    30 Products Self-Proclaimed Lazy People Swear By

    Gotta love a product that pretty much does all the work for you.

    1. A plant food spike to keep your plants fed for up to two months!

    It's recommended to change the spikes every 30 days during the spring and summer months!

    Promising review: "I always realize I forgot to feed my plants when the plants have already gone bad. This is easy and lasts for a long time. Good for a lazy person like me." —happymom

    Get a pack of 48 from Amazon for $5.69.

    2. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.

    Promising review: "I ordered this after reading reviews but only half expected it to work. I sprayed it on my dingy clear vinyl shower curtain liner. An hour later my husband showered and noticed the nasty brown sludge that had run off the curtain. He rinsed it off and the liner was clear again!!! Looked basically new. If you’re lazy about cleaning like I am but hate your dirty shower, BUY THIS STUFF! You won’t regret it." —Nicole I Gaylord

    Get it from Amazon for $20.52 (available in two scents)

    3. 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

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    4. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.

    Promising review: "Just used this on my couch. It worked super well getting orange dirt stains off. My dogs love to walk by and rub theirselves up against it and make it orange with dirt. Quick and easy way to get those stains out and easy to clean, which is good because I’m lazy." —Emilee Bennett

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59.

    5. Dishwasher cleaning tablets because the machine you rely on to clean the things you use to eat shouldn't be gunking them up even more.

    reviewer after photo of the stains now gone after using the cleaning tablet

    These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help get rid of lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle, and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tub and plastic tub dishwashers.

    Promising review: "Easy to use with perfect results. I was lazy and hadn't cleaned the filter or run a cleaner in far too long...the filter was gross, the dishwasher walls were getting nasty, and the water was stinky. Everywhere inside is now clean and no more stinky water. Will remember to do this every month for the rest of my life." —Zanzibar

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99.

    6. And while you're at it, you'll want to add this pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to your cart as well!

    These are safe to use with front-load washing machines and top-load washing machines, and both high efficiency and conventional machines. Recommended to use once a month!

    Promising review: "I always leave the door of my front loader washer open to dry out so it doesn't get moldy or smelly but despite that it had a funky smell. Being lazy and not wanting to do much to fix it, I decided to buy these and give them a try. I was surprised and thrilled to find the smell completely gone after using it just once! I will definitely continue to buy these and start using on a regular basis." —Jen

    Get a pack of five from Amazon for $11.95.

    7. Teeth-whitening pens for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. No yucky gel or bright lights required!

    Promising review: "Exceptionally easy to use even for lazy people like me. I saw good gradual results despite only using once daily — very happy as I cannot tolerate trays and hate strips!" —belle rouge 

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99.

    8. A set of acne patches you can apply over areas where you're breaking out. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it.

    Promising review: "I love these! They come with a lot in a pack and are the best with unwanted pimples. I usually put them on before bed and the pimple is gone by morning. Also if I’m having a lazy day and have a pimple, I just put one on and in about 8 hours it’s gone! They are super easy on my sensitive skin. 10/10 recommend." —Hailie Brandebury

    Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.97.

    9. 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 $11.99.

    10. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product so good, you may wanna part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors).

    This awesome stuff can be used to clean like a bajillion and one things, but note that it shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces, so of course, you can use it on cooktops and grills, just be sure to do so once they've cooled down! Plus, this is vegan! 

    Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical, because trends are often wrong, but I figured for under $10 I figured why not. Some of my pots and pans were suffering on the bottoms due to over use, and admittedly lazy cleaning (in my defense, it’s the bottom, not the insides, so it’s not like my food was going into uncleaned surfaces. And did I mention lazy?) I took a little bit out with a rag and just cleaned the bottoms and, OMG, what a difference with very little effort. It also cleaned the bit of rust around my sink drain super easy. A little goes a long way and I kind of want to scrub everything now." —Tabitha

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    11. 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.

    Promising review: "I've been everywhere. Looking for someone. Someone who can please me. Love me all night long. I've been everywhere. Looking for you, babe. Looking for you, babe. Searching for you, baby. One of the absolute best finds. I cancelled my pre-made meal kit subscription and now I'm making badass salads everyday despite my lazy bum." —Mayweda

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors).

    12. 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!

    Promising review: "I'm lazy and I'm also horrible at making each side the same size. This made it so easy to have the perfect looking 'cat' eyes. Easy to use and I can wear it all day without it feeling too heavy on my eyes." —Rachel Brewer

    Get it from Amazon $14.97 (available in three sizes).

    13. A rapid egg cooker that'll prepare your favorite style of the yummy breakfast food EGGtra quick — hard-/medium-/soft-boiled, poached, scrambled, omelet — breakfast for every meal, anyone?

    It also features an auto-shutoff function! It can boil up to six eggs at a time, poach up to two eggs at a time, or make an omelet! There's a poaching tray, omelet tray, a six-egg holder tray, a measuring cup, a recipe book, and access to a recipe database. All nonelectric parts are dishwasher-safe! To learn more about this EGGcellent product, check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review!

    I love cooking, I really do, but there are two very inconvenient times that my cooking laziness strikes, and that is first thing in the morning when I wake up, and at the end of the day when it's time for dinner. Thankfully, in the morning, I now have this rapid egg cooker which allows me to make soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or an omelet, all without having to stand over the stove.

    It's also a great way to whip up a high-protein snack during the day when you're busy with work, school, or just in the middle of a very important Netflix marathon. The egg maker will let out a sound when your eggs are cooked, and then all you have to do is enjoy them!

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors).

    14. A handy dandy weeding tool so you can easily pluck up those unsightly plants without having to bend, pull, or kneel.

    Amazon

    Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier!

    Promising review: "Buy it now. This is the best tool for dandelions! Not only is it effective, but it is also highly satisfying to use. It saves your back (no bending over!) and fast (no laboring to dig!). If you are lazy and let your dandelions get away from you and grow into dinosaurs like I do, it doesn’t always get the entirety of the whole root since they can be upwards of 6–8 inches, but it still gets most of it and eliminates them with ease. If you have middle school–grade dandelions or baby ones it will get the whole root. Again, highly satisfying! I did a whole section of our yard border yesterday in about 15 minutes. So great! Forget digging them out by hand or using a hula hoe! Get it now." —Nicole

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    15. A callus-removing gel that'll give you the baby soft feet you not only want, but truly deserve.

    Promising review: "I am super lazy with nail and foot care and would much prefer to go to the nail salon on a regular basis. However, my wallet does not always agree with my desire to be pampered. So, I thought I would try this product based upon the reviews. The results are great and I think I can stretch out my salon visits a little more!" —S. Antwine

    Get it from Amazon for $14.49.

    16. A dog spot repair solution made from a combo of mulch, seed, and soil amendment to help repair lawn damage caused by your furry monster friends. You deserve to have a house surrounded by green grass and not patches of dirt.

    Promising review: "I'm lazy, meaning I'm not going to buy top soil, peat moss, and seed. This works for me. The fast food of grass seed planting. Most of the grass come up after 1.5–2 weeks. Have to keep on watering." —Andrew Cox

    Get it from Amazon for $16.44 (available in five sizes).

    17. An automatic cleaning system for cleaning your toilet with every flush — no scrubbing, no bleach, just go and flush! Each cartridge should last about three months so you won't have to worry about changing it often, either!

    Promising review: "I had some black grout in my shower, but I'm too lazy to scrub anything. Put this on, left overnight, and rinsed off for all perfectly clean-looking grout! One bottle was not enough for the full shower, but I only was doing a few specific spots. If you're doing your full shower, I would recommend getting three bottles." —LR

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    19. 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

    20. A pet hair roller you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie.

    Promising review: "I've purchased tons of different hair removers and so far? This is the ONLY one that works. I can be lazy and forget to clean my cat tower for a week or two at a time and this'll clean the hair off like a champ, no questions asked. It's been the best thing I've invested in and I'd DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone." —Tiffany

It also provides cooking notifications, and stays connected through Bluetooth from up to 30 feet away. Plus, you get access to over 1,000 recipes, so you'll have inspiration for yummy meals! Get the Anova app here.

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in two styles).

    22. 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 quick and easy. Simply drop a tablet along with your dental appliance into warm water and let it soak!

    Promising review: "I love how easy this has made cleaning my retainers. I’m extremely lazy and I would often not wear my retainers at night just so I wouldn’t have to clean them in the morning, haha. This makes cleaning them completely effortless so now I do wear my retainers daily like I’m suppose to! Also, my retainers are always spotlessly clean after using these." —Nathaly

It has a three-stage cleaning system that loosens, lifts, and suctions dirt, dust, and pet hair. It can clean under beds, sofas, and a variety of hard-to-reach areas.

    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 $179.99.

    24. A magical blush oil that reacts to your skin's pH levels and instantly provides you with a natural-looking flush. Time to break up with whichever blush you were using before this, it simply cannot compare.

    Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small biz that sells cruelty-free makeup formulated with clean and vegan ingredients — so clean, you can wear it when you sleep! 

    Promising review: "This is the first and only blush I consistently use. The color is subtle and you can put on multiple layers if you want it bolder. I hate trying to find shades that work with my skin tone, so this is a lifesaver for lazy me." —Noor Aftab

    Get it from Amazon for $36

    25. 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 a fair assumption that you don't want to either.

    Tablets are biodegradable, chlorine-free, all-natural, and environmentally safe. They're individually packaged, and don't require any additional brushing or scrubbing.

    It's recommended to use this 2–3 times a week on wet hair after you use shampoo — you can use one dose on fine/medium-textured hair and two to three doses on thick/curly textured hair, plus another dose on long hair. You can also use conditioner after if you'd like. Avoid applying to the scalp, and only apply to lengths!

    Promising review: "I don’t put a lot of effort into my hair besides regular trims. However, I really like this! My hair (shoulder length, fine, wavy hair) dries really soft and I can just brush it after air drying. Definitely recommend this product for lazy girls like me!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.87.

    27. An self-cleaning litter box so your purr-fect bestie's potty break is odor-free, and you don'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

    30. 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.

Just swipe your brush a few times over the sponge, and voila! Good as new and no water or chemicals required!
