Promising review: "This is an amazing little decor item! The sound from the speaker is loud and clear. The flameless candle is so true to life! It fools everybody who sees it. The best part about this product is the battery life. I use this on my deck every night and it lasts days without needing to be charged. Great product!!!" —Allysen Storch

Promising review: "It was easy to assemble, just screw in the legs. I plugged it in and charged it up. The weather has been bad out so I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out while BBQing. I tried it out in the kitchen while preparing the Thanksgiving turkey. It sounded great and the charger works great. Just place it on the table and it started charging, no unplugging the phone to respond to a text, just pick it up and lay it back down when done. I look forward to the next time I fire up the grill and sit out with a few beers. It is lightweight enough to move wherever but has enough weight that a strong wind won’t topple it over. A big plus is not having to run an extension cord." —Dude

There's also this version with a built-in lamp!
Promising review: "I use it as a bedside lamp. Very convenient that it will clip on a horizontal or vertical surface, and that the lamp is easy to re-position. The bottom of the lamp stem has a red ring that is lit when the lamp is switched on but it can be turned off or the brightness controlled by touching the base of the stem. Love that I don't have to go look for the switch on the cord when I'm done reading and want to turn out the light or find it when I get up in the night." —Linda A

Promising review: "I absolutely love it! Bought to use as a radio/ambient noise device as I fall asleep, but now realize the capabilities FAR exceeded what I initially purchased it for, so I also use it as an alarm clock, Bluetooth speaker for my iPad, personal assistant ('Alexa, add milk to my shopping list'), Amazon Music speaker (which I never used until buying this). The sound quality is really good, especially considering its small size and relatively budget-friendly price. I definitely recommend this to anyone, and if you’re a Prime member... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! Don’t even 'add to cart,' just click 'buy now' and watch your life get simpler." —Dave S

Promising review: "This pillow speaker booms! I actually had to turn the volume down and it can be heard across the room if you want to use it as an ambient speaker. The memory foam is very comfortable but still suffers from that weird, chemical outgassing odor that I have experienced in other memory-foam products. It will go away in time. The only thing that would make this perfect is the option to add Bluetooth to the line-in adapter as most electronics are switching away from the headphone jack. GREAT PRODUCT!" —Erin

Promising review: "Really long battery life, and very comfortable. I’ve tried other sleep masks but always get really uncomfortable when I turn to the side due to a huge blocky speaker, but not so with these. I occasionally forget to plug it in when I wake up but it’s usually good for at least one more night, even into the morning. The only thing I would change is allowing a few more volume levels because even the lowest setting can be louder than I prefer. Even with that small issue, it’s the best sleep mask I’ve ever purchased and perfectly meets my needs." —Cory

Promising review: "For years I saw my wife watch her Korean dramas and YouTube videos in bed, lying on her side with her phone or iPad propped on a pillow! This was not comfortable or easy to move around if interrupted. Got her this and we like it so much I bragged about it and purchased another one for a family member!" —Z

Promising review: "Does everything it advertises. I use it in my bedroom for soft lighting to wake up to and go to sleep to. I use the sunrise timer, which really does help me wake up in the morning. Played with it a bit when we first got it and loved the other aspects of it as well — all the colors, the fade from one color to the next, etc. And the programming is in the bulb, not stored on the cell phone (once it's programmed, you don't have to keep it connected to the cell phone)." —M. Rinehart

Promising review: "I put this in my bedroom to help with sinus congestion. This thing is powerful. I cranked it up to high and woke up to 58% humidity, which makes you wake up feeling like you inhaled water. Turned it to low and got 49%, which ended up being about perfect. It can run for about three or four nights on low, and the oil diffuser works well if you put enough oil in it. I wake up feeling the least congested in the 48–50% range." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I LOVE THESE SLIPPERS! My feet are constantly cold, and these slippers heat up quickly and keep me nice and warm. I also like how cute they are. I have worn them for well over a month, and they work just as well as the first day. I wear a women's size 7 and these slippers are roomy but still hug my feet. I believe they would fit people with larger feet as well." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Love, love, love this thermostat! Now that we have two locations in the house, I can program the bedrooms separated from the main house. The fact that it learns your patterns is mind-blowing! Once we switch to winter mode, I am looking forward to the savings it will provide. Use of my smart phone so I don't have to get up and go into the other room (as lazy as that is) is pretty convenient, especially at 2:30 AM when you are so hot and just want to kick the air on for a bit!" —KFPG

Promising review: "The Flex is perfect if you want to add another Echo device for the sake of controlling smart home devices, taking advantage of the guardian functionality, or for the occasional drop-in. You also get the added functionality of either a motion sensor or night light with the available accessories. We replaced our bathroom night light with the Flex and it is great! The light accessory gives off more light than our old night light and my wife loves the different colors you can choose due to the built-in RGB LEDs. I tested the drop-in feature as well and it was loud and clear while talking to my wife in the next room. I highly recommend the Flex if you want an additional Echo device in a bathroom, kitchen, or spare room and don't want the hassle of hiding the cables, or if you want to add motion sensor triggers or a night light to a room." —Spyder2014

Promising review: "I needed this to get a better signal in the upstairs master bedroom but had no idea what I was doing. Read all the reviews and finally decided to give this a try. Just plugged it in, pressed a button on my router, and presto! It was done! If your router doesn't have that button, there are easy, step-by-step directions. Nothing to it. Moved the repeater upstairs to the hallway, which is quite a distance from my router, and had a full-strength Wi-Fi connection for the bedroom! It was easy and the price was certainly good." —Spyoki

Promising review: "The Awair second edition looks like a beautiful piece of art or as if it’s part of my living room set. The five types of sensors are giving me data about my living space that is crucial to my health. The app is excellent, gives me alerts and a one-week history of my data. It would be great if the app did some more correlation between my historical data for me to draw some conclusions. Also, it could present outdoor environmental data as well since it did ask me for my location." —D. Negrin

Promising review: "I. Love. This. Speaker!! First of all it is GORGEOUS! I got it in the rose gold, which is the same as my iPhone, and it is soo cute! It has a matte finish, a very pleasant and satisfying shape, large touch power-on, volume, and pairing-up buttons on the underside, and an adorable blue light ring around the base that helps it communicate with my Echo Dot (which I bought it specifically to pair with). Pairing the two was pretty easy and this is coming from a non-tech-minded person. The sound...the SOUND is incredible!! It is so small and portable, so delicious to look at, and plays music so well that I would not hesitate to get more as gifts, especially for the price." —Helene N.

Promising review: "Amazing little plant pot. To connect Bluetooth, tap twice on the power button. Very simple to use and very cute. When Bluetooth is not connected it will respond to your body heat and you can 'play the piano' by touching or being near the plant. I love that it has a drain site if you overwater your plant. Do not use a fake plant, these features are meant for live plants only." —Norquis Sanabria

Promising review: "I have one in each bedroom and in the hallways. They've functioned wonderfully in the year I've had them up. I've never had any actual smoke even to trigger them, but one time I did take a particularly hot and steamy shower and the alarm in the hallway outside of the bathroom sounded a pre-warning in which a voice stated that an alarm could be sounding shortly. But the Nest obviously realized there was no threat and never alerted. That sort of advanced notice of a blaring alarm is a welcome feature. I hope I never have to see how well these work as fire alarms, but until then I'm very happy with how they look and how they function." —C. Cantrall

Promising review: "I bought this switch for the bedroom so that my fiancé and I wouldn't have to get out of bed to turn off the overhead lights. Once I figured out that the directions for installation were on the Kasa App I was able to easily wire it into our switch box. Setting it up to work with our Amazon Alexa units was also very easy. I also watched a YouTube video that demonstrated the installation." —Michael P. McDonnell
Get it from Amazon for $19.34.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first but after a week I'm still giddy every time they open and close. The install time was just under an hour, probably faster if you have any experience at all. It took me (a complete beginner) 10 minutes just to get the blinds off the wall. While the first setup took me about 45 minutes, the second I installed took just about 15 minutes, after I knew how it worked. As a renter, getting brand-new blinds with automation built-in wasn't really an option. The Bluetooth connection is solid and only once did I need to reset my phone to repair it. The settings are basic, but fully cover what you would need. Also, after the initial setup and creating a schedule (open and sunrise, close at sunset) I only open the app when I'm showing off the features to friends." —Travis Trawick

Promising review: "I don't use the TP-Link (Kasa) app (except for setup) so I'm not super interested in the power usage info, but for Google Home, this is a must-have for that room where you have several things plugged into a power strip that is suited for automation. Each outlet can be turned on/off manually OR via the Kasa app/Google Home. Super easy to set up (Kasa App is pretty good) and adding to Google Home was a snap. I know I have three devices plugged into this smart power strip configured for Google Home and two devices just using power. I could not be happier with the quality and reliability of the TP-Link smart outlets/power strips that I've purchased (so far I have seven). Highly recommend this item." —Brian

Promising review: "I am addicted to these things. We currently have five zones set up (living room, bedroom, front porch, kitchen sink, and loft). I like that I can turn on lights for our dogs if I'm coming home after dark. It works fantastic with Alexa. My only issue is that some of the newer versions of the Android operating system make it impossible to set up a new outlet via the app. The last four we set up required me to use somebody else's phone in order to complete the setup." —Whoareyou

Promising review: "This little gadget is amazing! It’s changing my sex life. The last thing you want in the heat of the moment is to stop and fumble for a messy bottle of lube. This is easy, mess-free, and delightfully warm. I love it so much, I’m purchasing my mother one for Christmas. The biggest downside is that your friends might think you’re a little strange when you can’t stop talking about how much you love your lubricant warmer. My only genuine critique is that we usually need multiple 'pumps' to get everything ready to go. But just move your hand away and back under the dispenser." —Micayla
