Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni

Promising reviews: "I am of Scottish ancestry, and my normal, natural hair makes it look like I just crawled out of the bog. Wavy. Victim to humidity. Frizzled. Extremely thick. It normally takes me a solid hour and a half to dry and style. I used this product for the first time today and was absolutely shocked. My hair is now so, so soft and manageable. The biggest surprise was how FAST it was to dry and style! It only took me 15 minutes today! This may be the best thing I’ve ever bought on Amazon!" —Hildegard S. Payne
"As someone who frequently colors and bleaches my hair, I’ve tried various repair treatments, including Olaplex, K18, and Boldplex. While all of them have improved my hair's quality, this protein treatment stands out as my favorite. The results are impressive—my hair feels repaired, with improved texture and shine, especially after chemical treatments. If you’re looking for an affordable alternative for high-end brands like Olaplex or K18, this is definitely worth trying." —One Woman Says

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

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
Get it from Amazon for $13.83.
Promising review: "I’m not usually blown away by products, in fact, I’m used to being a little disappointed. But not with this product! This stuff is perfect for traveling. It got rid of wrinkles and static quickly, and the scent is an added bonus. Would definitely recommend and will be buying more." —DdWojo

Promising review: "Where have these little things been all my life?! I got the original four-pack, but since trying one, I don't think I can ever drink from a can straight ever again! I'll be carrying these in my purse from now on. They are WAY better than your brain could ever conjure up from a photo. Just buy them, don't even think about it! This is 5 stars, two thumbs up, highly recommended!" —Lirpa
Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.
Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had and wouldn’t clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It’s been less than 36 hours, and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill

Promising review: "The wipes are thick and soft, and they make it so easy to clean my indoor plants. I know I can just use a damp rag at home, but I've been dealing with spider mites coming in and getting onto some of my plants. Using the wipes helps me feel more confident that I'm not going to spread anything around when cleaning my plants up." —Ginny Ortiz

Promising reviews: "I'd left an old pan in the sink for a day or two, and the water caused it to rust and leave an ugly rust stain in the sink. I tried EVERYTHING. I scrubbed and wiped, and nothing worked. Legit, two seconds into scrubbing with this, the stain came off. I swear, it's worth every cent! It doesn't leave any gross smell, and it's real quality stuff. My sink looks perfect now!!" —Alexis
"I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall, and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything.

Promising review: "I have seen so many videos of this product on social media that I decided I was going to try it. I am so glad I let myself be influenced to buy this because this product is simply amazing! My under-eye area looks flawless. I have some redness and discoloration under my eyes, and this evens my skin tone and totally covers my dark circles and imperfections. I apply it the same way I apply a regular concealer; I put it on before I put on my foundation, and it blends very well. I hope Catrice never discontinues this product because I plan to buy it from now on. I totally recommend it. I can't believe it is only $6, and you also get a lot of product because you only need a little bit. This is perfection!" —Yise

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

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

Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy!

Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this product because I wasn’t sure if it would work or not, but WOW!!!!! It works!!!! Amazing!! I’ve been to a music festival for the past two years, and from walking too much, I’ve gotten the worst chafing. This year, I decided to buy this and use it during my two days at the music festival. No chafing whatsoever!!! I did reapply a few times (because I was walking tons/sweating). But seriously, this product is wonderful. I tried deodorant last year, and that was no help for me. This is my new go-to, and I’m excited to use it more this summer! Buy this!" —Queen268

Promising review: "My dishwasher has been the bane of my existence lately. No matter what I do, I can't get it clean. Got this stuff ran one cycle (we have super super hard water) and bam! 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: "I was surprised what a difference these new shower curtain hooks made. They slide SOOOO much better across the shower curtain rod than the ones I had previously. There are also two hooks (one on each side), making it a breeze to change out or wash the shower curtain liner without removing the shower curtain. This saves so much time and aggravation!!! I will be purchasing this type from now until forever!" —MaryMaryinLA

Promising review: "WOW. For the last 10 years or so, I've had terrible dandruff. I have very thick hair (28, male) and have always used Head and Shoulders. I tried this product and (I'm not joking), after one single use, I have 99% fewer flakes. Nearly NOTHING. I just scratched my head, and the usual snowbank of dandruff didn't fall from my head, and I was shocked. That's what led me to write this review, LOL. It has been two days since I used this product, and there is still next to no dandruff coming from my head. WOW. Do yourself a favor and BUY THIS PRODUCT if you have mild to severe dandruff like I do!" —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "White clothing very much highlights the cleanliness of the washer because now they come out with none of the spots we experienced before. Also appreciate the calendar on the side of the box to keep track of usage." —Josar
"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
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a 6-pack).
Promising review: "This is the best cat litter product ever!!! It catches so much litter. It used to get all over, especially since our kitten is very enthusiastic about covering up her poop! Everywhere you stepped there was litter, no matter how often I swept! Once I started using this mat, it all changed! No more litter scattering! We have a large-size litter box, and this mat is big enough to cover the area around all sides! It’s SUPER easy to clean. Just pick up the mat, open the top, and dump out the contents into the garbage. That’s it! No vacuuming, scrubbing, washing, etc. I HIGHLY recommend this product!" —Susan R.

Promising reviews: "Does the trick of getting hair out of the roller. Happy I bought it." —Pat S
"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

Now I can safely sneeze without having to remember to cross my legs, lol. I have not mastered all the weights yet, but I am getting there. In just a few short weeks, I am able to keep the hot pink weights in with no problem. Super glad I bought these!!" —Brandon

Promising review: "I am so amazed with this product; it absolutely works. I’m so glad to find a product that does what it promises to do. My feet always need to be exfoliated due to dead skin buildup. I have used all sorts of files — electric and manual — all kinds of foot soaks, and other products with no lasting results. This product took off all of the dead skin, left my feet baby skin–soft and has lasted weeks. I used this and then used a soft foot file to remove dead skin. You will be amazed by how well it works. I will absolutely buy again as needed. I have only used it once, and there seems to be a lot of product left, so it goes a long way. A great price for something that finally works. Trust me." —cheryl

Promising review: "I am beyond impressed with this hair serum! After just a few uses, my hair feels softer, shinier, and so much more manageable. It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave any greasy residue, which is a huge plus for me since I have fine hair. I noticed a reduction in frizz and split ends almost immediately, and it even seems like my hair is growing healthier and stronger. The scent is subtle and pleasant, too. This serum has quickly become a must-have in my hair care routine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a true hair transformation!" —Jasmeen
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).
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

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

PSA: There's a chance that the included Velcro-like adhesive can become dirt-traps when the filters are removed. Also, some reviewers wrote that the adhesive peeled the finish off of their fan during removal. We recommend installing these filters with Command strips instead if you're concerned about either of those issues happening!

Promising review: "Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean, and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets), and almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then, more came out as the formula had time to circulate. I'm so glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house, and I thought, 'Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.' Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out." —Aaron Johnson

Promising review: "Our hot tub was so much grosser than I could have imagined. The amount of ick that this stuff got out of the jets was surprising. Honestly, so embarrassing. I drained and cleaned the tub a few months ago, but did not think of getting this jet cleaner. I will not make that mistake again. The hot tub smells so so clean now. I will definitely use this again next time I drain the tub." —Kaerlia

Promising review: "As a parent, I’ve learned that you need a survival kit for trips to places like Disney, and this fan is now officially a part of mine. We were in the middle of a scorching hot day at Disney World; my kid was melting down (as kids tend to do when they’re 97% sweaty). Enter this little fan. First off, it’s battery-operated, so you don’t have to worry about hunting down a charger when you’re halfway across the park. And the rechargeable USB feature is a lifesaver. It clipped right onto the stroller, and suddenly, my child was as cool as a cucumber." —Quoleo

The rotating feature lets me see the whole room, and the night vision is surprisingly clear. I really appreciate the barking alerts — it’s nice to know when my pup is getting restless. The two-way speaker is a favorite; I can talk to my dog and even toss him treats from my phone, which he loves! The app is super easy to use, making it simple to keep an eye on him. Overall, this camera has made it so much easier to stay connected with my furry friend when I'm not home. Highly recommend it for any dog owner!" —Amber T White
