Promising review: "Absolutely perfect for intended purpose in South FL environment. Had to replace bulb within first month but this thing runs like a champ now and is a permanent addition outside the back patio. Stop toiling over whether you need it, if you're reading this you probably have a flying pest problem and looking for a fix. This is it." —Scott K

Because it doesn't rely on adhesive paper, you only have to buy it once and can reuse it — cleaning the hair off the brush when it gets clogged, of course!
Promising reviews: "I have three cats and it is impossible to keep their hair off of our furniture. I used to vacuum our couch every. single. day. to keep it down and it did only okay as compared to this amazing device. After reading the outstanding reviews, I decided to give it a try. It is incredible. This is the most effective cleaning tool I have ever used for removing pet hair. I truly changed my cleaning habits by making it significantly easier to quickly roll over my furniture and instantly remove all pet hair. Don't even question this purchase if you're a pet owner. You need this item." —Michelle M.

It holds five toothbrushes and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube.
Promising review: "You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!" —Sarah C.

The full kit contains a 10-ounce bottle of the cooktop cleaning solution, one cleaning pad, a grip pad tool, and a scraper.
Promising review: "You need this. I swear. First off, this is magic. I knew I needed something to help me clean my cooktop because nothing I had was working. I stumbled across this on Amazon and figured it couldn't hurt to try. I’m SO glad I did. It took me multiple rounds of scraping and cleaning to get it to where you see in the before and after pictures but it WORKS. It’s sooooo easy to use. I will buy this forever!" —Sierra Leonard

The home projector includes multiple ports (HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, TF, and Audio output) for widespread device compatibility. It also has built-in speakers, but can easily be hooked up to other external speakers or a soundbar.
Promising review: "I read the reviews and was kinda indecisive, but I could not wait to set this up. The 100-inch portable screen came with the projector. Setup for screen and projector was easy peasy. The picture quality, the portability, the volume…I could go on and on. It actually feels like I am at my own in-home movie theater. I am so happy that I purchased this item. I hooked my Roku device straight into the projector. I don’t know if I want to watch my television again after this experience. There nothing like watching your favorite movie/ television shows on this level. I will provide an update if I have technical issues. But try this device! It is affordable, and the picture quality is great and I didn’t need to have an expensive surround sound system. Did I mentioned that you need this in your life…" —Notaname

Promising review: "You NEED this fan! This fan is an absolute must-have! It puts out a great amount of air, but is extremely quiet. It has nearly 180 degrees of coverage when oscillating. I love the remote and that it has so many settings, making it easy to customize for my husband and me. He's cold-blooded, and I'm warm-blooded. We use it in the kitchen because there's no ceiling fan. (Stupid apartments!) It's been a life-saver, especially for my husband, as I get extremely grouchy when hot.😁 I highly recommend this fan for any room of the house as there are so many settings." —Cindy

The entire set comes with a plastic hose, a Holikme adapter, and a vacuum hose for use with most any vacuum. Plus, a flexible lint brush!
Promising review: "As a former firefighter, I'm careful about dryer lint. I clean the screen after each load, and twice a year I use a long 'foxtail' brush both inside and outside at the vent. Well, I thought I was careful but this little tool showed me what I was missing. In less than five minutes this removed all the fine, soft 'fluff' that makes it through the screen. The real wake-up call was when the end clogged and I pulled off a chunk of the fluff that was melted together and smelled burnt. Get this. If you think you don't need it because you're already cleaning, you're wrong. Better to come to that realization now than after the fire. And if you don't think you need it because you're not a fan of cleaning-this flat hose slips under appliances and furniture so you can clean without moving them!" —JustMeTalking

The velour cover zips off for easy cleaning in the washing machine.
Promising review: "If you're working from home, you need this. I bought two of these, one for my WFH daughter and one for myself. Your butt will not go to sleep if you have one of these. You can sit all day and be comfortable. One caveat: Look online for how to position this. When I first got mine, I put it on the chair backward, and it wasn't so comfortable. I'm really glad I have it. Makes long workdays seem doable." —Karen K. Schloss

Promising review: "You need this. So handy. Quick to scrape, good design, sturdy, easy to use. You do have to wipe after each use." —J R Collins

Promising review: "If you are a woman, girl, or have either one in your life, you need to purchase this! It has been a dilemma for me for many years to find a way to keep hair from going into the tub drain. I've even tried an upside-down plastic container. Well, problem solved. Where have you been all my life? Gosh, I looked in stores and have never seen this product before. I searched Google years ago and didn't find anything either. Sure it doesn't trap 100% of the hair, because the silicone is soft and there is a very fine gap that one or two strain of the hair falls through, but heck, I'll take that." —Lucy

The purifier filters allergens, mold, pet dander, dust, smoke, and cooking odors, and covers up to 219 square feet. Plus, there are specialized replacement filters you can get to further tackle specific needs like pet dander and air pollutants.
Promising review: "These purifiers seem to work great. Noticed a huge difference in the air quality only an hour after first plugging it in. I am actually using it in a bigger room than the manufacturer recommends, but it still does a great job cleaning the air; it just takes a bit longer to do a complete air change. My mom bought one for her living room after seeing it's in action. If you are an allergy suffer you need this ASAP. I could see lots of dust floating around in a sunbeam before getting this. Now, there is nothing. Highly recommended." —J. Allen

This teeny-tiny knife sharpener features two slots with carbide blades on one side to provide quick edge setting capabilities, and ceramic rods on the other for the final edge honing. Plus, there is a nonslip base for added stability and control.
Promising review: "Great little sharpener! Do you like not cutting yourself? Do you like not having to take your knives in the get sharpened? Then you need this in your life. It takes up almost no counter space, and sharpens really well. I was skeptical about it because of the size and the price, but I had friends over the other day, and one went to cut a lime and marveled at how sharp the knife was (I had just sharpened it the night before). Put this little guy right in front of your knife block and be done with it." —Amanda Marie

Promising review: "This product is amazing. You need this in your kitchen. It delivers the perfect amount of soap every time and gets your dishes squeaky clean. But wait, there’s more! When your sponge is done with a hard day of washing dishes, you can feel comfortable laying it down in a bed that prevents soap scum around your sink. In the words of Nat, 'Buy this product champions.'" —Christian

Promising review: "You might not think you need this, but you do. A toothbrush is handy but these have stronger bristles and the rubbery tip on the end is handy for those corners that you can't get the bristles to connect with, like baseboard corners near door frames." —Maggie

Promising review: "I had actually seen/used them in Europe, but forgot all about them until I saw them on Amazon. They are easy to clean — I throw them in the dishwasher or clothes washer almost daily. They save me from using so many paper towels and, in most cases do a better job than paper towels. I also keep one upstairs in the bathroom to clean up water splashes in the sink there. These are a really good idea. You don't realize it, but you need them in your life :)" —Frequentfliermom

Promising review: "If you need space, you need these. We bought these to store our decorative couch pillows we weren’t using. Three giant pillows fit in the XL size and all nine pillows are now stacked in three of the bags under our bed. We also put all our winter clothes in one bag. This created SO much more space in our storage closet! It’s such quality material as well. Buy then, you won’t be disappointed!" —KRC13

Promising review: "If you have pets, you need this. This sucker is magic. I bought mine three years ago and it still works. I use it to scrape up the dog hair that gets embedded in my living room rug. (We have two basset hounds that are constantly shedding.) The vacuum gets a lot of it, but even after I run the vacuum I can drag this broom over the rug and drag up entire piles of dirt and fur that were missed. It's also great on my kitchen tile. We have a dog door in our kitchen, so our two bassets are always dragging in dirt and making messes. This works better than a broom because it works like a squeegee ~ nothing gets caught in the broom fibers, and it can clean up damp/wet messes as well." —yetanotherstephanie
