I love my Instant Pot. It makes the BEST, fluffiest rice in only 16 minutes, which is still very impressive to me after using it for three years. It just might be the most practical kitchen appliance I own. While I love cooking, some days I don't have the time to be in the kitchen (or would rather just relax on my couch), and this Instant Pot saves the day — I still get comforting, home-cooked food, but in just a fraction of the time!
Promising review: "Ordered this for my daughter's birthday. In a short period of time, this product has MORE than paid for itself! She loves using it and LOVES the way it works. So does her family as they enjoy the flavor of the food. Daughter home schools her two children, has a 3-month-old and this product is a blessing for her. She can't rave about it enough. VERY happy and delivery was prompt!" —Dragoness1053

Promising review: "Use it every day. I use this handy gadget with the BPA free plastic bags every day to reseal bags of frozen fruit, oats that I buy in bulk to save, leftover pancakes, seeds saved to plant later and much more. It's very small and takes up no space on the counter. The bags can be washed and reused several times." —Janet

Promising review: "I LOVE this Revlon Volumizer Hairdryer / Hairbrush Styler. I will admit, when I first started to use this hairdryer, I thought to myself 'this is being returned to the store' because it felt awkward to hold. After a few minutes of using it, I began to get comfortable with the styler. I also noticed my hair became extremely smooth and shiny. I have naturally coarse curly frizzy red hair. My hair DOES NOT ever look smooth and shiny. I was sold on this purchase after 5 minutes of using the styler. I received four compliments on my hair from total strangers on the first day that I styled my hair with this product. I would suggest using some type of heat protectant styling product whenever you use a hot appliance on your hair. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for smooth shiny hair." —ALASKA99

Promising review: "This is a great portable charger! It's flat which makes it easier to handle and use. It works great and the built-in fold-down AC wall plug makes charging very convenient! I usually get at least seven charges out of this for my phone!" —Mike
Price: $19.88+ (available in two styles)
Promising review: "Oh my goodness, this works so well! I am amazed. It has that storage section and is FULL of my cat's hair with just very easy brushing of the soft surfaces in my home. I also use it as a lint roller on myself when I'm leaving the house, and it works perfectly!" —Jane

Promising review: "I live in a house just over 1,000 square feet. However it was built back in the '40s and has had additions added at different times. This caused my bedroom to be almost a dead zone. My internet speed should have been 100 but in my bedroom it was 10. This extender fixed the problem. My speed is now the same through my whole house. It was SUPER EASY to install and I suck at all things electronic! lol. Set up took five minutes." —1superaunt

P.S. You'll need two AA-batteries to get this little guy up and running!

Promising review: "I spend a lot of time on Zoom these days and my eyes were experiencing dryness and fatigue. These glasses helped me feel better about how I looked and the strain was greatly reduced. I had Lasik and really didn't want to wear glasses but in these I feel so cute and in style that most of the time I leave them on all day. At this price point I will probably buy several more to enjoy matching my outfits." —Doris

Promising review: "Great organizing tool. I had so much paperwork, art supplies, paper and odds and ends that this helped put things in their place. I love the fact you can see what's in the drawers for easy access and I can stack mail or my bills on the side so I can find them." —Elise

Promising review: "I like that you can set it on a one or three-hour timer. Also, it shuts off when it runs out of liquid which I think is safe. I use tea tree oil which smells fabulous! Great way to diffuse essential oils that help strengthen your immune system during this pandemic. I'm an essential worker so I keep it running in my cubicle to add an extra level of protection in addition to the social distancing. Also, love the changing lights. Makes the diffused air look beautiful in a dim setting." —Rebo

Promising review: "These pens write like a river flowing from the heart of heaven. Their flow is so smooth and so precise, that the angels watch in quiet reverence at the wonder of their beauty. There is not enough words in the human tongue to describe the magnitude of their gloriousness. That these pens should have come into the hands of a peasant such as I is a wonder I will never understand, and yet shall be eternally grateful for." —KGTTC

Promising review: "Very sturdy. At full height it doesn't sway or wiggle about. I keep two monitors with a laptop, wireless keyboard and miscellaneous office supplies on mine. Motor is very strong. I let two of my kids (150 pounds) get lifted right after assembly. Didn't phase the motor. Motor has an overheat protection response if the deck is raised and lowered too frequently in a short amount of time. 15 minute timeout prevents operation until motor cools." —theIrish

Promising review: "I hadn't thought about buying one as they seem expensive when I could just use a bunch of books but I eventually tried one and love the solidness and can even rest my hands on the laptop while typing. With all these Zoom calls, I can raise this to the right level for them. I also like the space underneath, which I did not have with the books/boxes I was using. I enjoyed it so much I bought another for a family member. Very high-quality product that is worth every penny." —Andrew

Promising review: "I love having the ability to walk around my house and answer texts or calls while my phone is charging or not on me. It is also extremely helpful with all of the services it provides, especially the fitness tracker. The watch came in perfect condition and paired easily with my iPhone. Only downside was having to wait a few extra days while it got lost in the shipping process but overall a great purchase." —Connor
Price: $229+ (available in two sizes and three colors)
Promising review: "I love this planner because its non dated so I can start it when I want and has detailed pages for budgets and blank months to fill in as you please. I love that it's on the thinner side so it can fit in your purse if you like. I would purchase again." —misstiki79

Promising review: "I recently joined a yoga class. While I have only been to one class so far, my new mat worked just as expected. I did notice that one of the other people in the class had the same mat that was a bit older and was happy to see that hers had held up to regular use. This mat is a rich purple on one side with pink on the other side and has a rope used to carry when rolled up. The texture is good for limiting slipping when trying to hold poses and the cushion is just right to be comfortable yet firm." —Julie
