www.amazon.com

Promising review: "NEVER GETTING MY NAILS PROFESSIONALLY DONE AGAIN. I love having long nails. I do not like spending fifty bucks just to get them painted. I tried the gel polish, with gel top coat; I tried the gel system with the lamps; I tried every polish out there. My hands get washed hundreds of times daily. This stuff is unbelievable. It really works the way they say it does. I applied it about one or two minutes after finishing a second coat of color and within minutes it had bonded and set and my nails stay shiny and polished for over a week. That is not the full two weeks claimed, but I am unusually hard on my nails so over a week is AWESOME. I immediately ordered several more." —Amazon Customer

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D.

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more.

This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher. I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget. It will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. It was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." —Jennifer

Promising review: "I was skeptical but I was also tired of cleaning my air fryer of crumbs all the time. I have a PowerXl air fryer and one of these fits perfectly in there. I can do French fries or any other fried food and discard the liner and the fryer is still nice and clean. I use two when I do juicy items, hot dogs, chicken breast, and sausage, and when I'm done, I take out the meat and lift out the liners and all the gross juice comes out with it leaving the fryer ready to clean in the sink with hot water, no gross juice to pour out or get in the sink. I highly recommend." —Kevin M. Harer

It works well, it's quiet, small, easy to take with you if you so desire, and most importantly...IT WORKS!!! I'm a soon-to-be-65-year-old woman who has hair where I never did before, most annoying. This gets rid of it. I used it again a couple of days later and what I am finding is that I need to use it less and less. Really cool!" —Sandy E'Bell

Bottle Bright is a US-based small business established in 2009 that specializes in cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The iRobot works great!! It cleans up all the hair, that is what I’m excited for. I named mine Rosie, and I feel like I’m in The Jetsons. It works perfectly great. Best thing for the money, battery life stays pretty good. It learns the apartment and returns home. Can’t even tell she’s running because it is quiet. Still figuring out how to map certain areas in my apartment to get her to go to one location to clean instead of doing the whole apartment every time, but it works like a dream." —SusannAnns

Tending to the boiling pot of pasta was just part of the process. I’ve been getting tired of cooking as I’ve aged. This simple little microwave pasta cooker has simplified cooking so much more than I could have imagined. Seems silly, but it’s kinda like a little miracle. No more toting a heavy pot to the stove. It’s simple, lightweight, and foolproof." —Winky

Get it from Amazon for $14.73. 

21. A microwave cooling caddy that doesn't get hot so you can pop your grub out of the microwave without waiting for it to cool down or grabbing oven mitts. Especially important when several humans need the microwave and you can't be lingering there waiting for your soup bowl to be grab-able.

Country Chic Paint is a family-owned small business that specializes in all-in-one paint. 

Promising review: "I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." —Anna

Psst – each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch!). 

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles).

25. A purse organizer insert for anyone who is committed to the ~tote bag~ lifestyle, but doesn't love digging through them like a feral raccoon. Another perk? If you're switching out your purse, all you have to do is slide the organizer out and pop it in with all your stuff raring to go.

Promising review: "I was looking for something to get all the hair that was clogged in my shower drain. I was so over using liquid drainer solutions and them not working. It was a little hard to get down my drain, but after a few tries I got it down in there and twisted it to the right and pulled up. The amount of hair and gunk that came out was satisfying yet disgusting! I read a bunch of the reviews saying it broke but I didn’t have any issues with the durability. They also provide 6 so if one breaks just use another one. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I’ll never go back to liquid draining solutions ever again!" —BM

Promising review: "I started to make lunch boxes recently and was looking for reliable containers. Didn't want to have plastic ones, so after searching decided to choose this five-pack glass set and have no regrets so far.

I followed the suggestion from other reviewers and installed it under the cabinet with the bottom of the ‘V’ facing away from the wall. You will have to twist the bottle counterclockwise. This method works well. I haven’t had to use the little screws. I definitely recommend this item! It is wayyyyy better than the silicone grips." —Mariposista Queen

Promising review: "I saw this product on a 'Best of Amazon' YouTube video. I instantly saw the value of being able to switch laundry from the washing machine to the dryer in one easy motion, so I ordered it. It makes switching laundry so easy! It's also a great replacement for laundry baskets. I recently stayed with an ill family member, knowing that I'd be doing laundry at her house. I hauled along my Laundry Turtle, which folded up into a small bundle, and used it at her house. No matter the size of the load, one revolution of the washing machine put all of the damp clothes in the Turtle and made transferring laundry so easy! I agree that it is one of Amazon's best household items." —Jeril
