Promising review: "We have a door in the kitchen that leads to the yard, and live in a wooded area. We always have small bugs coming in through this door because we are always in and out with the dog. There was a week or two where we were seeing gnats or flies EVERY DAY. After we bought this, we saw a major difference. We don’t bother trying to kill anything now, as they all eventually follow the light. We leave it plugged in all day and night and love the results. We have four more replacement cards, and they don’t fill up easily, so I can see the cards lasting a while. My favorite part is that it acts as a night-light, and the sticky part is on the back, so we don’t even see the flies sticking to it until we unplug. Love the sleek and simple design of the plug-in as well. I’m so happy I don’t have to take out the swatter anymore. Highly recommend this product!" —Priscilla

"Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

IT'S WORTH IT!! I have always had one very large pore on my under-eye/cheek area next to my nose. I bought this hoping it would just help improve my overall skin journey and maaannnn...I will never use anything else! I do use the Anua Pore Control Cleansing Oil first and then use this cleanser after, and have noticed a HUGE improvement! My extra-large pore has shrunk three times its size, and I've noticed it's helped pull extra gunk from the pores in my nose that I didn't even know were there! My skin feels so clean after using it!" —Molly Martinez

Promising review: "Doesn’t disrupt nearby plants. For weeds with long roots like bindweed, follow along the weed's root. You’ll get a feel for it with practice. The tip has a sharper angle than my last one, so it's good for cutting the roots of shallow-rooted plants. It’s a game changer, for sure. Good, sturdy, well-made, and has a comfortable handle." —Hanna

Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given my husband, and I bought our first house and knew nothing about caring for a yard, and 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 weed 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" —JG

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was skeptical, but I am AMAZED! I live in a third-floor, 950-square-foot apartment with vaulted ceilings. I needed something that would cool down the living room (which is a big open room shared by the kitchen, dining room, and hallway). We have a portable AC in both bedrooms, and at one point, I tried running both of them in the living room, but it would just not cool down. I was beginning to lose hope that the living room would ever cool down. I bought this unit and a very powerful fan, but since day one, I have not needed to use the fan. This thing is so powerful at cooling. It cools down the entire room (with vaulted ceilings) in less than eight minutes. It was easy to install as well. 12/10 would recommend" —Alexandrea Courtney-Wilson

Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in three styles).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (and keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

Get it from Amazon for $8.04.

Note: Some reviewers suggest ordering one size down.

Promising review: "I bought these when I was a retail manager at a grocery store, and I was required to walk and stand anywhere from 8–14 hours per day at my job. These shoes held up tremendously.

Wiped it out, double-checked the filter, and my dishwasher looks brand new. I will definitely be buying these again! The scent was also great and I have sensitivity to strong smells, which can make cleaning hard due to allergies, but this didn't really bother me." —Alaura Price

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

Promising review: "A must-have! This cover-up is perfect! The sleeve length is dreamy. Truly, I've been looking for a cover-up like this since my teens, and nothing was ever just right.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'm always skeptical of these kinds of products, but I went ahead and decided to give this stain remover a chance because I have clothes that have small grease spots from cooking that I never notice until after I've already washed them. I used this on those items (which have already gone through the dryer several times), as well as my trusty old 'period panties' that hide in the back of my drawer. I sprayed it on the stains pretty generously, let it sit for a few hours, and then washed them as I usually do. When I took everything out of the dryer, the stains were gone! I have never seen such results from anything I've used before, including all of the big name stain removers that claim to be the best. This product will remain a staple in my laundry room forever!" —Kerry

"Pros: It’s lightweight, no rusting, and sturdy even on a windy day (it’s the beach, of course, it’s windy). It was soooo easy to take down and pack up, and it has great coverage!!

"Cons: It took more time (lots of sand digging) to set up than a regular canopy. I watched the videos beforehand, and once we figured it out, it was very easy. We’ve been here for five-plus hours, and it hasn’t moved! Would definitely recommend! We’ve been through so many canopies in the past, and I’m hopeful this one will last a long while!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We have bad backs, and that makes it hard to scrub the shower/tub without being in pain for days. After reading reviews, we decided to purchase and are glad we did. My hubby sprayed it in the shower/tub and left it for 24 hours. The next morning, he used the showerhead on high and rinsed the dirt down the drain. We could not believe how well it worked. We thought we would have to do some scrubbing, but nope. Worked great." —H. Ginn

Promising review: “I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend.

Amazon

Promising review: "I have two girls, and we spend a lot of time outside in the summers. I work as a nurse and have seen scalp skin cancer, and I definitely wanted to protect myself and my girls. We usually use the regular spray, but it leaves the hair greasy or stiff. This has a great scent, and a little goes a long way! I was worried about the small size, but it lasted us all summer. Also leaves no residue." —Liz Young

Get it from Amazon for $28.

30. A box of 12 extra-large washing machine cleaner tablets because no one wants to toss dirty clothes into a dirty machine; this double negative does NOT make a positive.

"I had been noticing whiffs of an odd mildew-y smell in the vicinity of the laundry area for a while and figured I'd give this a try. It was super sudsy in there while the cycle was running, and after the cycle completed and everything was dried out, the mildew-y smell was gone. This has no scent of its own, which I also very much appreciate." —Linda in NJ

31. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS
