Promising review: "I put these in my guest bathroom and they are bright enough to help you see without being too bright. They are soothing to watch change slowly from one color to another. Kids and adults really like them and it encourages them to wash their hands long enough to see them do a complete color change." —Sharkmom

Price: $5.97

Promising review: "I discovered one of my plants had fungus gnats so I ordered these and less than 24 hours later it has caught hundreds of them!! So happy!" —Erin F.

Price: $5.99 (for seven traps)

Promising review: "This brings back luster and shine to wooden furniture. Howard's is an excellent product and the favorite of antique dealers." —suevdn

Price: $8.38

Promising review: "This is the thing you didn't know you needed. SO much better and far easier than using matches, and works like a charm!" —P. Whitmire

Price: $9.99+ (available in five colors)

Promising review: "Smells divine and has impressive throw. Scent fills the whole room, and the slow burn is great." —BrynG

Price: $14.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift packaging and multipacks, and in dozens of scents)

Promising review: "I really needed something to haze my bedroom windows since I have a lot of plants in my room in addition to getting a clear-cut view into my neighbor's windows. Really happy with it, installing wasn’t too difficult, you’ll definitely need a box cutter and a spray bottle. I’d also recommend peeling off top half, getting film situated in the corners, and then peeling off the bottom while spraying, that way the film doesn’t get caught on the window while you’re adjusting it." —Teagan

Price: $7.98+ (available in 12 roll sizes)

Promising review: "Hair all over the walls! Hair all over the floor! Hair on the ceiling!! And hair all in the drains!! That was my life before I got this. Didn't think it would work as amazing as it does but if you have long hair. This is an absolute must!" —Tony A

Price: $14.95

Promising review: "I bought a set of these on Prime Day in 2017. They have weathered five years in Denver, Colorado, baking all summer long in the endless 100-degree sun and freezing all winter, and they still work perfectly! Reliable motion detection, nice and bright, and they charge fine even on short, overcast winter days. I just bought another set because they were too cheap not to. I highly recommend ZOOKKI motion solar lights." —Amazon Customer

Price: $29.99 (for a set of four lights)

Promising review: "I have five dogs and they love doing hot laps around the house. Before I bought these, the rugs always ended up in a ball in the center of the room. These are super grippy and withstand my five dogs (20 paws) slipping, sliding, and running around! Great product, will buy again!" —chris davis

Price: $9.79 (for the set of four grippers)

Promising review: "Fantastic set for the price. Looks great and the size is perfect. Fairly easy to assemble. Some holes are hard to line up, but with patience they eventually will. I definitely recommend." —mark p

Price: $99.99+ (available in five colors)

Promising review: "I have a fenced-in yard and during the warmer days I leave my back door open so my dogs can run in the yard. Unfortunately it also lets the flies in which is why I purchased this item. I set it up on ledge that separates my kitchen and dining room and there is not a fly to be found." —wendy haines

Price: $34.99

Promising review: "Easy to use and easy to read. I have a bonsai tree that only needs to be watered when almost dry. If it gets overwatered or dries out, it could die. This water meter takes the guesswork out of when to water it." —Brigitte Mason

Price: $9.87+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I had a set of these on my patio for a good 3–4 years. They were totally exposed to the elements: sun, heat, rain, etc. They only recently failed. At this price, I had no issue with replacing them with a new set. It cost less than buying a new fuse and a few replacement bulbs. And now I have plenty of extra bulbs from the old set." —CA Buyer

Price: $17.99+ (available in four colors and four lengths)

Promising review: "What a fun addition to the fence! These pots hang perfect! They are small but look amazing!" —Sue

Price: $17.99+ (for a set of 10 pots, available in three color varieties)

Promising review: "It took away the scum layer off our spa. We tried everything before that, even draining and it still came back. We put this scum bug in and a few hours later, no scum!" —Rob Fischer

Price: $14.99 (for a set of two)

Promising review: "I have a large slab acrylic glass on top of my wooden desk at my office that kept sliding around way too easily and has me worried that one day I would slide my computer off and break it. I bought this, followed the simple instructions and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. The acrylic top is completely locked in place on the wood and I feel so much more secure about having more delicate things on my desk. The gel is completely clear and leaves zero residue. One little bottle of this gel can easily be used for every single desk in my office; this stuff is magic!" —Grace Valenzuela

Price: $12.93

Promising review: "We love this umbrella light. I've actually bought it multiple times for others as gifts too. We take it down when our umbrella is closed, but that's super easy and I think extends the life. I'd recommend it." —NAH

Price: $11.97

Promising review: "Received this morning and already put them to use!! These will be wonderful for planting flowers in my pots this spring/summer! I'll no longer need my claw tool to dig out the old potting soil. I have medium-sized hands and the gloves fit loosely with room to spare... great stretchy material." —Elizabeth

Price: $7.95+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I have a silver satin pothos that has been the most stubborn plant to propagate. I've had it for years and every single cutting I take always dies. Pothos are supposed to easily propagate too! Not this variety. So I bought this rooting powder and finally have my first rooted cutting!" —Rebecca

Price: $5.68

Promising review: "I waited a few days to really test it out based on other reviews and I’m NOT disappointed! The quality truly lives up to the price. I naturally run hot at night and hate it! The gel pillows seriously work in keeping me cool at night, and I’m only 35. Get them! Definitely buying more for my family." —ErikaShanice

Price: $61.37+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Great desk chair, very stylish, and comfortable. I was looking for a desk chair that would look good in my bedroom and still be comfortable enough to work in all day. I love the color; light greige goes with pretty much everything. I can sit in it for hours because it allows for a lot of movement and shifting positions so you don't get tired. Good back support, and I feel like I'm sitting on a comfortable chair instead of a stiff office chair. Very happy with my purchase." —AVS

Price: $219.99

The set includes six markers, six wax crayons, and a sharpener.

Promising review: "These are great. I have several finishes on different pieces of furniture and after several years they were showing lots of scratches. Not anymore. Super easy to use and covered everything. Wasn't sure after paying such a minimal price that they'd work but they really do." —Kindle Customer

Price: $8.99

Promising review: "It is our walkway from the driveway to our side door, across 40 feet of lawn. The rain goes through. Your feet stay dry and clean. You don’t slip because of the textured surface. It looks and works better than artificial grass, flagstone, or mulch. It can be moved easily. Love it." —Sandra Anderson

Price: $89.01

Promising review: "Talk about upgrading the feel of your home! We love this so much! Naturally we are immediately buying one more. It’s a great flexible lighting solution; the light's not too bright or brash so it’s perfect with a newborn in the house. Absolutely a five-star buy!" —Rocky Rubio

Price: $99.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Looks nice and easy to use. The magnets hold well. It looks so real that my daughter tried to lift the door using the handle and we got a good chuckle when it came off in her hand." —Sewcrafty

Price: $17.32+ (available in five styles)

Promising review: "Very nice pool for the price. Big enough for two adults to comfortably sit and lounge in. Well-packaged and easy to blow up. Make sure not to overinflate as this can cause the seams to leak and give you issues later on. Doesn’t take too long to fill either, about 25 minutes or so. Would definitely order again. Hoping this will last for more than a summer, but if not then I’m fine with that." —Justin Ryan-Haile

Price: $42.49+ (also available with a pump)

Promising review: "I use it on everything from houseplants to my garden plants. I just used it to attach my sugar snap pea vines to their trellis. I really like that it can be reused. This is my third roll. I have to keep buying more as my garden and houseplant collections grow. With over 70 houseplants, and over a half acre of my property dedicated to gardening, I use this a lot!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $3.98+ (available in five sizes)

Promising review: "If you use this once a month, you'll never have to have your septic pumped again. I bought a house in 2018 and started using these about three months later, and have had zero septic issues. I also use the 'nice' toilet paper, which you're not really supposed to with a septic system, but these Gobblers seem to really do the trick! I can't recommend these enough." —Amazon Customer

Price: $11.98 (for a pack of six pods)

Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing! Her face is so peaceful and sweet and the pose is so thoughtful. It looks absolutely great with any type of flower or flower mix. Each different arrangement looks different so it’s always fun and new. I love it as decor even without flowers. I get a smile every time I look at it." —Booyeah 21

Price: $13.78

Promising review: "Wow I am so happy I got these shower curtain rings! They are effortless to install and remove, they slide easily, and now I don't have to remove the liner, curtain, and rings every time I want to wash the plastic liner (which gets moldy and full of bacteria). The double hooks are ingenious! While the beads at the top aren't the most aesthetically pleasing they are not an eyesore. All of this sounds like an overreaction but sometimes a product that makes chores much less difficult is just the best!" —GFP

Price: $6.99+ (available in eight colors)

P.S. I picked out a relatively short review, because I care about you and the health of your scrolling finger, but I feel like you need to know that reviewers compose essays about this lamp. When people are essentially writing novellas about a product, you know it's gotta be good.

Promising review: "I love that I can use the radio as the alarm noise in conjunction with the sunrise light feature. The color on the clock face is also a very soothing orange color so it’s not too abrasive to my eyes when I look at it in the middle of the night. Overall I am definitely pleasantly surprised. I was thinking that I might need to return it because I thought it might be cheaply made and that would bother me. But it does exactly what I needed it to do and it has definitely improved my ability to wake up promptly in the morning." —ilovepickles

Price: $32.88+ (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Love it! I rarely give five stars — well deserved. Should have bought these years ago! Now I can see what I've got in my closet — and it's organized! My best friend is going to buy them, too." —Honest Reviewer Blonde Shopper

Price: $12.99+ (available in two colors and three pack sizes)

Promising review: "I rarely leave reviews but I had to for this one. This screen door ended our fly problem the moment we put it on. We don't have a doggy door in our house so we had to leave the backyard door slightly open so our dog could go potty whenever she wants during the day. Having the door open, we had so many flies coming in it was actually gross. I tried all sorts of other natural remedies and none of them worked until I started looking for something where our dog can go in and out of. Luckily I found this screen door and couldn’t be happier lol. Installation was easy and quick and my dog learned how to use it right away. If you are looking for a solution to a fly problem, get it — you won’t regret it!" —Riela

Price: $26.99+ (available in three sizes)

According to the reviewer, the flowers in the photo above are more than a week old!

Promising review: "This vase looks nice and is easy to use. Does take a little hand strength to get the top off but once you figure out how to hold it, it's pretty easy. Love being able to change the water so easily and if the water gets icky looking because you forget to change it, nobody knows!" —S. mcgill

Price: $34.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors)

Promising review: "I got this to top my Nectar mattress. Midlife is fun (said nobody ever) and I wake up often sweating in the middle of the night. Since adding this, I have not woken up drenched in sweat. It's nice and fluffy, stays in place, makes the bed look better when made and does not really alter the things about my mattress that I really love, but just adds a little softness to the top. If my experience changes, I will update my review but so far, it is well worth it." —McJules

Price: $39.99+ (available in four colors and ten sizes)

Promising review: "In LOVE with the sunset projection lamp! I literally bought a second one the day it arrived. It creates a stunning sunset-like ambiance that warms up any room and sets the perfect mood. The light is inexpensive and easy to use; you can connect it to a computer or a USB wall plug-in, making it fully portable and a great addition to any desk or table. Overall, I highly recommend this light for anyone looking to add some beautiful, relaxing lighting to their space." —Nepeman

Price: $10.99+ (available in three styles)

Promising review: "My husband is planting and minding our garden this year as I recover from surgery. It was killing his knees to kneel. He found this and bought it on a lark and now will not garden without it. Best gardening purchase ever. He loved how clever it is to flip it over and 'sit a spell.' Great purchase." –Kat F

Price: $38.99

Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $20.98

Promising review: "Like a lot of us, my schedule can be super busy, which leads me to be a forgetful plant parent in remembering when I should fertilize. This was a great simple solution that seems to be working just fine!" –CT

Price: $5.69 (for a pack of 48 spikes)

Promising review: "Normally I'd ignore weeds, but this has me wanting to pull them all. The pincher does a great job at pulling deep tap roots, like dandelions and Queen Anne lace. The claw does well to get under shallow-rooted ground-cover types. I found the pincher does well to pick up spruce cones and I can use the claw to pull small fallen branches around. I'm sure I'll find lots more uses for this by walking around my property." —B. T. Smith

Price: $39.99

Promising review: "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson

Price: $5.97

Promising review: "Very very nice. I am a renter so putting a huge hole in the wall to hide my wires was not going to happen. After searching for something that can help with the look of the wires in my living room I am glad to have come across this socket! I love love it. I just installed it last night, I’m extremely happy with the look, and the adhesive works really well. I highly recommend." —Nlizr

Price: $23.95

Promising review: "I saw Wad-Free featured on a local TV segment. I was mildly skeptical. However, it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases or other items balled up and still wet when the dryer timer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the bottom so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these for gifts. LOVE this item!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.99

Promising review: "I needed a budget-priced pressure washer to replace a budget-priced pressure washer. I read and researched online reviews and decided on this one. One of the deciding features was that it was on wheels, so it would be fairly easy to move around. I didn't need one that was super high pressure (I just wanted to occasionally wash my deck and vinyl siding), and this one has worked out very well. It was pretty easy to assemble and get up and running. At first I didn't think it would be powerful enough to clean the dirt and grime off my composite decking, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover it did, in fact, work quite well. Time will tell if it has the staying power of my old washer, but for now it works great and the price was right! I would recommend it if you're looking for a basic pressure washer that delivers results!" —UmpJJ

Price: $149.99

Promising review: "This is an awesome little machine! I bought it for cleaning my open tread stairs and miscellaneous areas of heavy foot traffic, and it does not disappoint. It fits perfectly on the stair treads and has a top handle to lift easily to the next tread. Instructions are easy, everything fits together well with a place for everything, and the cord is a good length. The water solution sprays out in a thin, wide spray, which is great for open treads if you don’t want water to end up on the floor below. No leaking, with easy cleanup of the machine afterward. I’m impressed with the design of this little Bissel; it turned out to be just as good as I hoped it would be." —Vanessa C.

Price: $123.59

Promising review: "Every household with kids should have this thing. Actually, EVERY HOUSEHOLD, REGARDLESS! No more finding toothpaste everywhere but down the sink drain, no more throwing half a tube away because of lost caps, insert your favorite brand in the dispenser, and voilà! Simply press your brush against the lever and a perfectly portioned dollop every time. When it’s time to rinse, grab one of the 4 cups that are hidden at the top and bottom of this little masterpiece. Rinse your brush, open the storage compartment, hang the brush, and shut the lid! Bristles are covered and protected from the wide array of germs that like to inhabit bathrooms." —Jen

Price: $16.77+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "I’m a single mom of two, managing a full-time job, the kids, and dog, and always maintaining or fixing our forever home. Let’s just say when I first bought the house I couldn’t decide where to hang artwork and ended up with holes everywhere on the walls, especially my multiple failed attempts in hanging a curtain rod. Easy to use, fast, simple, and does a hell of a job!" —Mitra

Price: $11.89

Promising review: "We have several cats and a dog so fur is EVERYWHERE! I have another tool I would use that was inexpensive and works, but I was afraid to use it on my new couch cover (worried it might snag it). I’ve seen this for years, but didn’t want to spend the money, but with the new furniture covers, I thought I’d try it. It works brilliantly! Not just on the microfiber covers, but the carpeted sections of the cat tree too! I have even used it on my sweatshirt and coat! And it is very easy to clean out. It really is well worth the money; wishing I had bought it sooner." —Dani Smith

Price: $19.99

Promising review: "I used this product five years ago in the bathroom floor of a house we bought. It had beautiful beige tile and hideous orange grout. After cleaning the grout with a paste of Oxiclean, I applied the pen. It covered completely and I have beige grout. It has lasted without reapplying for five years. The floor is washed every week. We recently bought a vacation condo with beige tile and orange grout in the shower. I used the white pen and the shower looks brand-new. Now I ordered more for the floor." —Pamela Brucker

Price: $8.99+ (available in two tip widths)

P.S. The labels are included!

Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of Q-tips and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage

Price: $9.99 (also available in sets of two or three)

Promising review: “Never going to purchase paper towels again; these things work great for pickup of spills and cleaning. Rather than keeping gross sponges on the kitchen counter (after several uses they stink and look horrible) I'm tossing them out and only using these Swedish dishcloths. They work just as well, and when they get too dirty to clean with a simple rinse I toss them in with the laundry to thoroughly clean them. With the multipack, I just rotate in a new cloth while the older one is in the laundry. Surprisingly sturdy and a welcome reusable washcloth replacing multiple single-use products in my kitchen." —Scott

Price: $19 (for a pack of 10, available in nine colors and a multipack)

Promising review: "Have used this mat for about two months now and it's incredibly absorbent. To clean it, just toss it in a regular wash cycle and dry on low heat or let air-dry." —D. Mcknight

Price: $8.47+ (available in four sizes and 11 colors)

Promising review: "I have been in this thing every day since it came in the mail, I absolutely love it. I lie in it and read or play on my Nintendo Switch, usually with my 5-year-old and/or my dog. I have been in it with my sister as well, and together we are around 400 pounds. It held us no problem. It was the absolute best lying in it, reading a book, covered with a soft blanket while it poured the rain." —Kristy

Price: $69.99+ (available in 19 colors)

Promising review: "I had recently read an article how bad dryer sheets are for the environment and our clothes. I love these dryer balls. I bought a small bottle of lavender essential oil that I dab on a few balls before I put my clothes in the dryer but my boys like them unscented. The pack had six dryer balls; I vary how many I put in on the size of the load. As others have said, there is no banging in the dryer." —Zach Strosser

Price: $9.99+ (available in packs of four, six, or twelve)

Promising review: "This is so much better than the chemicals used to spray the shower doors to keep the water spots away. No chemical smell, no annoying application process. Just takes a minute after you shower to keep the doors looking great." —Karen

Price: $11.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "Works well for sneakers and shoes (make sure you order the right ones for your shoe size). Gives a nice organized look to my closet. I liked it so much I bought another one. Recommend." —CXD

Price: $35.99 (for a set of 12 boxes)

Promising review: "I was skeptical but I can definitively say this has been a huge help in my 6-year-old’s bedroom. She used to spend 10 minutes every night sniffing and dealing with allergies (with Zyrtec in her), preferred to sleep basically sitting straight up, and no amount of cleaning, dusting, and washing seemed to help. I leave this on level one 24 hours a day and after a few days, no more sniffing and she’s back to a normal sleeping position. I have it on her bedside table, so close to her head, and it’s quiet and gentle, acts like white noise. 100% worth the investment." —Hemmingway's Muse

Price: $89.99 (available in two colors)

P.S. Reviewers do note that the adhesive it comes with isn't super strong, so you might want to find a different method — both screws and wire seem to do the trick nicely.

Promising review: "I am so impressed!! We were INUNDATED with flies after forgetting to take our trash down one dang time! (huge L). I slapped one of these bad boys under the lid and just like MAGIC — no flies!!!! Not even one single disgusting maggot. It even survived being dumped by the truck and it still stayed! I will say, my can has this little hook that I put mine under and it worked. I’m so happy y’all. No more flies, no more maggots in the can!" —Kayla Eggenberger

Price: $9.84

Promising review: "I didn’t have much hope for ridding my toilet of the black ring stain from hard water. I have tried every chemical cleaner known to man with no results. I took my 'before' photo halfway through the job after I realized this thing was the real deal. I would advise that you turn off the water to the toilet, and give it a flush to bring your water line down. The pumice stone will dissolve with too much water, but wetting the stone does make it more effective and less squeaky against the porcelain." —Cecelia Stewart

Price: $11.99
