This humidifier can also operate as an oil diffuser!
Promising review: "This thing is the bomb! It’s the king of tabletop humidifiers. It goes for 10–12 hours on max humidity and pumps out absolute clouds of humidity. I’ve got it going 24/7. It’s about 12 feet away, and my humidity meter next to me shows 37% in this forced air heated room. It's easy to fill, holds a lot of water, and believe me you will humidify your room. No more dry skin, static electric shocks, clingy static-y clothes. I only wish I could have bought another, but Amazon was out of them when I came to get one." —what.it.is

Promising review: "It might sound crazy, but I am very picky about my hangers. So I was not sure about trying these, but when I took them out of the box I fell in love with them! They are extremely thin and lightweight, so they save space. And I love that they have multiple hooks and bars and, of course, non-slip shoulders. This allows you to hang up pretty much anything without it moving around or falling off, and shirts hang nicely without getting those awful stretch marks on the shoulders! Very happy with this purchase and have already ordered another pack." —MamaD

Promising review: "I purchased this product as a stocking stuffer for my boyfriend, and we both love it! Simply spray before you go, and it’s as if a number two never happened. I’ve noticed that five squirts does the job. The product fully serves its intended purpose of masking even the raunchiest of smells. I plan on regular purchases of this product!" —Abbiegale

Promising review: "I wanted an air purifier for next to my bed for the fall season when I usually have my windows open. This air purifier has been helping to keep my allergies under control and my room doesn’t smell at all now. I used to swear one of my animals was up to something, but now it smells clean and fresh. Very happy with my purchase. I will be looking to add purifiers throughout our home to help with my allergies and sensitivities." —C Niem

Promising review: "These storage bins saved my marriage! I was finally able to organize all the T-shirts my husband refuses to get rid of from 20+ years of beer league sports, 5Ks, and other events. The clear tops are a plus, so he can SEE what shirts are in there. Heaven forbid he have to move something to see anything! We were getting pretty close to filing papers over his enormous amount of clutter, but these storage containers have organized not only the mess, but our hearts." —Jess

Promising review: "It kills me to write this review because I never thought I would be writing a review for a sink strainer. But when you come across a well-engineered product that solves a problem for you, no matter how simple, it should get credit. This strainer allows full flow down the drain even when it is full of food particles, so you can just clean it easily after you are all done. No food can sneak by due to the design and it even looks good." —Captain Dingle

Promising review: "I love these things, they’re so versatile. I have them all over: drawers, closet shelves, cabinets. I use them for more than just underwear too. I use them for dry art supplies in open shelves and just about anywhere else I need to organize." —Kindle Mac

Promising review: "Wow! I call these my 'miracle in a can/ wipes. These things are awesome. Buy them and cut down your cleaning time to just minutes. I used two and was able to clean my stove, refrigerator and microwave. What a great product. No buyer's remorse here." —Richard J. Jackson

Promising reviews: "This product does a quick and easy job of lighting candles from tapers to jarred candles that are mostly burned down. Its flexible arm keeps your fingers from getting burned and you can see the wick. It also reduces waste from disposable lighters." —Mark D. Snider
"The battery lasts a pretty long time and recharging it doesn't take very long either. This is also safer than a normal lighter because the plasma stream is confined and doesn't cover a huge area." —Daniel Wing

Promising review: "I used to store seasonal clothing in plastic bins. No more! It’s amazing how much these bags compress. Really saves closet space. Plus, you can see what’s in them without opening multiple bins. I packed RV bedding (pillows/comforter) in one jumbo bag." —Mary

Promising review: "These are EXCELLENT utility knives for the price. You definitely get two sturdy knives, each wrapped in plastic, AND a box of spare blades. The ergonomic grip is excellent; the knives aren’t too thick or thin and the lever slides forward and backward smoothly, exposing the blade cleanly. They’re very sharp knives and replaced old metal handle utility knives we’ve had for many years. Best of all, you get extra blades contained in a plastic box.
The blade itself has no wobble tolerances as the handle holds it solid. This is extremely important as you cut into objects and boxes because you don’t want any wiggle or unstableness in the blade itself. Five-stars." —Peter

Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problem." —R M

Promising review: "I am honestly such a towel snob. I've always been so picky about everything from texture to absorbency to fluffiness. I've been using these Turkish bath towels by Madison Park Signature for a few months now, and they are still just as thick and plush as the day I got them. They're amazingly absorbent and quick-drying, too. I wash them with all of my other towels, so I don't put them on any kind of special cycle and they are holding up impressively well. They're a very generous size and there's plenty of length to wrap all the way around your body. Not only are they functional, the set looks really nice, too. So if you're looking for a nice set of towels to display in your bathroom, they're great for that, too. These are such high quality towels and I can already tell they're going to last a long time." —digmydreams

Promising review: "This was one of the first cruelty-free household cleaners that I purchased, and I was blown away by how well it works. Transitioning to products that don’t employ animal testing requires a lot of research and risk, and this truly outshined any “traditional” toilet cleaner I have ever used.
It’s thick, like conditioner, so it actually sticks to the bowl rather than coagulating in the water as soon as you pour. The smell is refreshing and worlds away from the chemical odors that I’m used to. It cleans without much elbow grease, and I haven’t had ring around the toilet since starting using it. The bottle is huge, especially for the price, and will definitely last. Will absolutely continue to purchase when this bottle eventually runs out." —Heather L'Homme

Promising review: "I bought these stainless-steel straws in an effort to use just a little less plastic. I am always on the go, so I have at water and/or coffee with me at all times. My teeth are very sensitive to temperature, and straws are very helpful but I hated throwing away plastic straws. These straws fit nicely in my 32 oz sippy cups and are also acceptable for use in my smaller to-go mugs.
They're easy to clean with the provided brush and when that wears out, pipe cleaners from the craft store work just as well. I am quite satisfied with these straws and now give them as gifts with personalized coffee mugs." —Jo Rose

Promising review: "These are amazing for cleaning and a great price! I’m mad at myself for not purchasing sooner. In an effort to reduce the huge amount of paper towels we go through, I decided to purchase these. I use one to two a day for kitchen cleanup and put them in the laundry. They pick up little crumbs easily and don’t leave my quartz streaky. I have a super messy 10-month-old and I clean his highchair with these and they work wonderfully. I also use these for dusting — they pick up everything. The only thing that was a negative was that the first time I washed them in warm water (per instructions), the yellow color bled onto the white and turned them an off white color. Not a big deal, but be careful not to wash the yellow rags with anything you care about! Last thing, but don’t use fabric softener with these or they won’t be as absorbent!" —Meg R.

Promising review: "I love this organizer because it holds everything without taking up too much space. I have a small desk but needed my pens, pencils, notepads, post its, rubber bands, paper clips, glue stick, white out and letter opener, back scratcher, screwdriver and even my stapler close at hand. In addition, I have all my coupons, phone directory and daily notebook log stacked in the convenient slot in the back. Really, I'm delighted with this product." —Olivia G.

I recently started using these wipes, and I love them. They're so soft and gentle on my skin, and that shea coco scent is amazing. Because they are plant-based and hypoallergenic, I know I don't have to worry about my sensitive skin having a negative reaction. Now I worry less about feeling fresh when I'm on my period or have just worked out and don't have the time (or energy, let's be real) for a shower. Fair warning, though, the first one or two wipes are a li'l tough to get out, but once you make it past that hurdle, there's only sweet, sweet comfort to follow.
Promising review: "These smell great and aren't overpowering. I use these pre- and post-intimacy as well as during that time of the month. They're not too wet, leave you feeling very clean, and are sized just right. Packaging is also smartly designed with a snap lid to ensure they don't dry out. It takes me over a month to go through one pack, and the last wipe is always wet. I typically have sensitive skin, and I have never reacted negatively to them." —Erin R.

Promising review: "If you have dust mite allergies these covers are a MUST. In addition they are water-resistant which will keep your pillows cleaner and prolong their life. This was my first time using this brand and they have been the best we have used so far. They don't make noise like some we have encountered. They do hold in air a little but given the fact that they are water-resistant, have zippers, and are truly dust mite proof I was anticipating this. It really has not been an issue. Washing and drying have been a breeze. We have enjoyed the covers we purchased and would recommend them." —Alecia

Promising review: "As a semi-retired handyman, I really appreciate tools that make my life easier. And this one is well-thought-out. First, the interchangeable bits are fairly thin and long, which makes them easier for getting into tight spaces. The second thing is how easily and quickly the bits can be changed. Because they are on the outside of the handle instead of inside a hollow handle or bit holder, you can easily see which one you need next. Make the swap with just a flick of a finger, and the bit you need is ready to go in seconds." —MrGizmo

Promising review: "I watched videos on YouTube and that inspired me to take a chance and purchase this steam cleaner. And guess what? We LOVE this steam cleaner! We have an aging dog who is having a couple of 'accidents' every week on the carpet, and getting a pro out once per month started to get expensive. So, we wanted to find a home unit that actually worked and was easy to clean up. This is it!
We use the recommended soap, very hot water, and this thing works like a champ. Our carpet comes out clean and soft, not stiff from dried soap. Plus it is SUPER easy to clean up. I waited two full months before submitting my review here to make sure all was going well and this machine rocks! If you need a home machine, take a good look at this one." —Mark Stafford

Promising review: "A great upgrade! So much better than the rubber ones! This doesn't turn moldy black and seems to get less scum on the actual hairs. I haven't had any issues cleaning it, and it rinses clean after a quick scrub with a toothbrush or other small brush." —IronMaiden
