    52 Problem-Solving Home Products Reviewers Called “Magic”

    If you can't have a real magic wand, this electric rechargeable flameless lighter is about as close as you can get ✨.

    1. A cold brew coffee maker to save you a zillion frenzied trips to the coffee shop each day. This is so gloriously easy to use that all you have to do is stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Boom, four cups of cold brew to help you power through the marathon of Zoom calls for the day. 

    Promising review: "Ever find a product that just really really works and delivers everything as promised? Well, if you haven't, I strongly suggest buying this cold brew maker. You will not be disappointed. Takeya is my new best friend and that's saying a lot because I've had the same best friend since childhood for thirty something years, but this girl is magic...... She's amazing! I am so pleased with the cold brew coming from this little inexpensive maker. It's easy to use and delivers perfect delicious results. I was spending $10 a day buying coffee from the chains but now, nope. Extra cash in my pocket!" —Jamie

    2. A rechargeable, flameless electric lighter for everything from lighting your beloved three-wick candles do your gas burners — this is a much safer option than matches, and way more cost-effective and environmentally friendly than getting long-stemmed gas lighters.

    It comes in other pretty colors, but I am especially partial to this one because I bought it for my parents (their kitchen is entirely pink and one of my favorite places on Earth), and this was SO EASY to use — not to mention super safe! It worked like a charm on their stove, which needs to be lit by hand. I use it all all my candles now too. I'm a big weenie about fire (lol, self-preservation) so I've always stuck to extended arm gas lighters, but this is much better for the environment (plus cuter), so I feel a lot better about using it.

    Promising review: "Turns lighting three-wick candles into Harry Potter magic. And while 'life-changing' may sound a touch hyperbolic, it really isn't if you've ever gotten a hand cramp from clicking a butane lighter that stubbornly refuses to produce a flame. Simple to charge with the included cord — and the charge is long lasting. (I charged mine a week or two ago and use it nearly every day.) Love that it has a light to indicate when it's on/off." —Call of the Mild

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five colors).

    3. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which will truly do a number on everything from dirty stove tops to grimy sinks to caked-over ovens. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

    Promising review: "THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. If you’re questioning getting this to clean harder stains or anything, this is your review to read! I was a little skeptical because I’ve tried many things to clean my shower door with the hard water stains and nothing really ever got it completely clean...this stuff did! I wish I would have taken before pictures. It did take a couple applications and some scrubbing, but honestly I didn’t have to scrub hard, just used a wet cloth and this and my shower door is now completely clean without any hard water stains! I’m obsessed. Now to see what else I can clean with it." —Rachel Anne Deaton

    Get it from Amazon for $7.95.

    4. A ridiculously popular set of breathable, stain resistant cooling bedsheets to stop you from overheating in the middle of the night. These have amassed over 80,000 5-star reviews on Amazon (and come in so many colors you could build a rainbow).

    Promising review: "Goodbye stained sheets! These are MAGIC! It’s actually stain resistant!! I dyed my hair at home using dark brown and dark red permanent dye, and forgot to keep my wet hair wrapped in a towel overnight. In the morning, my new light yellow pillowcase was covered in dark streaks. I figured it was ruined but threw it in the wash anyway — no special stain remover or anything. It came out of the wash STAIN FREE! INCREDIBLE! Aside from that it’s super soft, and incredibly inexpensive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Tema Payette

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in seven sizes and 18 colors).

    5. A detergent booster that essentially supercharges a run of your dishwasher to get rid of those caked-on hard water mug stains — bippity boppity (detergent) boost!

    Promising review: "We were having problems with our dishes coming out of the dishwasher dirtier than they went in. Hard water left deposits and scum all over everything, and the dishes would be soaking wet. This miracle powder has made all our dishes come out totally dry, shiny, and smooth. It's like magic." —Eric Dietrich

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    6. A sparkling-wine saver that will keep your bubblies bubbling so you can pop your prosecco any day of the week without worrying about wasting the leftovers.

    Amazon / Via www.amazon.com

    I purchased one of these at the aggressive behest of a friend, and it's LEGIT. I told myself I was a Red Wine Lady my whole life because it was easier to save for later, but now that I don't live in constant fear of wasting the bubbly stuff, I am an All Wine Lady and have finally achieved my truest form.

    Promising review: "It's like magic! Easy and works exactly as it claims. The bubbles multiply inside the bottle after it has gone flat. Marvelous darling!" —Heather T Davitt

    7. A heavy duty grout cleaner you only need to let sit for 10 minutes before you scrub the dirt and grime from all those sneaky crevices like it's your superpower.

    Promising review: "Whatever fairy particles reside inside of this bottle, it is nothing short of magic! I cannot begin to tell you how many products have failed at fixing a botched tiling job my (now ex) contractor had made of the entire ground level of my house. I bought this as last resort for cleaning stained grout, and wow! While working on the grout, which magically transformed before my eyes, I realized it is also taking off the several months old caked on/dried haze that no other product could touch and that I pretty much had given up on. I'm writing this review as I'm about to look whether this comes in a gallon size. Yep, that good! I might have to cut back on groceries in the coming weeks, as the product is pricey, and I need a lot of it, but I'll be glad to do that in order to salvage my floors. Whoever made this miracle liquid, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart." —Sleeplessdomore

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

    8. A produce-saver storage container designed to keep your fruits and veggies fresh way longer, so you can finally stop surrendering to the race against time when your produce goes bad faster than you can finish it.

    still fresh raspberries on day 8

    Promising review: "These work like magic! One way or another, I always used to end up with moldy produce in my fridge. Not anymore! I put two packs of strawberries in the larger container and they lasted for significantly longer than they would have in their regular store containers. I was completely amazed. I am definitely going to buy more sizes for the rest of my produce!" —Alyssa Nunez

    9. A broom for pet and human hair that can work on any type of floor, but is specifically designed to pull it up from the carpet faster and deeper than even a lot of vacuums can reach. In less than five minutes you'll find out what color your carpet's *actually* been the whole time!

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets.

    Promising review: "This sucker is magic. I bought mine thhree 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

    Get it from Amazon for $12.44.

    10. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time.

    Promising review: "These cleaning K-Cups work like magic. So easy a monkey can do it, LOL. No bad smell when cleaning. Coffee tasted great after using one of these cleaning cups." —KIMBERLY R. 

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    11. A set of Bottle Bright tablets so you can tackle all those stains on your bottles, mugs, and coffee makers so fast you'll wonder if it's enchanted.

    Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

    Get a set of six from Amazon for $8.

    12. An eco-friendly air purifier with a user-friendly design that's got a reusable filter for dust, pollen, smoke, odor, and pet dander. Not only can it help reduce seasonal and pet-related allergies and trap harmful particles in smoke and dust, but you also have the option of adding a drop of essential oil to it to make your whole home smell like a ~lavender field~.

    Promising review: "Amazing. I love absolutely everything about this product. Does exactly what it says it’s going to do." —catag1749

    Another promising review: "Everyone must have this. I've been suffering from asthma and pollen for years and I can’t even explain how important this item became to me. Omg, it works magic. The first night I turned it on I thought I was sleeping under a green tree in a rain forest. Fresh air! Such an amazing experience. It also reduced my snoring and asthma." —Hanifa Hashimi

    Get it from Amazon for $51.99.

    13. A bunch of Miracle-Gro "food spikes" that can bring plants back from the brink of death, and then will continuously feed them for 30 to 60 days as a bonus.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE! People will remark on your plants when you start using them. These make a huge difference if you haven't been feeding your plants — super easy to use — just stick them in your plants and forget about it. I put new ones in all my plants about once a month. They're like magic!! I give them away as gifts, they're that great. :)" —Vicki Huntman

    Get a set of 24 from Amazon for $2.78.

    14. A bottle of odor-banishing Poo-Pourri spray, so nobody in the family ever has to come out of the bathroom and be all, "Uh, maybe give it a minute."

    Promising review: "I was using Lavender Vanilla for a while, and switched to another scent because the bottle matched my bathroom theme better haha. A few squirts before you go, and your guests (and/or you) will have nothing to be embarrassed or uncomfortable about on burrito night. :) This stuff really is magic." —Daniel K. 

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in nine sizes and 19 scents).

    15. A set of dishwasher-cleaning tablets you can pop into a cycle of laundry to "poof!" all the extra grime and that funky smell you were low-key hoping would just go away on its own.

    Now you can host your get-togethers without that one helpful friend being like *GASP* when they see the state of your dishwasher.

    Promising review: "Absolute magic. I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, tip hero, etc. but this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well maintained and struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios turned back the clock. It looks brand new inside. BRAND NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again and I’m telling everyone I know about this." —Jason

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $5.99.

    16. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.

    Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

    17. A set of satin pillowcases that create less friction for your hair, so you can wake up with hair so magically untangled and fresh that your dry shampoo will wonder if you moved away.

    Promising review: "This pillowcase is magic. I’ve never had a pillowcase that doesn’t make my hair a mess when I wake up. I woke up today with my hair looking exactly the same, neat and nice. And the pillowcase makes it really comfy to sleep on." —Taliese P.

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in seven colors and three sizes).

    18. A handy fridge deodorizer to finally get rid of that slightly ~off~ smell your fridge has had since the day you inherited it, no matter how many times you went to clown town cleaning it out.

    Amazon

    This deodorizer lasts up to six months, and also helps keep produce fresher for longer. The company claims it's six times more effective than baking soda — a ton of reviewers mentioned they'd tried the baking soda method and failed, but that this worked like a charm!

    Promising review: "I am nearing eight months pregnant and have had the nose of a bloodhound for the entire pregnancy. Everything has a smell and makes me nauseous. The dogs stink, the refrigerator stinks, my husband stinks, plastic bags have a stink, every single food stinks, even Scotch tape has a stink. Our refrigerator is less than a year old, and yet after taking it completely apart and scrubbing every single shelf and crevice four times, I can still smell across the house or from another floor when someone cracks the door of the fridge open. For months, I have been gagging anytime someone gets a snack unless I wait five minutes in the garage for it to air out. Less than 12 hours with this deodorizer, and it is a literal miracle. For the first time since June, I can INHALE inside my own house and even in my own refrigerator without the smell of some unknown food triggering the nausea. There is no smell — an absence of smell. I don't know what kind of magic this is, but 50 stars to this product and I am loyal for life." —Sonja

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    19. A tiny milk frother to save you a ton of money by transporting you to Starbucks without ever leaving your kitchen — suddenly everything you drink will taste like it was lovingly handcrafted by a barista.

    It's also teensy for storing and cleans with a quick stream of hot running water! We stan a convenient appliance!!

    Promising review: "I love this frother! I have two! I'd purchased a cheaper one at one point, and that was a mistake. This is the best frother on the market. Perfect for my Keto coffee in the morning, and honestly for so many other things! You can whip up some whipped cream in seconds. It's amazing. I bought some coffee syrups of my own and stopped going to Starbucks thanks to this lil guy. Instant coffee bar. The brand customer service is also really amazing. Can't say enough about this frother and about its brand. This little wand is magical!" —Clarissa Luna

    Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 32 colors).

    20. A microwave pasta maker so convenient for making *chef's kiss* perfect pasta with *chef's laziness* little effort that it'll feel enchanted.

    For the pasta lovers out there, here are some hearty five-ingredient pasta recipes to give a try, like pasta bolognese and creamy sausage and tortellini soup. Pro-tip: this microwave pasta maker works on lasagna and ravioli, too!

    Promising review: "I've had this thing for less than twelve hours and I've used it three times ... IT'S MAGICAL. I eat a lot of pasta — like, A LOT. I probably eat pasta at least seven times a week; I love pasta! Boiling water is a pain and I've always hated having to wash the big pasta pan afterwards. Well this Fasta Pasta puts that to an end. Now all I have to do is measure my pasta, fill to the water line, and wait. It's kind of like Ronco's 'set it and forget it.'" —Kate Slater

    Get it from Amazon for $16.98.

    21. A handy dish squeegee for anyone who is constantly at the mercy of their dirty dishes because they don't have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal — this cuts through crusted on food with ease so you can slide it into the trash before hand-washing (and is also super tiny, so it won't take up much room!).

    Bonus: one side of it is curved so it'll work on bowls as well as plates.

    Promising review: "I’m honestly shocked at how good this thing is. I bought it to aid in cleaning my big square industrial style sink, as it doesn’t drain well and my water pressure is too low to make much of a difference so stuff like coffee grounds and random pasta bits build up fast. This thing is like magic on my sink. I can quickly scrape everything into the drain strainer and chuck it. My sink is 90% clean and dry just from doing that, and with all the gross food bits taken care of I can find and scrub the stubborn parts faster. The shape of this scraper is perfect, because I can get it exactly in the corners of the sink where most everything collects. I also use it for scraping dishes before washing them and that’s where the curved end really shines, because it swoops around bowls and pots effortlessly. Comes clean with a dot of dish soap and a quick massage. I used it to squeegee a big water spill off my counter once and my counter was completely dry in seconds, no towels needed. It doesn’t miss anything when you’re using it. To me it’s comfortable enough to get the job done while not compromising on my ability to put enough pressure on it for a good clean pull. Best part is I’ve been using it for months and it still looks new." —April

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

    22. A rapid egg cooker that I am warning you right now is going to become your only personality trait. It can make soft, medium, *and* hard-boiled eggs in addition to poaching, scrambling, and making omelettes out of them. This gizmo is like, a thousand potential brunches and meal preps in one.

    Reviewer images of an omelette and two poached eggs on avocado toast
    Reviewer image of dome shaped egg cooker with blue base with six eggs steaming inside

    I've owned one of these babies and have faithfully used it every week for upward of two years, and especially love it during quarantine — it simplifies breakfast because I know no matter what weird assortment of groceries I'm working with, there are precooked eggs to add some protein to it (I like mine medium-boiled 🍳). If my dinner is boring or seems like it needs a little extra "oomph" to it, I'll throw in an egg from this too. Some reviews note that the alarm on it is a little loud, but the new models have significantly decreased the volume and sing a little song instead!

    Promising review: "This is honestly the best purchase I have ever made. Maybe you don't need it if you can boil eggs and have them come out right every time, but I just ... can't ... do it. I have checked for advice online. I have talked to my 92-year-old grandmother. I have done everything — the ice, etc. I just can't peel the darn things. Even if you normally can do it on your own, this would be a lot easier than boiling water, timing them, icing them, etc. This egg cooker is magical. It's MAGICAL. You don't even need to time them. It knows to do 12 minutes for three eggs and 17 for six eggs though I don't know how. But I have tested it. It's magic. Eggs peel perfectly every time. It's beautiful." —Janalge

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors).

    23. A Pet House candle with scents engineered to cast a spell over all those miscellaneous pet odors like litter boxes, dog bed, and all those lil' sprinkles of pee that you've just accepted as "eau de basement" since your pet came into your home.

    Promising review: "These are the BEST candles for homes with dogs. We have five dogs (yup, five) ranging from a 6-lb Chihuahua to a 95-lb Lab. All are rescues and two are seniors. Senior dogs tend to be a little more stinky. These candles are amazing. Even when not lit with the lid off they make the house smell like fresh cut flowers. Light just one and the whole upstairs smells like lilacs. It’s magic. There’s no chemical scent, it really smells like fresh flowers. I’m not a fan of labels on candles, and this one peels off really easily and leaves no sticky residue. You’re left with a beautiful, clean looking, fresh smelling, dog funk eliminating and even-burning candle." —Laurel

    24. An air-tight pantry-organizing container set so you can not only organize the horror show that is your pantry, but keep all your goods fresher *way* longer. Bonus: the lids are so airtight you can store liquid in them and jostle 'em around. 

    Customer image of five air tight containers with dry and wet goods in them
    Customer image turning the container upside down to show it won't spill

    Promising review: "The lids are magic.  I have been a fan of Good Grips OXO products since moving out and establishing my own household. My husband and I had been eyeing this storage set for quite some time and finally took the plunge. Often I will do a pro/con list for my reviews, but I cannot in this case. There are no cons. This design is impeccable. The canisters themselves are sturdy, and since they’re clear, it’s obvious what’s inside. The magic here is really in the lids. They create a perfect seal with the push of the button (unsealing the same way). I put 4 to 5 pounds of pasta in one of mine, turned it upside down, and not a noodle spilled. The lids can be completely dismantled for cleaning, and it’s all dishwasher safe. All containers are stackable, so this really is a fantastic way to get organized and save space. These are magnificent!" —Reviewtoakill

    25. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that works its magic in one wash to help you instantly get rid of all that discolored dried sweat, oil stains, or deodorant residue on your favorite clothes.

    This spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, make up, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).

    Promising review: This thing is magic. I tried it on a few clothes that had literally years old stains of food, turmeric, coffee and oil. These clothes had already gone through several hot dry cycles in drier and I was told that once clothes go through hot cycle in dried they set in and never come off. With this, most did come off! The best thing is that it did not affect colors on the shirts." —Shital Shah

    26. Or a zero-waste laundry stain remover stick so you can spot treat all your favorite pieces with even more precision.

    Get it from Me Mother Earth on Etsy for $5.49.

    27. A fast-acting carpet spot-removing spray that works like a charm on those miscellaneous stains from a previous tenant, or that not-so-miscellaneous time you spilled half of the red sauce from your leftover noodles facedown on the floor.

    Stained carpet
    Same carpet with stain gone

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years, and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $12.07.

    28. A set of bed bands that'll lock your fitted sheets neatly into place once and for all, so when you make your bed every morning it won't be a full scale production that you inevitably give up on.

    The same bed with the sheets perfectly fitted

    Promising review: "I have two dogs, a plush memory foam mattress, and a husband that rolls around a lot in his sleep. This, as you might imagine, caused a LOT of tugging at the sheets. We've had the bed bands on for two weeks now and I swear we are actually sleeping better because of them. I don't wake up tugging to get the sheet over the mattress again, and my husband doesn't wake up sweating when he inevitably rolls onto the bare mattress (which has a very comfortable, but also very very warm top layer). Even with our dogs wrestling on the bed, nothing has moved. I swear these things are straight up magic. I'm getting everyone I know a set for Christmas. THANK YOU for a product that works. I love it." —Nicole K. 

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99.

    29. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleansing liquid and scouring cloth to quickly magic away all your least favorite stains *without* scratching surfaces — it's high time to stop relying on paper towels and regular sponges and start using the same stuff as literal kitchen pros.

    I'm talking stainless-steel appliances, pots and pans, shower stalls, sinks, tubs —and everything's going to gleam like the day it was first born.

    Promising review: "This stuff is magic!! I was gifted really fancy stainless steal pots and pans for Christmas and was worried about keeping them pristine. After a few uses my worst fears came true: They were yucky. Enter, barkeepers friend. A few swipes and bingo, like new. I have now swiped everything worth swiping in my entire house: faucets, fixtures, doorknobs, cats (KIDDING). Everything sparkles and looks brand new. I do recommend wearing gloves because it’s a little rough on the hands. Otherwise — fantastic!" —Amber S.

    30. Or a glass and ceramic cookware cleanup kit that comes with heavy-duty scrubber, a razor blade, *and* a cleaner specifically designed to get at those caked-on stains, so you'll finally know what your stove was supposed to look like all along.

    Promising review: "I never thought our electric top would look good again. My husband loves to do the shake-and-scrape thing with the pots when he cooks. This stuff worked like magic though. I will say we figured out that you need to work differently from what the directions say. First spread on the liquid and let sit for a good 25 minutes, then sponge off, then use the scraper after that. The scraper after was what really got those tough spots." —Stef V.

    31. A litter box odor eliminator so effective that your cat will have to find *other* creative ways of letting their presence in the house be known (like making direct eye contact with you before landing on the very keyboard you're using right now).

    Amazon

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. 

    Promising review: "Years old stains magically came off. I only write reviews for items I really like. Sooo ... I have two cats and three litter boxes. I've been using Arm and Hammer and another deodorizing crystal. Both give a strong scent in the beginning that masks the litter smell, but seem to lose efficacy over the hours. Rocco and Roxie has a very pleasant odor from the start. It's not strong at all. It's hard to describe but it's like a mix between light cinnamon and bubble gum (the classic type shaped like.a ball and wrapped in a wrapper. Used to get those trick or treating LOL). I tried this in just one litter box at first and liked the results. Then I realized how bad the other box smelled from 6 feet away even though the cats don't use it at much. So I sprinkled it and like magic, the bad smell is gone. I'm hooked on this and will repurchase soon." —Shital Shah

    32. A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime-busting for you, so you don't have to have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.

    Promising review: "We originally purchased this to scrub our tile floors and grout in the bathrooms. We have a dog that slobbers everywhere and the only way to clean it is to use elbow grease. This thing is magical! We’ve used it on the walls (no paint removed), based boards, door jams and doors, windows, floors, and cabinets. Just dip it into warm soapy water and go to town! Recommending this to all our friends. Cuts cleaning time in half!" —A. Bos

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors).

    33. A bottle of Goo Gone for instantly banishing all those mysterious gooey, sticky, tough-to-scrub stains, from sticker residue to spilled glue to that fresh piece of gum you somehow against all odds got lodged in your hair.

    Promising review: "I would give a 10-star rating if there was one. Works like a charm. All of the annoying sticker marks in my house are gone!!!! The old home security stickers on the windows and doors, the price sticker marks on my beautiful pink hair brush, the old hook sticker mark in our bathroom from the old homeowner, you name it. They've all been there like forever and I seriously tried all means that I could, steam cleaner, electric scrubber, nothing worked until I got this magic Goo Gone. Now they are all gone and it didn't even take any hard work to get rid of all the goos!!!!" —Yingnan

    34. A HyperChiller that will transform your piping hot coffee into glorious iced coffee in a literal minute — same goes for that rosé you were too lazy to put in the fridge. Presto, rosé-o.

    Promising review: "I've struggled with making iced coffee at home until now — the Hyperchiller is magic. I can't believe how quickly my coffee becomes cold with zero dilution. I was also surprised on how much coffee it held, it's perfect." —Brian Kelly

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    35. A carpet cleaning solution that will dig in so immediately and so deep that nobody will ever guess your dog went on a peeing spree that one time you dared to come home smelling like someone else's dog.

    Promising review: "Carpet Miracle is the absolute best product I have ever used! I have six kids, three dogs, and two cats. You can't even believe the messes that have happened in my house. But this product is basically magic. One of my kids spilled black acrylic paint on my two-weeks-brand-new carpet last year and carpet miracle got it completely out. There's not even a shadow left. I also use a cap full in stinky loads of laundry. It gets the smell out of anything! And there hasn't been a stain yet that this product hasn't defeated." —Lyndsey

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    Psst — if you're looking for a decent, affordable vacuum you can use with this carpet cleaner, Hoover's PowerDash Pet is $89.99 on Amazon!

    36. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair. Like the old wisdom says...all magic comes with a price 😱.

    A model dipping the drain snake into a sink
    A drain snake pulled back up with a ton of gunk and hair attached

    Promising review: "These really did the trick. The drain in our shower is the WORST. It's not removable or easy to get a snake down, so I was worried about how these would work. Think of like dorm shower drains. That's what ours is like, and it's set into the floor of our shower. These snakes are small enough to get down the rather small holes but magical enough to really pull all of the built up hair that was collecting down there. Very gross honestly. But definitely worth it because now I can be in the shower more than five minutes before the water fills to the top of the 1- to 2- inch lip in our stand-up shower. A super great deal for a great product." —Elyse Police

    37. An avocado slicer for taking care of those pesky pits and giving you slices so perfectly portioned you'll start calling yourself an Avocado Wizard.

    This three-in-one tool can split an avocado with its pointy tip, remove the pit with its center, and make perfectly even slices with the bottom — a much safer alternative to using a regular knife and potential falling prey to the dreaded "avocado hand."

    Promising review: "This avocado slicer is magical. You will be the avocado and/or guacamole queen thanks to this tool. Slice 10 avocados for a family-sized guacamole dish? No problem. Done in two minutes. I'm just disappointed I didn't order it years ago." —K

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    38. A silicone muffin mold so versatile it might legitimately be witchcraft — this can cook eggs, pastries, and muffins without a ton of nonstick prep, and with ridiculously easy cleanup.

    Reviewer with pop up muffins in the mold
    Reviewer with egg bites in the mold

    Promising review: "I don't have any previous experience with silicone muffin pans, so I don't have anything to compare it to. For me, this product exceeded my expectations. I use it to cook egg bites for a quick take away breakfast. My old nonstick muffin tin had the eggs sticking to it no matter what I did. This one releases them without the use of any sort of tool. I just press on one side and the egg bite rotates up so I can grab it. Like magic. I do oil it down occasionally as was recommended." —Justin D. Boggs

    Get one from Amazon for $9.99.

    39. A bottle of wood polish that'll instantly make your scuffed up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that it'll feel like you stuck it all into a time machine. 

    Promising review: "This stuff works like MAGIC. 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. Take a look at the pictures to see the before and afters. 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

    40. A silicone baking mat for your sheet pans, so you can roast big batches of meal prep veggies at the beginning of the week with all your favorite sauces and seasonings without worrying about your the cleanup (or wasting parchment paper).

    Promising review: "These things are flat-out AMAZING!! Area 51 Tech combined with Eye of Newt Magic Spells!! Unearthly non-stick capability!!! Arcane heat resistance!!! I've cooked fish, rolls, even BACON on these little miracles in the oven. Literally NOTHING hurts them, and everything bakes/cooks up beautifully! About all I haven't tried is taking them outside and testing different rifle rounds against them; but I'm willing to bet they make it at least up to .308. These. Things. Are. AMAZING!!!" —J. Erskine

    41. A two-stage knife-sharpener, because those blades you bought back in the day?? They're probably super dull by now, even if you haven't noticed since it's happened over time. But sharper knives = faster, safer cooking, so you can ~refresh~ them with this.

    Promising review: "This is one of the best kitchen tools I've ever invested in on amazon. We're a big family, and have quite a collection of kitchen knives that my fiancé and I have acquired over the years. None of them were sharp until this magic tool! Sharpening takes maybe a few minutes (faster once you get the hang of it) and saves your knives!" —Nel_zon

    43. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that uses vinegar and water to blow hot steam into your microwave oven and loosen up all the old food and stains in a mere seven minutes (approximately two Harry Styles songs, if anyone's keeping track).

    Promising review: "Awesome product. These angry mamas work like magic!" —kimberli

    *Another* promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" —Desiree Barlow

    44. A red wine stain-removing spray to pick up both old and new red wine stains from carpets, couches, towels, and fabrics, so now even your white duvet is safe from your cabernet's clutches.

    Promising review: "My best friend! My friend spilled a huge glass of red wine on my light beige carpet and this took it right out. I’ve sworn by it ever since. Best product I’ve ever used for wine stains. It’s like magic. I even sprayed some on a pillow that had red wine spilled on it and the next morning the stain was gone!" —Howell

    Get it from Amazon for $10.27.

    45. A Woolite carpet and upholstery cleaner to quickly rub all those old mystery stains out of your couches, chairs, and carpets so you can stop strategically putting blanket throws over them all the time.

    Promising review: "Magic in the form of foam! We have a new puppy, and two other dogs, and I swear nothing gets out gross pet messes like this stuff right here. We happened to come across this stuff on accident one day, and this is the stuff we swear by ever since (honestly any of the Woolite carpet cleaning products work great, but this one is exceptionally fantastic). The scent is great too :)" —Dratera

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    46. A bottle of jetted tub cleaner so easy to use that literally all you have to do is run your bath water, pour in the cleaner, and run your jets.

    Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and had never used our jetted tub. One day last week I decided I needed a nice long soak, filled up the tub only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up online what the best way to clean a Jetted Bath Tub was and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why, this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. We were so impressed, I purchased another bottle for my sister in law who is moving into her new house next week as a house warming gift. You will not be disappointed, and I'd be shocked if the first words out of your mouth when you use this stuff weren't 'OH YUK'!" —Kimmy D

    47. A set of velvet closet hangers designed to cling ever so slightly to your clothes, both so the clothes stay put more firmly on the hanger, and so they flatten a bit to reduce the bulk of some of your clothing (hello, all 10,000 of my oversized flannels) takes up.

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    I bought about 60 of these six years ago just to streamline the ~aesthetic~ of my closet, and I have now carried them with me through three closets and two big moves and can't imagine using any other kind of hanger. The velvet locks all my shirts and coats in place so I never have to worry about finding them bunched up at the bottom of my closet whenever I jostle them looking for something to wear, and they have been a *godsend* for reducing the space taken up in my closet. I also just love how sleek and organized they make my closet look. A few reviewers mentioned the velvet coming off on their clothes, but I've never had an issue with the beige ones. 

    Promising review: "The only hangers you'll ever need. These hold your clothes like magic! No more falling, sliding or wrinkles. Where have these been all of my life?" —T & L Furche

    Promising review: "I don’t know where this Affresh tablet takes all the dirt and hair but even the door and the filter are shiny and clean. It's pretty impressive.

    This also works on computer monitors, laptops, phones, tablets, and e-readers. Each kit comes with a spray bottle and a streak-free microfiber cloth.

    Promising review: "I used this on my two Ultrawide PC monitors, LG OLED TV, phone, and tablet. Just spray a little bit on the provided microfiber cloth and gently wipe. No streaks or visible wipe marks and all the gunk just magically disappears. No need to wipe very hard or for very long either! FOUR THUMBS UP." —Nghi V. Huynh

    Promising review: "I live in an apartment with terrible plumbing and it takes two flushes to actually work like a toilet should. As a result, this left a TERRIBLE ring of hard water in my toilet bowl. I tried the Clorox wand, Comet with bleach, bleach itself, and lots of elbow grease and abrasive sponges to no avail. I ordered this and was thinking 'if this doesn't work I'll just leave the stain and when I move out they'll have to replace the toilet.' This product WORKED! I was so excited! I've never been excited about a cleaning product before but this was MAGICAL! I am so happy with this I'm going to tell anyone about this (when it comes up, of course). And it was so easy to use, you can hear it working the grime off until you hear and feel the 'smooth' sound, and it's so satisfying lol. GREAT PRODUCT!!!" —AZ Chick

    Promising review: "Now I've seen real magic. These things are literal miracles. We got hit with an infestation that's been driving us nuts for a few weeks now. I tried cedar pieces and those had virtually no effect. I then tried these and, no joke, the first one I set out triggered an instant frenzy of activity the moment I arrived with it. It had several stuck to it SECONDS after I set it down and easily over 50 before the first night was out. Others had at least a few on it. In this day and age when so many things simply don't work or do very little, these are a huge relief and surprise." —Rich Heimlich
