Promising review: "I love how easy this was to install. The stencils that were included help you to mark where to drill the holes, which made this so much easier to make it level and at a good height. The capacity for mounting several tools is great! I was able to mount brooms, a Swiffer mop, a small electric vacuum, another mop, and still have a slot left to fill with something else. Plus, there are hooks available at the end of each slot for hanging things like dust rags, towels, etc. This product almost seems underpriced for all the things it offers, a real value. Get one now!" —Claire Auger

Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new houseplant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with this space bags. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan

Promising review: "No seriously, this is amazing. I have long hair and recently had a baby. It's a wonder I still have any hair based on the clumps I see falling out on a regular basis. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth it. Holy moly! When they say it catches every hair they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice a week. And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —Sasamo

Promising review: "After moving our furniture, I noticed a few scratches on the TV stand. I looked everywhere here in Hawaii for something moderately priced to match the stand to no avail. I found this product on Amazon and it exceeded my expectations! Not only was it a great price, but there were 12 different options to choose from so I was able to find something that matched the TV stand perfectly! This kit includes six wax crayon-looking sticks and six actual markers. The crayon things are for if you have a deep gash and the markers are for basic cover ups. Mine was just a cover up so I mixed two of the colors and I seriously can not tell where the scratch was now unless I get super close and feel the wood grain for the scratch mark." —nalokaloka

Promising review: "I have long hair. Due to a thyroid issue, I lose more strands than I used to. Every few days the hair starts to accumulate on the bathroom floor. This broom picks up all the hair from the tile just going over it once. It even gets the strands on the edges and corners. Unlike regular brooms, all the hair stays on the broom until I remove it instead of strands falling back to the floor. Thanks to a review I read before ordering this broom, I also use it on the carpet before vacuuming. I quickly pull it toward me, and it grabs all the hair from the carpet. It only takes a minute or two per room and I no longer have to remove the roller brush from the vacuum and cut all the hair wrapped around it every month." —Nicolor

Promising review: "We have a golden retriever and I've struggled keeping our bedding clean because she sheds bad and I don't have the heart to not let her sleep in our bed. The dog hair just gets tangled in the fabric and I'm constantly aware of it because it gets everywhere. I've tried lint rolling, but everything just rolls up in the roller and it's a nightmare. Vacuuming doesn't really work without a battle either. I would nearly be in tears and would waste so much time trying to get mediocre results from vacuuming and/or lint rolling. This is literally so much easier and quicker. The next picture of all the fuzz in my hand is from all the bedding, mind you this was one day after it was all washed and dried. Do yourself a favor, and buy this ASAP." —Kellynn

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING! My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all. But, then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were, and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let is sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

Promising review: "I have done bathroom caulking before with a flat head screwdriver and cleaning supplies and I remember it took forever. I told myself I’d never do this again. But, our new house needed the caulking done so I bought this tool and OMG! It was amazing and I only had to use this one tool. It made the project much faster and way easier. I would recommend it over and over again." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Finally someone thought of a genius solution to organizing cables without having to unplug all wires and fishing them through an organizer. I used this cord management system for my entertainment unit as well as my workstation. It's easy to use, just bunch everything together and zip the sleeve around it. It's that easy." —TypeCast2000

Promising review: "I purchased this cable box to hide a bunch of cords for a router, mini cell phone tower, etc. I shopped around a bit because I wanted something that looked nicer than just a plastic box. This was the best solution I found, I like the faux wood top of it, I actually wish the sides were the same design but again I do like the aesthetic of this box. It fits a ton of cords and wires. This was a fast and satisfying fix to my cord problem. I will be purchasing another one of these boxes for a different area of the house. It was worth the money for me as it looked better than the other cable boxes I could find and it really did solve the problem." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "If you're like me and living in a space that doesn't have a ton of room let alone for a big old ironing board, this is the perfect solution. This mat easily sticks with the magnets to the top of the dryer. It's a great space saving solution. If you're looking to minimize, this is what you want!" —JD

Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor, just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.) " —Michael E. Bradley

These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, WHEREVER. And! They'll clean up grease, oil, tar, dirt, ink, lipstick, nail polish, food, and a whole lot more.
Promising review: "These are awesome! The size of the container is large and so was the quantity I received. The wipes are huge and tough, great for scrubbing! I cleaned my whole house with these and they removed stains I haven't been able to get out for a while. I also tried them on my walls and they did not remove the paint. Also, they smell fantastic: no chemical smell whatsoever. These are a great deal on Amazon, and I will be purchasing them again!" —Suze

Promising review: "These work very well to dampen the sounds of my idiot roommates slamming cabinet doors at all hours of the day. Just make sure you're wiping down the part of the cabinet they'll stick to before applying them. The adhesive is good and should hold for a while." —LMA

Promising review: "Maybe not as great an idea as sliced bread, but pretty close. I use them for a variety of purposes. I use them as holders for kitchen tools and pots. One is attached to a hanging light over the food prep area and I can hang a one-page recipe on it while I prep. One holds a device to help me do a chore in the garage. They are incredibly strong and well-made." —KT

Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge. The light coverage was about what I expected from them and do the job well. The motion sensitivity covers all the side and lights turn on. It has rained about three times and still work great and hoping they last for a long time." —J. Argueta

Promising review: "I bought these outdoor solar lights as a replacement for another brand I had bought from Amazon. When I received these new lights I knew immediately that they were a quality product. The glass on these lights are gorgeous and have a good weight to them. Most importantly the light created by the bulbs are very bright and create a beautiful effect when it shines through the glass. I’m very happy with these premium glass solar powered lights and they’ve beautified the front of my home. Look no further for quality outdoor lights, you’ve found them!" —Alexhander

Promising review: "I saw a lot of good reviews and decided to go with it. I can honestly say it far surpassed my expectations. I’ve run it for almost 10 hours and all I drained was about three ounces of water. This unit cools my room so well I’m almost actually frozen LOL. I would definitely recommend this unit moving forward. And, to anyone on the fence about buying this unit, know that it’s very very good. It's so good, we actually just ordered a second!" —Victoria
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had standing water on the bottom of my dishwasher. I dropped one tablet in the water, put it on lite wash cycle, and at the end of the cycle the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to co-sign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper

Promising review: "Before I purchased, I read through so many of the reviews on these curtains. I had previously purchased similar curtains and was sorely disappointed when they didn't work, so I was a bit skeptical that these would be any different. But, I figured hundreds of five-star reviews couldn't be wrong — and they weren't. These do exactly as they say — block the light completely, and help to muffle sound. I live next to a busy highway and as soon as I put these up, it sounded like the highway was far in the distance. I track my sleep every night, and since I've had these curtains I've gone from a 60%–70% quality of sleep to 90%+ every single night. Highly recommend!" —Nichole

Promising review: "Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" —katy

Promising review: "I'm picky about the way my light looks. These bulbs are the best I've seen so far. The colors look exactly how they're supposed to look. and, they don't have that ugly yellow glow that a lot of other bulbs create. I love the natural light look it gives." —Adam

Promising review: "I bought these for our daughter's college dorm as it's the only product (and this specific brand) allowed by the university for hanging items from the walls/doors/furniture. If that doesn't say enough, then I don't know what else I can say to convince you that these are awesome! We chose a variety pack so she could hang various items of different sizes and weight. I have used these at home as well and will continue to buy them as needed in the future. Gotta love 3M for coming up with such amazing products that truly do what they're advertised to do!" —Multi-tasking Genius

Promising reviews: "When I first started working from home I was having trouble with the audio and video quality of my web meetings and even lost the connection to them at least twice a day. I decided to try this and in the two months I have had it I have had ZERO connectivity issues. I'm in a ranch-style home with the router in the basement and my office on the ground floor as far away from the router as I could be. It didn't seem like that should be far enough to make a difference since each floor is only 1,200 square feet. However, I plugged the unit into a socket in the hallway outside my office and it has made a fantastic difference in my office as well as on the TV in the bedroom across the hall. No stuttering on the TV, no issues during Zoom, Webex, or Microsoft Teams meetings. Absolutely worth every penny. And I am not being compensated in any way for this review." —Baker & Candy maker

Promising review: "When my vent cleaner arrived I was so excited to use it! It sucked up so much lint that my vacuum container was filled. I was shocked to see how much hidden lint was in my dryer. The lint wand came with a guide attachment, which is an added bonus, and makes it very easy to move around those small deep spaces. It was super easy to use. I highly recommend this item to everyone who owns a dryer. It fits on two different vacuums I own — a Shark and a Bissell. It's a lifesaver! I can't wait to use it again." —momofeli
