Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio. Naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing literally spray and leave." —Mark

This alarm clock mimics the light of a sunrise by gradually changing from dark red to bright yellow before the alarm goes off. There are seven different colors and 20 warm light levels, so you can start your early morning off on the right foot.
Promising review: "I love this little wake up light! I got it to help me in two ways: to help me calm my mind so I can fall asleep and to ease my waking up so that I stop hitting the snooze. I like the flexibility features. I can even tone down or turn off the lighted time numbers, a feature I didn't expect. Now I wake up gently with a light that gets gradually brighter. This thing did all it says it would do and, frankly, better than I expected." —Betty Boom

Promising review: "I bought this fan in 2017 and it's still going strong! This fan is powerful, has a great rotation, and hits you just right! I use this fan almost constantly in the spring and summer months. It always keeps me cool. I would buy several more copies of this fan if I could.

Promising review: "Recovering from a season full of illness and entering allergy season, Molekule has freshened my home and helped my family be more comfortable as flowers bloom.

Promising review: "Best thing I’ve ever purchased as an adult to help make life simpler. I can do just about the whole house on a full charge if I go quickly. And every time the canister fills up because it sucks so well. I think what I need more is new carpet. Goes from carpet to hardwood no problem. We even take it on trips in the trailer. A must-have for anyone that sweeps or vacuums every day. No more cord. No more big heavy bulky thing." —fm0143

Promising review: "I love gardening and have used a lot of different pruners over the years. I recommend these pruners for a number of reasons. First, they are easy to lock and unlock. I really like the slider mechanism versus others that have a latch-type lock. Second, the long, narrow blades are ideal for cutting the stems you want without injuring or accidentally cutting adjacent ones. This time of year I like to cut a few flowers from my yard daily and bring them inside to enjoy. A well-made and well-designed pruner makes this task even more enjoyable." —Liv

I'm a sucker for a speckled design. This serving platter made me feel like I need to upgrade the rest of my kitchen. It's so chic and I love the weight of it. I used it to serve my family fresh baked cookies but after they're eaten, I'll probably use it as a fruit tray, or even as the base for a floral display. Truly, the possibilities or endless. One thing is for sure, this baby shouldn't be kept in a box. It must be displayed.
Promising review: "I bought this platter as part of a full dining set, and I love all of it. It's the perfect size, cleans well in the dishwasher and looks beautiful. It was the perfect size for a charcuterie plate for a quarantine pod of two." —Lauren M.

Promising review: "I am trying to get things in my house organized. I picked these up and they are made very well. There are so many things I have that I want to put into storage like seasonal and household décor I don't want to get rid of now but will use down the road. You are still able to see through these which makes these great when your looking for something. I plan to use these on storage shelves in my basement, but they are really good to use just about anyplace you may have." —Amazon Customer

He gets two drinks out of each batch that he makes. It's easy to clean and can go in the dishwasher. It's durable — I know as I'm clumsy and have dropped it several times without an issue.

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

Sonder LA is a Los Angeles-based brand that believes that functionality and aesthetic should exist within each cutting board they make. They create cutting boards that aren't to be kept in a drawer or a cabinet, but that are beautiful enough to be displayed as part of your kitchen decor.
Promising review: "Here's the deal: cuttings boards are fine. You can use them to cut things on...wow. My wife bought me this for Christmas because I guess she thinks I'm into cutting boards? Turns out SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Actually, that's not true. I am not into cutting boards. I am into this magisterial masterpiece some people malign as a simple cutting board. It is not an understatement to say that this cutting board changed my life and has given me new purpose. Need to cut some veggies for a dank pot of chili? BOOM. Done. Easy. Want to impress your pretentious friends with a dope charcuterie presentation? BOOM. THIS. IS. YOUR. BOARD. Want to take your board for a jaunt around the block to share your freshly squeezed juice with your neighbors? BOOM. Inner handles! Super sexy inner handles that are perfect little cubby holes for your fingers, btw. Are you not a terrible person and therefore care about things like sustainability? The acacia wood is eco friendly af! Simply put, this board is the best of all possible things. I like it more than at least one of my children. Maybe two." —S. Steen

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

To use, just attach the Wad-free to the four corners of your sheets, and wash and dry them like normal!
BuzzFeed editor John Mihaly loves 'em. In his own words:
"I'm one of those people who actually likes doing their laundry (gross, right?) but I've also grown to really dislike dealing with my bedsheets and duvet cover. King-size sheets just don't get along with my washer/dryer; they're always bunching up and taking forever to dry. Bringing them to the laundromat became my only option, and a costly one at that in terms of both time and money.
Then one day an email popped into my inbox introducing me to Wad-Free for Bed Sheets, a detangling device that would do away with my very specific laundry woes. Equal parts excited and skeptical I was! But after my first test on both flat and fitted sheets as well as the duvet cover, I'm sold! My sheets were all evenly dried (in a reasonable amount of time) and didn't ball up causing wrinkles or the washer to start rocking all over the place.
As much I'm going to miss seeing that cute old dog who sleeps by the space-heater at the laundromat, I'm going to enjoy not having to leave my apartment or open my wallet every time I want clean sheets."

Promising review: "My wife and I get a kick out of this thing! We use it on our office/bedroom door because the door closes on its own and our dog likes to come in and out of the room while we’re in here. It works great. Easy to use and it’s funny to look at. Glad we got this instead of a boring triangle!" —Sara

Promising review: "My wife and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment here in New York City and while we can purchase a regular air-conditioner, installing it would be a hassle because we would have to hire a handyman. Some of them are just downright expensive without the BTU power to cool our apartment. This handy product has saved us a lot of money because not only is it powerful enough for our apartment, it's also portable with minimal installation (you only need to install the exhaust pipe that goes out of the window). I like that it's portable so we can transfer it from room to room if we want to without having to install additional air conditioner units in our apartment. Overall, we are very satisfied with this product and it will definitely come in handy during the humid NYC spring and summertime." —ap619

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
