    40 Home Gadgets That’ll Make Your Life A Whole Lot Easier

    There's a 12-in-1 oven in here you most certainly are going to want in your life.

    1. An instant-read digital thermometer, so you'll never have to guess "is my steak cooked?" again. You can grill with confidence!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Ordered this about 7 months ago. It works great for an instant read of a food's internal temperature. We use it all the time to check mostly meats, roast chicken, chicken breast, steak, pork roast, pork chops, salmon, etc. We want to make sure our food is cooked thoroughly to a safe minimum internal temperature, so that nobody gets sick. With this you don't have to over cook the food to be sure it's done. You can take it off the heat or out of the oven as soon as it gets to temp. This can be switched into Celsius or Fahrenheit." —Kathleen

    Get it from Amazon for $8.79.

    2. pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair.

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes adores this product:

    "I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds. 

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    3. A nifty Oxo Tot Grape Cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's (and yours, hehe) favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon.

    Watch a mom quartering grapes in a flash with this tool on TikTok.

    Oh, and it's not just for grapes! It's also perfect for cherry tomatoes, berries, olives, and many reviewers say it works on a variety of fruits!

    Promising review: "Outside of my husband and kids, buying this cutter is one of the best choices I’ve ever made. It has saved me SO much time in cutting up grapes, cherries, and cherry tomatoes for my toddler. It’s fun to use too. I only wish I had bought it sooner. I think my only minor complaint is that it’s not the easiest to clean because you can’t take it apart. Other than that, excellent little tool." —Annie

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    4. A SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher you'll likely want to buy for every single switch in your home (apologies) as you'll be able to use it to transform *any* device into a smart one! Once you set it up you'll be able to use Google, Alexa, or an app on your phone to control it. Technology, man.

    Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. I need to get one of these for my husband who drags himself out of bed every morning to turn on his espresso machine.

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

    Get it from Amazon for $29 (available in white and black). 

    5. A wall charger with six outlets and two USB ports in case you've managed to rack up *quite* a number of can't-live-without gadgets.

    I have this outlet set up in my bathroom and it's great! I'm able to keep my source of music plugged in (who doesn't enjoy a shower dance party?) even when I'm using my straightener or curling iron. It's a helpful nightlight at night so when I inevitably get up to pee I don't have to wince at the overhead lights.

    Promising review: "I work from home in a small apartment, and this really made my setup work the way I want it to. I need to use all six plugs; plus, I like to keep my phone and Mi-Fi charging while working too. This was the perfect thing for me to get everything plugged in and essentially retrofitted into a built-in apartment wall desk setup that was intended for the large desktop towers of the late '90s. I’m ordering a second one in hopes it transforms another part of my weird floor plan. Bonus: The USB ports seem to fast-charge my iPhone XS Max. I can go from dead to fully charged in about 90 minutes." —Moose

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

    6. cup rinser that'll make cleaning bottles, glasses, and mugs as easy as 1, 2, 3, which means you'll have more time to do more important things like practice that TikTok dance trend you've been itching to learn.

    Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line. Note that this won't install on sinks without a flat edge!  

    Promising review: "Never knew I needed one until I saw it on TikTok, and with water bottles and toddler cups it is essential to my household!" —Gayla Brink

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles). 

    7. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you see just how much dirt and gunk it pulls out of all the surfaces in your life. Forget about buying a new couch — your current one is about to look fresher than ever.

    gif of reviewer using the cleaner to make their couch cushion look brand new

    Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59

    8. toothbrush holder and dispenser, because mornings are hard enough to cope with so you might as well mount this bad boy and let it dispense your toothpaste for you. It's the little things!

    close up showing a toothbrush getting paste from the dispenser

    Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, cotton swabs, or flossers." —Sariyah J

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).

    9. A scrubber brush to attach to your drill (!!!) and help you clean your tub/shower like you've never cleaned it before but without the arm workout. You'll be singing "I've got the powerrrr" in no time!

    Reviewer using the brush to clean grime out of a tub

    The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. 

    Additionally, Drill Brush is a small business based in New York!

    Promising review: "I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved. Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+ year old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Just 10 minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" —Becky Adie

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six strength types).

    10. A Petcube, which is a reliable pet monitoring camera with a wide angle and night vision. Delightful if you're out and about but still want to keep an eye on your precious pup.

    Amazon

    Petcube is a Ukrainian-based small business that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products. It can send you instant notifications via its app and sync with Amazon Alexa.

    Promising review: "We have had the original Petcube for some time and have loved being able to see our furry friend (cat) when we are away. We had always talked about getting another one so that we could see more of her while we are traveling. Enter the new Petcube...a petite footprint with a wide-angle lens. Easy to set up and easy to use. Absolutely perfect." —NLVG

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    11. A 3-in-1 foldable magnetic wireless charger you can break out and charge your iPhone, Apple watch, and AirPods all in one! Talk about a gadget that's worth investing in.

    Check out a TikTok of the foldable 3-in-1 charger in action. 

    Promising review: "I use this product to charge my IPhone 13, AirPods, and Apple Watch. Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers don't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" —SBREDDY

    Get it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in nine colors). 

    12. An automatic cleaning toilet bowl cartridge to pop into the top of your tank — it'll last up to three months and clean with every single flush. Now that's a cleaning product worth testing out.

    Promising review: "This works absolutely phenomenal. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clock work to remove mold or something…Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Kohler new low flush systems…amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts either like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." —CdrW

    Get it from Amazon for $11.29 (and you can snag refill cartridges here).

    13. A rechargeable lighter, so you can light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambience without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! I'll never have to buy another lighter again. My first charge lasted me seven months!

    Promising review: "This is probably the coolest gadget I've ever purchased. I love using this to light candles. I haven't had to charge it since I bought it and charged it up initially, so I'd say the battery life is good. I got the pretty rose gold one and store it in my junk drawer in my kitchen. This would make a really fun gift or stocking stuffer. I would get this again and highly recommend it to other candle users." —Megan Elle

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 12 colors).

    14. bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll fantastically suck up all the dust and debris you sweep its way — Rosie from The Jetsons is shaking!!!

    GIF of reviewer sweeping dust into bagless vacuum

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in eight colors).

    15. mug warmer to keep on your nightstand so you can continue to sip on hot tea even if you completely forgot about it while getting a bit *too* invested in the bread week episode of The Great British Baking Show. No need to get out of bed and reheat it when you've already made yourself oh-so comfy!

    Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes can confirm this gadget is worth the money:

    "After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long. (Because yes, I'm one of those people who'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!) I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concaved-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person."

    Get it from Amazon for $19.79+ (available in seven colors).

    16. A Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum, complete with 10 tools and a ton of high-tech features (like a dust-highlighting laser!) your parents won't even know what to say when they see how incredibly it cleans.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    I have this incredible device and cannot stop raving about it! This baby is *packed* with features that continue to amaze me each time I take it for a spin. Seriously, it has a built-in laser feature that literally highlights dirt, dust, and debris as you clean! You can read my full review about this Dyson vacuum here.

    Promising review: "We bought this a couple of months ago, and has been great. A cordless vacuum will change how often you use it because it is so easy. It's great for stairs. I thought the laser thing was a little gimmicky until I started using it. It is disgusting! You can have your house professionally cleaned, and if you put the laser head on, you can see all the dust and pet hair that was missed. It came with a lot of attachments." —DerekP

    Get it from Amazon for $654.99.

    17. A Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced parents will be able to rely on to help them make their baby a bottle in a flash — which is *much* appreciated when they're screaming their head off because they've decided they're hungry. Can you imagine measuring out formula and water by hand and then warming it up on the stove??? Certainly not in this decade.

    a baby brezza formula advanced pro
    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life. 

    It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for my son’s bottle, depending on how recently he’s eaten sometimes we need only need 2 oz instead of 4 oz, etc. The bottle settings will stay in place so while my baby is screaming (he gets hangry!) I just have to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the “start” button. It’s so easy I can literally do it with one hand while holding him. 

    The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I just do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needs to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I have to do is ensure the formula container is filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we don’t have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don’t know what I’d do without it! 

    Get it from Baby Brezza for $184 (originally $229.99; available in two colors) or Amazon for $199 (originally $229.99; available in two styles).

    18. And a Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This one will automatically sterilize bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam. When it has its top on it quite literally looks like something from outer space that has landed on Earth to make your life easier.

    www.amazon.com, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed

    As a new mom I’m quickly learning what items are a necessity in my day-to-day, one of them absolutely being the Baby Brezza Sterilizer. 

    As an infant, my baby boy was going through about 12 bottles throughout the day/night, as he was eating about every 2–3 hours, which means I always needed to have the bottles and nipples clean and ready to go. “Back in the day,” as my parents and my in-laws have told me, you’d need to boil every part of the bottle in water on the stove. Who has time for that??? Certainly not me in 2022. Thanks to this sterilizer I don’t have to bother with any of that!

    After washing the bottles and nipples (I use Dapple’s lavender bottle soap and a Dr. Browns cleaning brush), I place each piece on the rack inside the sterilizer. Once it’s filled with six bottles, I remove the rack, pour filtered water into the bottom section of the sterilizer, replace the rack, pop its dome back on, and set it to sterilizer and dry for 30 minutes. It’s honestly fantastic and super easy to use. TBH, I’d say this is a must-have for anyone who formula feeds and breastfeeding mamas who also pump/use bottles. Added bonus? You can also use it to sterilize pacifiers and any breast pump parts. It’s a fantastic item for any parent, trust me.

    Get it from Amazon for $108.99.

    19. A smart door lock to make you feel like you're living inside an episode of Futurama each time you step up to it and use its touchscreen to unlock your front door.

    Amazon

    I got one of these and attached it to our side door in case any of our loved ones need to get into our home when we're not there. We'll be able to give them a temporary code to unlock the door and let themselves in.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my Alfred deadlock. Appearance-wise it has a sleek modern look that enhances the look of my doorway. Installing it was a breeze. Programming the Alfred is extremely simple too! The automatic lock is great especially for a forgetful kid like mine who doesn’t always remember to lock the door when he leaves. I also purchased the Z Wave which allows it to connect with my Ring security system. Having everything in one place make having a smart home so much easier! I have not experienced anything negative about this deadlock at all. Everything about the lock is amazing and I am completely happy with this purchase and will be recommending it to many!" —Lauren Jirele

    Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in four colors).

    20. A Logi Dock that'll impress anyone who works from home and is tired of their desk being cluttered by wires — this gadget will provide one easy location for them to plug their monitor, chargers, etc into while *also* acting as a speaker phone for their meetings!

    Logitech

    My husband has this gadget and it's been a lifesaver for him. He uses the same monitor/mouse/etc for both his self-built PC and with the Macbook he works off of, so it was always a hassle to switch between the two and have enough ports available for all the things he wanted to plug-in. This totally solved the problem! 

    Get it from Logitech for $199 (originally $399; available in two colors).

    21. A Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor, which uses patented sensor fusion technology to track baby's vitals and nursery conditions. We really are living in the future.

    Amazon, Amazon

    It also tracks your baby's breathing and sleeping patterns, plays sleep sounds and lullabies, and allows you to talk to them through a two-way microphone. This is the monitor I use in my son's room and I have been nothing but impressed with it. I love that I can pull it up on my phone at anytime in the night, that it shows his breathing in real time, and that it isn't an eyesore in his room. It also has a fun feature that lets you snap a screenshot of your baby when they're on camera — trust me, you'll find them in many silly poses you just might want to capture.

    Promising review: "This monitor is great! I'm so happy that I got it! The monitor was highly recommended by a number of friends. I was hesitant with the price, but it is 100% worth it. After ordering, it came very quickly, and was packaged nicely. I was so excited to unbox it. It was very easy to set up, and I had no issues connecting it to my internet. I was nervous about this, as many reviews mention it being challenging. The picture quality is very strong, even in night mode. I look forward to using it more, and the peace of mind that it will give me while my baby sleeps." —Stephanie Lawley

    Get it from Amazon for $420.

    22. Beast countertop blender that'll look gorgeous atop your kitchen counter but *also* become a treasured gadget by your entire family — it's designed to reduce vibrations and noise so anyone can make a smoothie first thing in the morning without worrying about disturbing everyone else.

    the white Beast blender
    Beast Health

    Former BuzzFeed writer Brittany Ross loves this blender:

    "I got this blender over the summer, and wow, as someone who had firmly decided I was an "I don't need a blender" person, I quickly changed my mind after the first use. For starters, it's not as large as those super industrial-strength blenders, and it's so aesthetically pleasing that I have it out on my counter at all times. Plus, it couldn't be easier to use — just fill the bowl with your ingredients, pulse, and in a matter of ~moments~ you'll have a perfectly uniform blend of whatever you're trying to blitz. I first tried it out on a smoothie made with frozen bananas and peaches (see it in action on TikTok here!) and it pulverized the icy fruit like a champ. Best of all? It's a total breeze to clean, which, if I'm being honest, was probably the biggest factor in my having waited so long to add a blender to my kitchen arsenal. I can't recommend it enough, 15/10, no notes."

    Get it from Beast Health for $140 (originally $165).

    23. A mini vacuum cleaner you won't be able to help but squeal with delight over. (It's kinda cute for a cleaning product, isn't it?) You can use it to clean your table after you've messily eaten a croissant for breakfast or suck up the unruly coffee grinds that inevitably wind up all over your countertops.

    Amazon

    I have one of these little gadgets and it's fantastic! I use it to clean up rogue crumbs off of my table cloth at the end of the day or after a particularly crumb-filled meal. My husband uses it to clean coffee particles off of our counters where he grinds his espresso beans. It's a handy lil' thing and so easy to use.

    Promising review: "If your child is hard on their pencil eraser, then this is perfect for you!!! Every day my daughter’s desk is covered with eraser scrapes, pencil lead etc. I saw this on TikTok and got her this as a joke but it ended up being amazing. With a swipe across her desk, it’s all gone and I don’t have to clean it up." —TrendyInIndy 

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in two colors and four styles).

    24. sunrise alarm clock to wake you up so pleasantly you'll forget that you're supposed to be cranky about heading off to work.

    The clock lit up with a warm yellow glow

    This lovely lil' gadget has seven different light settings, calming "wake up" noises, and can be set to gradually get brighter at 30, 20, or 10 minutes.

    Promising review: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer

    25. A Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother in case you prefer to sip on something a bit more decadent after rolling out of bed. You'll easily impress anyone who cares to join you for breakfast by taking their morning coffee to the next level with some frothy goodness.

    the black milk frother

    Promising review: "Bravo Nespresso! I can't rave enough about this item. The simplest and best milk frother I have aver seen. Our lattes and cappuccinos are simply fantastic now with the heated, frothed milk from this machine. I have an expensive Jura coffee maker and it does hot, frothed milk well but not as easy to use or as well frothed as this thing. I can make only the amount of milk I need with this, where I would have a big bulky stainless-steel canister on the counter all day for the Jura with milk I would never get to use so would throw away. Well worth the price if you like perfectly frothed milk. Simple to use too! One of the best items I have ever purchased!" —Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $68.94.

    26. A thin bar light to brighten your gaming area so you can happily continue to play hours and hours (AND HOURS) of World of Warcraft without your partner asking "are you still sitting in the dark?"

    Get it from Amazon for $109.

    27. An ever-popular Instant Pot with so many uses you'll need to take a deep breath before deciding what to make with it first. It'll make whipping up dinner so much easier — you won't know why you waited so long to get one!

    Promising review: "Perfect addition to the Instant Pot family. This little pot does the same incredible job as its bigger brother and sisters. Great for making the side dishes or smaller main dishes. If you haven't gotten on board the Instant Pot train, do not hesitate! This mini pot even makes yogurt. The benefits to pressure cooking are numerous, using the Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy. Can you tell I'm completely smitten with this little appliance?! It proudly sits on my counter and is used nearly every single day." —Prairie Princess

    Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

    29. Or an electric mini garlic chopper, in case the only thing you find yourself often needing to mince is cloves of garlic. Save time, keep vampires away, you know the drill.

    Promising review: "Finally I can effortlessly chop garlic, shallots, lemongrass, ginger, etc. thanks to this little helper. The design is sleek, elegant.

    30. Philips 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine with the capability to make iced coffee. regular coffee, espressos, cappucinos, and lattes at various strengths and volumes — magical.

    I recently started testing out this espresso machine and it's been fantastic. I have a Nespresso machine that I adore, but it's been a bit much having both that and a Keurig on my countertop. The Phillips machine is great because it has the capabilities of what multiple machines do but only takes up the room of one! All you really have to do is add coffee beans into the top (though it also has a place to add in ground beans if that's your preference) and make sure the water reservoir has enough to make yourself a high quality cup o' joe. I mostly prefer iced drinks, so I've been thrilled that this machine has an iced coffee option in addition to all the hot ones. My mom and sister, who have been staying with me for a bit and drink *a lot* of coffee throughout the morning, have been impressed with how simple the machine has been to use. No complaints whatsoever — it's worth the money, IMO!

    31. bagel guillotine, because if you're treating yourself to your favorite breakfast (is there anything better than a freshly toasted bagel???) you certainly shouldn't have to struggle to flawlessly cut it in half.

    Promising review: "My boyfriend can’t cut bagels. He literally butchers these poor baby bagels all up. I saw this on a TikTok and I was like 'oh we need that.' So I bought it. And it was a good investment. Now we can enjoy nicely sliced bagels that fit in a toaster and aren’t jagged across. Yay bagel slicer!" —Ci DiPalma

    32. A hand-powered chopper that'll have you slicing and dicing in literally seconds. If you can pull the cord on a Woody doll (you know, like from Toy Story) then, congratulations, you can chop an onion!

    Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia

    Promising review: "I love this little gadget. Believe it or not, I saw this on TikTok as an 'Amazon product you didn’t know you needed.' Since my older sons are on their own at college, they eat a lot of pre-packaged items. So we got one for each boy as a stocking stuffer. They were actually excited to try them out so the boys went in our pantry, opened new bags of chips and crackers just to re-seal them. Lol! It works pretty good for such a small device. The cutter even works so the bags that are mostly empty aren’t as big and don’t take up as much room. My husband wants one for our house now. Guess we’re getting another one." —Can7

    34. A 12-in-1 Ninja oven that'll function as an air fryer in addition to all the standard toaster oven features (ya'know baking, roasting, toasting, etc). If your kitchen counter space is limited, adding this gadget into the mix (and getting rid of others that do the same functions) will be a much easier decision than trying to figure out what to cook for dinner.

    I've been using this oven since April and it has honestly become SUCH a big part of my day-to-day. I always wanted to try using an air fryer, but never had enough counter space for multiple large appliances to be out all at once (I prioritized my coffee machine, OK?). This oven replaced my toaster and granted me access to so many more gadgets in one! Now that my son is a big fan of chicken nuggets (because, of course he is) we use the air fryer all the time. It heats things up quickly and efficiently and, honestly, I'm not sure how I lived so long without one. it's also great for re-heating leftovers or whipping up frozen meals. It's a must-have!

    Promising review: "Ninja has blown their competition out of the water with this Double Oven. I have a very picky toddler who literally lives on nuggets and fries. But my husband loves to cook and have delicious meals. This double oven does it all… AT ONCE! It air fries, it bakes, it roasts and more! The double oven comes with two sheet pans, one air fry basket. Two wire racks, a crumb tray and a recipe book. It was easy to get cooking right away. The instructions and recipes were easy to follow. Cooking at once with two different meals has never been so easy." —Littlmiss83

    Get it from Ninja Kitchen for $329 or Amazon for $249.95.

    35. And a motion-activated toilet light, a must-have for anyone who is tired of stumbling over themselves when they get up in the middle of the night to pee.

    Promising review: "I've had this device for a little while now and I absolutely love it! Light detector and motion detector work together to only turn the toilet light on when it senses darkness and movement. I love that there are 16 different colors you can choose from; and with each of the 16 colors, you can raise or lower the brightness, which kind of makes color choices even bigger if you consider the different color brightness a new color. You can either leave your toilet light cycling through all 16 colors while on, or you have the option of choosing one of the colors and keeping it on that color. I ended up getting two of these toilet lights for both of my bathrooms and my guest's as well as I love it." —Sergio Rios
