Promising review: "This product can be a major kitchen product if you have issues with odors in your garbage disposal. We eat a lot of cereals for breakfast and almost all are loaded with preservatives, which are like glue when they get wet. For two years, we could not get rid of a foul odor for more than a day or two. I purchased this as a last resort, but only expecting it to help a little. The first time I used it, I was amazed at how much gunk was brushed away and odor was reduced. " —C. D. Cornett

Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

People also use them in cars, closets, or wherever else needs a little *freshening up*!
Promising review: "My apartment came with a peculiar smell I could neither identify nor locate. I hung packets in the living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedroom closets and voilà — after a few days, problem solved. One or all of them together eliminated whatever was already present, and the apartment remains odor-free (cooking odors dissipate within a short time, too)." —Cecilia P

Promising review: "Really amazing stuff. I took two phone charging cords that were splitting — within another week they would’ve been in the trash — and completely salvaged them. Not pretty, but impressive. The product stayed put, maintain flexibility, and yet the cords are still working fine. Really amazing! Worth every penny. Product dried smooth, soft, not sticky or tacky, really ideal." —seashore6

I JUST WANT TO WATCH MY SHOWS. This has a whopping 144 pages, including tabbed alphabetical pages!
Promising review: "I finally have all of my usernames, passwords, account numbers, service providers, etc. all in one place. No more sticky notes and little pieces of ripped paper or resetting my passwords all the time to only forget and reset them again. I searched for a couple weeks until I decided on this particular book. It seemed to offer the best layout and amount of information I could log and hasn't disappointed me yet. I love it! You can even store internet service info for easy reference." —Elizabeth R.

This works with Alexa devices to let you make voice commands ("Alexa, turn on fan") through the Gosund app. You can also schedule controls, like turning off your slow cooker, so you don't have to worry all day.
Promising review: "Really love these. Got them on Prime Day and decided to add more to my home already. It’s nice to be able to schedule lights to power on and off at particular times. I have one connected to my hair tools to turn off in a certain amount of time as well. I’m always frantic when I forget and no longer an issue. Set-up was incredibly easy. There is a scan code on the box to download the app on your phone, or you can search by the company name in the App Store. Once I got past that it, was just a matter of renaming each and setting a schedule." —Amy M.

Promising review: "I love this product a lot. Super cute!! It’s very minimalistic and fits in my purse just fine. I have no worries about it opening in my bag because it snaps tightly, but isn’t hard to open at all. I would recommend this product to any contact-wearer!!" —Krystal

Promising review: "This glue is great. I thought I'd have to throw out my favorite sneakers. The toe soles were completely separated. I first sealed the sole edges with glue and let them dry overnight. Then I glued the edges together. I had to hold them together for 10-15 minutes. They dried in 48 hours and my sneakers are like new. It's now three weeks later and they're still good to go. Awesome product." —Kindle Customer

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 have been using mine for about two months. We have an almost 17-year-old dog who has accidents in the house. These are very absorbent. They rinse (I always rinse them after I clean up dog pee and then just toss them in the washer for the next load) and wash very very well. I wish I had bought them sooner. Absolutely worth the money. I have washed and dried them multiple times, though I prefer to hang them up to dry." —Animalfarm

Promising review: "These are surprisingly handy. We use them on our cast iron and stainless steel pots and pans since we've stopped using non-stick cookware. They clean super easily and take up zero storage space, which is convenient. We've used them for other random tasks like cleaning gunk off the the counter from the kids' snacks or art projects. Definitely handy." —J&CBaxter

Promising review: "This year I have been attending medical school interviews all over the country. I have ONE suit that I do not have the money to continuously dry clean between interviews. I bought these to keep with me when traveling so my suit remains pressed and fresh. I typically spray it and do not hot iron it (as it's time consuming and I have other things to worry about on interview day, like answer prep and transportation). Really does what it says, is great at keeping clothes crisp and nice-smelling, especially if you have a garment that wrinkles easily and you don't feel like ironing before each wear." —Taylor

When you're done with your aligner treatment, you can use it as a retainer case! You can also get an extra aligner removal tool so you don't chance losing the only one you have and...not eating the whole day. Nope.
Promising review: "This retainer case is strong and surprisingly heat-resistant. I accidentally left it in my car while I went to class and two hours later, I came back to my car and the case itself wasn’t even hot. My retainers were not in the case but it helps to know that if I did leave them accidentally in the case in my car, they won’t actually melt into putty." —rabailey90

This comes with one transmitter and four receivers. Once you press the remote, a receiver sound beeps and the items lights up. The remote's range reaches up to 30 METERS, so if you're one to throw your keys out the window, you're in luck.
Promising review: "Do you have kids? We have three of them. By the time I get home from a long day at work, sometimes I just need a little Netflix or Amazon Prime. Before I got these, there was this hellish period of 'you've got to be kidding me? What do you mean you don't remember where you put it?!?!'. Sure, we had a designated basket where the remotes should go, but they'd be under the couch, under a blanket, in the next room, etc. Now, all I do is click a button on the base remote and the fob chimes away and we have fun finding the cussed little devices. Sure, they still end up in every conceivable unusual spot, but now we can find them." —UkuleleJoe

Plus, it feeds your wood protective carnauba wax and beeswax to give it some ~luster~ and extend its lifetime.
Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever. It was dry, dirty, and not much to look at. I used this product on it and the oak wood literally came alive, showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel, just a fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski

It has four sides: one to clean heavier scuff marks and stains, one to gently clean fine suede and light scuff marks, one to clean rounded corners, and one to clean hard-to-reach crevices and grooves.
Promising review: "I was really sad when I thought my bucks were at the end of their road, because I had always heard that suede couldn't be cleaned. With this brush and a little elbow grease my bucks are looking great again! I didn't use any water or cleaner, I just kept wiping the brush off on my jeans to keep the brush clean, then hit the shoe again with a clean surface. It even brightened the leather up a bit." —Roberto

They even fit around your seat belts and move with the seats if you adjust them!
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat!" —Tessa Forbes

Promising review: "I wish I would have gotten these sooner. I bought strawberries for my children, and then I forgot about them. I found them in the back of the refrigerator almost TWO WEEKS later, and they were still good. The real miracle is how long it keeps zucchini. Zucchini starts to get mushy in the crisper drawer after just a few days. Again, these miracle containers have kept it fresh for close to two weeks now. I've kept cut lettuce, cut cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, zucchini, sliced bell peppers, strawberries, blackberries, cut jicama, and carrots in these containers. I've had fantastic results with all of them." —Laura

This just brought up memories of me trying to drive to school with snow all over the windshield, and I really hope I'm not alone on that. This comes with four magnets to keep the cover down!
Promising review: "I just recently bought this product and it definitely lives up to my expectations. It has been windy all day and it has stayed on no problem. I have a Chevy sonic and it completely covers the windshield. I'd expect it to fit a much larger windshield, too. It keeps the snow off." —Shelby

It includes four snap-off screws, one screwdriver, and one convenient carrying tube.
Promising review: "In less than five minutes, I have glasses again. I still had my original screw and I even had a tiny screwdriver for eyeglasses, but because the barrels couldn't align straight anymore, it was impossible for me to get the tiny screw through the holes with my fingers. But one of the screws in this kit worked perfectly." —Danielle L. Petty

This boasts a totally spill-proof lid (thanks to its vacuum insulation technology) AND keeps your drinks hot for up to five hours and cold up to 12 hours! Plus, it makes drinking with one hand (hello, driving) easy, courtesy of its big button to open.
Promising review: "This is thee BEST creation ever and I don't know why I didn't purchase one earlier in life! This cup is 100% spill-proof and is ever so conducive to my daily lifestyle. I live in NY and the busy train traffic causes me to have to use my hands sometimes and I can't, because I have to hold my morning brew. This cup makes that so much easier to toss in my purse without worry of spilling the substance. The lock feature gives that extra sense of safety that if the button autoseal button is accidentally pressed nothing will spill." —Pea

It includes a 2-by-80-inch roll you can easily cut with scissors! Plus, it has three layers to make this v strong.
Promising review: "I have used this in two places so far. One was a small hole in a window screen. The other a very large hole in a screen door. I used a small patch for the first and three pieces on the other. It works great so far — sticks well and easily. It doesn't exactly blend in, but gets the job done great. Seeing as the screen door is because my dog scratches doors to go outside, I anticipate many future uses! It's much better alternative than replacing the whole screen — very affordable solution." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie Nolen

Promising review: "This is an awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything, because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if it's not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

It comes with a case for every day of the week.
Promising review: "I love this. I used to forget whether I had already taken my twice-a-day pill or not and I'd have to dump out all my pills, count them, look at the calendar, heck — I even once made a spreadsheet to try and figure out if I had taken my pill that day. Not anymore!! I love the colors and design, and especially love that I can bring one or two day's worth of pills in the smaller containers in my purse without bringing the whole thing. This small thing has reduced stress in my life." —E. Trimber

Promising review: "After using this, my hair has great volume and it doesn't look greasy at all. I have very fine, blonde hair. My hair gets greasy so fast, I'm amazed at how well this works and very impressed. The bottle is tiny, but you will be surprised how little you need to use. It will last you several months. It has a very light lavender smell and is not overpowering at all. If you want a more natural approach, definitely give this a try!" —Amazon Customer

It also deodorizes any gifts your pet might have left you (and it's biodegradable and non-toxic, so your furry friend is totally safe).
Promising review: "I was very skeptical of the ratings. I just have to say they’re accurate. I had a room that had housed some pets while we were away at work and over many years accidents happened. When you’re not there to clean it up right away, the carpet gets stained. I had used carpet cleaners with all kinds of recommended cleaners, but it just didn’t have an impact. After using up the last of another cleaner I had I finally opened this one. The pictures (above) are just after some light spot cleaning and one round with the carpet cleaner." —Kristen K

They're also great for using after a workout if you don't have time to shower! They feature tea tree oil and peppermint to help you feel refreshed even when you, well, weren't a couple minutes ago. Plus, they're alcohol-free and hypoallergenic, so they're great for sensitive skin!
Promising review: "I wish I had a funny review here, but B.O. is no joke! I work out hard, I sweat hard, and sweat stinks! I also run my own incredibly busy business and have two small kids. Every minute of my day counts and showering early in the day is a luxury that I don’t always get to indulge in! But that leaves me smelling 'straight out the locker room' for a large part of my day before I get to shower — no good! Enter these — they're a game changer! I work out, sweat like a boss, wipe down, and voila: no longer offensive! In fact, I actually smell and feel fresh! Big fan!" —Anna Palestis Frenkel

This kit contains spackle, primer, a putty knife, and sanding pad!
Promising review: "I slipped in the shower the other day and grabbed my towel bar outside of it as to not die. Doing so, I ripped the bar off of the wall, including the screws and anchors, so I had four small but kind of nasty holes in my wall. I've never done any sort of drywall repair/spackling/etc, and I figure for under $10 with all I could need, this would do the job. I applied the spackle, smoothed it with the flat end of the tube, and allowed it to dry. I was able to sand it smooth and then paint over the spackle. It looks fine now. I give it a five for convenience." —John J. Connelly Jr.

Promising review: "This product is great! All their products are great! But this new product they have developed knocks it out of the ball park! The pictures (above) are pictures of a 2007 Nissan Titan truck I was detailing for a customer. The seats were disgusting and stained. I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL I USED WAS CAR GUYS SUPER CLEANER to clean the seats. I simply sprayed this all over the seat until it was damp, scrubbed with a detail brush, then vacuumed all of it up and dried it with a microfiber. The results speak for themselves. This really is a SUPER CLEANER that is capable of cleaning mostly every interior surface and does an amazing job at it!" —Joseph L.

It's popular for cleaning pet hair, too! The natural rubber bristles attract fur on multiple surfaces, like carpet, tile, hardwood, and linoleum AND the built-in rubber squeegee (aka the thing you use on your windshield) is great for cleaning windows and spills.
Promising review: "This is by far my favorite broom! I am a little obsessive about cleaning and this does so much! It gets the dog hair that is invisible to my eyes, it finds dirt that is super fine, and it goes from room to room without any issues! Cat hair on the carpet? This gets it off! Crumbs from dinner on the tile floor? This finds it! Spill water on the hardwood? No problem! I buy everyone one of these and I've only ever heard great things from them too!" —I Spend Too Much Money

It helps set financial goals, strategize, track savings, track debt, and plan out spending by month. It even has extra space for holiday budgeting and an annual summary to track your progress throughout the year. You can also keep receipts and bills in its pocket!
Promising review: "I have struggled with budgeting my entire adult life. I have made many resolutions that I was going to keep track of my spending and that I was going to plan for the future, but the resolution has fallen apart for many reasons, not the least of which was not having a way to keep track with which I was comfortable. This allows me plenty of space at the front to name my budget goals, and to keep track of my progress. Rather than seeing a budget as a life-time thing, which I think is what makes it hard for me to commit to it on a daily basis, this provides me with plenty of motivation to keep going from day to day and beyond. Budgeting now makes much more sense in my life." —Lorraine Berry

Promising review: "This works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and the sliding dish trays were tough to pull out or push in, there was detergent build-up all over the inside, and there was a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors, or build-up around the door seals. I'm going to be buying Affresh from now on, and hopefully it will extend the life of my dishwasher." —Martoune
