Promising review: "For someone with mild ADD or anxiety as I have, this was life changing. It seems silly, but for anyone with a busy life or just stressed anyway, this is one of the simplest, most valuable things I can think of. Beyond that, have 5-starred it because I've had one for 18 months and can't find any flaw or way the product can be improved. It's simple and does what it's supposed to." —Adrian J Gell

Promising review: "This shoe rack is awesome! Made a huge difference in my closet space with how many pairs of shoes I have. Very simple to put together. I put all my boots and taller shoes on the top and everything else fit nicely underneath. Fits a lot of shoes compared to other racks I've looked at and is great quality for the price! 5 stars." —Hotshot2567

Promising review: "I have owned many planners (I can't live without one) and I am very picky. But I have to say this planner has to be one of my favorites! The cover is super cute and simple, and I love that it is a solid hardcover. The size of this planner is perfect and there's plenty of room to write it in. I would say this is a large, thick planner so if you're looking for one to stick in your purse, this isn't it. The stickers are adorable and they came in great condition. Each month has a different picture or theme, which is fun. I love the overall color/theme and all of the art in this planner, and it is very neat and organized. It came with no flaws, and I have no complaints. Very happy!" —Carissa Jean

There is NOTHING more irritating than gnats or any other tiny insects invading your home. I have these Sticky Stakes in every potted plant I own and they actually really work! Each pack comes with seven traps, so feel free to stock up.
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. Unfortunately I added a new house plant, plus repotted one that had outgrown its prior home, and we are wrapped up in them again. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

Promising review: "I purposely waited a while to do this review. I wanted to use the bags several times so I had a good idea of how good/bad they really are. I love them! I use the smaller ones for my bras/lingerie and they work beautifully. Very fine mesh, so hooks, etc. don't snag on anything. Zippers are strong heavy duty plastic, and are working quite well. I would highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed." —BJP

Honestly, no matter which version of the Dyson stick vacuum you purchase, I can promise you'll be satisfied with the results. I've used a variety of 'em and I can't say enough good things about the product. It doesn't hurt my back to use for an extended period of the time, the battery lasts long enough to clean my entire apartment, and it simply just WORKS. We have ours mounted in a narrow spot alongside our fridge — it's really easy to keep in plain sight without being an eyesore.
Promising review: "I love this vacuum. The V10 doesn't disappoint. While it's weird to get used to holding this tiny piece of machinery, it really does an amazing job. It was incredible how much dog fur it picked up! I was pretty grossed out to be honest, to think I lived in this atmosphere for this long 'thinking' it was clean is nuts! I love all the attachments too, they are all top notch and well made. I feel like I can tackle my entire house with this bad boy. AND it's lightweight! I use it on the lowest setting and it still picks up a ton. I don't think I'll ever need the high or medium setting. But I did try the highest setting for a few seconds and literally felt like the vacuum was ATTACHED to the floor, that's how hard it sucked (in a good way)!" —Matthew Mintun

Promising review: "I had no idea I'd love Alexa so much — I wake up in the morning and she does the routine I've set up, and she's so comforting and useful and fun overall. My husband and I played Skills trivia games for hours last night. If we had kids it would be even more super useful (kids workouts, stories, games) — we even had a goodnight story read to us by Alexa and it was awesome. I'm really loving it. The Echo Dot itself is pretty great — the sound quality is pretty good, the bass when turned up is not that great, but if you really want to rock out you can connect it to other speakers or just use something else instead. I'm really surprised by how much I like the Alexa app (and the Echo Dot), because I'm a little resistant to technology, but it's pretty easy to figure out and feels like a new little buddy in the home. I'm excited to get some SmartHome stuff now so I can turn on/off lights, heat, etc. Really cool, though, overall — I feel like Judy Jetson!" —Leah

Promising review: "This is an amazing product. I was able to pack all my 3-year-old son's clothes in the small cube. I used the large cubes to pack all the adults clothes. Everything fit neatly into a small suitcase. I was blown away by how smoothly it made packing and kept us organized during vacation." —Tiffani Herzog

Promising review: "I'm a Sorel lover and when I saw the two-tone color option of these wedges I knew I had to have them. They fit great! I'm usually a 7-7.5 and went with the 7.5 to have enough room for thick socks and they fit perfectly. They were a little stiff putting them on the first time, but with continued use they will loosen. I've already got a couple pairs of Sorel and find these to fit similarly to the others. The wedge is comfortable to walk in, the arch support is great, and I love that the leather is waterproof so I can wear them all season long. I agree with the other reviews in that they're a tad narrow, so wider feet may be tricky. I'm a very satisfied customer and highly recommend these :)" —Anonymous

Promising review: "I love this flatware! Seriously amazing deal, just a ridiculously good value, so I figured I would order a set because I had three mismatched sets of flatware in my drawer. These pieces are much heavier and sturdier and better quality than my previous flatware was, including the Oneida set that was my 'nicer' stuff. And the matching set of serving pieces are so nice. I don’t feel embarrassed about my mismatched forks and spoons anymore, these are nice enough for guests and sturdy enough for every day. Love it!" —evs

Promising review: "We got these blackout curtains for the bedroom because our baby will not sleep until the sun starts to set (which doesn't currently start until after 8 p.m. where we are). So we got these curtains hoping we could trick her into going to bed at a reasonable time. Let me tell ya', they work better than I ever imagined! There are some small light leaks around the sides and top of the curtains, but that has everything to do with our installation. The curtains themselves block 100% of the sunlight coming through the window. Since installing them, we've been able to get our daughter to sleep on time every night and have gotten her to take much longer naps in the darkened room. The curtains themselves are very sturdy and the color (which is gorgeous) is true to the item photos." —Linzy Schroeder

Promising review: "This dry shampoo is amazing. I have fine dirty blond hair that easily shows grease. My entire life I have always had to shower every morning in order to keep my hair looking clean throughout the whole day. I recently decided to try washing my hair every other day and using dry shampoo to avoid looking greasy. I decided to try Batiste and instantly fell in love. My hair looks flawless on day two after using dry shampoo. Unlike other brands I've tried, I completely forget this is in my hair as it actually feels cleans instead of feeling like dirty hair that is pretending to be clean. I decided to see if I could push my luck and get a third day out of the dry shampoo and it turns out I can! My hair still looked decent (although not perfect) on day three." —KR

Promising review: "Oh...my...soul. This product is a miracle. I have VERY blister-prone feet, and it is so difficult for me to find shoes that don't rub me raw (I'm talking every kind of shoe — flats, sandals, heels, tennis shoes, etc.). I bought new water shoes that were supposed to be amazing for your feet, and they felt great when I tried them on, but the first time I wore them I had a blister on my heel within 30 minutes. (And I wasn't even in the water! Just walking around the house.) I went online and bought this product that night. Let me tell you, the next time I wore those water shoes with this product...NO blisters, AT ALL. Not even a sore spot!! I am in awe. I've now tried this product with several other shoes that used to rub me as well, and same thing! This is my new best friend. Thank you, SportShield!" —Matthew Leonard

Promising review: "I love these. Out of the blue I developed some pain that I assumed was plantar fasciitis. I was dreading wearing clunky shoes and insoles around the house. Enter these bizarre little bands. Whatever hocus pocus is going on here, I'm a believer. I wore them faithfully for a week or so and my pain is gone. Maybe they aren't for everyone, but they sure worked for me." —frankenmuth

Promising review: "A great set of 2-pound, 3-pound, and 5-pound dumbbells that's perfect for some light workout exercises at home. The grip around the dumbbell is quite nice and it's made out of synthetic rubber. Honestly the best thing about this product is its price. The set is a lot cheaper than any local sports or supermarket store. The only negative thing I have to say about this product is the stand. It's made out of cheaper plastic and flimsy, but it does the job so I'm not complaining too hard about it." —AmazonMunchies

Promising review: "My husband loves to cook. We have two very small children, so while his meals are mostly yummy, they are also sometimes burnt. :) This was perfect for him. He's able to turn it on, run into the next room to save the day with a plastic bag and a washcloth for whatever blowout-esque mess I'm dealing with, forget he's cooking, run back into the kitchen frantically when he remembers, and arrive only to find the meal practically cooking itself. Best. Gift. Ever." —Jake the ChefturnedDaddy

Promising review: "Life changing sounds a bit exaggerated, but not for me! I hated curling my hair — it took so much time, I couldn't quite get the 'wrist twist' down with my straightener, my curls never seemed to last, the time it took just wasn't work it. I actually WANT to curl my hair now! It's quick, easy to use, and my curls last! You don't have to worry about twisting your arm up and around your head, while contorting to get that perfect curl. You seriously don't even need to do much of anything. It even alerts you when the curl is done. I mean, how much more simple could it get?! I'm so pleased with this product, I've told several of my friends about it." —Stephanie Overstreet

Promising review: "First, I will tell anyone who is looking at this skillet to purchase immediately. Ignore the negative reviews!!!! I don't work for Macy's but I have to say that it appears that the negative feedback comes from folks who do not know how to take care of a cast iron skillet. I use my cast iron skillets to make southern cornbread, to fry fish (fresh fish), to fry chicken etc. THE BIG PROBLEM with the folks who left the negative reviews appears to be that they do not understand that a cast iron skillet of any brand has to be seasoned with vegetable oil after every washing or it will rust. Wash and dry it by hand. No dishwasher! This is a CAST IRON skillet; solid to the core, not a non-stick flimsy 'teflon' coated skillet. There is not a cast iron skillet on the planet that won't rust if you do not season it after washing." —Danniefaye

Promising review: "This is my first Amazon review but I just absolutely love these. While not the worst case closet scenario, I have had those basic plastic white hangers that sag and break for as long as I can remember and after collecting what seems like a lifetime supply of them, I finally I bit the bullet and replaced them all with something more suited for an adult. These are so thin, wonderfully uniform, and just classic/classy looking; I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. They're sturdy and perfectly non-slip thus far." —ctf

Promising review: "I have recommended this product to quite a few people already. I bought this in June and the elastic is still just as springy as it was new. I keep four cards in it with a metal plate to attach to my magnetic car mount and that's pretty much the capacity. It retains the cards well and has never once even come close to having one of them slip out by accident. The adhesive backing must be made out of superglue. I have a Lifeproof case on my phone and regularly go kayaking, four-wheeling, and other rough-and-tumble activities and it hasn't peeled or anything. I will be buying another one when I get a new phone. It's also VERY nice not having to carry my wallet anymore. I have noticed a large relief to some minor but regular back pain since I got rid of the wallet. I couldn't ask for more." —AmazonCustomer82

Billie is a fantastic subscription service that let's you choose how often you need your razor refills then delivers them right to your doorstep. I recently tried my first Billie razor and, OMG, my legs have never been smoother. My coworker Rachel Dunkel is also a BIG fan of Billie razors and their other products. Here's what she had to say:
"For the last five years or so, I haven't cared that much about shaving. I'd let my legs and pits grow into a (beautiful!) forest, but whenever I craved a nice, smooth shave and picked up a razor from the drugstore, I'd end up disappointed. Even with more expensive razor brands, I'd still be prickly and end up regretting ever shaving in the first place. I have never, ever had that problem with Billie. Ever since trying their razors and shave cream, I've actually *wanted* to keep up with shaving. You get a ridiculously smooth result on the first go, even if your hair is super grown out. But most importantly, it STAYS that way for way longer than with other brands. With Billie, it actually feels worth the time and money to shave, something that I could never say about any other razor."

I have one of these bad boys and can validate that it is SO easy to use. I pop my phone into it when I get in the shower and click the lil' button on the front to start the cleaning process. You can also charge your phone while it's inside the machine. Fellow germaphobes — you can thank me later.

Promising review: "I've been using these sheets for a few weeks now and I can absolutely say that they are my favorite sheets ever. I don't know what unicorn this fabric was harvested from, but it's so incredibly soft. It's already 90 degrees here and I'm not finding them too warm at night. I've washed them and thrown them in the dryer and so far so good on not showing any signs of wear. The other thing I like is that they're pretty deep, so they actually fit well on our memory foam mattress. I can't believe the price; I really didn't know what I was expecting for that price point but I'm am so shockingly pleased. I'm ordering a second set for my bed and replacing both my sons' beds with these sheets." —Heather B.

I finally searched for a solution and came across these. They’re great! They’re really easy to stick on and they stay in place. I haven’t had an issue of them falling off.

The waste compartment fills up quickly and will start clogging the blades if not emptied frequently. I will share one trick I found for emptying the area around the blades. Remove the waste compartment and hold the unit vertically over a garbage can while turning the defuzzer on. Blades will spin and the rest of the pills will fall out. Enjoy." —Fine Print Reader

Do you boast about being a minimalist? Or maybe you just have ZERO counter space? Then the Quip might just be the toothbrush of your dreams. (It's even our BuzzFeed Reviews affordable pick for best electric toothbrush.) It has a three-month battery life, comes with a wall mount and travel case, and is super quiet during use. I personally own it (the rose gold one is gorg), my mom has one, AND my father-in-law. We're all happy as can be!
Promising review: "I truly love this toothbrush, feels great when done. Like the fact that it tells you when to move to the next quadrant. People in general do not take the two minutes to brush their teeth, much less concentrate on each quadrant and change the brush every three months. Anyway, I love it and will recommend it." —Maria S.

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 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 guests, as well as I, love it." —Sergio Rios

Promising review: "I have NO idea why this product would ever have less than a five-star review. It is a great brush set — I used all three in an effort to get some mildew stains off the grout in my shower. NOTHING worked, but a bit of Soft Scrub (bleach) and these brushes worked like a charm! I then used the larger brush on the floor of the shower, and to remove some soap scum from the glass shower doors. WOW! Where has this been all my life?! Excellent product, works like it should in conjunction with your power drill." —SomeGirl

Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. If you're particular about egg yolks like me and like them soft but not runny or raw, I've attached an image of a perfectly soft-boiled egg that was cooked as directed (I timed it, this one was 11 minutes. You don't have to time it at all as the buzzer will go off, just for reference). Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in there...peels come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning!

Promising review: "Ok so I was skeptical but figured I would try it. I used it to go over existing stone grout previous owner had in the kitchen. I first did one square to see the difference and it was perfect so I continued on. One small pen finished half my kitchen and slider area. I ordered more because I will be doing it twice and then will be going over it with a clear sealant I found in Lowes. Really brightened up my kitchen floor and will also be doing the grout on kitchen backsplash. I also ordered the white which I will be going over with on the bathroom tiles. Love this product!" —Liz

Promising review: "I'm having a blast with this miniature Magic 8 Ball. It sits on the table by my recliner for easy access. With it, I'm now free of the majority of decision-making in my life which relieves me of any stress, anxiety, or uncertainty that might come over me at any moment. I no longer have to take any responsibility for my actions; I can just blame it on the 8 Ball. It fits easily into almost any sized pocket, so, if I'm going out, I can take it along and let it play the same role in my life. This ability to take my new decision-maker with me in smaller form is great! It's a nice return to my childhood, inexpensive, and a much-needed reprieve from the stress of our contemporary society.
