to clean the little pan that comes in it. This also came with a lid. So far so good, my burger was yummy." —Angela Osbourne

"Every flight attendant needs this. If you travel for work this is a must have. All hotel rooms don’t have microwaves, and who feels like leaving their room? Not me. So I plug this up and heat my food up in less than five min. I pack this in my carry-on; it’s a must-have" —Lala

Promising review: "I ordered this spray to keep my apartment smelling good for the holidays. I LOVE the pumpkin fragrance. I have two dogs, so I use it on my couch, my rug, my bedding, and on the carpets. It gets rid of all the bad smells and replaces them with pumpkin spice goodness! I’ll definitely be ordering again once I’m out!!" —Abby

Promising review: "It kills me to write this review because I never thought I would be writing a review for a sink strainer. But when you come across a well-engineered product that solves a problem for you, no matter how simple, it should get credit. This strainer allows full flow down the drain even when it is full of food particles, so you can just clean it easily after you are all done. No food can sneak by due to the design and it even looks good." —CaptainDingle

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I needed to organize all the stuff that ends up in the bathroom vanity cabinet. These were perfect in every way. Being clear it is easy to see what is in each bin. Assorted sizes made it easy to sort out what I had and make best use of the space. The bins are beautifully made and look great on a shelf, in a drawer, in a cabinet, or even on the countertop. I would definitely buy again and have already suggested them to my friends. Happy to find quality products that are Made in the USA!" —Linda

Promising review: "We live in an old 1790s home with lots of wall trim and moulding. This piece of cleaning equipment makes dusting super easy. All I do is run around the room a couple of times, tackling each level of trim at a time and then shake it out outdoors. When it gets really dusty and dirty, I just toss it in the wash. LOVE IT!" —swissgirl

Promising review: "Who knew this existed? Looks like marble or quartz, actually made out of rubber.

My new favorite item." —Mountain View Reviewer

Promising review: "This is a great product, well worth the money. We bought these to combat a washing machine seal on a front-loading washer that has seen cleaner days. These tablets greatly help with that! My washing machine was starting to smell and my son was complaining his clothes didn't smell clean. I had heard of other brands, but they were very expensive for what you get. These come in a great little tablet you just throw in the washing cycle and they certainly do what they say they will do. My washer no longer has a musty smell and the gasket seal is remarkably cleaner than it was. Highly recommend!" —Brites

Promising review: "I’ve had this first aid kit for several years under my kitchen sink and have never had to restock, even with generous use. This kit has pretty much everything you might need within reason, for a great price as well. This kit has been a service to those living in my apartment, from basic shaving cuts to a deep laceration for the hip. After a freak accident in which I fell on, broke, and stabbed myself in the love handle area with my glass water bottle, this kit allowed me to stay calm and pressurize the wound with gauze and bandages while arranging a ride to the ER." —Olivia K

All you do is place one pouch in the disposal, run the water and disposal until the blue foam rises, and once the blue foam retreats back into the pipe you turn off the disposal and it's done! You don't have to scrub or do any cleanup.

Promising reviews: "We moved into a townhouse that had a garbage disposal in the kitchen. I never had one growing up and didn't think too much about it until the funky smell started. I researched ways to clean it and came across these. Decided to order a four-pack and try them. THEY ARE LIFE CHANGING. Just run some water, toss the packet in, and turn on the disposal. The little packet does all the hard work for you. I order a new set as soon as we start to run low." —lucas broshears

Promising review: "As a semi-retired handyman, I really appreciate tools that make my life easier. And this one is well-thought-out. First, the interchangeable bits are fairly thin and long, which makes them easier for getting into tight spaces. The second thing is how easily and quickly the bits can be changed. Because they are on the outside of the handle instead of inside a hollow handle or bit holder, you can easily see which one you need next. Make the swap with just a flick of a finger, and the bit you need is ready to go in seconds." —MrGizmo

Promising review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom and this fit perfectly. I have it extended to about 23-inch and it holds sturdy, though I can see if you were to extend it to its full length it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene R.

Promising review: "These are amazing for cleaning and a great price! I’m mad at myself for not purchasing sooner. In an effort to reduce the huge amount of paper towels we go through, I decided to purchase these. I use one to two a day for kitchen cleanup and put them in the laundry. They pick up little crumbs easily and don’t leave my quartz streaky. I have a super messy 10-month-old and I clean his highchair with these and they work wonderfully. I also use these for dusting — they pick up everything. The only thing that was a negative was that the first time I washed them in warm water (per instructions), the yellow color bled onto the white and turned them an off white color. Not a big deal, but be careful not to wash the yellow rags with anything you care about! Last thing, but don’t use fabric softener with these or they won’t be as absorbent!" —Meg R.

Promising review: "Well-designed and sturdy product. It solves the problem of searching for batteries when you need them. I see myself buying less batteries as now, all my batteries are neatly stored in one central location.The tester is a great feature, it takes the guesswork out of what is normally a very tedious chore of find the right battery, making sure it's a good battery, and determining if the problem lies with the battery or the actual device. Would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to organize their battery supply. Not some cheap plastic, but a really durable and solid product. Also makes a great gift!" —Howard NY

Be sure to check out our full write-up on this Folex stain remover!

Promising reviews: "So my dog got into my makeup bag and got ahold of some liquid lipstick and, needless to say, I flipped out to see my carpets neon orange. It took about an hour and two rolls of paper towels but holy moly! WOW did this stuff work! My mother recommended it to me after using it on minor stains at her house and I'm so glad I got it. Definitely worth the money and it really does disappear right before your eyes like the bottle says!" —Jen

"The reviews and before/after pics had me curious, but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn’t set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I’m amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains but that’s my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle you will not be disappointed!" —LMK32294
