    Reviewers Tried These 30 Products First So You Wouldn’t Have To Be The Guinea Pig

    These are bona fide hits: Other customers took the risk so you don't have to.

    1. A dry shampoo powder offering a welcome refresh to hair that's almost ready to be washed. Almost.

    2. A charging pad that provides juice for your phone as soon as you put it down. It's a big win for anyone whose phone's charging port has gotten a little wonky with age.

    3. An avocado slicing tool made to pit and cut your precious fruit because listen, I've seen an avocado knife accident, and there was an unsettling amount of blood.

    4. A handheld electric milk frother that'll make your morning coffee feel like a special treat — no trip to the expensive café needed.

    5. A bottle of wildly popular Feed-N-Wax to bring the shine back to your wood floors, doors, and furniture. On top of polishing, it'll also condition the wood and help keep it from drying and fading.

    6. An electric bubble massage mat that'll transform your tub into a luxurious jetted Jacuzzi. It even has a built-in heater and aroma clip so you can pretend you're at the spa and it's someone else's kid making a ruckus outside the bathroom.

    7. A roll of marble contact paper to give your home an instant dash of glamor. Reviewers like to use it on previously drab kitchen tables, bathroom counters, and Ikea furniture.

    8. A veggie chopper that obliterates produce with a mere pull instead of endless dicing.

    9. A Cat Dancer toy you can waggle in front of your feline whenever you wanna give them a proper workout.

    10. A silverware sorter that fits a full 48-piece cutlery set but takes up just half the amount of space an average organizer might. This leaves plenty of room for your wide array of mason jar tops and forgotten metal straws.

    11. A pack of touch-up razors designed to help you quickly clean up eyebrows and peach fuzz.

    12. A flexible, lightweight hose that'll be so much easier to work with than wrangling a traditional hose. Why are those things so darn heavy?

    Promising review: "I was tired of fighting with our old, heavy 50 foot rubber hose and found I just avoided using it. So far, this one seems to be perfect for my needs: easy to move around, lightweight, and easy to store." —Kahni H.

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors).

    13. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure.

    This oil has jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E to help promote strong nails and soften cuticles.

    Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4 ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

    Get it from Amazon for $9.41.

    14. A Diamond Dazzle Stik because you can only keep using the phrase "shine bright like a diamond" if your diamonds are actually shining.

    Promising review: "I was a little worried about this product when I bought it. I did not think this would clean my ring well. If you're debating this product, I 100% recommend it. It cleaned my ring so well. I was shocked. I felt it even cleaned better than the jewelers. I love how it’s so easy to travel with and just spot-clean your jewelry whenever you want to." —Emily Warren

    Get it from Amazon for $9.48.

    15. Two pairs of baby feet masks for getting the peeling snake feet of your dreams. JK! After the peeling stops, you get nice, soft tootsies.

    Just pop on the booties for an hour, wash your feet, and marvel as your feet start shedding layers of dead skin.

    Promising review: "My feet have never felt softer! I do recommend wearing socks often, otherwise your couch and blankets will be covered in sloughed off skin! No pain or discomfort. I love it!" —Nicole C

    Get two pairs from Amazon for $15.95.

    16. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be.

    The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($31.83 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.

    Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and stiffness levels).

    17. A jar of O'Keeffe's hand cream you'll want to marinate your dry paws in all season.

    Promising review: "Great product! I must say that I was skeptical about its effect after trying so many products, and I must say that it works wonderfully. My hands were in a terrible condition, really dry and full of cracks, and now they are much more pleasant and moist and all the cracks are gone!" —Eliran tajer

    Get a 3.4-ounce jar from Amazon for $6.98.

    18. A pack of Affresh tablets that'll make sure the thing making your dishes clean is also clean.

    Read our review of Affresh cleaning tablets!

    Promising review: "This stuff works really well. I work in appliance repair and highly recommend. If you are having a lot of residue in your dishwasher, the most important thing is to make sure your water is hot enough! At least 120 degrees F. Use two tablets for heavy build up, no detergent, and empty and this should make a huge difference. If you use hot water and use this or Glisten regularly, your dishwasher will perform better and last longer. Great for removing soap and hard water residue." —No One

    19. A wildly popular hair serum packed with vitamin E, aloe vera, and argan oil to ensure your mane stays silky soft and frizz-free, no matter how humid it gets (Florida bbs, this one is for you).

    Promising review: "I found this product through a BuzzFeed article for those with frizzy hair, and THIS PRODUCT DID NOT DISAPPOINT, PEOPLE! I put this serum through the ringer; I got this to stand up to Bay Area fog AND the nasty, humid heat wave we got a couple weeks ago. No frizz, no extra curls. Nothing! On top of that, it made my hair super glossy. I'm very impressed. Heads-up, though, a little goes a long way. One pump is enough to cover my hair, and I have medium-length hair. Also, it can make your hair look oily if you use too much. I do have oily hair, so working on my ends first, then working to my roots works for me." —Jazmine Carbajal

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    20. A snout soother that'll help moisturize your dog's crusty nose. You hate chapped lips, so your dog definitely hates having a chapped nose.

    before: dog with chapped nose after: dog with hydrated nose
    before: dog with yellow crusty nose after: no more crusties

    Promising review: "Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended Snout Soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Honestly this product is some black magic stuff! Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." —Brittany

    21. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically anything. Scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see.

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    22. Cruelty-free lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers.

    Promising review: "Love this mascara! I’ve used the 'best of the best' designer, super hyped, ultra-popular mascara available, and NOTHING compares to this stuff! I don’t even bother using a lash curler anymore! I buy two at a time, so I always have a spare (yes, it’s that good!!). I highly recommend this particular mascara...it goes on effortlessly and lasts pretty much all day, and the price — I feel like I’m almost stealing it! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!" —Chulaboola & MCD

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    23. A leather cleaner you can count on to help bring life back to your old furniture. Welcome back, old friends!

    Just mix this concentrate with water, put it in a spray bottle, spray, and wipe off.

    Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55

    Get it from Amazon for $18.11.

    24. Garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining.

    Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness free.

    Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

    25. An electric power washer so you can harness the power of high-pressure water to totally annihilate caked-on dirt and grime.

    26. A collagen-coating hair treatment to revive tired, dry hair and turn it into the glossy locks you've always wanted.

    Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

    27. A pet hair sweeper that does the impossible and actually gets fur off all your furniture and carpets.

    Promising review: "Holy cow, this is magic. I have a 230-pound Mastiff. I have purchased any and everything claiming to get dog hair off the car carpet. I have used at least three different vacuums and attachments. Lately, I have been using a microfiber towel because it has some grip. Then, this piece of magic arrived. It gets every single hair, no matter how embedded. There were hairs I had a hard time removing with my fingers. The Fur-Zoff pulled them right out. This has cut my hair removal time in half! Thank you for this savior of a tool." —David R.

    28. A broom designed to dredge up hair from the depths of your carpet. In less than five minutes, you'll have a clean rug and a huge hair ball to show off.

    Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT, GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —Janielle

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

    29. A cooktop-cleaning kit bringing shines back to thousands of electric stovetops. It comes with a cleaning solution, cleaning pad, *and* scraper tool to fight tough stains and caked-on gunk.

    Promising review: "Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years — only wiped down with random multi-cleaners that never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product...AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said, it will leave your cooktop shiny and new. Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off...98% better. The key is to use very little product; let dry to a haze; and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel (just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish, it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B. Swartwood

    30. A beloved O-Cedar mop and bucket set that'll make mopping way faster and easier, thanks to the hands-free wringing system. The mop head's unique shape makes it easy to get into corners, making it a favorite amongst neat freaks and professional cleaners.

    All you have to do is press the pedal down with your foot, and it'll spin away excess water.

    Promising review: "This mop is fantastic!!! I clean for a living and use professional equipment provided to me... I use THIS mop at home, and I like it even better! Easy to use, great on my vinyl plank flooring, and works great getting into small areas, like around the toilet. I normally use a steam mop or a microfiber mop head on a push mop, and I think this mop does a much better job. Very happy with this purchase...would definitely recommend!" —Kellj23
