This has a 10-hour battery life and pairs with all Bluetooth devices. I have a similar one I took on a camping trip with friends, and it was THE BEST. We listened to music on a boat, in the water, and didn't have to worry about ruining our phones.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life?!?! Seriously, I love this powerhouse portable speaker. I was concerned because it was super reasonable (like cheap) in price that it would be cheap, and I'd end up throwing it into the bathroom or something just for an extra speaker and then having to order a better-quality (more expensive) speaker. I was so wrong! This thing is awesome. I will likely order several more and give them as gifts!" —Mandie
Price: $24.99 (available in blue, green, and black)
For example, I use mine to check the weather every morning while I'm in bed, set a hands-free timer when I'm doing laundry, and use it as a speaker to play music. And I know I should be doing so much more with it.
Promising review: "I am not super-tech-savvy, but I had it set up and playing music within 20 minutes of it being delivered. I used my iPad to "install" it (after getting the free Alexa app), and that was it. No problems. Sound is fantastic, and even though I bought it mainly for the music, I can see myself using it to ask about the weather, how far it is to the nearest Domino's pizza, and how late does my local grocery stay open. If you like to listen to music and ask general questions, this is fantastic. If you are really interested, you can do all kinds of other stuff with it. I think I will keep it simple. Highly recommended!" —S.R. Bullock

Promising review: "I was sick and tired of my old TP-link plug being "unresponsive" more often than not, so I sprung for the pricier Amazon smartplug. I was sure that I'd be wasting my evening trying to connect it, like I did with my old one. I plugged the unit in, and before I could even open the Alexa App, I got a notification on my Fire tablet that the plug was set up and ready to use! Yes, you read correctly: It. Set. Itself. Up. This is how home automation should work. All I had to do was rename it. Thank you, Amazon!" —MacGuyver

I have a similar one to this and LOVE it. I use it every night because it keeps all my cords together and one place. Plus, you can charge multiple devices at once. I also always travel with it because then I don't have to worry about the hotel having enough outlets.
Promising review: "This six-port USB charger works as advertised. I can't believe I didn't order one of these a long time ago. It makes life so much easier My wife and I were always competing for outlets around our bedroom to charge all of our devices (phone, Bluetooth headsets, fitness watches, tablets, etc.). I have also started traveling with this, as hotel rooms don't always have access to the needed outlets. I highly recommend this device." —Walty002

Promising reviews: "This thing has changed my life. I know that sounds weird but honestly of all my Amazon purchases, and there have been many, this is one of the very best. Every day when I get home from work I open it up, and it's loaded. 1200 square feet, half tile, half new carpet. Still loaded." —Nick Carraway
Price: $209.99+ (available in black and white)
It also includes nature-inspired sounds, eight colorful light options, three brightness settings, and FM radio.
Promising review: "This is a brilliant device! I struggle with waking up in the morning, so this has been an extra push to get me out of bed. It has pretty much every feature you could need in an alarm clock. I am considering ordering one for my 6 year old, so that he knows when it's no longer too early and he can wake the rest of the house!" —N Patt
Price: $16.99
Promising review: "This is probably some of the best money I've ever spent in my whole life. Is this outrageously expensive compared to your classic plastic tray? Yes. Does it lock you into using their proprietary litter trays? Yes. But...does it work? YES. There is ZERO odor. I mean ZERO. Like I can put my head inside the small storage area we keep it in, and if you were wearing a blindfold you'd never know the box is in there. Everybody in my house is so happy! Cat gets an always-clean box to do her business, we don't ever deal with cat box smell, and my spouse loves the cleanliness of this box versus the traditional one. Bonus, petsitters never ever have to scoop while we're out of town! If you're thinking about an automatic box, DO IT." —Magi
Price: $129.95 (available in purple and brown)
Promising review: "For 25 years, I have helped my husband look for his wallet. EVERY DAY. No matter what system I tried to introduce him to or what basket was on the counter just for his wallet, it was a dismal failure. EVERY DAY FOR 25 YEARS. I gave this tile to him for Christmas. It has been the best two months of my life." —Pamela Radcliffe
Price: $12.97 (also available in a four-pack)
Promising review: "This stuff works on monitors, laptops, cell phones, mirrors, and anything else I want a streak free finish. It's not cheap, but it takes only a couple of pumps on a lint free cloth to make everything clear and streak free. It lasts a long time and is now a necessity in my house." —Linda G.

Promising review: "I bought a few different cables awhile back to see which one(s) tended to hold up under my daily iPhone 6+ use. Gotta say, this cable has shown no sign of the fraying or coming-apart on the lightning connector end other cables have. It's a bit stiffer, but I've found I like that. I'd buy this one again. I have several cats, and they haven't done any damage to this cable either. That's a first." —majormalfunction
Price: $14.49+ (available in 3-feet and 6-feet and in four colors)
Promising review: "I've been using this as my daily back and forth for work and love it. It fits my Surface Pro (in a fabric sleeve case), my iPad Pro 12.9 (in a fabric sleeve case) and random cables. I set my Anker Powercore 20000 battery on the bottom and use the attached USB cable so I can charge my phone and stuff on the go. The charging port is a really cool feature, which I didn't think I was going to get much use of, and now I am full blown hooked on. I just keep my phone charging cable in the smallest pouch and connect it as needed to the external port." —Adam

Promising review: "My son has had two pairs of Beats earphones that are super expensive said that these are even better than them! His Beats didn't even last long so he is extremely happy with the super output and crisp sound he gets from Betron. The price is what really shocked him. Well, my hubby was so impressed with them so I ordered another Betron set for him too. Sometimes a brand is just a brand and is not worth the money you pay for." —Eric Richter

Promising review: "I love this light. It has four brightness settings and is rechargeable. I only just received it, but wow what a huge difference. And for the price, you just can't beat it!" —Samantha Logan

Promising review: "My car, a 2005 Taurus SEL does not have an aux input. A normal head unit is a pain (and expensive) to install because the car has climate control. So, when I saw this for just over $20, I thought I would give it a try. So far, between my wife and I, we have taken trips in the car over 100 miles, and have been able to keep the radio on the same station the entire time... WITHOUT ANY STATIC!!! This thing is amazing for the price! It is easily worth $50! Besides the music working great, the hands-free calling is great too! If my wife is driving and wants to send me a text, she uses the google assistant to send me text messages hands free! As soon as the text is sent, or a call is finished, the music automatically resumes. I cannot stress enough how awesome this device is!" —Always_Having_Fun
Price: $18.99+ (available in six colors)
Plus, it automatically turns on when you enter the room and off when you leave and has a clock and calendar feature and speakers.
Promising review: "I wasn't looking for a digital frame with its own email address or a frame that was going to call me to remind me to go on another vacation. I wanted superb picture quality, and I needed a frame that would recognize portrait orientation and adjust accordingly. My old frame cut off the tops on all portrait pictures (a plus if I was in the shot). Well, this frame has better picture quality than I could have imagined, was a breeze to set up, and does adjust portrait pictures to display the entire image. It sits on my desk at work, and I am blown away by things I've never seen in some of these pictures. I usually only write reviews on products I hate, which tells you how much I love this frame." —Arthur Aaronson

Promising review: "It's been about six months, and I still love it. I go to the gym and track my workouts. It's nice to be able to see your heart rate zones while working out. I also use this to track my runs. It's probably not as accurate for running as the distance is a little varied sometimes even though I run the same route, but it's still helpful tracking the time, heart rate, and pace. It can also track your golf rounds, which is awesome. Fitbit updates the software every now and then so you always get improvements and the most up to date functionality. I would recommend this product." —Sam Johnson

Promising review: "I initially bought one camera, tried it out for a week, and fell in love. I ended up buying two more cameras for my house shortly after. Wyze Cam is setting a new standard for what to expect in a wifi camera. Most companies want to charge you for cloud storage, but Wyze Cam doesn't. With Wyze Cam, you get all the bells an whistles without breaking the bank. It has motion detection, sound detection, detection zones, night vision, smoke alarm detection, 14 days cloud storage, SD slot, and two way audio! Best of all it's all free, no subscription required!" —Jason Sanchez

Promising review: "These cable clips are exactly what I need. What I like the best about them now is what caused me to almost not purchase them. They have a double backed tape on them. You pull off the tape cover and stick them permanently where you want them. Initially, I did not think I'd like that, BUT I love it. These do not move. They hold the cable securely. I even have one stuck to the side of my office PC with a micro-usb cord through it so I can charge my tablet on top of the PC and never have to search for the cord or make sure it is the right one. Since the cable clip is stuck to side of the PC, it is always there. Cool!!! I highly recommend these." —RCS

Promising review: "This product is amazing! I was frequently losing signal in my bedroom (the original modem/router was a couple of rooms away). When I wasn't losing signal, I had 2-3Mbs download and 1-1.5Mbs upload speeds with 1-2 bar connection strength. Now, I have a full connection strength throughout my entire 2000 square foot house with download speeds of 75-95 Mbs and upload speeds of 10-12 Mbs. These are very close to what I would have if I was physically wired to the modem. I even have 3 bar strength and fast speeds when on my patio (on the opposite side of the house from the modem). I'm so impressed! It took less than 30 minutes to set up (from when I started to open the box to having the entire mesh network running). I was hesitant to purchase because of the cost, but this will save me so much time and frustration, I shouldn't have waited. Websites now load almost immediately!" —Wendy
