Read our review of Affresh cleaning tablets!
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener no longer was doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine, per instructions, and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I am amazed!" —Sheila

3. An Oxo pour-over coffee maker that, by some miracle, crafts a perfect pour-over for you. All you need to do is add hot water, let the specialized dripper do its thing, and enjoy.
4. A self-cleaning litter box so you can let a little robot handle the worst household chore for you. Sometimes living in the future rules.
Promising review: "I love it!! I don’t have to clean daily, it’s quiet, and my kitty learned to use it from day one. I love how much easier it has made my life. I do have to check it weekly to make sure poop hasn’t stuck to the metal comb and spread the crystals around if she’s only peeing in one spot. Small parts of the crystals do come on the carpet but I just vacuum it up when I vacuum my room. It keeps the smell minimal." —Maritza I. Mar

Just so ya know, they vary in size, so you can pick which is best for your hair length!
Promising review: "I have thick 4c hair and love this set. I usually have the smaller rods at the ends of my hair and the bigger rods at the top. My hair came out so curly. It really reminded me of the movie star curls because it has been such a long time since I have seen my hair curl without having to use heat to do it. " —Marisa Fields-Williams

8. A rolling desk bike so you can move and groove as you dial in your spreadsheets, make deals, and sit in on Zoom meetings that could have just been an email.
9. A cleaning putty so you can *smoosh* your way to a clean car in no time flat. It's much easier than dragging a vacuum out to the driveway.
10. A garbage disposal cleaner because if you smell a foul odor coming from your kitchen, there's a good chance it's coming from your disposal. Simply drop one of these cleaners in, turn on the disposal, and voilà! No more stank and no more searching for the mystery smell.
Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness free.
Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILA! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Whenever I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal, and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

11. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum that is wayyyy more effective than a dustbin at helping you clean up messes. Combining sweeping and vacuuming into one powerful cleaning mashup was an amazing idea.
12. A Bestool detangler brush that works particularly well for 3a to 4c hair and makes detangling way less of A Whole Thing — whether your hair is wet or dry.
13. A Levoir Winged Eyeliner Stamp because even if you think you don't need this it can probably help you with your daily cat eye, saving some major time along the way. Pride won't make your wings any sharper, but this stamp sure will!
Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived, and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise, I put the left cat-eye on first, and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks I had to touch up or anything you would expect — just a clean, crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow

15. A bottle of Downy wrinkle release spray for saying bye-bye to the iron and simply spritzing your way to crease-free clothes in the morning.
Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb dot com. You just spray it on your clothes, smooth out the clothes with your hands quickly, wait a few minutes and the clothes are wrinkle-free! I hate ironing, so this is magic. Obviously, it won't work on hard creases but wrinkles from the dryer, for example, it will get rid of." —J. Larsen

18. A Serta desk chair with memory foam padding and coils, making it essentially a second mattress for work time. Bed-bed, meet chair-bed.
Promising review: "This Serta office chair will make your back cry literal tears of joy. Working from home is much less painful when you're perched on memory foam. It has small arms so the chair pairs perfectly with shorter desks. I put it together in less than 15 minutes — no tools required. The chair's twill fabric added some much needed texture to my room!" —Christine Forbes, BuzzFeed staff
Get it from Amazon for $224.99 (available in 11 colors and fabrics).
19. A folding board that, if you work in retail, may be your enemy, but if you're in the comfort of your own home and treating yourself to a neat, organized drawer, is the key to laundry day bliss.
20. A silicone freezing tray so you can cook and freeze your favorite soups, ready to be heated and served the next time you're short on cooking time — meal prep for the win.
It comes with a lid to help maintain freshness and keep out odors. It's made of food-safe silicone that's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. It's great for little sides of beans, sauces, soups, and more.
Promising review: "This is the best invention since sliced bread! How many times have you thrown out soup that you forgot about in your fridge??? Well, say goodbye to spoiled soup! Finally, a way to store measured quantities of broth, but I love to use mine for soup and...wait for it...SMOOTHIES! These cubes are the best for freezing measured quantities of smoothies, simply throw one in the Vitamix, and boom! You have a fresh, already icy cold smoothie for breakfast or a snack! For anyone with limited freezer space which, let's face it, is most of us, this is a real gem. I was a bit worried about how easily the cubes would slide out, but no problems at all! The best part is how easy the cubes store in a gallon sized ziplock bag so you can reuse the cubes. AND they are dishwasher safe??? Souper Cubes, why did you take so long to come into my life!??! I can't wait until the holiday season so I can gift these as stocking stuffers — to anyone I know, you now know your gift." —Texas Sunshine

24. A microwave popcorn maker that combines the ease of microwave popcorn with the unbeatable taste and freshness of making it on the stovetop.
The top can be used to measure out popcorn kernels and hold a chunk of butter when cooking.
Promising review: "Really like having this popcorn maker. It's so easy to measure the amount of popcorn with the lid and pour it into the glass bowl; you don't have to use oil, or you can if you prefer. Add salt, pop it into the microwave, and it's done — quick, easy, hot snack with easy cleanup. I kept the lid attached to the bowl as it was shipped, and then I never lost the lid. Recommend." —Maxnandy

Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

Promising review: "I actually found this product on a BuzzFeed article on things that you can’t believe you don’t already own. I figured I’d give it a shot, as we have plenty of gross-looking travel coffee mugs. I was not disappointed; in fact, I was blown away. I was amazed and even a tad disgusted at how gross they truly were." —Nanners1010

27. A wood polish with beeswax and orange oil to hide dings and scratches, add some healthy natural luster to your dull antiques, and overall give all the wood items you own new life!
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 that 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 is 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

Promising review: "I bought this for my cat because he had ear mites when I got him, and when they cleared up, his ears were left with a bunch of nasty wax, and I couldn't get all of it out in fear of pushing it farther down. This stuff brought EVERYTHING up! I LOVE it and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone with an animal with dirty ears! My cat has finally stopped scratching at his ears because they are nice and clean!" —Tricia S.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
29. An all-purpose car cleaner for maintaining your vehicle's leather, vinyl, carpet, upholstery, plastic, and rubber. Go ahead and have that backseat food fight, kids. It'll all come out.
Promising review: "I have used every product that you can find on the shelves of your local store. When I sprayed the cleaner on the light beige interior of a 25+-year-old car, the interior turned to its original color. After years of detailing, I had assumed at this point the color was set, and that's it, not with this stuff. While cleaning it, I literally said out loud, 'No way, no way,' because I was in disbelief at how amazing it worked, and the results are in the compliments I receive from friends." —Andrea
