Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was a gimmick or not. Turns out it works really well. I have four metal thermos-like containers that are used to keep tea warm every day. Over time, the tea stained the insides and was very difficult to remove. I added one of these tablets to the container, filled it with hot water, and let it sit for a few hours. When I came back to rinse it out, I was literally amazed at how clean it was. I think it looked cleaner than when it was new. I called my wife over to show her, and she was equally impressed. Awesome product!" —Robert A Moreno II

Promising review: "This is the greatest item if you live alone or just want to make one or two helpings of pasta. Of course, you must own a microwave. It cooks the pasta, and using the lid you can strain it, and then plop it in a bowl ready for sauce, cheese, butter, etc. It eliminates using multiple utensils and waiting for water to boil. No pot, or strainer necessary." —P. Luebbert

Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with these! I am a sales rep. and these have made my life SO easy! Almost every single person who gets in my car asks where I got them and where they can get them! They perfectly hold a couple water bottles, granola bar wrappers, fast food bags, etc. I empty the bag every time I fill up and have never needed to empty the bag in between fill-ups — they're that perfectly sized." —Amazon Customer

It's safe on all surfaces (toilets, floors, tables, showers, carpets, you name it). It effectively cuts through grease, hard water stains, soap scum, foods stains — really any *sticky situation*. AND it's cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I recently purchased this product after seeing it on Shark Tank. I was really impressed that it could clean and disinfect better than other commercial products. I was even more impressed that it could be ingested and not cause death! I have three young children and one puppy. I keep my cleaning supplies out of reach but I wanted something safe to keep in the house in case one of my very clever boys got ahold of it. Long story short, this actually works! So far I used it in my kitchen, bathrooms, and on the carpet to clean up vomit. For the vomit it worked very well. I have been mostly impressed in the bathroom. I have two baths with no outside windows. It can get pretty stuffy and smelly in there, especially with little boys. The weird musky/urine odor is now gone from my boys' bathroom!" —Luoja

It also comes with a ~Spatty Daddy~ which effectively scrapes out hair products, condiments, sauces, or really anything that comes in a larger jar or bottle.
Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the Spatty Daddy on an 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. You get so much more makeup than you would without it. I give it five stars." —Liz

It even comes with an insert for smaller glasses/cans! It can fit anything from regular glasses, beer bottles, mugs, and anything in between.
Promising review: "This product is awesome. I was afraid that it wouldn't be heavy enough not to slide around with a large drink in it, but no worries: it handles any drink. This is perfect since I don't have a coffee table to use for my drinks. My drinks sweat inside the holder, but it does not leak onto my couch and I just wipe it out with paper towels. I love the feature of the insert for smaller based glasses and cups." —Sandra F

Promising review: "I've bought one of these for myself, my parents, and my friends. I'm not kidding. You may think I'm just some made up spam account, but I honestly have bought multiple squatty potties. Not to get too graphic, but when I'm doing my business I'll think almost nothing came out based on the amount of pushing I did. I'll turn around and the bowl is full. I've never seen so much come out of me so easily before. As long as you are also getting an appropriate amount of fiber in your diet, this will work better than sitting on the toilet normally. I almost don't want to use a toilet for #2 unless there's a squatty potty." —Ludlum

Promising review: "We never had problems with ticks or fleas while living in the city, but six months ago we moved to the country. Our two dogs (Doberman and small pitbull mix) run around outside and sometimes in the woods on our property. We started finding ticks on them. The vet recommended $50+ collars 'that most other owners buy for their dogs.' We scoffed at the expense for two dogs. I had remembered seeing this product on Shark Tank and had saved it on my lists here. Started using it on our dogs three months ago, Doberman has had not one tick and the pitbull had one, on the back of his ear, which we found super quick. This has been a great natural product to use out here. And there are tons of ticks. I think I'm going to start using it for myself per reading other reviews." —KitKat

Both ends are magnetized so they *stick together* all day!
Promising review: "I saw this on Shark Tank and thought it was kind of goofy. Then I needed reading glasses. I now have an enormous collection of reading glasses, all over the house — I mean, in every room! So I found this again and bought it, and I really love it. I attach it to my shirt and voilà, glasses on me, anytime I want, without them hanging around my neck. The magnet is very strong and I have no worries about it letting go." —E. bay

Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur

Plus it's easier to rinse than most sponges so it doesn't cling to debris (and start to smell). It's soft in warm water for a gentle cleansing and firm in cool water for tougher scrubbing.
Promising review: "I love these scrubbers. When I saw these in the store, I couldn't imagine why someone would pay so much for a sponge. My sister had a multi-pack and gave me one. I've been hooked ever since. 1. They don't stink no matter how long you have them. 2. Warm water makes them soft yet abrasive enough to hand wash dishes. Cold water makes them very stiff, which is great for washing stuck on greasy pans. 3. They won't scratch surfaces. 4. They come in different colors to easily color code cleaning areas. They rinse clean and dry fast. Worth every penny." —Amazon Customerss

They're also great for motorcycles, fitness classes, or really any loud environment!
Promising review: "I saw these on Shark Tank and forgot about them until I was ready to go to a concert and realized I couldn't handle another concert with foam plugs that muffle all the sound so badly. I have tinnitus/ear ringing and VERY sensitive hearing, but still love to watch live music, so I have to do SOMETHING. These are awesome, and I am so happy I bought them. I could hear the sound well, could carry on a conversation with them in, and was so happy overall. Best ear protection experience I've ever had! They weren't uncomfortable or falling out. They just stayed in, discretely, and were easy to wear the whole show. I am a fan. A big, big fan." —KP

Promising review: "Very practical ring. I can wear this ring without it getting in the way or even really noticing it. I wear it in the shower, doing dishes, whatever. I got the white one and so far (approx. 1 month use) no discoloration, which I was worried about. I have an allergy to metal so this was a very good non-traditional solution for my wedding ring. (I still have my nice diamond ring to wear out when I dress up). I am usually a 4.75 or 5 ring size; I bought a size 4 and it did stretch slightly as other reviewers mentioned so now it fits like a glove. I was worried that it would feel too tight at first and it would freak me out if I couldn't get it off or it would cut off circulation. None of this happened. It was totally comfortable from day one. Very happy! Definitely recommend!" —WWoman6814

Just be sure to use the included pen, otherwise the pages won't wipe clean! The notebook comes with *42* reusable pages (designed for planning, listing, goal setting, note-taking, sketching, and more) that can be uploaded to Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Box, OneNote, Slack, iCloud, and email.
Promising review: "Just when I think I have the last notebook I'll ever need, Rocketbook comes out with something amazing again! I'm so glad they finally made a planner and they even included monthly and weekly pages. I'm not sure if I'll be scanning those ones, but it's great to have reusable calendars. My company just started implementing OKRs (just like Google!) last year so it was so cool to see that page in there, too. And of course, the grid and lined pages are awesome for just about everything, and I'll definitely be sending my sketches and notes to teammates on Slack every day." —Marketing Nomad

They're made from sustainable, organic bamboo — one roll replaces 60 paper towel rolls. Plus they're machine-washable and SUPER strong! They can be used ~120+ times~ before discarding.
Promising review: "I am such a fan of these bamboo towels. I purchased six rolls a year and a half ago and just came back and purchased three additional rolls to eventually replace the ones that have been permanently damaged from staining, worn from over use or accidentally thrown away. I have so many left from my original order that I haven't even opened the three packs I just purchased, to be honest, I just want them on hand in case more get thrown away. As far as durability, these towels are thick enough to wet and reuse several times, and I find that using them sanitize/bleach combination keeps them from developing any stains. I would say that 95% of the towels that I still have are as white as the day that I purchased them, and I use them for everything in the kitchen, so they get very dirty." —Geekette

It has heat-resistant handles!
Promising review: "This thing may seem like just an ordinary food-saver, but I assure you it will blow that thin plastic garbage out of the water. It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures. I'm a college student and I have never felt such joy from making ramen in my small dorm microwave. For a 900 watt, I recommend five minutes. Buy this product if you live and breathe air, because it is beautiful." —Theron

Promising review: "I didn't know these even existed until seeing them on an episode of Shark Tank. I gave them a try and wow! No more sweat spots. I have hyperhidrosis and sweat a lot, mostly in my armpits and hands. I would always sweat through my shirts, even with wearing an undershirt. With this shirt, I have yet to see any sweat spots. It fits well as an undershirt." —RoBroKnos
