The mixer comes with a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, a six-wire whip, and a pouring shield. The 5-quart stainless-steel bowl can mix dough for nine dozen cookies or four loaves of bread in a single batch!
Promising review: "Hands-down this is the best blender on the market. It has multiple tools which enables you to do many tasks in the kitchen. The mixing capability is superior to all other mixers, especially the old hand-held models. This mixes everything so well that now it's hard to make a mistake when blending things because it does such a great job. It's quiet, and you can set it and go attend to other tasks while it works away." —Tie Dye John

Promising review: "This works great. It chops the garlic just right and fast. It showed up early too, so I had to run out for garlic to test it out. It's much easier to clean than my previous solution." —Chase Scene

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 and 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... fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski

Promising review: "Makes cleaning so easy! It was actually a lot bigger than I had figured so that was a great surprise. I added white vinegar and water and put it in for eight minutes. I didn't let anything cool off, I just wiped everything down. It made what would normally be a 15-minute scrub job into a two-minute wipe off job." —Michelle Tenney

Promising review: "Vegans have lots of slicing needs. I can't tell you how many hours of my life I've wasted using a knife when I could have been using this! You get five pre-set options, and it's also really safe, from the chunky rubbery handle to the very huge handguard (which, due to its awesome design, will take an onion right down to the thinnest bit of base plate!). AND you can just rinse the whole thing under the faucet, no need to take it apart and scrub it, everything just glides right off with water, stick it in the dish rack, and you're done. It's easy to change the few parts it has without slicing yourself to bits, and it's nearly impossible to make a mistake that would harm you. The rubber feet keep it from going anywhere. You can slice right over a pot or bowl if you want and it is easy to hold in place with one hand. Awesome product, so happy." –Ben There Donethat

Promising review: "These are great! I purchased the white labels and they are so easy to read and use. I stained a couple of paint sticks from the paint store and screwed them to the door, and then used Command hooks to hang the cups." —Jennifer Blalock

Promising review: "I've been cooking and utilizing what I had on hand in addition to my cutting board, to stabilize and sort the ingredients. I feel as though I've received the best gift ever, in this multifunctional cutting board set. Cutting, sorting, grating, and measuring all from one device is a chef's dream. Having this has enhanced my kitchen tools immensely. Especially since the trays stack and store directly onto the board, and it's dishwasher-friendly." —multitalented1

Each one will last a just week or two, and just cut it into small pieces when you're ready to compost it!
Promising review: "These sponges are the best scrub sponges for any category — regular or eco-friendly. They are very absorbent and the scrub side is excellent at getting to hard, crusted-on food. They are very sturdy and durable. I like them so much I don't want to throw away. Every week they get put in the dishwasher and come out smelling and looking as good as the first time I used them. I am very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend!" —shortnsweet

Promising review: "This is the perfect addition to my new kitchen to get my many teas off the counter and out of sight, yet easily accessible. It’s sturdy plastic and it fits exactly between the two trims on the inside of my cabinet. Many asked my question — can you mount it? Yes! The back is flat so I purchased doubled-sided mounting tape and, voila!" —2Bounders

Promising review: "This is a great use for wasted space in the front of your sink. It gives you an added space for sponges and even a safe place to keep jewelry while washing dishes. The pull down feature is very easy to use. It would also be a great place to hide valuables. Very unsuspecting." —Katie Gick

Promising review: "I needed a spoon rest, but couldn't find one that looked like something that would fit my kitchen. Then I saw this one. It doesn't really fit my kitchen either, but how could I not buy this cool spoon rest? Whenever someone first sees it on my stove, they think it's real ravioli, haha. Oh yeah, it's also functional. It gives utensils a nice rest, and it hasn't burned nor melted." —Kesa

Promising review: "I've tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren't usually dishwasher safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky they are very easy to clean and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices." —Megan A.

This set includes an 8-inch fry pan, 9.5-inch fry pan, 1.5-quart saucepan with glass lid, 2.5-quart saucepan with glass lid, 3-quart sauté pan with glass lid, 6- quart stockpot with glass lid, a slotted turner, a serving spoon with measuring marks, three ceramic bowls, and a recipe booklet.
Promising review: "This is my first set of ceramic cookware, and I LOVE it! The nonstick ceramic on these pots and pans is nothing short of amazing. I can fry sausage and bacon in the pan, let the leftover grease set on, and even cool in the pans, and it still comes completely off by just using the sink sprayer. Same for mac and cheese that has cooled and sat in the sink overnight in a pot. Just sprays right off. All of the insides are white, so it's very easy to tell the cleanliness of them. The pans cook evenly all over, but definitely much hotter than a regular pan. The first time I made burgers, I burnt them but got it right the second time around. They are dishwasher safe, but I never use the dishwasher for pots and pans, as it usually breaks them down faster. I always just handwash, but that's just my preference." —lexkyguy

You can install this filtration system without any tools, and it will reduce 99% of any water contaminants such as chlorine, lead, and asbestos. Not to mention it will eliminate the need for single-use water bottles!
Promising review: "Very easy to install — far less complicated than the Pur filter we had previously. Because it screws directly onto the faucet, the mount is sturdy. It's a more compact design and provides the option for the unfiltered water to be a spray in addition to a smooth flow. Water tastes great — removes the slightly 'off' taste that our public water contains." —S. LaCour

Promising review: "Love this new garden! It's my fourth AeroGarden and they just keep getting better. This one has a very sleek design and takes up less space than I thought it would without sacrificing grow space or water capacity. Set up was a breeze with the display walking me through the steps. I love that on their larger gardens you can set the time on the garden, plus this one is wifi enabled so I can keep track of my garden's needs on my phone! My favorite new feature though is vacation mode, which will slow down the light and water use so I don't have to worry about my plants so much when I'm out of town. I can't wait for my plants to grow. I recommend it!!" —Ted
