Promising review: "This diffuser is the perfect size! The smell is not overpowering, but definitely does a good job. The light is bright at night. Plus the outlets are an excellent idea and make this the ideal diffuser for a car." —Ella Proctor

Promising review: "Excellent product! We are very pleased with it. My boyfriend is a long haul truck driver and this gave him the ports he needed without being clunky or taking up too much space. Its shape really does minimize its footprint. I shopped around locally and on other sites and couldn't beat the price. You can't find this my ports charging at this speed for this cost anywhere else." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We just bought a new car and wanted to protect the seats. We have two young children and these were exactly what we were looking for. They were very easy to install and are easily hidden so you can't see the straps from the front seats. They are exactly what we were looking for and were big enough to cover the seats in our Yukon XL." —Ashley

Promising review: "Love this sunglass holder. It stays securely on the visor and I can put and take my sunglasses on and off from it with one hand. The visor is still usable with the sunglass holder on it and the sunglasses are within perfect reaching distance to take off even while driving with one hand. And the clips hold my sunglasses tightly. It's perfect because my sunglasses don't get scratched and they are always in a good spot." —Tara S.

Promising review: "When I saw this, I had to have it and I had no clue that it was a real lighter! I wish I could give it 10 stars because it is FREAKING AWESOME!!! It's so old-school and totally goes with my old-school Jeep and I totally have my boys believing that I had an ejector seat installed!" —Chance

Promising review: "These were so much fun to have on my van. They stuck really well and I had no issues of them coming off or even moving. It didn't bother the paint and didn't leave any marks. I would recommend them. They would be cute even just on the fridge during the holidays or on a metal door or something." —Tartle

Promising review: "This is the second one of these I've purchased. It's of excellent quality and fits exactly as described. I highly recommended if you want a well-made, substantial cover for your steering wheel. This is not your standard cheap-looking slip on cover; it looks and feels better than the most expensive lace-on leather covers that cost much more." —Rodney St. James

Promising review: "I love this cooler! We used it on a long, two week road trip in our minivan. It allowed us to save money and eat healthier foods by shopping at grocery stores once every one to two days. This was plenty big enough to store milk, cheese, salads, yogurts, etc. We kept it in the back and the fan did not bother anyone; it didn't strike anyone as noisy. It kept the food cold, and even when we left the car for a few hours in pretty extreme heat, the unit kept the food cool enough. Some reviewer commented that you need to have this turned off when you start the car. We just had it turned on all the time. The car started fine and the unit worked perfectly." —V Ember

Promising review: "My armrest is too low for me when driving my BMW. I read reviews of different armrest pillows and picked this one. I have been using it for a month and I am very pleased. I like the memory foam. Even when the temperature is hot in the car, the armrest pillow is cool and doesn't mirror the heat level in the car. It also matches the black interior of the car." —Clarivette Bosch

Promising review: "Love this shade! I knew upon purchase it would be too small for what I’m using it for but it looks super cute in my helicopter. All of the reviews about it fading...everything fades in the sun after some time. It doesn’t take long to fade something whether it’s high or low quality My advice: buy a few of these since the price is so great. This is a novelty type item anyway. Well worth the price." —DJ

Promising review: "Thought this might be one of the silly things I sometimes fall for. Nope. These are awesome. I keep one on the driver's side headrest and the other on the passenger side. I prefer to use the passenger one, because I can reach into my purse from the driver's seat, but if I've got extra people in the car, it's nice to have the flexibility to keep my purse on either side. Also, they fit very snugly and are tough. My purse easily weighs 20 pounds, and it's never looked like they're strained." —Kendra

Promising review: "We take our dogs almost everywhere with us, and being active field dogs, they are frequently wet and muddy. This seat protector is great. It is sturdy and fits the special-order bench seat in the back. I love the flaps that come down the sides, which provide additional protection when the dogs jump in and out. It does not slide around, fitting snugly, but not too tight. Also, it installed easily." —Jenine

This vacuum includes a filter, extension hose, brush attachment, and crevice attachment.
Promising review: "This little vacuum packs a punch when it comes to cleaning your car. It's powerful enough to pick up pebbles, plywood splinters, leaves, and sand. Yeah, it's been a while since I cleaned my car. I used mostly the crevice wand because the suction was more defined. The brush was good for dash but seemed like it lost suction for rug cleaning. Amazing!! Totally worth it!! Keep this baby in your car for quick cleanups on the go." —It'sJustMe

Promising review: "I really wasn't expecting this to be as strong and well made as it is. It opens in a flash, and has two compartments with extra support for the bottom. It is really compact and takes up almost no room in my trunk, a big plus also. It stands open while I load it, and doesn't collapse on me like other organizers I have had. I use it all the time and it has held up very well." —Melanie P. Moses

Promising review: "I love this sticker! It's been on my car for four months or so and it has not worn down in the slightest. It looks like it did when I first bought it. Its the same size in the picture as it is on your car. The white has not faded!" —Autumn

Promising review: "I gave this as a gift to a new police officer. They have to build their own gear bag and this is a must-have. It's easy to keep stored in your car. He even tested it on a junk vehicle and it really works as advertised. It's great for emergencies." —Cindy Lou

Promising review: "I have used many different styles of phone holder, but this is my favorite due to ease of use and low profile on the dashboard. Just slap the phone on the magnetic base! No unclipping and adjusting the cradle like with other solutions. I am also impressed at how securely the magnets work to keep my phone secure. You can use these with heavy phone cases like Otterbox or Lifeproof, but I would use two magnetic sticker plates to keep the phone from falling off. You can actually use the included magnetic plates as stickers on the back of your phone if you don’t use a case. Otherwise, slip the magnets into your case behind your phone. I use two magnets in my phone case for a secure grip." —BonxD

Promising review: "This was the first time I had ever attempted a project like this and I was able to get great results without any special tools. I just used the polishing pad included, a microfiber towel and some high grit sand paper for the tougher spots. Everything worked out well. I finished the job with Turtle Wax polish. The pictures speak for themselves. This stuff works!" —TEXAS95
