Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal

Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack).

To use, wet and detangle your hair before winding in the curlers. Don't remove the curlers until your hair is completely dry, or it might get frizzy. 

Promising reviews: "Love the curls, and even day two looks good!!! It took a few tries to get a good rhythm, but it doesn’t take long to do my whole head. I wet my hair before using these and sleep in them. When I remove the curlers, I twist the curls to reform them and use a frizz controller. No hairspray, gel, or mousse needed!" —SCA and Teacher

"I have super thick hair, and it’s about down to the middle of my back when wet. It’s also pretty curly/wavy, just very haphazard and not in a cute way. I tried these as an alternative to curling every single strand. I’m in love. Took me MAYBE 20 minutes to put them all in, and they came out BEAUTIFULLY on the very first try!" —Mackenzie

Promising review: "Not sure why I didn’t know about this nifty gadget before! I’m obsessed!! I make jalapeño poppers AT LEAST once a week, and it has always been a little time-consuming! This gadget has cut my prep time by more than half!!! Such great quality and love that it’s dishwasher safe! You don’t have to work hard to get stems and seeds out. Only takes about 10-15 seconds per pepper, and it’s completely cleaned out! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I hate tying my shoes. I really do. As a result, I don't really stray from slip-ons, flats, flip-flops etc... These made it so sneakers are part of my world again. I know it seems like a little thing, but these made me so happy." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I didn’t think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn’t smell musty, and has removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." —AVDW

Read our review of Affresh cleaning tablets!

Promising reviews: "I’m so glad I discovered this cleanser. The plumbing backed up…the smell lingered after several cycles with bleach, baking soda, vinegar, and dishwasher detergent. I almost gave in to purchasing a new dishwasher before discovering Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner. It worked after the first use. I now use it monthly." —lejay

Promising review: "The Hanni Shave Pillow is truly life changing. I can never go back now. It is so convenient. You can shave dry or wet with it. The stick applicator is so easy to use. It glides right on. It helps me get the closest and smoothest shave ever. It also doesn't need to be rinsed off. You just rub it in, and it doubles as a moisturizer — you don't even need moisturizer after! The stick, ability to use dry, and moisturizing properties all make it perfect for on-the-go travel use as well. Such a time saver and great quality, too. I can't decide if discovering this product was good because I love it so much, or bad because now I can never live without it!" —Amazon Customer

Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. 

Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." —Kimba

"The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 JK, I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF

Promising review: "It's really nice! It goes on super fast right after a shower, and my skin feels very soft all day. At first, there is a bit of an oily feeling, but it soaks in quickly. I definitely can tell a difference in my skin since using this. A little goes a long way too, so a bottle has lasted me much longer than I figured it would." —	Erin the librarian

Promising review: "Found this 'must-do' hack. I fill the handle of this little gadget with Dawn and a little vinegar, keep it in the shower — then a couple of times a week, just scrub the shower walls while I'm in there waiting on the dang hair conditioner to do its work — killin' two birds, I'm tellin' ya!" —my4sons

Get a wand and seven refills from Amazon for $13.15. 

I have this brush and REFUSE to use anything else. I have no idea how it works so well, but it doesn't pull or break on even super knotty hair. I could even start brushing top to bottom without hitting any snags. Because I have fine, wavy hair, brushing is usually painful and leads to a lot of breakage — not so with this one!

Promising reviews: "I have very thick hair, and after blow drying, my hair becomes this huge lion's mane. It also takes me a good 20 minutes usually to dry my hair. I used this with a little skepticism, but am so glad I was so wrong. It dried my hair in half the time, and my hair looks like I passed a straightening iron through it. I didn't even put any product in it just to test it out, and my hair feels so smooth. Even all the wispies that I usually have are much more under control." —Rachel

"I absolutely love the Wet Brush for my curly hair! As someone with thick, curly hair, I’ve struggled with finding a brush that doesn’t cause breakage or frizz. The Wet Brush is a total game changer. The flexible, soft bristles gently detangle my hair without pulling or snagging, and it glides through my curls effortlessly. I no longer have to worry about painful tugging or losing chunks of hair when brushing. The brush is also great when my hair is wet because it reduces damage and split ends. I love how it helps to distribute my leave-in conditioner evenly, making my curls look more defined and smooth without frizz. It’s super comfortable to hold, and the design is lightweight." —Mindy

The device has a 2.5-liter bucket capacity and dishwasher-safe parts. If you plan to use the fertilizer on your plants, make sure you don't add too many salty foods. 

Promising review: "I have had this item for a couple of weeks and absolutely love it. It does take up some counter space, but fortunately I have a place in the laundry room and just use it there. It is almost silent and my garbage has been reduced by about 80% to 90%. It is super easy to assemble and use (just press power button). And then VOILA! Your food waste has been reduced to a cup or two which can be used in the garden directly from the composter. My food waste generally cycles completely through in about three to four hours. Truly, this is one of the best appliances I have ever owned. It is in almost constant use since my diet is whole food, plant based and hasn’t missed a beat so far. Highly recommended!" —Karen Adkisson

This rhubarb-scented paste has just enough grit to be tough on stains but gentle on your belongings. 

Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

It runs for up to 90 minutes before automatically heading to the dock to recharge.

Promising review: "So far, it is amazing! It picks up SO much dirt and hair. We have three dogs and a cat, and my floors are spotless. We decided to get this cheaper one to see if it was something that would work for us and I am amazed! For the first week, we let it run every day. We made sure we picked everything up, and it only got stuck one time. We use it every other day and have it scheduled to run just before we get home. This thing even picks up cat litter! If you are on the fence, try it. Has made my life so much easier not having to sweep every day!" —Kathryn P.

Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in three models). 

Promising review: "I really like this soap. I did some research and found it is very difficult to find just the right gentle soap for hand washing small delicates in the sink. The choices are few. Some had lots of chemicals and other sites suggested making your own. Well that 's not happening. This Soak is great stuff. A little goes a long way and it smells nice. The BEST thing is you don't have to rinse it out. You are not standing at your sink filling it with water over and over to remove pesky soap residue. I only gave it four stars because I think it's a little expensive, but I would likely buy it again anyway." —Yankee transplant

Get it from Amazon for $14.25+ (available in eight scents).

This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier.

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG

Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner, and this makes it fast and fun! I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use, and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I’m obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." —Reviewer

Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER

Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack).

Promising review: "I'm an old school cook so I was skeptical about purchasing this product. However, I have arthritis and now that I am retired, I am always on the lookout for products to make meal prep easier for me. My husband and I have a big breakfast every morning and we enjoy pancakes. This dispenser made pancake making much easier. I love it. What I was very impressed with was that the batter flows so easy through the container. The dispenser makes the size of the pancakes uniform and even. Cleaning it was very easy. Nothing to it! I appreciate that this product is brightly colored, as I have a bright kitchen with Fiestaware. This dispenser matches my kitchen decor too. Yay." —Kevin and Mari Cornish

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously, the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home.

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for, and I had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Promising reviews: "I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years and I couldn’t be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blowouts! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" —ERJ

"This review is for all the Black women looking for a good blowdryer for their hair. I have 4C (mainly) natural hair and got tired of using the regular dryers because they made my arms tired. I have thick, long hair so blowdrying takes forever for me. This blow dryer was wonderful. I didn't even have to detangle before using it and it dried my hair very nicely. I love it so much. My only complaint is it is bigger than I expected it to be. A little bulky but I will get used to it. Overall, I am loving this hair dryer so far and am glad I made the investment." —Johniece Elbert

Bonus! These are also great for cooking cheesecakes. Just wrap the pan in one before dipping it in the water bath to keep it nice and dry.

If you'd prefer a reusable option, check out these silicone air fryer liners. 

Promising review: "These are lifesavers! Makes clean up seem unnecessary. For real. I use the air fryer a lot. I love cooking salmon brushed with olive oil. These liners keep a good 97% of anything from being in the bottom. Maybe more. When you think about how many liners you get, it's really not a bad deal for how much it helps." —Kim Kelly

Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

It's alphabetized, so you can easily find the one you need!

Promising review: "This was exactly what I wanted. The book has a heavy plastic cover and heavy-duty wire binding. The paper is good quality, although my favorite gel pens did have some bleed-through. I'd recommend ballpoint or pencil. The entries have wide spaces, with room for website, email, username, password, and notes (which is perfect for noting the answers to those security questions... What's your favorite ice cream flavor? I don't remember what I answered a year ago!). The password section has a good number of extra lines for those sites that make you change your password with annoying frequency." —Amazon Customer

The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($29 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.

Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads.

Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The different brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat

Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. 

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

The hands-free cleaning cycle runs 20 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, moving their waste to a leak-proof, odor-controlled, and disposable tray underneath. Also grab a bag of scoop-free crystal litter and tray refills, too. 

Promising reviews: "This litter box is a must for any busy family that struggles to keep up with the daily maintenance of having a cat and a litter box! It works well, and my cat is so happy always having a clean litter box." —Kelsey Decker

"I rarely write product reviews but this litter box actually made a huge difference for my house! I have had a cat for about 10 years who decides to do the number two about 2 feet outside the litter box. He has ALWAYS done this, no matter what type of litter or box. I even asked my vet about it, and his response was, "Some cats are just jerks." 😂 Then I got this litter box. For the first time EVER, he does ALL of his business in the box! And there is no odor at all!! I love it so much I have two. Would highly recommend!!" —Emily Stokes

I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old-school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle; it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH, very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant.

Promising review: "I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and is easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." —Jessica

The scanner works with any device that can connect to Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. See a TikTok of the scanning pen in action.

Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far fewer mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." —Josh

All the removable, nonstick parts on this sandwich maker are dishwasher safe. 

Promising review: "My college daughter loves this sandwich maker! It's quick and simple and requires no more than an outlet, although I do recommend spraying non-stick on the plates once in a while or at least wiping with a touch of Crisco. This makes cleaning it easier, too. Makes sandwiches just like the fast food joint but at far less cost, and you can do it in your jammies!" —AZDonnamae

Measure your bag to make sure it's a good fit!

Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all, but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan

Promising review: "Holy cow, this thing is amazing!!! I’d been looking at brush cleaners for a while but thought they couldn’t be everything they claimed. I was wrong! This brush cleaner cleans brushes instantly and then dries them, too. It took me less than 10 minutes to wash and dry all my brushes, whereas it used to take me 45 minutes to wash them by hand and then a full day to get them dry. This machine dries them so well that they can be used immediately, and it keeps the integrity of the brush. I give it at least 10/5 stars!!!" —Ziasophia
