Wait, what's that sound? Oh, it's just my wallet sighing from across the room...
Folks, I own a pair of these and, let me tell you, I cannot say enough good things about them. These have been a *game-changer* during quarantine: Silencing any and all noise that comes from living with roommates, and the convenience of being able to take a call and leave my phone to charge in my bedroom while doing dishes in my kitchen is immeasurable. The 👏 range 👏 is 👏 astounding 👏. Not to mention the lack of wires — the amount of minutes I have gained from not having to play that wily untangling game. A godsend, honestly.
Promising review: "I have tried several 'cheaper' imitations of AirPods and they were just OK. I have been waiting to get these and let me tell you, I’m sold. THESE ARE GREAT! As soon as I got them, I had to try them out. First of all, they paired with my iPhone, almost instantly. It displays the charge of both the AirPods and the case on your phone, too! Super cool! I selected one of my favorite Classic Rock bands and started jamming. The sound quality was awesome! These have an excellent Bass response, too. These were an outstanding purchase for me. I’m so glad that I patiently waited for the AirPod 2s! I had been reading a lot of expert reviews about them. The original AirPods are good I have heard, but for several improvements these are even better. I definitely recommend them. I’m another satisfied listener and a very happy customer." —Todd B.

BuzzFeed Editor Bek O'Connell is lucky enough to have one of these and can be quoted as saying "Sometimes I just hold mine and sigh over how nice it is! Sorry if that's lame, but it is the truth. I am love with my pan."
Promising review: "This pan is EVERYTHING! I went from making pasta in the basket to steaming broccoli in it and then finishing my meal in there. Then I forgot about cleaning it because I’m lazy — and the non-stick cleaned up so easily. The sponge they include is incredible, I do all my dishes with it now. Also it looks really cute sitting on my stove all day." —Darby S.

Promising review: "My girlfriend is a barista, and I've always wanted to learn how to pour those beautiful lattes that she does. She recommended this machine after lengthy research, and we ended up splitting the cost so we could both have great coffee whenever we want. It makes a better cup of coffee than the $14,000 Italian machine she uses at work!! If you have the money, and want a really great home espresso machine, this is the one you want. Don't even look at any others, I promise you'll be happy. Check my review. I literally NEVER write them. This time, I felt I'd be doing the world a disservice by not raving about how awesome this machine is." —Wendell a stalnaker

Promising review: "Amazing comfort and selection of colors! Will definitely not be my last pair. I've been a fan since spring of last year and will never go back to cheap generic brands. Girlfriend Collective loves and supports different shapes and sizes and I couldn’t be more satisfied with helping Mother Earth in the process." —Olga M.

Speaking as someone who has tried a small sample of this and cannot stop thinking about it: (and trust me, I made that sample last until there were mere morsels left) I can attest, this stuff works wonders after just two uses. I have acne-scarred skin and have tried just about everything to blur the appearance of the gaping blemishes that have lived with me since my teens. So after giving this a try for a few nights, I found that the texture didn't irritate my face — which I'm always worried about since someone's skin is overly sensitive. It had a nice, but not overwhelming, scent, and left my cheeks feeling smooth and even-toned in the a.m. So thank you, skin gods, I will now be saving my precious pennies in order to treat myself to a full-sized bottle this year.
Promising review: "This serum has saved my skin! After I reached my forties I really began to see changes I wasn’t happy about. This serum has been just, wow... amazing. After using for just a month, I’m just amazed, my skin kinda glows and my makeup applies so much smoother. I had redness on my chin and cheeks, it is GONE. This is SO worth every penny and I’m so excited to see what the results will be with continued use." —mishflores

Promising review: "This is great for getting organized! My necklaces no longer are piled together or hanging on several different jewelry holders. This has saved me so much space from the holders and multiple jewelry boxes. It really just looks like a mirror stand instead of a jewelry box. I also love that it locks." —K. Patrick

Promising review: "IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Our household consists of four kids and two animals...the carpets came out not just clean but cleaner than when we have rented rug doctor shampooers! Some might think that having to refill the tank often is a negative but it was a wonderful visual reminder of how well this carpet cleaner works. Our high traffic area was disgusting and over due to be cleaned one pass and it was clean and fluffy again. I purchased with the Hoover deep cleaning solution, the smell is light and pleasant and truly a “deep clean”. I love how compact and lightweight it is, it will make maintaining the carpet easy. If you are considering other options DON’T. Buy this one now you will not regret it!" —Carmen Frey

The HP01 Pure Hot + Cool is a multi-functioning device that comes with a sealed HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of allergens — which makes this an ideal air purifier for allergies, pets, dust, pollen and mold spores. And! It keeps you warm during the winter and cool during the warmer months.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this Dyson fan. The blast is perfect on hot days, and for the size it will heat up an entire room during the winter months. I have purchased three of these now, for myself and family that also suffer from year round allergies. It makes a huge difference in air quality and results are experienced right away. My sister's house flooded and she started running this throughout the day to help control mold, the smell of sour carpet and mildew while her house was in demolition. She is also a believer! It is lightweight, portable, no cleaning necessary, pivots back and forth for direct the air flow, oscillates 70% and the remote is magnetic which was an ingenious idea (always knowing where it is at). For the price point and what it offers in air quality PLUS cooling or heating you, worth every penny!" —Dawndrew

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this coat! I just got it this year so I have not yet worn it in snow. It has gotten to 30-degrees Fahrenheit here in the Midwest and I wore this jacket with a thin long-sleeve tee and didn’t feel a bit cold! I have two big dogs that need a lot of exercise and LOVE snow/cold weather so this was needed! If you want a fitted coat, this is not it. This coat is down filled, has Sherpa in the hood (which I LOVE), and is super warm. I can wear a thick sweater under it without problem. It is a bit fitted at the hip area but the zippers on both sides are perfect and only unzipped half way helps this issue no problem. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COAT!" —Erin Doser

Promising review: "For $200+, this is a 5-star product. It was really easy to put together. It's a little firmer than what I usually like, but it's not uncomfortable. I even took a nap on it the other day. It was even a little bigger than I thought it would be. My family of three has plenty of room when we all sit on it." —Lindy M.

Promising review: "When my starter kit arrived, the sturdy box was the first clue these were not your mothers cleaning products. The bottles are beautiful, the packaging thoughtful and totally recyclable, the tablets worked flawlessly to create various cleaning formulas that work. Almost makes it a pleasure to clean. Very elegant and yet guilt free!" —Customer

Promising review: "The rainbow cake was a birthday cake for my son. He is active military. He posted a picture of how beautiful it was on Facebook.

After become increasingly ill over the last several years, it was a relief to have a diagnosis. I cannot believe all of the stuff that this little cleaner pulled out of my couch, pillows and mattress. I had even more come out the second time around. I will continue to vacuum them daily. I’m sitting on my couch for the first time in months without coughing!" —Victoria Jones

BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has one and says: "This is honest and truly the best splurge I have ever made. It has massively upgraded the look in my living room. My husband loves the photography options and I love all the classical paintings – as someone who loves changing up my decor, being able to update the display images has been so fun. The quality is fantastic while watching movies and TV...but I'm pretty sure I love it as a piece of art in my home even more."
Promising review: "It's 100% worth it. It has the same picture quality and functionality to other Samsung & LG TVs but the differentiator is the ArtMode function and yes, that's what you're paying for. It's completely matte and the quality is impressive. Everyone who has stepped into my living room has said 'nice painting' before I told them it's actually a TV — it's REALLY fun watching their facial expression as their brain comprehends that what they're staring at is not a painted picture. I am in love with this TV and would recommend it to anyone who wants a TV that doesn't look like a TV. Our goal was to purchase something that didn't take away from our stone wall fireplace, and this was just the thing. Five stars." —Masha

Promising review: "I'll be the first to admit, I don't write reviews. This may be, literally, my first one. All I can say is this is a game changer!! After a brief trip to Europe last year, my wife had been pushing for us to get one. Well, fast forward to the 2020 pandemic, no TP anywhere...it was time to buy the Tushy. I was hesitant, I'm not gonna lie. But then, it was as if I had been missing out on living for the past 32 years. You think I'm lying, I'm not. I've never felt cleaner. Buy this and you will thank me later." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is not a hard jumper to get in and out of. I have A LOT of onesies and stepping in through the neck is pretty standard stuff. This jumper is SO soft and looks great with a T under, turtleneck, or sweater. If you’re looking for your best at-home life, you want this jumper. I may or may not be on my third day in a row of wearing it. It rivals my Ilana Kohn jumper but if we’re being honest this ones better because it’s soooooo soft!!!! (And it’s about $200 cheaper!) If you’re reading this stop thinking it over and just do!" —Adeearl

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim, not totally convinced that it would be as great as everyone claimed it was. I’m in my late twenties and have struggled on and off with adult acne for years. I have combination skin that can get v oily on humid days, so that doesn’t do me any favors. I’ve been using this with the Glossier Milk Jelly face wash for the last 3 months, and my skin has never looked better. I haven’t had any breakouts in weeks, the texture of my skin is the smoothest it’s been in years. I’m completely sold on this. I use it twice a day on my face, and even use it with the La Roche-Posay Effaclar cleanser on my arms and shoulders when I’m having any small breakouts or KP flair ups. Overall great buy. I had sticker shock at first and considered going with the $30 alternative I saw floating around, but so happy I went with the real deal. Could not be happier." —Neen

It offers the capacity to make up to nine dozen cookies in a single batch and has 10 speeds to thoroughly mix, knead, and whip ingredients faster than you can say "On your mark, get set, BAKE!"
Promising review: I've been wanting a KitchenAid mixer for years, and they have been hard to find during the pandemic. I've already made cookies with the paddle attachment, and my first attempt at bread with the dough hook. Everything has come out so well, and it's easy to clean. I chose this model because I wanted a bowl lift design (rather than the tilt head) so I could keep it under my cabinets. The KitchenAid mixers are pricey, but they are great investment because they last for years." —roashann

As a devout user of the concentrate, I can safely say that this stuff has diminished my issues with painful ingrowing hairs. This particular set comes with a finger mitt — which I use every time I shower to buff away dead skin. And once I'm out and dry, I apply a couple drops of the concentrate — and hey presto, with regular use I've found that irritation thinks twice about making an appearance.
Promising review of the oil: "This is one of the best purchases I’ve made. I am an African American woman with very curly hair. I love getting waxed but had the worst hair bumps. I discovered this product and the hair bumps were gone after two days. The bottle is small but I can’t go without now. It’s the only thing that has worked for me. I highly recommend." —ambr78709

Promising review: "At first, I wasn’t completely sold on the bootie. I had eyed it for a while and then decided to go for it. What a wonderful decision that was! They are extremely comfortable and hug your feet as you stand and walk. The heel height is perfect for being on your feet many hours a day. The knit is soft and stretchy and made for true comfort. I would give these boots a 10-star rating if I could. Go ahead, treat yourself...Your feet will be so happy you did!" —ShoeLover4Ever

Promising review: "This sneaker is beautiful! They come in a crisp white hue and feel heavy/sturdy when you hold them. The full-grain leather feels luxuriously comfy; the waxed laces are an important touch; and even the logo is designed thoughtfully so as not to distract from the overall shoe. These shoes are versatile, high-quality, and built to last. This was my first time investing in a white pair of sneakers and I'm so happy I went with these!" —Taylor P.

Promising review: "Worth every penny! I have the hardest time falling asleep especially with everything going on — so I got this blanket to try and help calm my anxiety. Within two nights I was able to fall asleep and best of all stay asleep all night. I haven’t been able to do that...ever. I was worried about the investment, but I wish I would’ve bought this blanket a long time ago — you can’t put a price on good sleep and relaxation!" —Char G.

Promising review: "Well, Madewell has done it again and produced another one of my most favorite cross-body bags ever. It was love at first sight. The smooth and supple leather and color were more perfect than I could have imagined. I love the magnetic closure, which is more convenient than the zip closure as with my old Madewell bag, and the size is perfect to fit my Madewell leather pouch clutch wallet, Ray-Bans and case, a small zip bag with necessities, a small bottle of hand lotion and hand sanitizer, phone, keys, and an assortment of lip balms. It's SO cute and goes with EVERYTHING. Buy it, you won't be sorry." —Ksher

Get it from Amazon for $106.99.
I can report that since I received this as a gift last Christmas, I have not taken it off. Ok, ok, I begrudgingly slip it off every morning, but, honestly, I cannot wait to put it back on at night. The buttery soft fabric is no joke and the luxurious marble design might be my favorite part about it. I don't wake up with any creases on my face — which has been a consistent issue I've experienced with all other eye coverings. It's also an added bonus that this doesn't tug on my hair during the night. If I were to make one suggestion, though, it would be to choose a darker color if your eyes are *hyper-sensitive* to daylight in the morning like mine are, as this lighter colorway does let ~some~ light in on super bright, sunny days. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to rest their eyes on a pillowy soft, silky cushion.

Promising review: "Quiet and powerful vacuum. It recognizes stairs and won't fall, so you don't need any additional devices to keep it off the stairs. Needs to run at least two times to draw up an accurate map, and super to use after that! Once it's full (in the middle of the job) it empties itself and returns to continue the job. I love personalization — you can name your robot and on the app its shows "their" birthday. So cute. The quality of work is obvious and noticeable." —Tatiana

Promising review: "I was on the fence to buy these sheets for a long period of time and now I wish I had bought them much sooner! I sleep very hot, even on cold nights will wake up sweating even though I feel cold. These sheets took care of that. They keep you warm and comfortable but do not trap the heat inside causing you to overheat. Very soft and cozy if you like the feel of linen sheets as well. Highly recommend!" —Cale

This multipurpose device includes seven tips for disparate needs: three classic heads, one orthodontic, one plaque seeker for implants and other dental work, one Pik Pocket for periodontal pockets, and one toothbrush tip to manually brush as you water floss.
Promising review: "I'd heard about these things before but I never dreamed I would like having one so much. I've always hated manual flossing with a passion. This is so much nicer and I really enjoy keeping my teeth clean now. It's much more pleasant than pulling floss between my teeth. My teeth feel so much cleaner after I use this so I use it twice a day. I love it. It is a little noisy, but not bad. I wish I had gotten one years ago because I actually enjoy doing my teeth now instead of dreading it. I also like this size as it doesn't take up much space on the counter. It's light and easy to move around." —NtheNite

BuzzFeed Editor Hannah Loewentheil bought an air fryer during quarantine, and has zero regrets: "Friends of mine were raving about their new Instant Vortex Plus 6-in-1 Air Fryer, so after reading similar feedback on Amazon, I decided it looked like a winner. I figured I would be using this appliance primarily as air air fryer, but as an added bonus, it can also roast, broil, bake, re-heat, and dehydrate food. I've had this air fryer for about three weeks now, and I can honestly say it's become the hero of my kitchen. It preheats quickly, it's large enough to hold a good amount of food at once, it's easy to clean, and it makes food taste crispy on the outside and moist on the inside without any oil. I've been using my air fryer to make vegetables just about every night and it makes them taste so good. If you're cooking for kids, picky eaters, or you just don't get so excited about eating vegetables, the air fryer could be perfect for you. If you like chicken, the air fryer might change your life, and I don't mean that to be dramatic. The air fryer produces restaurant-quality chicken that tastes absurdly decadent, except there's no oil involved in the cooking — just air. Thanks to the air fryer, the chicken gets so crispy. I couldn't believe I made this at home!!"
