    If You Hate Wasting Time, You Don't Want To Miss Out On These 31 Products

    I won't waste your precious time, just scroll down for some clever time-saving products.

    1. microwave omelet maker, because you can whip up breakfast without a pan in just minutes. This useful device can go from the microwave to the dishwasher, so you can just get on with your day.

    Promising review: "This brings omelets to my weekday breakfast. I've been trying to eat a low-carb diet, and the idea of eggs for breakfast appeals to me. But, I am *so* NOT a morning person; and getting up early to stir a low-n-slow scramble just does not work for me. I've tried microwaving eggs in custard cups but they always turned out either soupy and underdone or firm but dry and rubbery. But this makes them Just Right, every time, in two minutes flat. That's less time than it takes me to brew my coffee. Two or three eggs, some herbs, a few chopped veggies, and perhaps a sprinkle of cheese makes for a quick, easy, and tasty breakfast." —Vanilla Chameleon

    Get it from Amazon for $17.95.

    2. Or, an easy breakfast sandwich maker so you can make a quick and delicious breakfast — no long lines necessary! Skip the drive-thru and the morning rush and you'll even save some dough.

    It'll cook eggs, veggies, meats, and toast up English muffins, biscuits, and even small bagels. It comes with a recipe book and it's dishwasher safe!

    Promising review: "The best small appliance I have ever bought! My husband buys the microwaveable egg sandwiches that are frozen and they are pretty expensive, especially when you buy enough for the month. He just grabs one and goes to work. So not only did this little gadget work as well as it said, it will save us money in the long run. The food is better since it's fresher, and I just couldn't believe it took five minutes. The sandwich was done and without all that messy frying and smelling up the house. Now, this is so easy. I want to buy one for my kids, the one at college and the newlywed. Also, the one here on Amazon was cheaper than the one I saw at the store and I had it in two days." —Mistie Morgan

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    3. winged eyeliner stamp, because it's so hard (and time-consuming) to get the perfect winged eyeliner every time — until now. This dual-sided applicator has a stamp and pen so you won't have to feel like your arms are about to fall off when you attempt for the hundredth time to get your eyeliner right.

    Promising review: "I bought this for me since I’m not very good at cat-eye eyeliner looks and I love them. This was a hit and so easy to use! The pigment is amazing and lasted all night without smudging or fading. I had to use makeup remover oil to remove it. Now since I have two teen daughters this didn’t stay in my makeup case for long; my daughter uses it and I gave her mine and will be picking up another one for me soon. Happy I tried it and will continue to purchase it again." —Amber Barcelona

    Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).

    4. robotic vacuum with over 45,000 5-star ratings — it's like having a maid to do one of your most dreaded tasks when you're just not in the mood to waste your time cleaning.

    Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robo vac 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 $229.99 (available in two colors).

    5. 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 dealing with 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 $389.99.

    6. 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).

    7. A microwave bacon cooker if you wake up with bacon on your mind (because same) but the thought of whipping out a pan, remembering to flip the bacon, and then draining all that grease just kills your joy, you need this. 

    Microwave time is just 1 minute per slice! The tray catches all the grease, and it's dishwasher safe!

    Promising review: "Best thing since sliced bread! I love everything about it. You can do 12 pieces of bacon at a time. So it's fast. It is super easy to clean, and stores flat. Best thing I've bought in a long time." —booklover

    Promising review: "I am so in love with this pan. I can cook several things at once for breakfast even if I use it to cook my fajitas and the other compartments for what I like with the fajitas. I put mine in the dishwasher and was a little scared but it cleaned it without any scratches or rust." —Shawnie Fennell

    Get it from Amazon for $49.35.

    10. A handheld garment steamer, because those carefree days when you could just throw on a crumpled up T-shirt have come to an end. Don't worry, you won't have to whip out an ironing board.

    Reviewer's before-and-after results of using steamer on shirt

    Promising review: "I'm a TV wardrobe stylist, and I do a lot of steaming. This is hands down the best steamer I've ever used. It doesn't spit water out, warms up very quickly, and will steam multiple garments before it needs a refill. I love that it has a button and a lock to keep it on (my last one just turned on... no button to pause the steam). The brush attachment is awesome, and pulls the fabric as you steam, which pulls the wrinkles out more quickly." —Monkaloo

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors).

    11. A three-pronged duster to easily clean between your blinds because, trust me, there's a ton of dust in there. One thing about becoming an adult is coming to terms with how much there is to clean! This tool will make the annoying task of dusting blinds super easy and way faster.

    The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves.

    Promising review: "A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." —R.D.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).

    Promising review: "My first reaction? 'Why did I buy this?' Then I opened the box and wasn't too convinced about the way it looked, as some edges look like they would quickly snap with use. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. Must try! Am in love with how beautiful it left my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia

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

    Promising review: "Scoops just break or were to hard to use. This has been just what I have wanted for years.

    Promising review: "Wow!!! I can't believe how much this brightened up our bathroom!! The paper is very thick and seems very durable!! It looks beautiful! It is mostly easy to install. Just takes some patience. I watched videos on how other people did it first before attempting it myself which I think really helped!! Using a blow dryer to smooth it on helps prevent bubbles from getting caught underneath the paper. This cheap update made such a difference!!!"—Anna F.
