I’m very happy with my purchase!" —Beachbaby77

My daughter's room isn’t very big at all and a normal storage shelf would’ve taken up valuable space and I was so worried about that until I found this! One side has extra deep storage cubbies and they’re perfect for storing things out of the way but still easily accessible! So easy to put together! So far it’s doing amazing and has withheld toddlers beating on it and countless toys thrown its way." —Lexi

    Promising review: "I bought this for my bedroom, which also houses two bunnies. Hay and their litter box bedding can be extremely dusty. I would notice a light layer of dust almost every morning and would wake up feeling congested. I already notice less dust laying around and I wake up feeling like I can breathe. I run it on low for a few hours in the morning and evening (when I clean their litter boxes) and on sleep mode all night. Best purchase I made this year so far." —Courtney

    Price: $89.99

    Promising review: "I live in a small studio without a kitchen but with a toaster oven, which I used pretty often, but I was never happy with it. When I decided to get an air fryer, I knew I had to get one that also worked as a toaster oven because I don't have room for two appliances. Not only does the fryer make the best crispy 'fried' tofu imaginable, but the oven works so much better than the one I had. It used to take me 55 minutes to cook brussel sprouts. Now, just about 30. And I always seem to be able to achieve the right balance in whatever I cook between getting the inside soft and the outside crispy. I've also baked cakes in here and grilled zucchini to perfection. So happy I made this purchase!" —Z bee

    Price: $229.99

    22. A set of Command broom and mop grippers to give your cleaning supplies somewhere to live that isn't the floor or the corner of your closet. Some reviewers even use them to hang up curtain rods!

    "If you live in an apartment and don’t want to drill holes into the wall to hang curtains, this is the product for you. They hold a curtain rod very well. I put one on each side and it seems to be holding up well. My curtains do have a little weight to them too. They’ve been up for a few weeks now with no signs of falling down!" —Laura Ann

    Price: $18.89

    23. A party-ready 5-section melamine serving platter that'll be a total game changer when you have guests over. This dishwasher-safe platter will keep snacks looking neat and organized anywhere you put it!

    Promising review: "I was nervous because I’ve used fabric steamers in the past that haven’t worked well. This thing is a DREAM! I am kicking myself for not buying one sooner. I’ve had wrinkled curtains in my home for years that could have been resolved with a good 10–15 steam with this thing the whole time. It seriously works! I’ve used it for fabric shower curtains, velvet curtains, suit jackets, and suit pants. Buy it!" —ChantelleC

It has allowed me to move many things on my own that I would have had to pay someone to assist me without it." —Cheryl W

    Price: $69.99

    Promising review: "I was skeptical if this would work well because of the price, but let me tell you, this heater is AMAZING! I bought it for my bedroom that gets colder than anywhere else in the house and it gets it nice and toasty. So much so that I eventually have to cut it off if I get too warm! It heats up the whole room very nicely. So grateful for it!" —Jewel
