    Eek — You've Gone Waaay Too Long Without These 59 Products In Your Home

    Honestly, I'm appalled it's taken you this long to get an air fryer.

    1. A cozy Barefoot Dreams throw blanket you can use to keep warm while hanging on the couch, and also use as decor because it's just that dang cute.

    Promising reviews: "The best blanket. Amazingly soft, and super stretchy! This blanket is big, my partner and I can share it on opposite sides of our couch." htxcatxdad

    "This blanket feels like butter, it’s extremely soft. It’s surprisingly long and will cover a queen bed. I was on the fence because of the price but it definitely lived up to it’s hype.KarenAmor

    Get it from Nordstrom for $147 (available in five solid colors and multiple leopard print options). 

    Reviews agree the OG Barefoot Dreams throw is *amazing* and well worth the price, but if the total is too hefty for ya, Amazon has a top-rated cheaper option for under $50!

    2. The Always Pan — the kitchen appliance that quickly grew a cult following for being all in one. (I'm not kidding about the following — colors sell out ALL the time.) With every purchase, you'll get a beechwood spatula and a stainless steel steamer basket.

    Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, Our Place

    I've had the green Always Pan for a while now (that's mine above on the left!), and it's still one of my favorite things in my kitchen. I'm no chef by any means, but I can't help but be way more motivated with this cutie on my stove. It's got pour spouts, a built-in spoon rest, and a super-convenient non-stick (and non-toxic) coating! You can steam, strain, sauté, fry the list goes on.

    Promising review: "I purchased an Always Pan in 2020 and have since purchased two more as gifts, and two of the Perfect Pots. I love knowing that I am not cooking chemicals into my food while using these. They are super easy to clean, and I was really surprised that the exterior color does not get stained by food. It is definitely important to use only a super-soft sponge on the pan interior. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first given the price of the pan, but you can honestly tell that there is a high level of quality! Very happy with this purchase!" Angelique O.

    Get it from Our Place for $115 (originally $150; available in eight colors).

    3. A string of under-cabinet lights that'll be useful when prepping dinner, but they'll also give your kitchen a more elevated look. Are you standing in a hotel or your home kitchen??

    Includes a remote that can adjust the brightness.

    Promising review "This is a wonderful product; just what I wanted. Super easy to install, and I love that it breaks off into sections, so you don’t have any hanging over to hide. The remote is awesome, and there are lots of brightness settings. I’m going to use these everywhere!" —Queen Halloween

    Get the six-piece kit from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three light colors).

    4. A stainless-steel rainfall shower head to transform your bathroom in the best way. Who said you can't have bougie, spa-level showers every day?

    View of the spout from the bottom. This one is attached from the ceiling.
    Very thin spout with a flat water head, making a large sheet of water fall down

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful shower head, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

    Get it from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

    5. A collapsible hanger that not only makes it easier to see all your options in a crowded closet, but it uses half the space! This hanger holds up to five pairs of pants but only takes up the space of two or three. *Mind blown* 🤯

    Promising review: "I am very pleased with these hangers! I first bought one to try it with my boyfriend’s pants, and I loved them so I had to buy another one. The material of the part where you place the pants prevents any type of clothing from sliding off. Saves a lot of space on my closet and was easy to install, took me less than two minutes. The hangers come with the tool necessary and an extra piece that holds the rods in case you lose one. Overall very happy with the results, will buy again if I need more!" —Lizette Lopez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    6. A super soft Parachute linen sheet set to turn your favorite place (your bed, duh) into the oasis it should be. This set comes complete with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases — each made of breathable, cooling, and moisture-wicking fabric.

    Parachute

    Promising reviews: "I love linen sheets, but these Parachute sheets are the best I've ever slept on/in. They wash well, remain true to size, and are soft and luxurious." —Patricia F. 

    "Not what I expected, but so much better. I’ve been hunting for linen sheets for a while, and I was happy with the percale and sateen sets I already had. These are more of a weathered linen, and absolutely perfect. Just a completely different texture than anything I’ve felt, and because they have the weathered feel to them, they don’t get wrinkled as easily as typical linen sheets. They also look great." —Samantha P. 

    Get the set from Parachute for $189+ (available in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California King sets and in 12 colors). 

    7. A stained-glass window decal that's not only great for privacy, but for having constant rainbows and positive energy in your home. When the sun hits your window, the entire room will make you smile.

    a different reviewer image showing the rainbow effect on the wall

    Promising review: "My kitchen window is on the sidewalk near the community mailboxes. Lots of people walking by. I loathe mini blinds, which collect dust and grease. Especially since the stove is next to the window. Curtains are better, but still collect cooking smells and grease particles. I installed this in about 10 minutes. It lets in light, but hides me from nosy people." —Gayle Smith

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (11 roll sizes available).

    8. A soothing sunrise alarm clock so waking up groggy isn't the norm anymore. With this, it'll feel calming and natural, like an at-home vacation, if you will. Having that every morning? I'll take it.

    A reviewer shows a closeup of the sun alarm clock
    another reviewer showing the clock on their bedside table

    Promising review: "OK guys. Here’s the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TL;DR: This is an amazing little product, and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago, and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 Has changed my life and I’ve only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting while I’m journaling, reading, watching TV, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It’s 100% worth it." —KatieM

    Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in white and wood finishes).

    9. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stove tops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls.

    Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard-water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    10. A door draft stopper to keep your home the cozy safe haven that it is. When you have the space heater going while bundled up in a blanket, the last thing you need to worry about is a cold breeze.

    reviewer pic of white door with barely noticeable door draft stopper at the bottom
    reviewer's close up of white door draft stopper on the bottom of the door

    PS. it's soundproof too!

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." —Brit Suavé

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).

    11. A set of water-absorbent coaters that are just as cute as they are useful. These terrazzo-style coasters are fast acting when it comes to liquid cleanup, and they even have a cork bottom so there is no unwanted movement.

    Promising review: "Bought these because my old coasters left puddles of water from the condensation on drinks. These really work and absorb everything! Very pleased. And they are so cute and look good on both wood and white marble countertops! Love that there are two slightly different designs in a pack." —Liza P

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 14 more designs/styles).

    12. A slender storage cabinet so you'll actually have a *cute* place to store extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and fill that weird space between the toilet and the wall.

    Promising review: "So easy to put together, I could put it together with my eyes closed. It fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet, and it has created so much more space, and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." —COS45B

    Get it from Amazon for $35.86 (available in three styles and two colors).

    13. A Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction, which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!), and the cooling effect will help you sleep soundly.

    P.S. these covers fit standard size pillows!

    Kitsch is a woman-founded company that specializes in hair accessories and tools to make every day a good hair day! 

    Promising reviews: "Way better than I expected! I was super skeptical that this would help. I only wash my hair twice a week and typically have to straighten or curl it every week. This helped a ton! I don't have to curl or straighten it nearly as much. It's helped with frizz too. I've washed them several times and they feel durable." —Molly G.

    "I love my pillow case!...It's super soft and leaves your hair feeling silky when you wake up. It is durable and lasts through the washing machine (and dryer, I know). I will definitely be using these as gifts for friends and family." —Kimmie

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in three sizes and 11 colors/patterns).

    14. And Brooklinen's award-winning hypoallergenic down alternative pillow made with an allergy-friendly mircofiber fill and a 100% cotton sateen shell that's silky soft to the touch. The overall feel feels like a normal down pillow, but it won't trigger any coughing, congestion, or tightness.

    Brooklinen

    This pillow is also vegan and eco-consciously made.

    Promising review: "I bought these to replace down pillows that were getting old. I also discovered that the down pillows have been a source of my allergies. Not only are the down alternatives extremely comfortable but they’ve helped mitigate the allergy issue. Thanks Brooklinen!" —English P.

    Get it from Brooklinen for $58.50+ (originally $65; available in three sizes and in packs of one, two, or four).

    15. A Vitruvi stone diffuser that will have your home smelling like lavender, citrus, or whatever your relaxing scent of choice may be. This diffuser can run continuously for up to four hours, and has an auto-shutoff feature perfect for when you forget about it (unlike candles).

    Vitruvi

    Don't forget your essential oils! Here's a top-rated pack of six for only $9.99.

    Promising reviews: "This diffuser is so pretty, and I just love the dim light around the diffuser. I felt it was a little pricey, but it’s made from ceramic and not plastic so well worth it." —Kathy B.

    "Best purchase, zero regrets! Love this thing! I purchased the blush diffuser and the Refresh kit. All of the scents were outstanding, and the diffuser itself emits a great stream of vapor and quickly fills my room. ... I want one in every color now lol. It fits any style/home decor. Treat yourself! You won’t regret it!" —Danielle W.

    Get it straight from Vitruvi for $79.95+ (originally $123; available in nine colors) or from Amazon for $119.90+ (available in eight colors).

    PS: If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, ViviTest has a similar diffuser for $34.99.

    16. An ~app-controlled~ touchscreen air fryer for make quick and delicious meals! With the help of five cooking presets, this Cosori air fryer can help even the worst of cooks make something great. Reviewers rave about making everything from french fries to whole steaks (and some yummy reheated meals in between).

    Promising review: "I'm obsessed with it. This Cosori airfryer is incredibly easy to operate and clean. The design is sleek and appealing (I leave it out on my counter). And the results have greatly exceeded my expectations. I'm hooked and I think for the foreseeable future I will be using this almost every day. Here's just a few examples of what I've made so far:- Brussels sprouts: the results of cooking these at home in a normal gas oven have always sucked. While not quite restaurant quality (restaurants use oil fryers) the Cosori comes incredibly close and shaves about 10 min of cooking time.
    - Reheating french fries: This alone was worth the purchase. They were crispy and just as delicious from the night before.
    - Reheating steak that I cooked to a rare temp the night before on the pan: no complaints and super easy to clean afterwards.
    - Bacon: Way faster, way cleaner (and can easily save the bacon fat) and turned out perfect.
    I'm so excited to experiment more with this awesome machine. 5/5" —Nolan S.

    Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors).

    17. And reusable air fryer liners to make cleanup a breeze. Because these babies are made of silicone, you'll get years of use!

    Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier clean up is with these silicone mats. I’ve used them several times in my air fryer and they solved the problem of food sticking and made clean up afterwards a breeze. I still spray them with olive oil with whatever food I’m cooking and wash with soapy water when done. I liked them better than the aluminum foil I was using due to holes in them that allow air to circulate and to non stick. The silicone has no odor that I could detect. Quality material. Food gets browned and crispy. They fit perfectly in my Cosori air fryer." —Diane Lareau 

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes, including two round options).

    18. A set of food storage containers with airtight lids that are dishwasher safe and pleasing to the eye. You really can have it all. 😌

    Promising review: "I ordered a few different sets from this company and all seem really airtight so far. I like how they stack and am loving the label options. My pantry is looking really organized. Yay!" —Jackie

    Get them from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).

    19. A stylish wireless charging stone you won't mind laying around the house. It's compatible with iPhones, Galaxy phones, AirPods, and more.

    Promising review: "Love the quality. It is actually better than expected. I have marble bedside tables and it blends beautifully." —Joyce2022

    Get it from Target for $49.99 (originally $69.99; available in four colors).

    20. A Samsung frame smart TV to hide that solid black screen that kinda ruins your living room ~vibe~. When turned off, this TV disguises itself as a gorgeous piece of art hanging on the wall.

    Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but I am so enamored with this TV, I had to... This TV checks all the boxes. Beautiful picture when viewing TV, but disguised so ingeniously, when not. A large selection of artwork is available to fit any decor. It’s just incredible!" —FLgirl

    Get it from Amazon for $447.95+ (available in seven sizes, four styles, and with or without expert installation).

    21. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer since chopping by hand takes waaay too much time. With this kitchen gadget, you can quickly and easily chop up multiple fruits, veggies, and even ice in a flash.

    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).

    22. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner, the best-selling portable carpet and upholstery cleaning machine that's *super* convenient and very easy to use! It works for dirt, pet stains, baby stains, and because it's cordless, you can use it to clean your car, too.

    Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. With having a cat and dog with an almost white couch, this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." —Amazon Customer

    "This little guy has been working pretty well for me so far. Raising my puppy from eight weeks, I've had my share of things to try and get out of the carpet, from pee stains to puke to things he would knock over, to the mud he would track in. This would get most of it out if I used it right away. ... That being said, I am happy with the way it takes out most stains and has not failed me yet." —Cece

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59.

    BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $11.98!

    23. A vertical shoe rack perfect for entryways and small spaces. Your shoes do not have to take over the floor space!

    Promising review: "This is great! Fits vertically in my small entryway, just what I was looking for. If you want a modern stylish clean-looking shoe rack with a small footprint, this is the perfect selection! It’s lightweight, so of course it’s not the sturdiest piece of furniture, but for storing five pairs of shoes, it’s great! It fits men's size 10 shoes perfectly." —Aaron Staley

    Get it from Amazon for $61 (available in two colors and widths).

    24. A slim cutlery organizer that takes up very little space in your drawer, but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. The possibilities with the extra space are endless.

    a reviewer shows three organizers in their drawer

    Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

    Get it on Amazon for $10.19 (available in three finishes, including bamboo!).

    PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $10.99 too.

    25. A sock and underwear organizer so awesome, you might just open the drawer and stare for fun. This set of four is guaranteed to maximize space in your dresser too.

    Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $14.27 (available in seven colors).

    26. A set of Wad-Free pads (that was featured on Shark Tank!) to prevent your sheets from tangling in the wash, catching other clothes, and not actually drying. These will save you from having to run the dryer twice.

    Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.

    Promising review: "Honestly, I had my doubts! But BuzzFeed kept showing me this product. And washing and drying sheets was an annoyance: The sheets would take over the washing machine and get tangled in the dryer, causing EVERYTHING in that load to take forever to dry. No longer. I used these for the first time yesterday and ZERO tangles. The load dried in normal time. AND I get to support a woman-owned business?!?! Perfect." —Michelle Williams

    Get a [ack of two from Amazon for $19.99+.

    27. A towel holder that'll make your bathroom at home feel like one at a hotel. You can mount it on the wall or even behind the door if you want it out of the way.

    Get it from Amazon for $22.49 (available in six colors).

    28. knit weighted blanket to make life easier in the sense of better sleep and being a calming hug when you need. Because it's knit and has open spaces, this blanket will keep you relaxed without making you too hot. When not in use, it's the perfect throw for your couch or bed.

    Another reviewer laying with the pink blanket

    Promising review: "Excellent weight, I'm normally a very hot sleeper and for once I can sleep with a cover on. This feel almost chilled coming out of the packaging and after washing still stays that way all through the night. The knit pattern allows plenty of airflow so I can feel my ceiling fan even while covering up. My wife loves it and has me considering getting a smaller size as well for our living room." —Adrian A.

    Get them from Amazon for $109.99+ (available in eight sizes/weights and 29 colors).

    29. An affordable bidet from Tushy that will make your bum feel like royalty. You can adjust the water temperature for your preferred clean, and reduce toilet paper use along the way.

    Promising review: "I can't imagine not having this now. I just feel so much fresher after using it. It looks nice and is well worth the money. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone." —Sharon L

    "Tushy is the best for helping persons with disabilities like back fusions. Tushy helps the inside buns to feel cleaner; thus no smelly as(k)." —KayT

    Get it from Tushy for $99 (originally $129; available in five colors with five knob variations) or from Amazon for $109+ (available in five colors).

    30. A cold brew pitcher if you're strictly an iced coffee fan. All you need to do is put grounds into the filter, add some water, and let it sit overnight. The next day you'll have some yummy cold brew!

    Promising review: "This cold brew coffee maker is AMAZING and makes some of the best cold brew I’ve ever had. It’s the perfect size and is sooo easy to make and clean. Couldn’t recommend more!!!" —Scott Powers

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes).

    31. An ergonomic kitchen mat that kinda looks like a Moroccan-style rug, but is made with thick, durable, and easy-to-clean material. It's even ergonomically engineered to ensure comfortable, steady footing.

    Promising review: "It took me forever to find a good mat, and I’m so happy I found this one! The color and pattern are nice. It’s comfy to stand on while I’m prepping and cooking; it’s definitely reduced my fatigue and knee pain by a ton. Firm but cushiony. ... It’s really easy to clean, and looks great still after a few months of use! We have a very active kitchen, and it’s been through a lot so far, and survived unscathed, so I’m looking forward to a long life from it. I’ll probably buy a longer one to go on the other side of the kitchen!" —Cora Baker

    Get it from Amazon for $61.13+ (available in five sizes and 16 colors/patterns).

    32. A smart button pusher because who doesn't want to voice control their light switch, garage doors, or AC these days? (It even works on manual coffee makers — ah!) This cool gadget works through the SwitchBot app and is also compatible with Alexa, Google Home, HomePod, and more.

    Promising review: "This is literally exactly what I was looking for, but better! I wanted something that would automatically press the button to unlock the downstairs door from my phone (so that I wouldn't have to sprint like a madman to the other end of the house to hit it), and this does the trick exactly. Not only can I buzz open the downstairs door from inside, but ALSO from outside, eliminating the need to mess with keys. This device is genius. Pure genius." —Ryan

    Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in black and white).

    33. A small sound machine that'll play sounds so soothing, you can't help but doze off into a good night's sleep. Featured sounds include ocean waves, rain, bonfires, and simple white noise (among 16 others) with 32 volume levels.

    This device is portable and has continuous play, memory function, non-looping sounds, and a one-to-five-hour timer setting.

    Promising review: "This tiny machine is loud enough to drown out annoying neighbors throwing loud parties somewhere; it drowns out my sister's dog's unnecessarily loud barking, and I’m at peace. I’m now deeply attached to this product as I’ve always had chronic sleep problems and have sensory issues. My sleep environment is so chill now; I can actually tell a difference in my sleep quality 'cause I go into a deep sleep and wake up like an ancient god that slept a thousand years. Best investment ever. Also cool sounds too." —Paloma

    Get it from Amazon for $17.59.

    34. A pack of light-dimming LED covers for those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye.

    Promising review: "I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured what the heck. They came quickly, and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." —Kindle Customer

    Promising review: "This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell, but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time, and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher, and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." —khrystyne torres

    Promising review: "The product was easy to install on a 32" TV. The LED strip consists of attachment ends that allow you to decide how much (or how little) you need. The placement is a little uneven because of my TV wall mount hardware, but THIS IS A GREAT PURCHASE. This adds to the ambiance of my room as well as enhancing movies and shows.

After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left.

    Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

    Promising reviews: "I eat a primarily vegan diet, so I chop lots of vegetables! This knife has been great and has significantly reduced my food prep time because I can chop vegetables faster. With my other knives, I would sharpen them after every use but still they would be dull (just cheap knives), so it's so nice to have a quality chef's knife!"Tara

    "I've used the same knife for over five years. It's lightweight but substantial enough to offer good control, the grip is shaped and textured comfortably, and it holds an edge well and can be resharpened as needed. It's much better than most random cheap chef's knives from a big-box retailer or a knife block set." —Midbest

    47. A smart power strip you can control right from your phone to limit energy consumption and save some $$ on your electricity bill.

    Promising reviews: "With this, you're able to see total, daily, and monthly energy usage, and I schedule things to turn off during the night and when we're not usually home/in that room much. A simple voice command still turns it on if it is needed during the scheduled off times. Hopefully this will lower our electric bill over time." —StephSchiff

    "I use this for my bearded dragons! I love being able to schedule when their light will turn on and off. I can even turn them on or off individually, which is what I do when I clean their houses at night... The app works great and is easy to use, and no issues with disconnecting." —cc

Also, if you purchase the tapes in the Eco-Friendly packaging, you'll save money! I am very satisfied with my purchase!" —Wells Family

    "I'm sort of a type A, so I like to keep all my things labeled. Especially all the different batteries and chargers that seem to come with everything we buy. I love being able to mark what everything is. It saves me from having to use a Sharpie on stuff, as my handwriting is awful. For $35, how can you possibly go wrong?" —Drew211

    50. A stylish, app-controlled automatic pet feeder that isn't a gigantic, corner-stealing eyesore. It allows you to schedule your pet's meals for up to 10 meals and 20 portions a day — which basically is just peace of mind that your pet is covered even when you're not home.

    Promising reviews: "10/10⭐️ This feeder is primarily used for his lunchtime feedings/when I’m not home in time to provide him his wet food. Really easy to setup and I love that I can control the portion size and designate a specific time to feed him in replacement of me asking a friend to feed him on days I’m unable to! The kibble placed inside is Ziwi Peak Air dried food so I was slightly skeptical about whether or not it would clog since they’re in the shape of a square but NO clogging AT ALL!" —Stephanie

    "This feeder not only fixed my cats tendency to destroy my house as a means of getting fed, but now I don’t have to pay someone to stay with them when I go away for the weekend. 100% worth it. It looks cute and I can control it with my phone." —Sarah mayers

    Promising review: "So I write this review to put all the bad ones to shame. This is the best vacuum I have ever used. If you are contemplating to get this vacuum, I highly recommend it. I’ll never go back to anything else. It’s built well, has great suction. It picked up a lot of my two dogs' hair (one big dog, one small dog), and also mind that two days ago I had my carpet professionally cleaned — now I’m questioning if they even did a really good job. The vacuum picked up a lot from my carpet, and I only vacuumed for a couple minutes. The only 'possible' negative I have is I wish it had a longer charge; however, I know what I signed up for by buying this one and not one that claims it lasts longer. All in all, I 100% recommend this product." —Chelsee Brooks

    Get it from Amazon for $486.99

I have grommet blackout heavy curtains on an extendable rod...I have them automated to open and close at specific times setup through Alexa and they do so without fail. They are not very loud at all...If you can afford it, love smart home devices then these are for you!" —SPD

    53. A couch arm tray table that'll make chilling a lot easier. It can fit most flat arm rests and has a back side made of soft, non-slipping fabric to keep everything in place. (That phone rest is pretty cool, too, right?)

    Promising reviews: "This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell, unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, more fresh. We started with one and bought two more!" —M. Otto

    "I originally bought this product because of my family's pet allergies. The purifier is compact and extremely quiet (compared with my previous experiences with other purifiers). So far, so good! No one in my home has any pet allergic reactions, and it really helps the smell. This device really helps regulate the air, and I basically use this 24/7. The night-light comes in handy, and my pup sleeps next to the purifier 75% of the time. I really recommend this product to anyone with allergies, pets, or stuffy houses." —Lien Nguyen

    Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

    The SodaStream also comes with a 60-liter Co2 cylinder and a one-liter BPA-free reusable carbonating bottle! Reviewers suggest also buying two CO2 cartridges and trying various natural fruit flavors to spice things up!

    Promising review: "We drink a lot of seltzer water so this has basically already paid off itself. It’s super easy to use and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. It also doesn’t plug in so it doesn’t need to be placed near an outlet which is really convenient." —Maggie

    57. A pack of hair-catching cactus-shaped dryer balls to help your laundry dry faster and with less wrinkles. The silicone material makes them reusable too!

    Promising reviews: "I have a small Sears portable dryer. Maybe half size of a regular one. Any heavy load does not dry completely. ESPECIALLY SHEETS. Put these little guys in, and they lift and separate the batch while it is drying, and everything comes out dry and fluffy. Well worth the money." —Amazon Customer

    "Wool makes me itchy so was looking for plastic or silicone dryer balls. They look cute and work well. Can still hear them in the dryer but quiet overall compared to the plastic ones. Got a light color as I was nervous about color bleeding if it was poor quality material, but this seems to be similar to the cooking-/baking-grade silicone items I have. Totally recommend!!" —Nessa Urban

    58. pet hair removal tool that's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new. It's a must-have for pet parents whose fur babies shed *a lot*.

    Promising review: "I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander, so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn’t hypoallergenic, as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check, because from the moment she came home, we were in love. Then enter the ChomChom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint-brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right — and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and fro, like your life depended on it — the ChomChom never fails. Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    59. A Bissell SpinWave Pet Robot with an interchangeable mop AND vacuum. This baby is powerful enough to vacuum the pet hair on the living room carpet and then mop up the spilled soda in the kitchen.

    Promising review: "What can I say!!?!? It was delivered today, and I couldn’t help but give it a spin after charging it up and connecting to the app. I have a 'robot mop' from another brand but all it does is release water slowly and drag a microfiber pad over the floor. The spinning pads in the back are what sold me on the SpinWave. It vacuums the floor as it mops. It’s extremely quiet so I can run it while my kids are sleeping. When it’s in the wet-mop mode, it avoids my area rugs and random toys left on the floor. I’ve searched for something like this for a while and couldn’t be happier with my purchase." —Wertz81
