We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A set of disposable air fryer liners because when you wanna make a quick, easy meal clean-up should be just as quick and easy. These liners will help minimize how much cleaning you're left to do after eating — I mean, who wants to cook then wash a ton of dishes?! Maybe being an adult is a bit easier than we thought.
Promising review: "I was skeptical but I was also tired of cleaning my air fryer of crumbs all the time. I have a PowerXl air fryer and one of these fits perfectly in there. I can do french fries or any other fried food and discard the liner and the fryer is still nice and clean. I use two when I do juicy items like hot dogs, chicken breast, and sausage, and when I'm done, I take out the meat, lift out the liners, and all the gross juice comes out with it, leaving the fryer ready to clean. I highly recommend." —Kevin M. Harer
Get a set of 125 from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in different sizes and shapes for square, rectangle, and round air fryers as well as packs of 100 or 125).
2. A robot vacuum so that your home can stay clean without, ya know, having to clean it. This thing is self-charging, works on carpets and hardwood floors, and can be scheduled to clean through the iRobot Home app, Alexa, or Google Assistant. If you ever wanted a bit of help from Rosey the Robot from The Jetsons, this'll satisfy that desire.
Okay soooo I work two jobs and live alone so it is the biggest challenge to do anything extra like cook, clean, grocery shop — there just aren't enough hours in the day. I got myself a robot vacuum to give myself one less daily task and OH MY GOSH. I'm soooo thankful for this thing. It has changed the game. I loved my Dyson vacuum that a family member gifted me except, I hated having to manually vacuum. Anything that takes a little work off my load is a win for me. My hair is constantly everywhere so I was always sweeping, vacuuming, and crying because there's always something to clean (welcome to adulthood, am I right?) but nowwwww, I get home and the hair that was on my bathroom floor after styling in the morning is gone. I almost kiss this thing daily, I love it and it has been the ultimate life upgrade. So so worth it. I have mine programmed to vacuum my house every Wednesday and Sunday morning through the app on my phone, I don't even have to turn the thing on. If you're super busy and cleaning stresses you out, let this vacuum take some of the stress off your plate.
Get it from Amazon for $141.55+ (available in four styles).
3. A meat thermometer because whenever you cook chicken it isn't totally cooked throughout or it's super dry because you overcooked it. Well, no more guessing games! This thermometer is unique because it has a temperature chart on it that'll be a guide for all your meat cooking. Plus, it's waterproof so it's soooo easy to handwash!
Oh, andddd its got an internal magnet so it can be stuck to the fridge!
Promising review: "I've never used a more accurate or easy to use/clean meat thermometer. This takes the guesswork out of grilling and my family grilled the best steaks we've ever cooked. Get this thermometer!" —Katie Chapman
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two colors).
4. A reversible dishwasher magnet that fans of The Office will totally appreciate for a number of reasons. One, because prison Mike is iconic and two, for letting you and the fam know when dishes are clean or dirty. This magnet is def the "belle of da ball," as prison Mike would say.
Promising review: "It’s hard to describe the joy this magnet has brought to our The Office-loving home. Now, we don’t have to text each other at work to ask if the dishes are dirty or clean. Prison Mike lets us know exactly where we stand." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $3.99.
5. An instantly downloadable and printable cleaning checklist divided by day and room to help you tackle all your cleaning tasks one step at a time. This will help make cleaning wayyyy more manageable since having to do all that tidying can be incredibly overwhelming.
Creative Type Store is a Canada-based small biz that specializes in printable organizing aids. After you order and download, you can customize the list yourself with Canva.
Promising reviews: "Very well thought out. I love that I can edit this list to make it fit my routine. The price compared to the time put into making this is unbeatable. Thanks for saving me time." —Teresa
Get two sizes in JPG format and two sizes in PDF format from Creative Type Store on Etsy for $4.15.
6. The cult-fave programmable Instant Pot Duo that should be paid six figures because it does soooo many jobs. A pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker, what can't this thing do? Toss the ingredients in, hit the button, and this thing will handle the rest. Kinda like an adult Magic Mixie. Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to New York style cheesecake. I'm fully convinced I need one now.
Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.
Promising review: "Bought this bad boy July 2017 and six years later, being used 2-3 times a week, it’s still going strong! I love my Instant Pot. Some of my favorite recipes are crack chicken, Italian beef and noodles, shredded chicken BBQ sandwiches, chili, cheddar broccoli soup… just to name a few. I especially love how you can put frozen chicken in here and it cooks up perfectly in less than an hour. The whole reason I bought this in the first place was because I always forgot to thaw out dinner. The only thing negative thing I have to say about this is it lasts too long, I wanna buy a new one to upgrade 😂😂." —Debby
Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in three sizes and two styles).
7. Or an Instant Pot Vortex Plus air fryer for making some crispy food without all the oil! This thing reaches up to 400 degrees and can air fry, broil, bake, roast, reheat, dehydrate, and ROTISSERIE. Yep, you can cook a whole rotisserie chicken in this thing. Since cooking every single day for every single meal honestly sucks, grab this. You'll use it multiple times a week to cook basically everything.

Plus! If you download the free Instant Pot app, you can check out over 100 recipes that you can make in this baby.
Promising review: "I waited for way too long to dive into the air fryer game and I’m so glad I finally did. This device produces perfectly cooked foods with great flavor and texture. It cooks quickly and efficiently and is extremely simple to use and clean. So far, I've made chicken, french fries, burgers, roasted potatoes, and roasted mixed vegetables. All were great! Highly recommend!" —Chad Evans
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two sizes).
8. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that'll do your dust pan's job way better than your dust pan can. Like, why do we need to bend over?
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).
9. The Thaw Claw since you forget to take the meat out the freezer just about, uhhh, every day. Attach it to the bottom of your sink and it'll keep your packages of protein in place while you thaw 'em underwater.
Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America!
Promising review: "This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. And before you object, 'that’s not safe, the temperature will rise too much and promote bacteria growth' — I have ServSafe certs. I know my time and temp levels and those are in no way even close to approaching the danger zone unless you leave it for hours before cooking. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in four colors).
10. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller for an easy peasy cleanup. Yes it's more expensive than a normal lint roller, but what do you do with your lint roller when it runs outta sticky paper? Buy a refill, right? Welll, this baby is reusable and doesn't lose its effectiveness after use! Money saved in the long run!
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
11. A universal laptop treadmill desk attachment if you have literally zero time to workout — perfect solution. It's adjustable so you can fit the width to your specific treadmill and change the height at which you want your laptop to sit.
This includes a laptop tray equipped with nylon straps to keep your laptop secure. It's also portable in case you ever wanted to use it at a gym.
Promising review: "Excellent alternative to sitting on the couch watching Netflix or scanning social media. Now I still do that, but I am walking while watching." —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in two sizes).
12. Comotomo baby bottles that'll help get your baby to easily transition from boob to bottle, because it's designed to mimic the shape of your tata. If you've got a stubborn little one who won't take anything but your breast, this is so worth a try.
See why one parent loves it in this TikTok!
Promising review: "This bottle was a game changer for our 3-month-old exclusively breast-fed baby! I couldn’t get him to take the bottles our daughter used, but he took these the first feed! They leak a little when not capped, but the flow is perfect so it makes sense! I’m so happy we found these and highly recommend them!" —Alexandra Donahue
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two colors and sizes).
13. A veggie chopper for my friends who are like me and can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital. If chopping those veggies seems too time consuming, this will be a little lifesaver. Spiral, slice and dice with this super convenient, dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget.
A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get five different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, slicer, grater, and a julienne blade.
Promising review: "Cooking has completely changed with this product. It's a must have in the kitchen for me now. It makes chopping and slicing vegetables/etc, wayyyyy faster and easier. The blades are VERY sharp, so be careful when using, I have cut myself just washing it. But it's great." —Helen B.
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five styles).
14. A sterilizer and dryer because you're already a busy parent and cleaning every single bottle is super duper time consuming. This thing will sanitize and dry a wholeeee lotta bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts quickly, saving you time. Go take a nap or go to bed early, and let this baby do the hard work. Don't you just love things that make life easier?
This baby can clean up to 11 bottles and accessories at once, like teethers, pacifiers, and plastic toys.
Promising reviews: "Makes my life much easier!! I was washing bottles multiple times a day and then boiling a huge pot of water to drop them in to sterilize them. This is so much easier. You just put the bottles in, and it sanitizes and dries them for you!! I love the drying aspect, as I was wiping off all the bottles with paper towels every time I washed them. The cycles are either 45 minutes or 65 minutes. Way less time than waiting for a huge pot of water to boil and all the hand drying time! This is definitely worth it!" —soozer07
Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in two styles).
15. A Wopet smart feeder that automatically feeds your dog or cat the ~perfect~ portion of food conveniently programmed and managed by your smartphone. It even lets you record cute messages for your fur bestie to help comfort them while you're away. Caught up at work and stressed about needing to feed your pet? No worries. Feed them right from your phone, no roommates needed!
Promising reviews: "We use this to feed our cat so she gets reliable timing and portions. We no longer feel guilty if we come home late for feeding time! It was super easy to set up and has history on the app so you know what it did. You can adjust portion sizes of each of the feedings. We do three feedings a day, specify the portion size and time of day, and have never had it misfire or fail. It also notifies you when the food hopper is getting low. We use it every day so we have confidence it works when we’re occasionally gone overnight." —J. Daehn
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors).
16. A foldable wagon to bring in your groceries so you'll only need to take one trip to bring in all those bags after going to the store. This wagon can hold up to 150 pounds, perfect for all of your food and drinks.
Promising review: "This wagon is simply unparalleled for hauling groceries. I moved into a condo and instantly realized after the first grocery trip that slowly hauling bags into the lobby, elevator, and upstairs in a slow, painful trek up to my third floor unit was not optimal. Keeping this wagon folded up and stashed away in the trunk is like having a secret weapon. It's great for hauling large packages from the lobby as well. Coming from unwieldy, painful hotel carts, this bad boy handles like a breeze, never catches on tricky turns even with a full load, and doesn't break a sweat. One of the best quality-of-life investments I've made." —girly girl
Get it from Amazon for $100.79+ (available in five colors).
17. A two-pack of Downy wrinkle release spray that'll help keep your clothes crisp and wrinkle-less. It'll also help eliminate odor for neat, fresh clothing. Just spray, smooth, and go! Getting wrinkles out has never been easier.
Promising review: "We took the Downy Wrinkle Guard spray for our 14-day cruise and to our disbelief all of our clothing looked as sharp as the day that we packed our luggage. A light spray on the wrinkled area, slide your hand over, and the wrinkle is gone. Great product!" —Albert Zayas
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.36+ (available in two scents and four sizes).
18. A rapid egg cooker which will make you the best eggs everrrrr. Like 'em scrambled? This can do that. Boiled? Not a challenge. Omelet? Easy peasy. And it'll do most of the work for you, so while your breakfast is cooking you can finish getting ready for work. I see the little hearts developing in your eyes 😍; who doesn't love a perfect omelet?!
This little baby comes with a poaching tray, omelet tray, six-egg holder tray, measuring cup, and access to a recipe database.
Promising review: "I saw someone on TikTok with this and gasped! Ordered it right away. I had no idea these things existed. Super easy and convenient and the hard-boiled eggs came out perfectly. I’m testing a batch now without punching a hole in the eggs to see how they come out. Because why not make an easy process even easier?!?! LOL." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in eight colors).
19. Or a retro-style 3-in-1 toaster that may be cute but is also extremely mighty. It's a two-slot toaster, a mini non-stick griddle, and has an egg cooker that can cook six eggs at a time — talk about working overtime. I know having to make breakfast and then clean is a headache but this'll make it easier and you'll have less to clean after!
Promising review: "After three previous toasters my wife finally has found one she loves, yeah!!! We live in a tiny house and this is an awesome little appliance. The hardboiled-egg function is by far the simplest and best you will ever find. Perfect match for our other retro appliances." —Old school
Get it from Amazon for $47.49.
20. A reusable weighted bottle cleaner to get into all the parts of your water bottles that you can't access with a sponge. It also kinda, sorta looks like an Among Us character.

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but next to coffee, this guy is my best friend and has exceeded all of my expectations." —Jeni S.

Promising review: "How did I live without these? If pill boxes are just not working for you or your loved ones, and the automated dispensers are prohibitively expensive, do give these a try! I’ve been using them for a week now and have a lot of relief in seeing for certain whether the pill has been taken." —GingerSnap
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).

Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action!
Promising review: "Holy crap!! I don't know how I lived without this in my life! I was skeptical but took the advice of a stranger on TikTok and bought it anyway!! Now I can't stop talking about it, which is also making me fun at parties! I cant wait for there to be a new mess to clean up!! It cleans tubs & showers better than any bathroom cleaner, greasy stovetops and counters are sparkly clean, we even used it on the whitewalls of our slick 51 pickup truck. This product will make you feel like someone else is doing the work!! It's like being married to me, but without all the nagging. Cleaning with this spray has freed up so much of my day, I now have time to nag about other things." —Amazon Customer
Get the starter pack from Amazon for $17.50 (includes one spray and three refill bottles).
24. And a strong scraper to easily get rid of those stubborn, stuck-on chunks of food. So next time you cook your famous tortellini, you don't have to look at your cast-iron pan and say to yourself yeah, I'm definitely gonna let that soak overnight. This bad boy will scrub that pan DOWN easy!
Promising review: "I have been told I cackle wildly when using these. Where there used to be frustration and curse words, there is now glee and sweet satisfaction. Scraping pans, tins, and tray sheets has become a breeze since I bought these. Originally bought for my cast irons, but the other cookware wanted in on that nonscratch, sweet sweet scrape action." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.97.

Wad-Free is a woman-owned small biz that was launched during the pandemic by Cyndi, who had a wadding problem and no available solutions, so she created her own!
Promising review: "I loved them, I saw them on TikTok. I didn’t like my bedding getting balled up so I thought I'd try it. It’s cost me a lot of money just to dry bedding, like four cycles to get it dry. This product, I absolutely love it, it was well worth my money. I was surprised that with these, it only took one cycle to dry my sheets. Love 'em, wouldn't trade them for the world." —Jordan Dale Pederson
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack).
26. An easy meal planning pad to map out your meals and snacks for the week. There's also space for you to make yourself a grocery list if you're missing a couple of ingredients. Best part?

Bloom is a small biz that specializes in all kinds of planners.
Promising review: "I literally cannot brag on this enough, it’s cute and so functional. It has a split down the middle so whenever you get ready to go shopping, you just tear off the side for the shopping and go! It’s so easy!! Plus the magnets on the back are sturdy enough to have it on your fridge door and it won’t fall off every time someone accidentally slams the door." —Caitlyn McTier
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in seven designs).
