Promising review: "I’m speechless. This product is absolutely amazing! No more trying to find a clean way to dispose of used grease." —Melissa B

Promising review: "Recommended 10 out of 10!Buythis ASAP! Easy to use — followed the directions on the package. Adding this to my must-buy list from now on! So much better than using a funnel and attempting to pour it in a bottle." —TeachinJay86

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three styles).

2. A Chom Chom roller that's essentially a lint roller for pet hair, but guess what... there's nothing sticky about it (aka no wasteful sheets to toss)! Pet owners rave about this since it picks up all the hair attached to your couch, favorite blanket, *and* outfit of the day. And when you're done, just empty it right into the trash.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m speechless. I had all but given up hope of finding something to remove the dog hair off my microfiber sofas. I have a lab/Shepard mix and the shedding is out of control. This took the hair off both couches effortlessly. My only concern is how it will hold up in the future, the plastic feels kind of cheaply made, but I would honestly buy another one if I needed to." —Kindle Customer

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

3. A veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer for a quick slice and (of course) chop during your time-consuming meal prep. No need to tremble in fear when your recipe calls for a diced onion because *this* can do it in seconds (without you crying). And the built-in storage container will hold everything until it's time to add your veggies to a dish.

www.amazon.com

It comes with a small-dice blade, large-dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade that are interchangeable and gives you the option to chop, slice, and julienne vegetables. Plus, you get a lid with a built-in chop and a storage container to hold the veggies.

Promising review: "I have a lot of kitchen gadgets. A lot. When I say this one is life-altering, I’m not kidding. I have used it for all veggies, garlic cloves, cheese, and even pats of butter for my buttermilk biscuits. I put cherry tomatoes in there for a chopped Italian salad and was rendered speechless by the ease. I can chop an entire onion in under 30 seconds. Bottom line: buy it. Worth every penny." —Kevin

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors and also five other styles).

4. A vacuum hose attachment to quickly suck out all of the dryer lint that's built up — it could *actually* cause a fire if you're not careful. Instead of calling (and waiting for) a professional to do it for you, just attach this to your vacuum and get to it — the flexible hose is over 2.6 feet long to reach deeeep into the machine.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Honestly, we are speechless! We are excellent about cleaning the lint trap after every load of clothes. We even cleaned the lint vent outside. But nothing could have prepared us for the amount of lint and gunk trapped in the vent tubing! How we have never had a fire, we have no idea. We vacuumed forever all the way up the vent tube, which we could have in no way done without this item. The suction power was unbelievable! We could not believe how bad the tubing was clogged. Just look at the picture (above). We removed about three-quarters of a kitchen garbage bag size of lint and gunk! It was amazing and embarrassing! It’s SO inexpensive, but it could literally save you from a house fire! Anyway, just buy it. Excellent value! You won’t be sorry!" —Brian Mattix/Elizabeth Bodnam

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors).

5. A boot and shoe stretch spray if your new kicks are too tight and possibly causing those dreaded blisters. Spray this potion over the tight parts of your shoes, put on thick socks, slip on your shoes, and walk until dry — your feet will feel *so* much more comfortable!

Amanda Davis / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Foot Matters is a small biz that specializes in foot care and shoe care accessories.

Promising review: "I'm speechless. So, I got a pair of Doc Martens for my birthday two weeks ago, STIFF LIKE A 2X4. I tried them on; they killed my heel and were suffocating my feet. Anyway, I did some research and came across this product. I read a review of someone using them for work boots, so I said hell why not? Got the product today, CHILD LET ME TELL YOU! My boots got looser in less than an hour! Hands down best product I've ever used to stretch any boots!" —Veronica

Get it from Amazon for $10.99

6. A FURemover Broom that picks up hair like a "magnet" so your carpet, tile, and wood floors can go back to being hair-free. You'll be shocked at how *much* this thing easily rakes up from your carpets and rugs — because trust me when I say there *is* deeply buried hair. It's just hiding!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

It works on all floor types — especially carpet! It also has a built-in squeegee which makes cleaning up spills on hard surfaces a breeze.

Promising review: "I am speechless on how well this works...absolutely speechless. It got up so much dog hair I was in shock!

I use it on almost every surface of my house lol!!" —Jordan Limas

Instead of standing over a hot stove, just choose your setting and hit start. Now you can focus on cooking other things without any worry, you're gonna end up with mushy or crunchy rice, 'cause... ew.

www.amazon.com

It has settings for white *and* brown rice, quick cooking, and a keep warm button so your rice stays in pristine condition. It can also steam veggies or even bake a sponge cake or cheesecake! Btw, reviewers say to rinse your rice before cooking for the best results.

Promising review: "Best rice cooker EVER! I’m speechless. Delicious rice. Easy clean up. Looks fantastic on my counter top!" —Tanya Baldwin

Promising review: "This rice cooker is the bomb! It cooks each type of rice perfectly, and I am thrilled! It replaced an older dependable Zojirushi. As a personal chef, perfect rice is vital." —beachgal

Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in two sizes and four styles). 

8. Essence's Lash Princess mascara that'll instantly lengthen and volumize your lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush (without annoying clumps or globs), so you'll feel like a falsies expert without overworking yourself. It's also super affordable and sweat-proof — so this may be your new go-to!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Promising review: "After seeing this posted everywhere, I finally decided to try it. WOW! I will never use another mascara again. This mascara goes on beautifully. The thickness and darkness of the mascara truly do make it look like you are wearing false lashes. I also love how easily it comes off in the shower with my face wash. It does not leave a smudge. This mascara lasts all day and does not smudge under the eye at all. I have bought this mascara for every girlfriend I have because it left me speechless. Definitely one of my favorite makeup products to date!" —MJK

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

9. A wine-stain-removing spray because we've all been there — one sip of Pinot turns into a little too much fun, and next thing you know, red wine is everywhere. No worries! This stain remover has your back. Just spray it on, blot, rinse, and watch the stain disappear. Now, you can keep the good vibes going without stressing over spills.

www.amazon.com

The Hate Stains Co. is a small biz that makes various stain solutions because, as they put it, we live in a messy world.

Promising review: "Wow. I can’t believe this actually works. This is one of those cases where I wish I had taken a before and after. I found a luxury high-end sportcoat at a thrift store with a sizable wine stain on the front for dirt cheap and thought it would be worth it to take a risk and try to clean it up. I pre-moistened the stain with water, then sprayed a good amount of this product in. Used towels to dry up/blot the area as much I could, hung the sportcoat out to air dry, and crossed my fingers. A few days later, magic. The stain was completely gone. Speechless." —Rob

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five varieties).

10. A Kitsch satin heatless curling set so you can wake up to gorgeous curls without the damage that can come from using hot styling tools. Plus, doing your hair won't take as long — which is a must when you wake up and don't feel like getting out of bed.

www.amazon.com

Reviewers with thin, thick, straight, wavy, curly, and coily (1A—4C) hair types say they *love* this.

Promising review: "I'm speechless! This product is everything and more!" — Reneida L. Williams

Promising review: "I suck at curling my hair. I’m curl-challenged. I wave my hair often, but sometimes you just want to have that beautiful curled look. Like you really have your life together, you know. This picture is after a spritz and 2 hr wait. I’m impatient, but the results have me strut 👏🏻 ting 👏🏻 you feel me! I highly recommend. It’s not complicated at all; I did zigzag my part in the back because I heard that helps, and I confer. The back is seamless! I’ve tried the robe tie way but there’s not the same amount of volume I’m getting from this set. BUY THIS PRODUCT!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I really loved them. I have curly 4C hair and straighten it, but I wanted a curly look without more heat damage. They turned out adorable; however, don’t expect it to last longer than a few hours (for curly girls), but 10/10 would recommend." —L

Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in 12 colors).

11. A shoe cleaning kit reviewers say works fast to make your shoes spotless and squeaky clean. This works on leather, suede, canvas, and MORE, so you can restore the endless collection of comfy shoes you can't part ways with.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You should follow the instructions on the bottle. Start by getting the brush a little damp, apply two to three drops of the Pink Miracle on the brush. Then scrub your shoes and re-wet the brush as needed. When you're done, you can use a cloth to wipe away any dirt, soap, and water.

Promising review: "Awesome stuff!!! Speechless!!!" —Darryl N.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Speechless. Wow. I dont know what to say... my whole life I've dreamt of having smooth bump-free legs, but no matter what I did or how much I exfoliated... it was never as clear as I saw on other girls. With just a few uses of this.. voila!!! Just like that!?!! Why did it take me so long to come across this amazing product" —Nancy

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Prepare yourself emotionally before using this product. I’m speechless. I’m just going to post a picture and go throw up..." —TK72812

Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and had never used our jetted tub. One day last week I decided I needed a nice long soak, filled up the tub only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up online what the best way to clean a jetted bathtub was and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why, this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. We were so impressed, I purchased another bottle as a housewarming gift for my sister-in-law who is moving into her new house next week. You will not be disappointed, and I'd be shocked if the first words out of your mouth when you use this stuff weren't 'OH YUK'!" —Kimmy D

Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in a two-pack and refill size).

14. A powerful hand immersion blender with three interchangeable heads so you can blend, whisk, *and* froth. It'll make cooking soups, sauces, and dips so much easier since you can blend right in a pot and not transfer things from dish to dish. It has eight speeds *and* a ~turbo~ button so you can blend every last chunk. And reviewers say it's easy to clean, lightweight, and BETTER than the more expensive Cuisinart Stick Blender. 👀

www.amazon.com

One reviewer said to start on the lowest speed before going up to higher speeds to minimize splashing your ~culinary creation~ everywhere.

Promising review: "I've been wanting to get an immersion blender for forever. First to blend squash for soup and then to make the occasional malt shake without having to pull out and clean up my full-on blender. I have to say, I'm totally speechless. I decided to make cardamom shortbread cookies tonight and thought that no way could I use the whisk attachment, which seemed flimsy and only suited for eggs and cream. I thought I'd try for 30 seconds or so to see what happened and it blended it all up alright. My goodness, not its intended use, for sure — and not that I'd want to try that again — but this thing sure is powerful. Love, love, love." —Savvy Shopper

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

15. A car vacuum cleaner because we like to think our ride will *stay* clean post-deep cleaning, but accidents happen! Reviewers with kids and dogs say this sucks up crumbs and hair with no issue at all. It plugs right into your 12V outlet and one reviewer said the super long cord was able to reach the back of their Ford Expedition!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter.

Promising review: "Speechless. For months, I have been procrastinating on buying this vacuum for my car. Now that I have it in my possession, it works perfectly and does the job. It's light to handle and just a push of a button. Also comes with an extra filter." —Abby

Get it from Amazon for $20.46 (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 

16. A Revlon one-step hairdryer and volumizer brush so you can simultaneously dry *and* style your hair at the SAME. TIME. — meaning you can cut your styling process in HALF. You'll waltz into your morning with a salon-style blowout that looks so good people will say, "I didn't know Drybar opened so early."

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m not one to write a review, but this brush has left me speechless. I have curly hair, it usually takes me 1hr to get my hair straight. 45min blow drying with brush and blower, 15min to flat iron. I’ve tried many dryer brushes, and none have been strong enough to straighten my hair on the first go; that’s why I chose to keep doing it the old-fashioned way. I am in LOVEEEEE. It not only reduced my drying time in half, but it does an amazing job. Left my hair looking like a salon blow, shiny, straight, and with volume. My roots have always been a struggle, and this brush got them done perfectly." —kriver12

Get it from Amazon for $31.49+ (available in three versions and seven colors).

17. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds because the sound quality, different sets of squishy ear tips (for a custom fit!), and waterproof design (which Apple AirPods are NOT) can match or even outdo their more expensive cousin. Reviewers rave about how these last for years and are shockingly good for how cheap they are.

www.amazon.com

The earbuds come in a wireless charging case with up to 14 hours of charge. The earbuds themselves can play for up to four hours on a full charge.

Promising review: "I was not expecting very high-quality earbuds at this price point, as the only thing I have to compare these to are Apple products, and we all know how much those cost. However, these sound just as good as my stepson's AirPods and actually fit my ears more comfortably! These have really surprised me, though. The case is made very well and has a magnetic clasp, the earbuds are kept in place inside the case with magnets, and setting up to pair is super easy. It took me about 15 seconds to get them paired to my phone. I've been using them off and on throughout the day for probably four hours or so in total and have had no issues with battery power whatsoever. You can also activate a one-year warranty after receiving your purchase, which is always reassuring." —Arrington Grey

Get it from Amazon for $18.97+ (available in five colors).

18. An exfoliating scrub mitt that'll leave you shocked with how much dead skin comes off your body. Not only will you feel squeaky clean stepping out of the shower, but your skin will feel so soft and smooth, too. Reviewers say this also helps prevent ingrown hairs and reduces keratosis pilaris!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? This is a miracle product. It’s able to remove built-up dead skin caused by an autoimmune skin condition. I was speechless while using it for the first time because I never thought such a seemingly simple product could have such immediate results. Just use according to instructions (soak skin in warm/hot water for 20 minutes before exfoliating. Just water, no soap, salts or oils during initial soak. Hand wash product after each use and do not overuse). You might have to change your bath water 2-3 times depending on your skin type/issues. I saw immediate improvement after the first use and each subsequent weekly use. I anticipate the purchase will last at least six months because it comes with two gloves. You can really only use one at a time." — Kennedy Marie Hernandez

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four colors and a set of two). 

19. A screen cleaner kit because your show — *cough* Game of Thrones *cough* — is already so poorly lit that you're squinting to see it. And those messy smudges are just rubbing salt in the wound. The included spray and microfiber cloth will keep your TVs so crystal clear you'll think you have a portal to another world.

www.amazon.com

Screen Mom is a small biz that makes a cleaning solution for TV, laptop, and car screens that won't damage them.

The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more!

Promising review: "I have never written a review and have bought dozens of Amazon products. I was quite skeptical. I am speechless. Used another cleaner on my new TV that had smudges from mounting it and had streaks and marks so bad I thought I ruined my brand-new OLED TV. Took two sprays on the cloth from this product and bam crystal clear. 5 stars plus!!!!! I never will have to use anything else." —Emma fleming

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes).

20. A mold and mildew remover for the deepest, darkest parts of your grout and caulk — it'll lift the yuck out without super intense scrubbing. Apply the concentrated gel formula, wait at least six hours, and watch those stains *poof* out of existence!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m speechless at how great this works. I’d tried everything to rid my newish and quite expensive shower of the bits of black mold buildup that had popped up under the clear caulk. I mean I tried everything. Nothing really removed much of it. This product removed probably 95% of the mold with zero effort. I’m blown away by the results. It’s just that much of a life hack. I’m a buyer for life." —Justin Cook

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

21. An eyeliner stamp so you can get the perfect cat eye without the fuss of keeping a constant, steady hand. It features dual ends — one for stamping and the other has a fine tip for putting eyeliner on the rest of your eyelid. Save yourself the time that it takes to freehand a flawless wing and stamp on this waterproof liner instead.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Lovoir is a small biz that makes beauty products for your eyes, nails, and face.

Simply line up the stamp from the corner of your eye to the end of your eyebrow and stamp to create the perfect wing on both sides. The stamp is waterproof *and* smudge-proof, so you won't have to worry about reapplying throughout the day. 

Promising review: "Amazon makes all things possible, even the perfect winged liner. I’m speechless. I’ve never been able to do winged liner in the 30 years I’ve walked the earth. This product is amazing, it’s seamless. Literally, it’s fool-proof. Not to mention it has great staying power, it’s very dark, and hasn’t smudged all day. I seriously wasn’t expecting to like it this much!" —Taylor

Get the set of two (one for each eye) from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo-pack).

22. The Pink Stuff, a cleaning paste that'll leave you amazed as it cuts through stains, grease, and grime on basically anything. Your child's crayon Van Gogh on your freshly painted wall? Solved. Tarnished Jewelry? Forget about it! Your bathtub that's *so* dirty you think replacing it would be faster? Nope, The Pink Stuff can solve allll of that for ya in a flash thanks to its abrasive formula!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I must share this product. I tried EVERYTHING (aside from using a razor) on my glass shower doors/walls and NOTHING!! I saw this product mentioned so tried it…I was speechless. A Mr. Clean magic eraser paired with this…my soap/mildew/call it what you will…just poof!!! I dream of Genie style!!! Gone!! Clear as day!! I haven’t used it elsewhere, but I’m sure stainless appliances would be amazing too. :)" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for 5.97+ (also available with a sponge).

23. A bottle of callus-removing gel for results so good you'll think you just purchased magic in a bottle. Reviewers say it "melts" off tough, dead calluses and leaves skin soft and supple. Just pre-soak your feet in warm water, apply it, let it sit for five to 10 minutes, and rinse it off!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

And it's super easy to use! All you have to do is presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse.

Promising review: "I'm speechless. My 33-year-old calluses are magically gone! My feet feel good with no socks now." —Ian

Promising review: "This stuff works so well! It melts the calluses away, and my feet feel so smooth after. Just be careful getting it on any clothing or towels because it does change the color of the fabric. Learned this the hard way. I highly suggest this product!" —Audrey

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents and two- or three-packs).

24. And a foot file if there's some lingering dead skin on your feet — and you want it gone ASAP. Just rub this back and forth and watch that dead skin fall right off.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve used pumice stones, sonic pedicure machines, you name it…I still had thick and hard soles along with dry and scaly heels. I’ve used this foot file for just two days, and I’m speechless. I finally found something to rid my embarrassing feet. It’s the smoothest I’ve seen my feet and heels in decades! Wow!" —FrankSFO

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

Buzzfeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has tried this and it's gotten the stamp of approval from her: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

Promising review: "This stain remover has saved many items of clothing I would have otherwise thrown in the trash. I heard about this product on a Facebook group and decided to give it a try. It really has removed every stain I have had, even after drying. The only stain I could not get out was a mustard stain. I let it sit on the close for a pre-treat, then toss it in, and the clothes come out stainless." —April

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in refill pouches).

Promising review: "I’m pretty lazy about washing my face at night etc. I do it in the shower morning and after gym, but that’s it. Now that it’s sunny my nose has some black heads. I tried this and 30 seconds later was speechless. My skin was so smooth and my nose looked great. I doubt I’ll do more than one time a week because I think it did a great job." —John J Dean Jr

Get it from Amazon for $12.50
