1. A robotic vacuum with over 40,000 5-star ratings, because it's like having a maid to do one of your most dreaded tasks when it's just too hot to clean. And you can control it from the comfort of your couch with a remote! Sit back in front of your AC and let this robot do all the dirty work.
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Teach3
Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in two colors).
2. And a robotic mop so you don't have to carry a heavy bucket all around your home. And, you never have to worry about a dirty mop again! Go ahead and catch up on your fave show while this vac catches up on some much needed cleaning.
BTW: You can add voice control by combining this with Alexa!
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 and I have the reusable pads and when I clean them I see just how much dirt this little mop robot is helping me clean." —Christina H.
Get it from Amazon for $399.
3. Plus, a robot window cleaner, because you'll be able to pass that frustrating task over to technology — and avoid going outside in the heat. This can also be used on shower walls, mirrors, and even floors! Grab some wine, sit back, and watch this thing go.
The Gladwell Gecko Robot Window Cleaner uses AI to clean every inch of your windows and is especially handy if you can't reach the tops of your tall windows. It comes with an app so you can control it from your phone.
Promising review: "Probably the first product of this nature that I have bought in my lifetime that came out of the box and worked flawlessly. It cleaned the third story windows of our condominium very well. The robotic program in the device worked without a hitch. Besides doing a fine job of cleaning it was kind of fun to just watch it perform. My only minor complaint was that the instructions were a little brief and left a few questions that were answered only when we started the device. Recommend it highly." —Owen Patotzka
Get it from Amazon for $199.95 (available in two colors).
4. An eyeliner stamp to create the perfect winged liner look in seconds! It has two sides: a triangular stamp on one end and a felt-tip eyeliner on the other. And it's waterproof and smudge-resistant. Even if you only have one ounce of energy left, you'll be able to muster up the will to use this.
Promising review: "I loved the product. I usually take 15 mins to do my eyeliner perfectly for my dance recitals which included cleaning and redoing multiple times. But with this eyeliner, I took only five mins to do it in a single go. It lasted really long even in burning hot weather. It looked so beautiful even from a long distance. I loved the product. It's a must-have for all those who love eye makeup." —rasu

Catchy is a small biz started by two Aussie parents who wanted to make meal times less messy.
Promising review: "It’s revolutionized dinner times! Not only is there less food waste, there’s also less mess and less throwing of food, as it’s not as satisfying not to hear a thump on the ground! Would recommend to any and all!" —Kate W
Get it from Catchy for $49.95 (available in different styles for various highchair brands).
6. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets so you don't have to deal with a dirty washing machine or having to rewash your clothes. These tablets get rid of odor and built-up residue without much effort. All you have to do is pop one of these in your machine and run a normal cycle.
Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis
Get the pack of three tablets from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in packs of five and six).
7. And some dishwasher cleaning tablets, because they will get rid of odor, limescale, and mineral build-up so your machine can perform at its best. If you've noticed a weird smell or your dishes not coming out as clean as before, these are an easy way to get your dishwasher back in shape. This will do all the heavy lifting — all you have to do is pop one in and run a cycle.
Promising review: "I have had a film on my dishwasher for quite some time now, I am embarrassed to say. We did not realize that it was necessary to clean the dishwasher from time to time. The buildup had been accumulating for over four years now. I tried several other cleaners to get the buildup off, but failed. I bought this product and figured it was worth a try. We added the product into the dishwasher and ran a normal cycle without dishes. When we opened it back up, it looked like new. Highly recommend this product!" —Phillip and Katherine
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of 12).
8. A breakfast sandwich maker that'll make a delicious sandwich in five minutes without a bunch of pots and pans. You'll save money making breakie at home, and you won't have to step out during a heatwave and trek to your local coffee shop.
It'll cook eggs, veggies, meats, and toast up English muffins, biscuits, and even small bagels. It comes with a recipe book with ideas, and the removable parts are dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "Easily the best purchase I made all year. It does help to let the egg cook for two minutes or so until it’s slightly firm on top so it doesn’t sink into the bread! Comes apart to clean in two seconds flat. I get up at 3:45 a.m. for work and would have laughed at the idea of making a hot breakfast before I got this. It literally takes me five minutes and I’m out the door!" —KB
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five colors).
9. Or a microwave omelet maker for the easiest and quickest way to make a healthy breakfast. Just whip some eggs, add any toppings you'd like, and pop it in the microwave. The best part? There's no cleanup because this is dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I love this thing! I've had it for about a month now and I use it almost every day. I love western omelettes, but I hated cooking them. Now I just throw my cheese, onion, green peppers, and ham in here with the eggs and in a couple of minutes, I'm eating. I do have to cook it a little longer than it says, but I do throw everything in it but the kitchen sink. Wish I had found this a long time ago." —RayRay
Get it from Amazon for $17.95.
10. A slide away storage bag to make cleaning up after playtime a breeze! This bin has a built-in mat for playtime (perfect for building with Legos) and can be closed by pulling on a drawstring — meaning you can scoop up all of the toys on the mat without much work. So when you tell your little one to clean up, they'll be less fussy (and hopefully there will be less Lego bricks to step on).
Promising review: "For years, my kids have been dumping their Legos onto a blanket. Pieces constantly fall off and get lost, and it's a pain to get everything back into the plastic storage bin when they're finished. (And, of course, that job falls to me because they're too little to lift the blanket by themselves.) When this bin arrived, I dumped all of the Legos into it, and then gave it a try. It worked EXACTLY as advertised! I dumped the Legos out onto the fabric, then grabbed the handles and effortlessly dumped everything back into the bin. Now, my kids are able to dump out the Legos all on their own, play with them to their hearts' content, and then put them all away again when they're done. The border keeps most of the pieces on the fabric (a few escaping is unavoidable), and the bright solid color helps them find the piece they need more easily. They're able to put everything away without my help, which is awesome! Plus, when everything is put away, the bin tucks away nicely in the corner. It even matches the fabric/color of our large toy bin! I really wish I had something like this when I was a kid, but I'm incredibly grateful to have it now, as it's making my parenting life MUCH easier!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $58.99 (available in four colors).
11. A set of washable oven liners that will catch any drippings from your casserole that bubble over. These prevent you from having to scrub your oven after spills and they're easy to clean — just pop them in the dishwasher.
Promising review: "I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning oven and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" —Vicky
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.
12. And a pack of stove burner covers, because they catch all the messy splatters that happen while you're whipping up dinner. Who wants to clean up after cooking in a hot kitchen? Not me. You can just throw these out and replace them when they're dirty.
Promising review: "One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" —Melanin Monroe

Promising review: "Okay, so I am very picky about hair extensions. I've spent hundreds of dollars on numerous sets, and have never been completely satisfied. UNTIL NOW! These are BY FAR my favorite — and for such an amazing price! If you're worried that this deal is too good to be true (because I was) then stop worrying! And buy these extensions. Also, I have very short hair and they still look great! They're very full and luscious. And you can straighten them! I'm very happy!" —Makenzie Long

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical at how quickly this would work on pans and it is really amazing! It makes clean up quick and easy." —Jilly P.
"I use this all the time now. Just squirt into pans or dishes that need extra attention and leave it for a while. Come back and you can literally just wash the pan and put it away. If it is a really baked-on, leave it overnight. I have found it always comes off. Also been using for a stain removal and so far it has worked every time!" —Keg

The inside pot is also dishwasher safe so you don't even have to dread cleanup.
Promising review: "I love the idea of using one pot for many purposes. When I found Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1, I was thrilled to try it. I wasn't disappointed. The price is right with an outstanding performance. I ended up buying two more for my sisters. During the seven years that I've owned this pot, I've never had any problem with it. It is very easy to clean and easy to use. My favorite meal is beef ribs. My family thinks I am a good cook because my ribs come out perfectly tender. It cannot be simpler than this. Trust me. Just pick up some recipes on the internet and try it, you will agree with me. No cooking experience necessary. Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 will make you an instant chef!" —PR

Hustle Sew Shop is an Oregon-based small business, and you can also message the seller for a custom design.

The reviewer pictures above show results after just one night!
BTW: One pen can be used for up to 35 treatments.
Promising review: "SO happy I decided to try this. It seemed kinda ridiculous honestly, a teeth whitening pen? Ooook. After doing strips and trays for years on and off I figured what’s the worst that can happen? I’m out like thirty bucks if it sucks? Whatever. I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised. I LOVED the idea that I can just paint it on at night and go to sleep, not waiting a half hour like the strips then peeling them off and brushing. After the first application I was pleasantly surprised in the morning to notice a subtle difference in shade. By application four my teeth were noticeably brighter. Definite downside is the clumping of the product on the bristles. I used an alcohol pad after each use. It seemed to do the trick. 10/10 would buy again. Totally worth it for convenience and obvious results alone." —A.S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

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.
