Promising reviews: "For us lazy cookers! I use this at least three times a week. Great so you don’t have to stand in the kitchen waiting for your food." —Craig R Payne III
"Since I started cooking sous vide, my family says my cooking has gone to a new level. I started with the original Anova, and just recently picked up this Nano. The Nano is awesome because it's much smaller compared to the first Anova, making it easier to store in a drawer. It sounds trivial but by making it easier to grab I'm more likely to use it compared to the Anova, which I kept in a special case in the pantry. Setup is so much quicker, and I can cook a beef roast for 30 hours without adding ANY water. If you're just starting out in sous vide, I recommend this cooker." —Jeff Nichols

7. A plant food spike that'll keep your plants fed for up to two months!
Promising review: "I have several houseplants that had stopped flowering, so I put a few of these spikes in the pot (there are directions on the back of package for quantity), and approximately a month after using these spikes, my peace lily had three flowers on it, and my African violets plants all got several blooms on them! This worked wonders for my plants that don't flower also! I noticed that my ivy and cactus plants started growing faster, and they became more green and healthy looking. I am very happy with this product, and I will buy it again." —Elizabeth

Promising review: "For lazy people! I love my Roomba! I work from home and have two cats that leave hair everywhere! I can start it and let it run on its own while I work. When it’s done, it parks itself and when I get off work I empty the trash bin. I can't say enough about how much I love this thing! Best purchase ever made by me!" —amanda
Get it from Amazon for $224.99.
9. And a robot mop because who really wants to deal with a bucket of sudsy water and an actual mop when you can have a robot you control from your phone do all the work for you?!
It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant devices for voice control.
Promising review: "I was a little price-leery on this but I've just been struggling to mop as much as I need to. I have three cats and I already have a regular vacuum robot that is amazing, but the idea of a mopping robot seemed different, like it wouldn't be helpful. Then after falling behind on cleaning we finally decided to splurge and buy one and omg — it's amazing. I should have given in a long time ago. My floors are so much cleaner because of this little mop robot." —Christina H
Get it from Amazon for $333.99.
10. A wall-mounted groomer toy that'll allow your kitty to enjoy all the scritches while the brush removes and collects their loose hair. So much easier than trying to get them to sit and brush them yourself.
Plus, this comes with some catnip so you can lure your cat into using it!
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but we have two wall corners that our cats are always rubbing on that we have to constantly wipe clean. Assembly and installation took less than five minutes for both. I placed them at two different heights, one that would be comfortable for them to rub their faces on, and the other so they could rub their body along. The cats were leery at first, but it didn't take long for them to figure out what was up. Now they're always rubbing against it when they go in and out or walk past. Glad they're enjoying it, and that we not longer have to keep wiping those walls down." —Jason Ross
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
11. A chandelier cleaning spray for the easiest way to tend to that light fixture you know could use a refresh. Now, I know what you're thinking — there's now way spraying that thing can be considered "easy cleaning." Hear me out. You don't have to risk injury via ladder just to wipe it after spraying. No, really! Just let it drip dry. Yup, it's really that simple.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I am 80-years-old and my days of getting on a ladder to clean this chandler are far behind me. Whatever is in this bottle is well worth the money." —Janice Hunt
Get it from Amazon for $22.89.
12. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes featuring "floss" bristles that are designed to reach between your teeth (bye bye little food bits hiding in there) and are formulated with nano-silver, which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles. Your other toothbrushes simply cannot relate!!!

Check out the Mouthwatchers toothbrush on TikTok!
My colleague Emma Lord owns this toothbrush and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it:
"I personally just bought this and love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.19+ (available in four colors and a multicolored pack).
13. A makeup brush color removal sponge because the last time you did your makeup was Saturday night before going out with your friends and you used the most gorgine shimmery charcoal shadow for your smoky eye. But now it's Monday morning and you wanna wear a lighter, more subtle shadow color to your office and only have so much time to get ready. Just swipe your brush a few times over the sponge, and voila! Good as new and no water or chemicals required!
Promising review: "Before buying this product, I worried about my cosmetic brushes' cleanliness. Being lazy, I did not take time to wash them regularly and dry properly. This little sponge performs just as advertised. My brushes are now cleaned after every use. Simply and quickly." —Anniebbard
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
14. Water bottle cleaning tablets to get your beloved drinking bottle back to the condition it was in when you first fell in love with it at the store. I, for one, don't feel like taking a brush and soap and scrubbing away, and I'm going to make the assumption that you don't want to either.
Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask 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 Hydro Flask 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
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $8.
15. A veggie chopper for those who wanna cook homemade meals, but are so daunted by the thought of prepping the ingredients, they're already ordering Seamless a fourth night in a row.
Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets!
Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors and four sizes).
16. A set of NoNo brackets that'll make putting up curtains over your windows a piece of cake. Who wants to handle drill-in rods or risking damage to the walls? Not me!
Promising review: "This bracket is awesome and was extremely easy to install. We were able to hang curtains over our vertical blinds in just a few minutes and didn't even need any tools. Great product!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.95 (available in a variety of colors).
17. A rapid egg cooker to prepare your favorite style EGGtra quick (and without having to stand over a stove) — hard-/medium-/soft-boiled, poached, scrambled, omelet — breakfast for every meal, anyone?
Promising review: "I love hard-boiled eggs for protein, especially when I’m on the go as a student/worker but it’s hard to wait for the water to boil then put In the eggs and get ready all at the same time. This cooker is amazing!! Saves me time, it’s quick and I don’t have to watch it while it cooks — I can go get ready and then I hear a loud buzzer notifying me when the eggs are done! (The buzzer is really loud; sounds like a basketball game buzzer.) I was surprised how fast the eggs cooked." —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight colors).
18. Cleaning tablets that'll make you realize the important task of sanitizing your retainer, dentures, night guard, or any other dental appliances you may use can be fast and easy. Simply drop a tablet along with your dental appliance into warm water and let it soak!
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.

19. An oil solidifier powder you simply sprinkle over hot oil (do it dramatically like you're a fairy godmother and it's magic dust), let it solidify, and then safely get rid of the now-hardened leftover oil in the pot/pan.
This product is made from 100% plant-derived fats. FryAway is a woman-owned small biz that makes this super smart cooking oil solidifier!
Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work. Waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three styles).
20. A game changing litter box to save you the headache that is scooping 💩. When your feline friend is done going to the restroom, the machine timer goes off and the litter begins to clump, then it rotates and separates the dirty clumps from the clean litter, and disposes of the dirty clumps in a carbon-filtered waste drawer underneath. You'll be notified via an app when the drawer is full and needs to be disposed of, because oh yeah, did we mention it's Wi-Fi-enabled, too?!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes owns this and loves it:
"I've been using the Litter Robot myself for over a year now, and I'm pretty sure both me and my two cats are way happier for it. After a cat is done using it, the Litter Robot waits a set amount of time until the cat's presence is no longer detected, then begins to rotate, collecting the waste into a bag at the bottom while retaining the clean litter in the barrel. I usually don't detect a smell from it afterward, though once the bag starts to get really full, you might get a subtle reminder that you need to take it out. My cats completely adjusted after a few weeks and accepted it as their way of life, making my life a heck of a lot easier while ensuring they always have a clean bed of litter. It's a pricey purchase, to be sure, but if cleaning out the litter box daily or even every other day is hard for you and you'd rather not think about it much at all, I say the Litter Robot is worth it."
Get it from Litter Robot for $549 (available in white or gray).
21. And if you're looking for a cheaper option, this self-cleaning one will help ensure your purr-fect bestie's potty break is odor-free. And like the one above, you won't have to change the litter or scoop until the tray is full!
Each litter box comes with a pre-portioned package of litter that you pour into the tray. It will start cleaning 20 minutes after it's detected that your cat has left the box. When the tray is full, simply remove it and dispose of it.
Promising review: "Admittedly, I am a lazy cat owner. I hate taking the litter out every day. This is a dream. I have one cat and I change this once every month. Very limited smell (I use the purple crystals). This is the only thing I’ve ever reviewed on Amazon because it’s THAT worth it. Worth every penny to not take the trash out every single day. My cat adapted perfectly and he’s picky as can be. Everyone needs this. Literally everyone." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $199.95+ (available in three styles).
22. A microwave pasta maker for a super easy way to enjoy a big bowl o' carbs after a long day. No stove, no stress!
It yields up to four servings at a time, and is top-rack dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "Works great for a lazy cook like myself who prefers to put in as little effort as possible. Easy to use and doesn’t boil over and make a mess in the microwave. Have used it to make about four different types of pasta and all have turned out great using the times given in the easy guide." —michael lemke

23. Nonstick oven liners to catch things like crumbs and other food particles/residue so all you have to do is clean these liners and not the oven itself.
Comes with three! These are PFOA-, and BPA-free, and works well in electric and gas ovens, microwaves, toasters, and can also be used as a grill or baking mat, or pan liner. They're nonstick, reusable, can withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "What spurred me on to looking for these was after I tried a new recipe for oatmeal cookies. Even though I used vegetable spray on my cookie sheets, the cookies got stuck — not just a little — I had to chip the cookies off the sheets, hammer and chisel style! The next batches of these cookies I used parchment paper, which worked great, but I'm too lazy and cheap to keep cutting and throwing away the used parchment paper. I would reuse the paper for several batches, but they got to be kind of gross after a while. After cutting these (easily done with a pair of scissors), I have made several batches of the oatmeal and other kinds of cookies, including sticky meringue coconut chocolate chip cookies, and NOTHING has stuck to them! My cookie sheets have not touched water since I've started using them. I've also roasted vegetables on them." —sdjobes
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99.
24. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and those nasty smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so...disgusting. It scrubs away at gunk that causes buildup and yucky smells on sidewalls, blades, under the splashguard, and other hidden areas.
Promising review: "Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn’t just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products, it cleans too and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out and that’s good enough for me." —sylvie yah

25. A winged eyeliner stamp so you can cut down time during your makeup routine trying to nail the perfect cat-eye. Just stamp it on and go, go, gooooo!

Get it from Amazon $14.98 (available in three sizes).
26. A microwave bacon-cooker that'll make it so simple to whip up that salty goodness. When you wake up in the morning, do you really feel like taking a pan out, putting bacon into it, having to remember to flip the bacon, and then drain the grease? Nope, forget that!
Microwave time is just one minute per slice! The tray catches all the grease, and it's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "I love this for my lazy Sunday mornings. First, get the coffee maker going, because priorities. Then, throw some bacon on this thing, drape a paper towel over it for splatter control,and pop it in the microwave. While that goes, fry a couple eggs and toast some bread. Next thing you know, you have a pretty good breakfast for not a lot of effort. The grease also pours out of the tray easily, so just grab a jar from your recycling bin and place the grease in that to throw away. Also, ALSO — it's dishwasher-safe. You gotta love that." —Jess
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
27. A Shower Cat hair catcher — a simple wall-adhesive solution to get if at any point your shower wall or door has resembled a yuckier version of an abstract painting, except instead of colors, it was just all the hair you shed. Trust, it'll be so much easier to take hair out of this tool then it'll be to snake hair out of your drain.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $13.95.
28. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer so you can literally stir things you're cooking up over the stove like pasta sauces or eggs without actually stirring — give your hand a break, it's what it deserves.
Just place in your pan with a simmering, or low-heat liquid, set the timer, and let it do the stirring for you! Not recommended for use with boiling liquids. And do not submerse the motor unit into liquid! This requires four AA batteries, you can grab some here!
Promising review: "My husband LOVES Alfredo, but I HATE the constant stirring of the sauce, so I rarely make it! For Christmas, my husband invested in his future and bought me this self-stirrer. I was incredibly sure that this gadget would never be able to manage the thick sauce and that I would end up whisking the night away. I will come before you now and claim that this was AMAZING!! I literally walked away, prepped other ingredients, and walked back to the stove where my PERFECTLY COMBINED sauce sat, ready to serve to my beloved. Truly a product worth its money!" —Kate
