Promising review: "This is just what I wanted! Great for a scalp massage. I wanted a product that would not pull my hair, and did not have hard, plastic seams, to pull or damage my hair. This is it! Very relaxing, to use. It is light, and comfortable to hold. I don't have to worry about straining my hands trying to grip this. I can control the amount of pressure perfectly without scratching my scalp. I bought one for my mom, and two for me! Love these. Great gift, for the natural hair enthusiast, or anyone looking for a nonmotorized scalp massager." —BunnyLove2

Promising review: "This scale has been immensely helpful in my weight loss journey (that is the reason I purchased it). It has made meal prepping and portion control almost idiot-proof. It's hard to overeat when the number is staring you in the face. The metal surface makes it very easy to wipe clean and sterilize when/if it gets dirty. It is very easy to use as well. It can show multiple measurement units (oz, fl.oz, g, lb) which is good to match the serving size on whatever package you are looking at. And if you place an empty container on it before turning it on, it will start at 0.0 so you can just add food right onto plates and/or Tupperware without having to do math, thereby simplifying the process. I cannot speak to its accuracy compared to others as this is the only one I have used. What I can speak to is its sensitivity (the numbers go up when adding single grains of rice), and its consistency (identical food items always weigh the exact same, i.e. one serving size in grams of the type of fries we buy is always 13 french fries exactly). I would highly recommend this food scale!" —Nick

Promising reviews: "There's nothing worse than cooking a delicious meal and then having to clean up a big mess. And baking sheets in particular, which collect grime and grease, can be particularly hard to clean. That's why these silicone baking mats are such a staple in my kitchen. I used to use parchment paper, but these are re-usable and keep my baking sheets cleaner. I just place the mat on my baking sheet and go about cooking whatever I'm making, whether it's roast chicken, veggies, salmon, cookies, or more. When I'm done, I just toss the silicone mat in the sink and clean it, and my baking sheet looks spotless." —Hannah Loewentheil, BuzzFeed Staff
"These baking mats are absolutely fantastic. The quality is superb, and SUCH a good price. I use them for just about everything I put in the oven. From oven pizzas, cookies, you name it! I also love that besides food sliding easily off the non stick surface, they help protect all my baking sheets and such. It’s also super handy to just throw them in the top shelf of the dishwasher or even just wipe clean. Also, an easy tip for storing these, you can cut off about one-third of an empty paper towel roll to use as a holder, and just roll up the mats and slip inside the roll/ring for easy storage of the mats in a drawer. I highly recommend these! Update: I’ve had these mats and we use them almost daily for almost a year now. They still look brand new and I have had no problems with staining, melting, or the mats becoming worn. When using them, I cook most items at 375 degrees but have used them at up to 425 degrees several times with no issues so far. For clean up, I generally drape them over my cups in the top rack of the dishwasher and then when dry, roll them up and slip a napkin ring or rings cut from an empty paper towel roll so they fit easily into a drawer. These things are fantastic and have paid for themselves many times over in the superior non-stick surface, ease of clean up, and the cost of parchment paper and/or aluminum foil I used prior to discovering these." —Jezzhani

Promising review: "Just wow! I was skeptical at first. I wish I would have bought this sooner! After showering I get all the moisture I can out of my hair. And leave it to kind of air dry while I’m getting ready, having coffee, or whatever I’m doing that morning. It takes me about seven minutes to dry my hair if that! I have very thick naturally curly hair. It’s is a fabulous tool to have in your arsenal! May be the only one I have to use. No flat iron needed as of yet! Would buy again in a heartbeat!" —D.K

Promising review: "To say the least, I was pretty apprehensive about using what is advertised as a 'Colossal Foot Rasp.' Pretty terrifying labeling if you ask me. But HOLY CRAP this thing works. I had to do a before and after shot. It looks Photoshopped but it absolutely is not!" —Derrick

Promising review: "This is my first time using Burt's Bees Lip balm. I used Eos and Nivea before this. Someone recommended this to me and I bought my first Burt's Bees peppermint Lip balm a week ago to try it before ordering the four-pack. This is a good deal compared to the $3 single ones. The other lip balms I tried are oily. They give a glossy appearance. But this is more like a balm. Not glossy but gives a more moisturized, natural appearance. Even though the other lip balms kept my lips good while it is on, it often left my lips flaky. There were still dry skin coming off from the lips. After using this balm, I never had that problem. The lips had a healthy moisturized look." –Sam

Promising review: "Say what?! It works??! YOU GUYS!!! My daughter decided the world is her canvas. Her medium: crayons. Almost every door and wall in my rented home is covered. I've tried everything, and my arms are super buff from scrubbing, all for nothing. I saw the Pink Stuff on a Pinterest post, and thought I would check it out here on Amazon. I thought, "well, it looks like it'll work, and if not, it's not expensive and it can't damage my walls anymore than they already are." I am NOT disappointed! I used a damp microfiber cloth, scooped up and wiped it on the walls. I kid you not when I say it just wiped off!! My husband's mouth fell open and I happily did my entire hall 🤣. Seriously, get it." —Sarah B.

Promising review: "I decided to take the plunge on this thermometer after reading many glowing reviews and finding a reliable comparison article which found it to be as accurate as popular digital food thermometers costing seven times as much! Having owned some of the most expensive models and used them in professional kitchens, I wanted something that I could leave out for general use without fear of it becoming damaged. I have since put the Habor through its paces and it has indeed delivered on the rather bold claims. Comparing to both a traditional analog meat thermometer and my scientific glass thermometer, this Habor has never read more than a single degree different than either of them. That's straight up impressive! Using it couldn't be easier. There's a single button for the power on/off and a second button that swaps between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Accurate readings appear in just three to five seconds and the protective pen-clip cover slides on and off the probe easily. Speaking of the probe, it's the perfect length...nice and long for getting to the center of thick meat cuts, but not too long to become unwieldy during use!" —Masta' C

Promising review: "These are incredible! I was totally skeptical about acne patches in general. I ordered a few different brands, and these by Avarelle are by far the superior choice! They are super thin and nearly invisible. The patches create a super tight seal that doesn't budge even during sleep — they don't peel off easy, but they don't harm sensitive skin, either. AND THEY WORK! It's amazing to see all the gunk these things suck out. Totally reduces acne overnight or, at the very least, reduces pimples to barely perceptible! Would recommend!" —Amanda L.

Promising review: "I preordered this Echo Dot with clock and began using it the first day available on Nov. 5, 2020. I have multiple third generation Echo Dots with clock and I love the upgrade to the fourth generation Echo Dot with clock. I chose the twilight blue color and it’s great looking in person. It’s a nice break from the charcoal and sandstone color but still looks elegant and sleek in design. The light ring on the base and digital clock display are brighter and more crisp than the third generation Dot. It’s very easy to read. The speakers and microphone are improved as well. The wire is a light grey color and the 15-watt adapter is rectangular in shape versus the square shape of the third generation 15-watt power adapter. The manual buttons to control the Echo are on top similar to last years model, but slightly recessed towards the back so they are not in view when staring directly at the front of the digital clock face. The speaker is more full in front of the Dot and raises in the back where the wire plugs into the Dot. Setup was easy. I am considering trading in my olde third generation Echo Dots with digital clock for additional fourth generation Echo Dots with digital clock instead." —Becca

Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with this product and will be ordering more as gifts for everyone on my list with a Keurig.

Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars I would! I'm a fanatic when it comes to keeping my jewelry clean, especially my wedding set. I tried this product on my diamonds, Swarovski crystals, and Brighton jewelry, and the results are nothing less than amazing! This restored one of my Swarovski rings that I had not worn in years due to the cloudy color to a sparkling brilliance just like the first day I bought it! I cannot recommend this product enough! I just ordered additional wands so I don't run out! Home run Amazon!" —Kristina B.

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I was a little skeptical because I have some carpet stains I’ve let sit for a while because I didn’t have any cleaner at the time of the accident. The accidents have included coffee spills and poorly cleaned cat barf stains. I ordered this because I didn’t want to spend the money on a carpet cleaning service plus you have to be out of your house too long. This stuff was INCREDIBLE. You just spray a concentrated amount and then scrub the stain away. It worked in every single stain I had and was super quick and easy. 100% recommend if you need a good spot cleaner!" —Kimberly

Promising review: "The description of this desk mat is spot on. If you really are concerned about possibly damaging your desk surface, this does provide protection; it does not slip, and the items on it don't slip either. However, I eliminated the other mouse pad because my mouse glides on this mat effortlessly. Did I mention that the mat looks pretty nice on my desk? Excellent product and value. Don't think about it twice, just buy it and you will not regret it." –ramosrenej

Promising review: "Best manual juicer ever. It's that simple... I know this juicer has been reviewed a zillion times, but it's cool enough that I have to add to the praise. I've used a number of juicers over the years, some work great but are a pain to clean. Some work poorly or break, and those wind up in the trash. The Zulay juicer does an outstanding job with minimal effort, and is really easy to rinse off or toss in the dishwasher. You can produce a whole bunch of "real fruit" margaritas or similar concoctions, and not wind up with sore hands from squeezing pounds of lemons and limes. I really like the ability to switch back and forth between fruit sizes without worrying about losing the "lime adapter." Something really cute and practical about the yellow & green color scheme... reminds me of that furniture store with no words in their assembly manuals:-) Great product, can't recommend it enough." —Darkhill

Promising review: "When this blanket first arrived, I held it up to my face, said ‘It’s so fluffy I’m gonna die!’ and chuckled to myself. I set it up as a throw to make the guest chair in my office a little more inviting and colorful. Little did I know my exclamation would be prophetic. The very next day, I found my furbaby almost too relaxed to remember to breathe. Despite it, he refuses to leave the almost womb-like softness and warmth of this thing which is the blanket equivalent of Flexeril. I can’t get him out of it. I’m afraid I’m going to lose him. Thanks, Bedsure – for a killer blanket. (In all seriousness, the cat is fine. He loves the blanket, and so do I. When he’s willing to share.)" —Ninacarme N Monroe

Promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before (even with using tough elbow grease and a standard bristle brush). No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot. Used the large flat circular brush for the door and walls, and the round toilet bowl type brush worked great in the corners and on fixtures." —Molly

Promising review: "So, I really needed this. I spend hours a day studying. My back and my legs were becoming a pain. I was using a lap table but when my legs would get tired I had to place it on the floor in front of me causing me to sit with bad posture leading to back aches. Anyway, I decided I should look into laptop trays so I can use it on the bed and on the floor and due to my budget, this was the cheapest and nicest one I could find. For the price, I didn't expect much so my expectations were low. Quality wise when I received it, was perfect. It has three levels for the height, five levels for the laptop angling (which is great if you want to work while you lay down), and it has a little drawer that can hold some note pads, pens, sticky notes, small snacks if you want. If you're looking for something budget friendly and nice, I'd recommend this." –Yumalaii

Promising reviews: "This duffle bag is very lightweight but has important features that attracted me to purchase one to see for myself. The results were very nice and expected. What I like the most is the side pocket for shoes. It was such a great idea. Secondly, the clear bag with zipper inside. It is very helpful to put things you want to see right away when open it up or store dirty/wet clothes after the gym to separate clean and dirty clothes." –Rena
"I use it as a gym bag. It’s perfect for me. It really holds a lot too. I fit shower stuff, shower shoes, towel, workout clothes, a couple extra shirts and socks, brush, shoes, water bottles, etc. The fabric is thin so I would suggest not being overly rough with the bag, but for the walk into the gym and back to my car, it’s perfect. I don’t think it would be good for traveling. A weekend bag would be fine, but I wouldn’t suggest it for someone who is flying or for a kid's sports bag. I love that the shoes can be separated from your clothes and also there is a built in wet bag for after the shower. It’s a great size too. Not too big but it still fits everything I need and more." –Melanie

Promising review: "I have been using this for three months and can say without equivocation that it's the best tumbler I've ever had. Does it keep my coffee hot? Oh yeah — for hours! Is it durable? Absolutely — unbreakable, undentable, completely stainless. Is it easy to clean? Takes a few seconds. Dark coffee, hot chocolate, tea, you name it — it rinses out in seconds with zero staining. At first I thought that no tumbler could be worth this price, but now I am a huge fan. I don't know if it will last forever, but I'm absolutely certain that I will get many years of use out of it." —bcpinguino

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I really didn’t expect this to work. We’ve had short-haired cats for years and I had a rubber upholstery brush that never seemed to do anything. Well, we recently got a dog — a black Great Pyrenees mix. There is fur everywhere. Our downstairs is all hard flooring with area rugs and I hate lugging my Shark vacuum every couple of days but just daily sweeping with a regular broom wasn’t cutting it. I decided to take a chance on this broom and I am so happy I did. It takes some elbow grease but it gets the fur off the area rug in my living room... Not only is it great for getting the fur off rugs, but it’s also even better on the hard floors. My regular broom catches some of the hair (which I then have to clean off by hand) but much of it just swirls away in the breeze the sweeping creates. This broom actually collects even the tiny stray hairs and deposits them in the dust pile without me having to get my hands dirty (literally)." —Sarah R.

Promising review: "I have an active sciatic nerve and it's pinched because of my job where I need to sit for hours together. I had tried everything from standing up, using three different cushions, including that purple or egg seater thingie. Nothing worked. Particularly that egg seater is a hogwash — just waste of money. Every night, I had to apply ice packs, medicinal patches. Then I saw ComfiLife, read the reviews and finally decided to buy one. I have been using this for few months now. Here is my experience: 1. The gel takes the ideal shape in such a way it doesn't put pressure on the nerve. I don't know if it is scientific but personally I DON'T feel like Im sitting on a rock! 2. At the same time, its not saggy or goes flat like that egg thingie, when you sit on this. 3. I don't know if anyone else felt it, I get this cool icy feel on the same sciatic nerve when I sit on this cushion, say, for an hour!! 4. I have sat on it for four hours without a break and I don't have the same pain I used to have! 5. The color of the cushion cover is ideal and doesn't look dirty at all. And its removable!! Summary: Yes, you can sit for eight hours on this cushion and not writhe in pain later. Yes, this is worth the money to spend. And within a week, you will figure out if it works for you. Finally, I'm gonna get two more for my office and my car." —Balaji V

Promising review: "Love this harness! At least I think my dog does ... it’s so soft, has double security features with Velcro AND a buckle, looks great, and fit perfectly! My frenchie is still a puppy at 6 months old and 17 lbs and I bought him a large! I will definitely be buying this again when he grows out of his large, if he does. If he doesn’t, I’ll probably buy more in other colors anyway because it looks like it fits him so well! Frenchies have sensitive backs!! For anyone who has a Frenchie, dachshund, or other breed prone to back problems, this would be a great harness for them! And it is NOT recommended to walk dogs like this on collars! So get them a harness, preferably this one! Their back will thank you for it." –Emily

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs who jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were. Several other areas were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magical eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris
