Promising review: "Was very easy to use and worked exactly as described. In about 10 seconds I had my bathroom drain unclogged without using Draino! It was GROSS, as you can imagine, but a quick hand wash and good rinse of the snake and we were good to go. Everyone should have one of these under the bathroom sink." —Lucy R

Promising review: "Oh my god. These are AMAZING! The brush is small to fit into the cracks of faucets to get all of the gunk out. BUT the most amazing this was when I tried it on grout! I have NEVER been able to get grout clean. It used a little bowl of water and baking soda (I may have added some Dawn soap too), and with only a small amount of scrubbing, my grout actually came mostly clean. I am shocked and SO IMPRESSED!!! Everyone should have these!" —Serene Gagniuk

Promising reviews: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever... it was dry and dirty and not much to look at. I used this product on it and the oak wood literally came alive showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel... fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski
"This product is the best. I refinished a huge cabinet cutting board with it and it made it look like new. Plus it made it water proof. Also took a scratch out of my wood floors with ease. Everyone should have this product at home." —ilana kats

Promising review: "Best invention ever! Whoever invented the reusable toilet brush should have poo thrown at them. Cuz that's what happens when you use that brush to scrub up the nastiest residue that ever forms in your house, you risk the splatter of poo residue when the bristles snap back around that toilet edge. Everyone should have the ToiletWand in their home." —Alana McCurdy

Promising review: "Very comfy, breathable, and cute. One of my girlfriends and I were talking and she goes, 'Omg, look at these undies i just got. They are so comfortable and cute.' She pulls out these undies. I laughed and she looked at me confused. I pull my pants down a little and show her that I'm way ahead of her. Hahaha. These are a must.

It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces.
Promising review: "This is the best broom ever. My parents own multiple and I just bought my first. It wasn't to clean up pet hair but to collect my own hair, as I shed uncontrollably. The hair ball that formed after sweeping my living room carpet would make you think I should be bald. It was gross but glorious. Everyone should own one." —Michelle K. Tulcan

Just spray *before* you go — the natural blend of essential oils and other ingredients creates a barrier so odors can't escape the bowl. We're not masking odors, we're keeping them from happening *in the first place*.
Promising review: "One bathroom in an apartment just isn't enough for two adults with a healthy colon. Enter Poo-Pourri. As this was the first time trying the product, I tried the original scent. It has an amazing lemon scent. It is very fresh and not overpowering. It is not synthetic smelling. With most room sprays, you end up just smelling flowery poo. This masks the smell completely. I can walk in the bathroom 30 seconds after my boyfriend and only smell lemon." —Alison H.
Promising review: "Everyone should buy this since we all go number 2. It works great and helps reduce the natural smell of poo that we all dread so much. There's nothing worse than going into a bathroom where someone had just gone themselves and didn't flush often." —Yules
Get it from Amazon for $8.90 (available in 19 scents and eight different bottle sizes).
Promising review: "Elixir of the gods. This scrub is AMAZING. The scent is interesting, a smoky sweet coffee smell. The texture feels great and literally soothes your skin when you rub it in. I could not get over how soft and refreshed my skin felt when I rinsed it off. I've recommended this scrub to many people because it feels great and should be incorporated in everyone's self care routine!!" —Eden P.

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I have tried so many products over the years and they never completely got rid of the hard water stains. I thought they were permanent- But Bio Clean got rid of them! The last time my shower looked this clean was when it was brand new. It has a minty toothpaste like odor that was pleasant and a little goes a long way. I'll always have some on hand now. Everyone should use this product in their home. Thanks so much for a product I feel good about using that REALLY WORKS!" —Karen Leonard

Promising review: "I've used Hanacure for a while but they are so expensive. I just can't bring myself to buy them anymore. I ran across these and was so excited to try them! It does have a funky smell (reminds me of perm solution) but they worked excellent. My skin was very soft afterwards, and my pores looked way smaller. I see absolutely no difference in the effects of this mask and Hanacure. The only difference is the huge price tag Hanacure carries. Definitely worth the money!" —K. Bell
Promising review: "Everyone needs to buy Zombie Masks! I will be buying this again and again! I have very oily and acne prone skin. I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing helps my skin.

One roll of these will tackle a number of messes equivalent to 60 ROLLS of conventional paper towels.
Promising review: "I've had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They're much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer and more absorbent. I've washed the first ones I've torn off the roll several times now and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I've only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them and re-used. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of Brawny by now. One caveat...when you wash them, you're supposed to air dry them, so I haven't sent any through the dryer. And I haven't needed to, because allowing them to air dry has not affected the quality of the towels when I 're-roll' them!" —A. Clark
Promising review: "Everyone should have a roll of these. Strong, absorbent, machine-washable. Awesome product." —Mel

Promising review: "Everyone should have one! Great little sharpener! Do you like not cutting yourself? Do you like not having to take your knives in the get sharpened? Then you need this in your life. It takes up almost no counter space, and sharpens really well. I was skeptical about it because of the size and the price, but I had friends over the other day, and one went to cut a lime and marveled at how sharp the knife was (I had just sharpened it the night before). Who has two thumbs, and doesn't want to fool with taking their knives in the get sharpened? Me. Put this little guy right in front of your knife block and be done with it." —Amanda Marie

Promising review: "I have a lot of kitchen appliances, basically everything you can imagine: vitamix blender, food processor, dehydrator, rice cooker, pressure cooker, waffle iron, juicer, etc. Needless to say my kitchen is full! That's the first plus of the Instant Pot, three of my appliances (plus some) are now in one! More counter space! Yay! I primarily eat at home and I cook A LOT. I'm SUPER busy which is reason number 2 why I decided to give the Instant Pot a go and it hasn't disappointed me! I've only had it for a week and I've already saved hours in the kitchen! One other benefit that I wasn't planning on is less dishes and easier clean up. I can sauté garlic and onions, add in other ingredient, let it boil, then throw on the top and pressure cook it without ever changing pans and in 1/2 the amount of time. This makes my life so much easier! Without any reservations I can say that the Instant Pot is the best kitchen appliance I have ever owned and I imagine the longer I have it the more I'll love it. I've used it every day since it's arrived, sometimes three times a day! I've made split pea soup, steel cut oats, millet porridge, sweet potatoes, rice, lentils, and I even tried my hand at making vegan yogurt for the first time, it was SO EASY and AMAZING! I'm just absolutely blown away with how great this thing is and how easy it is to use! Long story short, everyone should own an Instant Pot! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! And for the price I got it for on Cyber Monday?!?! I can't even believe it! It's already paid for itself!" —Emily

Promising review: "Seriously I don’t know why I haven’t ever seen a silverware holder like this before now but it’s amazing. I don’t know why you’d ever get one of those awful gargantuan flat things ever again. This cleared up over half the space in my drawer AND holds more silverware than my old one!!! Everyone should buy one of these." —Danielle Brunetti
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "Everyone. Should. Be. Using. THIS. LOVE love. Because the brush is small so I can make precise movements filling in my brows perfectly. Because it looks natural and lasts all day. But then I ran out..and I started looking for something else because I hate that you can only get this online, and I was a busy college gal. Every other brow filler I got I still had to use a pencil, not with this, this adds like fibers or something. Anyways so I tried like three other brands, and they were okay but the color was off and the brush was too long so I ordered this again and I'm so excited." —Collegegal

Promising review: "In college, my roommate owned one of these and upon moving out, I immediately bought one for myself, my mother, and my grandmother.

Promising review: "Everyone should get a silicone sponge! Be gone bacteria! This one has held up through lots of use and I’m loving it. It doesn’t hold onto soap the best but I use a lot anyways and it’s a small price for knowing my sponge won’t be a pile of bacteria after every use." —Ruby

The vents regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide and keeps moisture away so your strawberries taste freshly-picked days and days and days later. I got a couple of these and a bunch of basil and strawberries stayed fresh for SO LONG!!
Promising review: "I read the reviews and thought I’d give these a try since they here easily half the price of the other ones I looked at that had to have the charcoal filters replaced periodically. These need no filter changes and oh-my-gosh, they work! I went on a 10-day trip to visit my mom and left my husband home with asparagus, strawberries, and spinach in the containers. He ate some of all of them, but there was plenty left when I got back and they were in perfect condition! I couldn’t believe it! These will save us a lot of money not throwing away food because we couldn’t get through it fast enough. (We shop at Costco and get large containers of produce.) These are TOTALLY worth getting and I will be getting a few more sizes. Excellent product!!!" —Elizabeth Walter

Promising review: "I’m thrilled to have purchased these! Amazing soap sheets. The scents are not overwhelming. I have sensitive skin and, does not irritate my skin. Hands feel soft, clean and smells great. My 6-year-old son loves these. With pretty much everything still closed down, due to COVID-19, we have been doing a lot more outdoor activities. It’s nice to have soap handy when in middle of hiking or biking and, need to wash hands before eating lunch. I would strongly recommend these soap sheets." —Ann

As a personal note, I love my Kindle SO MUCH, and would definitely consider it the best purchase I made the year I bought it. I get books immediately downloaded from the library, and I bring it with me *everywhere* I go. I'm literally reading 10 times as many books a year as I was pre-Kindle. I never ever ever thought I'd be an e-reader person (and I do love the smell of books) but you simply cannot beat the convenience (and who has the storage space for all those books in an NYC apartment??).
Promising review: "First off, Wow! The Kindle is an amazing investment that I believe everyone should make. I understand there are very few things that can beat a good old paperback, but a Kindle is one of the things that truly does. It has made my reading experience much simpler. I have all my books in a great little device. All my books are in one place and are easy to find. The battery life is great. I don't need a light to read at night and it looks just like paper in direct sunlight. I've dropped it many times and it's in great shape. Also Libby+Kindle= Honestly God's Gift to the World. I don't really use the audio book feature so I can't say much about it. If I lost it, I'd rush to buy another one immediately." —Jeffrey Phong
PSST! Right now, for the same price, you get three months of Kindle Unlimited included!

Promising review: "This is the BEST purchase I have ever made. I have been an insomniac for years and have never successfully been treated. Even with many doctors' appointments and medications — NOTHING worked! On top of that I have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). I thought I would give this blanket a try. This product is not advertised for RLS but it absolutely should be! I have had my blanket for three days and I have been basically sleeping in a coma-like state!!! It is the soundest and best sleep I have ever had in my life. And the comforting weight on my legs and boy just eases those RLS symptoms and drifts me off to a sound sleep!!! It is so hard to describe the feeling of peace and comfort the minute you lay it on your body. I actually ordered the 15-pound blanket for my weight and height because I wanted the extra weight just in case. I decided to go ahead an order a second one if I have an emergency situation and need even more weight on my legs. This product is phenomenal to say the least!!!" —DeAnn Barksdale
Promising review: "This is the best weighted blanket! It is used every single day when sitting in our chair and then again at night. Absolutely LoVe My Blanket!!! During this pandemic it has really been good to have. Everyone should have this weighted blanket!" —tonya

If you somehow still don't know what a Squatty Potty is, it's a toilet stool that keeps your feet raised while pooping. ~Going~ in this position is supposed to fully relax your Puborectalis muscle, meaning you have an easier elimination, with no straining. And if you think that's TMI, just try it and see.
Promising review: "Everyone should own one. What can I even say? This is one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life. Never have my intestines been so happy with me. My bathroom trips are a lot smoother. It's the perfect size and fits right around the toilet in my tiny bathroom. Does it look a little dumb? Yeah. Do I care? NOPE." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I've had some of the techs at my pedi salon use one of these on my heels, but they never really spend too much time scraping my heels and I keep having callused feet. Maybe they are afraid of taking off too much skin, or, maybe they just want me keep coming back! I ended up ordering one of these because I purchased another product on Amazon, the 'Soft Touch Foot Peel Mask.' I used the foot peel and it did just as advertised, however, I could tell there was still a lot of thick callused skin on the back of my heel that has annoyed me for years! I got this foot rasp (quick shipping and great quality) and was amazed that upon my first use the majority of my dead skin came right off!! I now keep this in my shower and use it weekly. If I ever decide to go get another pedicure, I now won't have to pay the up-charge for the so-called 'callus remover!' Everyone should have one of these." —Corinne E. Huntress

The Luxe Bidet Neo 120 (which we recommend here), has chrome knobs for a more ~elegant~ look, everything you need to set it up in minutes right in the kit, and a self-cleaning feature that sanitizes the nozzle and retracts when you're not using it.
Promising review: "This is the most useful purchase on Amazon I've ever made. It is not difficult to install and is very effective. Everyone should have one of these. Whenever I'm out in public and have to do the #2 and use toilet paper, I feel like ugh! :-( There is no comparison to using this versus to toilet paper. Not having a bidet is like taking a shower without water. Another benefit is that clean up is much faster than toilet paper alone. Also if you suffer from burning after eating hot food, this thing is like your personal little Fireman, giving cool relief to your backside. You'll also save money by using less toilet paper." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
Btw, the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 was our $$$ pick for best toilet paper (well, best way to get your butt clean)!

Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! I seriously didn’t know I needed it until I had it. Everyone should be using this as a daily hygienic routine. It feels so good to scrape junk off your tongue that does not belong there!! I use twice daily after brushing my teeth and it also helps my breath smell better. LOVE! I will never be able to go a day without this from this day forward! Will be ordering more in the future and love that each one lasts for a couple years! Amazing product, great price!" —Julianna Troutman

This model has an on/off switch right on the handle so you can pause easily without squirting water all over your bathroom. It comes with seven flossing tips for different needs, including for crowns and implants — this is great for braces, too!
Promising review: "My favorite purchase EVER. I can not believe I went so far in my life without a Waterpik. I'm the kind of person who is quick to make a joke about somebody's hot breath because I want them to know their mouth stinks and also I had thought I had the freshest mouth around. Boy was I wrong. I flossed every day using one of those floss picks with the long handle and disposable heads but my friend said the Waterpik made reaching those teeth in the back much easier so I decided to order one. Well first of all, it is so easy to use. It was set up and I was using it in about five minutes after it arrived. But holy moly this thing works WAY better than a traditional flossing method. The first thing I noticed was the taste coming from my back teeth, then the smell (which is disgusting even if you think you floss well back there) and finally there were pieces of food that came out! I had flossed earlier and not eaten before trying the Waterpik — I was amazed and disgusted simultaneously. I use it with a sonic dental scaling tool for an extra fresh mouth feel, I would recommend getting that product as well but I think EVERYONE should have a Waterpik. Seriously, they should just be given away. They are so effective and everyone needs one." —Troy Munch
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in eight colors).
