Promising review: "YES! This makes tiny Eggo-sized waffles! Plus, you can put anything into it— hash browns, tater tots, waffle mix, or even canned biscuits! Or you can add nuts and berries and things! It even comes with a little recipe booklet! It fits in the palm of your hand, and you could literally stuff it in the back of a drawer, but you won't because as soon as you get it, everyone wants mini waffles for every meal. It heats up super fast and is a breeze to clean. If you're making a whole mess of waffles, be sure to give it a quick spritz of nonstick spray every couple waffles or so, so it doesn't rend your delicious waffles asunder. It's an excellent value. Buy 10 of them and a food truck, and you'd be in business." —Bryce Pierce

Promising review: "Seriously, the best knife set you can get for this price. They LOOK expensive, the design is unique, the knives work great, and it saves so much space in the kitchen! Every time I have guests over, they ask about this knife set. And if you do not like the "utopia" label, it is only on one side so just turn the set the other way!" —R. M.

The utensils are sold separately, but are also reasonably priced! Brandless takes out the middleman and sells quality items at a fraction of the price you'll see at typical retailer. Plus, every time you check out, a meal is donated through Feeding America. I call that a win-win. Now, excuse me while I go stock up my new kitchen.

Promising review: "I love this product! I have always had a difficult time removing hot and steamy lids from dishes with no place to put them without making a mess on my countertop. If placed upside down on the counter, then it's too hot to pick back up. This stand works perfectly for all my lids from my heavy lid on the Dutch oven to small lids. It's also great for large spoons and ladles without making a mess. I highly recommend it." —Colleen R.

Promising review: "The images of the glasses showed something interesting and unique. When they arrived, they proved to be functional, also. I love how they feel in my hand, so secure and comfortable. I love how they catch the light because of the slanted design of the glass sides. I've received many compliments. They are what I go to first because they are so pretty. They come out of the dishwasher sparkling and intact. The price was unbelievably reasonable! They look like expensive, designer glasses. It's such a good feeling to actually enjoy one's drinking glasses." —Joan Determan
