Press the decanter onto the top of a wine bottle, flip it over, and let it work its magic. You can serve straight from the decanter or flip once more to serve from the original bottle.
Promising review: "There is a huge, very noticeable difference between relatively young wine decanted with this unit and a non-decanted bottle. It's fun to use and very effective. This was a nice recommendation from the proprietor of our local wine bar." —Glenn Neilson

Promising reviews: "My son is stationed in WA and I'm in TX. My best friend is in AZ and I'm in TX. It is great to come home or walk into a room and see it lit up. I love knowing that even though they might be far away, they are thought of often. You won't be disappointed in this purchase." —Monica
"My mother-in-law and baby girl use this to say 'hello' and 'goodnight.' They both get so excited to see their light pop on and it's fun to 'respond' by tapping on their end and changing the color to show they're there! It's perfect for a baby/toddler who doesn't quite talk on the phone but understands colors and lights." —Angie

Promising review: "Very cool. My dog is a rescue and I was told he was a Border Collie mix. His personality lead me to do a test because he just didn’t have the personality a border collie. Come to find out he’s a shih tzu–pit bull mix, which makes way more sense." —dede123

The Duo Plus replaces nine common kitchen appliances. It can be used as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, and egg cooker, with the ability to sauté, steam, warm, sterilize... and oh, it makes cakes too. Read all about why the Instant Pot is changing how we cook in my BuzzFeed coworker's review.
Promising Review: "Wow. Why did I wait so long? I love it. I love one-pan and one-pot meals that include both meat and vegetables. I've made a number of recipes that I found online and also combined ideas from some recipes to invent my own. For most meals I brown the meat in the pot on the sauce setting, then throw in everything else and turn it on. It's incredible how fast everything cooks and the flavors blend beautifully in just a few minutes. This will greatly expand our repertoire of meals in the RV but right now I'm already using it a couple of times a week at home. The mini size is just right for the two of us – usually we eat it all, or sometimes we have a meal and a small amount of leftovers to freeze or refrigerate. This has been one of my better purchases." —Abby42

This eye massager has a built-in speaker and uses vibrations, heat treatments, and air pressure to gently massage your eyes while increasing circulation and relieving stress and tension. It also has a sleeping mode, massaging your eyes for 15 minutes to help you fall asleep. A full charge takes about three and a half hours.
Promising review: "This is a great eye massager! I am the kind of person who uses my cell phone and computer most of the day. I use this eye massager right before I go to bed to reduce eye strain. It also works great on my dark circles. On top of this, it is not heavy at all. It's very easy to travel with, and I travel frequently." —epic!

Promising review: "This is a great convection oven. I will enjoy using it for years to come. It heats up evenly and very quickly. My little girl loves being able to say 'use the little oven, Mommy.' I have been able to heat up chicken nuggets for her to have crispy nuggets and make garlic and cheese toast in it. I am excited to use it to cook more items in the future." —Monica Shad

One of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote a comprehensive breakdown of all the benefits you get from this li'l reader.
Promising review: "Love this product! The fact I can read at night without disturbing other people is a big plus for me. The screen, although small, is sufficient for me, and it is easy to change fonts if needed. Another advantage is that the word dictionary is very handy, and you only have to press the word that you want to search and it will bring up the explanation. Overall I'm very pleased with this device. To top it off, this the price is very affordable!" —Cervantino

Promising review: "Unbelievably happy with this product. I cannot live without out these – I'm even considering buying a second one to keep at work. It is empowering to put these on and all the noise pollution just goes away. I bought them for home and hadn't planned on taking them to my large open floor office. I put them on and suddenly realized there was a very low and loud hum coming from the ceiling (air blowers, I assume) – now gone. I sit in my cubicle and feel sorry for everyone else because they don't have a pair of these. I tried other brands, but they were simply not properly engineered. Once you get the pairing 'dialed in' it is seamless. I use the button's alternate function of turning on/off noise cancellation just for fun to remind me how great this product works." —Claveman

Promising review: "I don't know if it's just how cool it looks or that it's so shiny and new but I have certainly increased my water intake, easily, by about 80% since getting my new water bottle in the mail. It's like drinking out of a fish tank. I mean, how fun!?? Everyone who sees it comments on it and I am not one who minds the attention. I am OBSESSED with this water bottle – high five stars on this one." —Alyson

This has premium powered drivers and dual passive subwoofers to provide 360-degree sound. Wanna take it places? Well, great! It's lightweight and portable, so take it wherever you want.
Promising review: “I’ve had my Bongo for a couple of weeks now, and I honestly couldn't be happier. I love it for so many reasons. I chose to purchase a Bongo first and foremost because of the design. The speaker fabric is gorgeous and the bamboo is rich in grain and texture. The brass screws make for beautiful accents and hold it all together. I've been using this thing A LOT. Every day it's been following me from the shower to the kitchen to the pool — and anywhere else around the house! And the battery seems to go on forever. I think I've only had to charge it once since I got it. The sound quality is great, especially for its size. Even at full volume, there isn't any distortion. Bongo hits all the points — looks, sound, and price.” —Courtney

I started buying Crane & Canopy towels after my apartment became the official place for my extended family to stay when they visit New York. I wanted to have towels that tricked them into thinking I have my life together, and these certainly did the trick! They are incredibly soft, even after going through brutal washes at the laundromat, and they make my bathroom look chic. I never thought I'd be someone who would splurge on towels, until I got these in my life. They're no longer a splurge...they're a necessity.

Promising review: "Haven't worn sleepwear in decades and decades, but had no choice in this co-ed vacation cabin on the lake. Expected to toss and turn and get all twisted up the first night. Not for a second! Slept like a baby. And I looked great crawling out of bed, too. Taking a break from vacation just to tell you how much I love these pajamas." —Damselfish

Promising review: "These glorious Greats are luxury defined! They're spectacular shoes that are meticulously crafted. Every detail is precise and of outstanding quality. I wore them for the first time on a flight from Charleston to Florida. The luxe leather shoes were comfortable during the seemingly endless trek to my connecting flight with two heavy bags slung on my shoulders. Greats has a fan for life! I will order more. Greats customer service is nothing less than stellar. Great company. Great people!" —Marty D.

This camera is a joy for working pet-parents everywhere, and it has over 2,000 five-star reviews to prove it.
Promising review: "As the owner of a new puppy I couldn't imagine how anxious I would be able leaving the puppy for the day. I made the leap into what I thought was crazy-pet-parent territory and bought a camera. Best. Purchase. Ever. It works like a dream. I was worried that it might not pick up because our Wi-Fi isn't the strongest or the fastest, no problem. The app (mine is on an iPhone) is very easy to use. The quality of the image, both regular and night vision, is excellent. We use her kibble as treats and it fires several at a time, which doesn't bother me. We angled it so it shoots into her kennel. It is such a huge relief to see her whine for just a few minutes and then settle in to sleep for hours. I even talked to the dog walker through the camera when he arrived." —Teresa

Promising review: "It blends so well, even with thicker batters that are so hard on the hands and arms. Being older, my hands and wrists hurt sometimes when baking, as I do all the hard stirring. This machine has taken my baking from a long, sometimes sore process to a quick, absolute delight! I don't know why I waited so long!" —Verge1

Promising review: "Very sharp bag – I've received several compliments in hotel lobbies and airports. The shoe compartment is fantastic; I don't know how I lived without one before! I usually put my shoes and all my socks in it and it cuts down on clutter in the main bag! The liner also adds a nice touch and makes the inside of the bag much brighter — you can actually find what you're looking for in it." —WGC

Promising review: "After spending two years on a free memory foam mattress I got from a friend who was moving out of town, I decided that I'd had enough of tossing and turning, waking up tired and in pain. This Casper mattress was delivered on time, set up in a snap, and on the very first night I actually slept through without waking up. I had a couple of questions that I texted to the company, which were immediately answered. I have arthritic hips. And while this mattress is very supportive, it 'gives' at those pressure points. For this reason, I am not having to turn over a lot to relieve the pressure on my hips. I'm not getting out of bed in the morning sore and hobbling. No more waking up! No more fatigue. No more having to nap to fill up my sleep tank. Best of all, I had the assurance of the 100-day no-hassle return policy." —Elizabeth
