    35 Products For Anyone Who Doesn’t Want To Waste Time During The Day

    These time-saving products will only make your life easier.

    1. A rapid egg cooker you can use to make hard-, medium-, or soft-boiled eggs in a matter of minutes. So goodbye to not knowing what you're going to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner this week.

    Multiple people on the BuzzFeed Shopping team love this little device and so others, as it has more than 91,000 5-star ratings. Plus, it comes with a recipe book to help you come up with a few new ideas to try.

    Promising review: "I am not a fan of 'extra gadgets' in the kitchen. They clutter things up as far as I am concerned. But this truly is a game changer for my hard-boiled eggs. I have tried EVERY method in the book for hard boiling. This cooks them perfectly — no gray rings. They peel with no struggles at all! The only drawback is that you can only do six at a time, but it goes so quickly that I don't even mind that all. Easy to use, easy to clean. You won't be disappointed in this gadget — it does what it is meant to do perfectly! —Sarah Z

    2. A "flossing toothbrush" that's actually designed with two layers of bristles —regular firm ones that clean the same as a normal toothbrush, and longer ones that are thinner to help clean deeper in your teeth and gums and mimic flossing. Many reviewers love how clean their teeth feel after using it that many have ditched their expensive electric toothbrushes in favor of this genius style.

    Mouthwatchers is a small business started by Dr. Ronald Plotka to create antimicrobial toothbrushes to help to get deeper cleans that patients might miss with a traditional brush and floss routine. As always, your dentist will have the best advice on the routine that's best for you!

    Promising review: "I love the feel of this toothbrush. More important, I just had my teeth cleaned, and the hygienist said my mouth was in great shape — in spite of the fact that my appointment was delayed for two months AND I was a bit lazy when it came to flossing. It seems to work way better than my expensive electric one, which I am retiring." —Jackie

    3. Some Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray, because, who are you kidding?  You're never going to pull out your iron to get those pants pressed. Instead, all you have to do is spray this on the pants, pull down on the fabric a bit, and the wrinkles will disappear. Plus, it will leave behind a fresh scent so you can totally wear those pants for the second (or third) day in a row!

    Promising review: “Easy to use, convenient, and effective. I love this stuff!! I use it in my dorm room, since ironing anything in this tiny space is a pain. It’s easy to use, you just spray the front and back and pull on it for a minute to release all the wrinkles. It smells great – very fresh. Although if you’re very sensitive to scents/perfumes in your detergent this might also irritate your skin since the scent is kind of strong, but it does calm down when it dries. I do have slightly sensitive skin and it’s never bothered me, though. Plus, even if you do have the space to iron, it’s such a time saver in the mornings and great for things like T-shirts that don’t usually need to be ironed but are wrinkly. I think you would still need to iron things like dress shirts or pants, though. My mom has been using this for years, and it was great when I was a young teenager so that I didn’t have to get out the iron and make my mom worry about me burning the house down. Overall, I think this product is super convenient and a time- and energy-saver worth having around the house.” —Isabel

    4. An Angry Orange stain remover that works to break down both stains *and* odor — even if they've been baked into your carpet for a long time. The enzyme-active cleaner can tackle those accidents on most surfaces, including carpet, tile, concrete, fabric, and more.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I will never look for another pet stain remover again; this is it. My ride or die. I’ve tried a ton of different products to remove stains and odor but none of them worked as well as this stuff. The stain in that photo (above) was here since we moved into our new house so she was pretty baked in. I was sure it wasn’t going anywhere. But this stuff took it right out! My dog has also added a few new stains of his own to the carpet and this has gotten every single one out. 10/10 recommend" —Tara

    5. An Instant Pot great for anyone who hates cooking (and even people who enjoy it) to make it so much easier to make delicious meals that you *might* stop making mac 'n' cheese three times a week.

    reviewer image of the Instant Pot

    It's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker, and food warmer all rolled into one nifty appliance. Plus, it comes with the stamp of approval from more than 137,000 5-star ratings (!!!!). Check out our full review of the Instant Pot!

    Promising review: "I am a guy not too fond of cooking and cleaning up. I like working out and eating clean. I bought the 6-quart last weekend, and I can say my life is now on a different trajectory because of this product. Cooking and cleaning up is now a breeze. It cooks amazing foods. (I suggest getting a recipe book.) I can cook in large batches for the whole week without too much fuss. The best part is cleaning up. Due to the deep bowl, it doesn't splatter everywhere when cooking. I use it to sauté a lot. It has replaced my electric stove and even my microwave. I just ordered the nonstick bowl for it as the food seems to stick to the stainless-steel bowl when searing or sautéing. It's an amazing product." —TK

    Get the six-quart size from Amazon for $99.99.

    6. And some Instant Pot magnetic cheat sheets that somehow make this genius device even easier to use because you'll know exactly how to cook so many different dishes without having to ask Alexa for help once.

    The Instant Pot Magnetic Cheat Sheet Set
    Amazon

    Promising review: "I am so happy that I decided to give this product a try! What an amazing idea. I placed the smaller magnet right on the Instant Pot and use it daily for a quick reference. Instead of searching the cookbook or internet, I can just glance over and know in an instant how to program my IP for that particular product." —Olesya

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).

    7. A microwave pasta cooker, because waiting for water to boil is the WORST part of making pasta. What's the saying about watching paint dry? Well, when you're hungry, boiling water is worse than that.

    The clear rectangular container with pasta in it with the water being poured out
    Reviewer image of the pasta they made using the pasta cooker

    Plus, it's super easy to use. Just measure how much pasta you want to cook using the serving size holes in the top of the container. Then add water to the level etched on the side of the container. With the lid off, heat the container in the microwave. One serving usually takes about 12 to 13 minutes. Then put the lid on, hold the sides, and pour the water out. (This part will be very hot.)

    Promising review: "I love this pasta cooker! I use it every day! I like that the lid fits loosely so that I can quickly drain the cooked pasta without any spilling out. It is very sturdy and easy to use. When I am finished, I just rinse the starch off and that’s it! It saves me a lot of time and stores well. The only thing I would like more would be a choice for a smaller size. My microwave is too small so the cooker can’t turn on the rotation." —J. Reynolds

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    8. Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray you apply to your hair after washing it to not only protect it from heat and tame frizz but also cut down your drying time by 50%. You'll be out the door in no time with beautiful hair in the morning, even if you press snooze a couple of times.

    Reviewer showing blown out hair after using product

    Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened the drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on your hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quite a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk, but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy) and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" —Janice C. Henderson

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).

    9. pet hair remover for any pet parent who can't seem to escape the loads of hair that end up covering their furniture. Seriously, sometimes it feels like they lose every single hair on their body every day. Simply roll it on the upholstery, and it will grab every last strand.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I’m convinced that my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending 3x longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" —tiff4short

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and white). 

    10. A pair of beaded fan pull extenders to make it incredibly easy for you to know which chain is for the light and which is for the fan. Plus, the chains add over a foot of length to your existing pulls, so you don't have to grab a ladder just to turn the fan on.

    Promising review: "This is the definition of 'product you didn't know you needed because you didn't know it existed.' I was FOREVER pulling the wrong chain on our bedroom ceiling fan. (Want the light off? Oh no...now the fan's on high. Need to change the fan speed? Eek... now you're in the dark.) They're a much better quality than I expected. They're actually quite heavy-duty pull chains, and they add a bit of fun to the decor. (When you notice them — most of the time, who even things about a ceiling fan pull chain?) As an added bonus, my infant daughter loves staring at them while I change her diaper or jammies. I tap them to make the chains swing, and it's instant fascination, which helps make my job easier!" —LHD

    Get it from Amazon for $5.88+ (available in six finishes). 

    11. Some vinyl measurement conversion decals so you don't have to stop mid-recipe to Google "how many cups are in one quart," because who can ever remember if it's 3, 4, or 5???? These fit perfectly on the inside of a cabinet, so your cheat sheet can stay discreet and ready for you at a moment's notice. This isn't high school anymore.

    the measurement decals pasted inside a cabinet with measuring cups underneath, and six measurement conversions (gallon, quart, pint, cup, 1/4 cup, and one tablesoon)
    Amazon

    Promising review: "Put them on my cabinet and my friends/relatives think I am a genius! So handy, just open the door and there they are, no thinking involved! Don't know that my baking taste will be any better but I can't blame it on incorrect measurements anymore!" —Toady

    Get the decals from Amazon for $11.99.

    12. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray you can spritz all over your face in the morning to keep your makeup in place, so you never have to reapply. It's said to help fading and smudging for up to 16 hours. It's essentially witchcraft if you ask me.

    BuzzFeed editor showing how her makeup stayed in place for 12 hours after using the urban decay setting spray
    Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking multiple trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) 

    Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, multiple meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying multiple times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non-waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."

    Get it from Amazon for $36.

    13. Bed bands that'll work super hard to keep the corners of your fitted sheet in place so they don't pop off and try to escape every chance they get. Plus, this means you won't have to fight to get the sheet on all four corners as often — that itself is a chore.

    The same bed with the sheets perfectly fitted

    Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

    Get a pack of four bands from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four pack sizes and five colors).

    14. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker reviewers swear by for staying on top of their medication. After you take your pill, you simply slide that day of the week over, and you'll know for sure that you've taken it for the day. No more questioning if you took your pill this morning or if you just remember taking it yesterday morning. 🧐

    Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love it. This is a lifesaver! I’ve been looking for something like this for years. I always forget 10 minutes later if I actually took my medicine or just put it down. I’ve tried so many different ways, making marks on the bottle, making stickers, and other pill containers. None ever work. And pill containers are so bulky when I only need one pill." —Niki

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in white and blue).

    15. A handy bag holder that'll make it *sooooo* much easier to carry all your bags in one trip without the threat of dropping half of it on the floor because you said to yourself, "I can TOTALLY carry all of this" (when, in fact, you probably shouldn't have).

    Click & Carry is a Los Angeles-based, woman-owned small business that Kim Meckwood started when she wanted to solve the problem of carrying heavy shopping bags. Each bag holder can hold up to 80 pounds. Reviewers also say this holder comes in handy to help carry paint cans, sports equipment, and more.

    Promising review: "I heard about this product from a friend and had been meaning to check it out. My only regret about this purchase is not getting it earlier! I used to dread going to the grocery store due to the hassle of struggling with all my bags and the multiple trips to and from the car. Now those days are a thing of the past because of this ESSENTIAL product. After realizing my newfound love of this product, I did some research and found all sorts of other uses for it such as using it to secure my purse to my shopping cart and hooking my dog leashes together to walk both dogs at the same time. I love this product and love gifting it to others as well!" —Lisa Gilroy

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors and also two-packs). 

    16. A clip-on strainer brilliantly designed to fit in any size pot or pan, so you can drain water, grease, or any other liquid without using a bulky (and hard to clean) colander.

    Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —Freyja

    Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in five colors). 

    17. Hoover carpet cleaner that will basically work overtime to suck up dirt, dust, and pet hair while also steaming your carpets at the same time. There's even a dry mode that removes all the excess water. You'll be able to get your carpets in tip-top shape with one machine instead of wasting a full day vacuuming, then steaming, and then waiting for everything to dry.

    Promising review: "I love everything about the Hoover Smartwash Automatic Carpet cleaner! With adopting our daughter's 16-year-old cat recently, we forgot what problems we used to have with our older cats; not a lot of fun at times. Since we have had the old boy it has been fun, except when he has hairballs, and then the real fun starts! We received our new Hoover shampooer about two weeks ago. So simple to operate, and the carpets dry exceptionally fast. Don't be lazy and do the final rinse with clean water as suggested. The touch button 'full time' dry feature allows you to go back and forth in the dry mode and ALL the excess water comes up like a charm. No leakage, very fast-cleaning, and exceptional suction! I didn't need to pre-spot anything. A great machine!!!" —Peter E. von Elten

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (also available in five other styles).

    18. A detangling leave-in conditioner parents swear by to tame frizz, reduce breakage, and hydrate curls, all while avoiding a meltdown of epic proportions as they try to brush their child's hair.

    Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried a few products from Walmart, Ulta and Target, and nothing was good enough. This is now on my subscribe and save every month!" —Tamira McLelland

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    19. A set of lotus trolley bags designed to fit exactly in a shopping cart. These will allow you to bag your groceries as you go and then swiftly put them in your car afterward to take home.

    Promising review: "I am the envy of all who see me. Seriously. The only 'problem' with these bags is how many people will stop you to ask about them. I never forget to bring my reusable bags anymore because these are so useful! I use the scan as you shop app at my local store and bag as I go. When I’m finished shopping, I scan it at any register, pay, and go. Everything is packed the way I want it and can be easily carried into my home. It saves time while helping the environment — win/win. I plan to buy these for all of my friends for their birthdays. So much more useful than body wash or another scented candle!" —S. Connell

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99

    20. A set of seat gap fillers so you'll never experience the feeling of having your phone fall between the seat and the center console while you're driving, knowing it's going to take about 10 minutes to retrieve it from the black hole down there.

    Promising review: "These things are amazing!! My Explorer has an abyss under the seat. If anything drops, it’s gone forever! These stay in place way better than expected. I won’t go without them ever!" — Kaci A.

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.

    21. heatless curling rod headband great for anyone who wants perfectly curled hair but hates how long it takes to actually get that look with a curling iron. Simply wrap your hair around the headband before you go to bed, and you'll wake up to big curls (sans heat damage)!

    The set includes a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. You can use this on all hair types, but reviewers say it works best when used with damp hair!

    Promising review: "I don’t tend to buy products like this, let alone leave a review! But I love this product. It's so easy to use! And leaves my hair better than if I were to curl it and with no heat! It saves me so much time in the morning. 15/10" —Grecia

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors). 

    22. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer because chopping takes an absurd amount of time. Like, seriously, when I read a recipe and it says it will take 20 minutes, they're not taking my slow chopping skills into account. This gadget will ~cut~ that chopping time in half.

    Reviewer pic of carrots in the middle of the white and black chopper
    the same reviewer now showing how nicely it cut up all the veggies for the recipe

    It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables. Plus, you get a lid with a built-in chop and a storage container to hold the veggies.

    Promising review: "I’ve had this for a couple of months now, and it makes my life SOOOOO much easier. Anything I’ve thrown at it, it’s sliced with ease. Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, onions, celery, carrots...EASY! I even use to chop the eggs when I make potato salad now since it’s so easy and makes perfect slices.

    "What used to take me three to four mins chopping up an onion and then a face full of ruined makeup, now takes less than one minute and no makeup ruined. The blades are SHARP, definitely be careful when removing them. But the lock on the tray makes it easy and so far I haven’t hurt myself with it. Typically, I’ll use it and then rinse out the top and put it in the dishwasher. It’s been through on the top rack well over 20 times now and still looks brand new. If something ever happens to this one, I’ll be back to get another one. It saves me so much time when cooking dinner!" —Macygrey09

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors and also two other styles).

    23. A Shark robot vacuum guaranteed to make you feel like you're living in the future because it will vacuum your whole house for you. Yeah, you heard that right. Cross vacuum off your to-do list because this gadget's got it covered. 

    I have a similar Shark robot vacuum and think it is so great. We run it two to three times a week in the apartment, and it really does a great job at keeping the floor clean. It's easy to program a schedule that works best for you so you don't even have to worry about remembering to vacuum, this gadget will do it for ya. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my Shark robot vacuum. It saves me so much time and works great. With two dogs, three cats, and kids, my floors were always a mess. I run this twice a day and my floors look great, and I haven't had to get my regular vacuum out since I have had it. I have one high-pile rug that it may not get all the dog hair out of it, but it works wonders on my hardwood floors. Also, I love how it fits in small places like under the bathroom vanity and side tables where my other vacuum could not. My only regret is not buying two of them (one for each floor) when they were on sale. Do yourself a favor and order this!! 10 stars!" —Chad Haney

    Get it from Amazon for $185+ (available in three colors). 

    24. A hard-boiled egg timer so you don't have to google "How to make hard-boiled eggs?" every time you try because you can never remember how long it takes. Just plop this in the water with your eggs, and the color will change to show you how boiled they are, taking all the guesswork out of it. It's an ~egg-cellent~ lil' gadget, I say.

    Promising review: "Is this 100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Can't wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    25. formula dispensing machine for any new parent who knows that a couple of seconds really do matter when it comes to calming a screaming hungry baby. This genius machine mixes and warms bottles to the perfect consistency and temperature in seconds. You both will be so thankful.

    Baby Brezza

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor John Mihaly says: "Listen, listen, listen. Without hyperbole, the Baby Brezza has been one of my best investments for year one in babyland. Late-night feeds no longer become about fumbling, spilling, mixing, warming, and minutes later delivering a so-so bottle to a crying child. No, in seconds a measured and warm concoction is in hand and then in baby's mouth. Just add water to the tank and formula to the dispenser and serve bottles ranging between 2–10 ounces warmed to three different temperatures. The time, effort, and stress this wonderful machine has saved me from is emotionally immeasurable and worth the price tag. It even forces you to clean it after every four uses because that formula gets gunky and you get lazy."

    26. pancake batter dispenser and mixer made so you can mix and pour pancakes in one fell swoop. Your kitchen will be less messy on Saturday morning and your stomach will be full. Now that's the good life.

    Promising review: "If you like to eat pancakes for breakfast a lot and want to avoid a lot of dishes, please get this! This is so worth it. I saw this on TikTok and had to get it. Just make sure you’re putting the amount of water that’s right for the amount you’re going to eat." —Buchii

    27. Wad-Free, which is about to change your laundry life. Don't believe me? This seemingly boring square thing attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, be less wrinkled, and stop them from encompassing everything in the drier so it turns into a tangled mess. You'll spend less time doing laundry because your sheets will be dry the first time you check on them. 

    Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic. 

    Promising review: "These are life-changing!! The sheets don’t get bound up and twisted full of socks and under things. And therefore you KNOW that those socks and underthings are CLEAN. And the sheets are CLEAN. Which means not wasting time, soap, water, and electricity washing all that stuff all over again!!!! They’re good for your mood and good for the wallet and for the environment. Buy them and see what this brilliant woman has wrought. I’m buying a set for my kid going off to college and another set for me so I can do more than two sheets at once." —LHorns 4Ever

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.

    28. clear toy blocker if you find yourself on the floor multiple times a day retrieving the toy that your "retriever" seems to lose under your furniture every time you turn around. It comes in two heights, can be cut to fit in the space exactly, and the tape can be removed and washed, so there's no harm to your floor. Score!

    Promising review: "I wish I bought this sooner! My dog has always enjoyed the game of putting his toys under the couch and then staring at me to get them for him. It's been so nice to not have to constantly move my couch to get to the toys stuck in the middle or reach my arm under the couch anymore. I had to trim the top of it a bit to get it to fit nicely and two of the pieces for the sides of the couch but it was simple. The floor should be pretty clean for best adhesion." —Anna Elfstrum

    29. An LED fog-less mirror you can mount in your shower so you can shave right after you finish washing your hair and get on with your day. This way if you hit snooze one too many times, you'll still make it out the door in time. 

    Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas

    30. A microwave rice and quinoa cooker to take the task of making your grain on the stove (that takes approximately 20 minutes) and turn it into a super-simple step in your dinner-making plans. The bowl is designed to stop water from overflowing, so you can make the base of your dinner in less time. Plus, when it's ready, you can just serve it in the bowl, and that saves yet another step.

    Promising review: "We love this rice maker! Prep time in just minutes... This has saved us so much time, especially when we need dinner done quickly! The rice comes out fully cooked... In the beginning, it may take a few tries, since all microwaves are different, (setting at 800) as recommended, you'll eventually know what amount of rice goes with what amount of water, etc.... I add salt to taste and a teaspoon of olive oil, and it comes out delish! When done, just turn it over on your serving plate or just serve it directly from the container... Afterward, just pop in the dishwasher, no hard rice scraping to do. Highly recommend!" —Ani

    31. A portable paw cleaner you most definitely need if your pup seems to go out of their way to find mud when you're out on a walk. Just fill this cleaner with water, dunk their paw in, and the silicone bristles will do all the hard work for you and get the mud off in a matter of seconds.

    No more muddy pawprints showing up all over your home!

    Promising review: "I love this product. I ordered a medium at first and seemed to work fine for our two dogs, (Australian shepherd mix and lab mix). The medium was a little small for the Lab, so I ordered the large. The large is easier to fit her paws into, but it's harder to use because it's much bigger (which was expected). They both work, and we absolutely love how clean it gets their paws. We were shocked to see how dirty the water was. This saves us so much time from wiping their paws with wet towels and then drying them. You do still have to dry their paws, but if they happen to slip away, you just have to deal with a wet floor and not a wet/muddy floor. I definitely recommend this product to everyone who has a dog." –Ripleigh

    32. A Thaw Claw to defrost meat up to seven times faster. All you have to do is suction it to your sink, fill the sink with water, and then put the frozen food under the claw. It will be defrosted in no time — and you'll never have to remember to take the meat out of the fridge in the morning again.

    Promising review: "A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." —Llda Schellhase

    33. A windshield cover designed to protect your car from both ice and snow so you can leave in the morning and not have to spend extra time clearing your windshield before you hit the road.

    Promising review: "I love this product. I live in Minnesota, and this is great not only for snow but for protecting against frost, which we get six months a year, it seems. I wish I had it years ago. One thing on this product that I don't see on some others out there is that it covers your wipers extremely well, which is great!" —Amazon Customer

    34. An adjustable hair dryer holder to give you a ~hand~ as you do your hair. It will basically turn your bathroom into a salon without having to leave your house. 

    Bestie Brands is a small business started by a hairstylist to help their grandmother dry their hair after having a stroke. You can either screw the mount into the wall or use suction cups for a more temporary solution. 

    Promising review: "I wish I found this product sooner, I would have saved so many hours. It cut my hair blow dry time from 30 minutes to 12 minutes. I'm also able to do my makeup while my hair is drying. I also love how light it is and how easily it sticks anywhere I'd like. It's very secure and fits almost every size blowdryer. I've been recommending this product to all my friends and family. I highly recommend this amazing product to anyone wants to get a professional blowout quickly without spending too much time, and most importantly, without your arms getting tired." —Mariya

    35. A fizzing toilet tablet you simply drop in your toilet, and the fizzing will work to loosen all the stains and buildup. Then all you have to do is lightly brush the bowl, flush all the grossness away, and get back to doing more fun and exciting things in your life.

    Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo who created natural body, hair, and home products that wouldn't irritate her daughter's severe eczema.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."
