Promising review: "The product is well constructed and was simple to install. Compared to all the other ones that I have tried, this one is by far the best and worth every penny. It sits firmly on my visor and I can adjust it any which way to block out the glaring Florida sunlight. I pull it down as if it were a giant pair of Ray Ban sunglasses. Blocks out all harmful rays and helps to avoid accidents from severe sun glare traveling west-bound late afternoon, as the sun is directly in my path of vision and is blinding. I love this product and I highly recommend it. Don't bother with all the other TV-advertised junk; it cracks, it's unreliable, and a piece of you know what. This is the real McCoy, and I am going to buy another one for my wife's car." —Amazon Customer

Glare Guard is a Pennsylvania-based small business that specializes in visors for cars and trucks. Everything's made in the US. 

Promising reviews: "It really works. I found this product on Instagram, read the reviews, and decided to give it a try. My skin looks transformed after 10 days. My maskne is greatly improved, redness is gone, and my skin feels great. I have aging, oily skin that's still acne-prone, and this product not only has not broken me out, but has eliminated the small breakout I was having. I'm in love." —Bonnie

Promising review: "I give 12/10. Holy grail. Undupeable. This tastes like salt and smells like a pool, BUT it has calmed my rosacea and healed my cystic acne in a day or two (would normally take weeks). I’m spraying it in my mask to keep maskne away. It’s everything. The only downside is I’m going through it so fast that it’s going to be an expensive habit. But so far it’s worth it." —EssJay

Promising review: "My last tape dispenser that was awful. Threading the tape through the mechanism was a PITA. The gears and springs would fall out when you opened the damn thing. Eventually, the tape started to cling to the roller and would rip the paper I was trying to tape. This design is great; the tape self threads itself when you put it on the rubber bands, the tape stays on the inside of the device until you press the trigger to release it, the tape self cuts when you let go of the trigger. Everything can be done with one hand. Wonderful!" —Billster

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "I have a medical disorder that causes my fingers to lose dexterity in cold, and in my job, I have to go into a freezer and open taped-up boxes every day. I was having way too much trouble getting the tape off, and didn't want to use a bulky box cutter. So I found this, put it on my keys, and it is ready to go immediately. It hasn't cut me, and I grab my keys over and over a day (I'm a delivery driver) and have yet to be injured. I love this thing! The blade is tiny, but strong. It does not retract, but it's still safe." —Rachel C.

It comes with the chopper itself, a whopping EIGHT blades (three different size choppers, plus blades for julienning, slicing, grating, and regular and fine shredding), and a cleaning brush.

Promising review: "This has made my life soooooo much easier. Arthritis and getting old sucks. But this little jewel makes my kitchen fun again. Love the holding box, the choppers, and the mandolin, and a greater. This is a complete tool. I have been buying this brand [Mueller] for at least 10 years now and have liked every product I have gotten. The hand-held mixer is the best I have EVER used (and I've had a few )!!!!!!" —Lisa R.

Promising review: "I don't usually write reviews, but if I could buy stock in the ChomChom, I would! This is incredible. I immediately started using it on blankets, cat tree, towels that the cats lay on, bed skirt, every cloth or soft surface that the cats touch, and TONS of fur started coming off! It's simple and easy, no sticky paper that barely does anything. The design is ingenious! It's a roller that goes back and forth about a one-quarter turn, so you have to go one direction, then back, and that simple motion not only picks up ALL the hair, but then removes it from the outer part of the roller and deposits it in the interior. When you open the back to reveal the interior, there's all the hair all bunched up! Like freakin' magic! Allergies were going nuts and after picking up all this dust and fur I'm hopeful that will go a long way to feel better. Best product I've bought in years, I cannot believe that the reviews were so darn accurate! Get! This! Product!" —Joshua A. Flanders

Promising review: "Honestly I didn’t know if this would work, waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." —Emma

Promising review: "Amazing product! I've suffered with KP on my arms for 15 years and nothing helped. This product didn't just help, it completely cleared it away! I noticed a big difference after just one use and a month later of using it 2 times a week my arms are smooth and I'm no longer embarrassed of them. I'm so excited! This product has changed my life!" —Sherrie Ruiz

Did YOU know that wax can block the pairing sensors?? Neither did I! And btw, these work great on any hard-to-clean small spaces. 

Promising review: "Great stuff that absolutely works! I had been using plugin headphones because my old iPhone 6S was getting old, and I was having difficulty hearing from the speakers. I heard about this from a friend, and it’s like I have a new phone! Worked immediately. Sound and clarity like before. I can’t believe how easy it was to use and the great difference it makes. Thanks!" —Bridget S

Promising review: "I love eating raw bell peppers and this handy gadget has been a real time-saver. Removes the core to make slicing up peppers much more efficient. Two thumbs-up for this ingenious kitchen gadget." —I love Amazon

Promising review: "Bought this cheap, lightweight umbrella for an autumn trip to Edinburgh. It worked perfectly!! It was really windy there, and it did pop inside-out a few times, but I just pushed it back into place. The pod holder is really great for folding it up when wet and keeping your bag safe from it!" —Lynn Thompson

Promising review: "We purchased these for our son's soccer cleats that smelled like cat pee and a dead buffalo that has been eaten, puked up and eaten again, and then that animal died and a buzzard ate it and then pooped it out...THEY WERE HORRIBLE!!! The ninja ShoeStix worked GREAT!!! WILL BE BUYING MORE for our daughters' dance shoes!!!" —Matthew Parker

Promising review: "These ShoeStix have been amazing. I didn't think anything could help with the awful cat urine-like smell emanating from my son's soccer cleats, but these inserts have done the trick. Now, if you put your nose in the shoe, yes, it will still smell pretty bad. But they no longer make the entire house smell like cleats, and I can now leave the shoes in the house or in the car and not feel the urge to puke. We also use them for my daughter's volleyball shoes and kneepads. If you've ever experienced the stench that exists once a volleyball player removes the kneepads, then you know the pain I experience multiple times a week. Just put the ShoeStix inside the kneepads and put them inside a closed plastic bag, and let the Stix do their magic. Definitely worth the money." —K Terry

Some reviewers have reported having trouble refilling the pen, but this reviewer has a helpful explanation of how to refill them. Reviewers also say these are *great* for ensuring crisp lines when working with stencils!

Promising review: "How did I ever live without these?! I had these in my cart forever, but the price seemed a bit high for what they are. Finally, on an impulse, I pulled the trigger and bought them. I'm now kicking myself for not doing it sooner. These are fantastic!!! They make small fixes a breeze, especially when two paint colors butt up next to each other at a corner. The brush fibers are great and smoothly put the paint in the exact spot. I had even tried buying artist's brushes for touch-ups in the past, but they never worked well, and I no longer need to pull out the whole can to do one tiny touch-up. I have these locked and loaded with every paint color in my house and am ready to go." —AAG338

I haven’t lost a single sock since! They always come out paired and completely dried (which was one of my concerns; I wasn’t sure if they were going to dry properly). I would definitely recommend this! It’s amazing and makes life so much easier! Especially with a toddler and baby on the way!" —Sarah Elizabeth

Each SteelBee lasts for up to two years!

Promising review: "This was a great find! I wanted to test this for myself, so I put two razors in the shower with one having the Steelbee. I shaved every other with each razor and within weeks I could tell a big difference. The razor without the Steelbee has rust spots and is much duller. All of the razors in the house will now be using this. I even used this on my most recent business trip last week and it doubled as a great travel protector." —Rob May

SteelBee is a small business entirely focused on this product — and btw, it fits all standard razors!

Promising review: "The key to clear skin! This is the best thing I've ever bought for my face on Amazon. Trust me when I say YOU NEED THIS in your face routine. I've tried so, so many things, and nothing has worked. I tried Paula's Choice BHA, and it does not compare to how much better this is. This dries on without any greasy feeling. It literally cleared my face overnight. I was starting to get acne, and this literally cleared my complexion. I've had acne due to stress lately, and this has been my savior! My face is unbelievably smooth and clear of acne. Even my dark spots are fading, and I've only been using it for one week. My face literally glows! If you have any doubts like I did, just buy it. You will not regret it :)" —Diana V

Promising review: "Best purchase! You wouldn't think a small product like this could make a difference, but it makes a world of difference! I am amazed and so glad I found these. Gone are the days of wet clothes being wrapped up in sheets, or having to continuously check the dryer to untangle sheets. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and buying some as gifts!" —Becca

Wad-Free is a small biz, and their products are made in the USA. 

Promising review: "I was excited but skeptical about this product, but I just used it for four loads of laundry and they are awesome! I would normally have used about 20 dryer sheets but I just used the dryer balls instead. My clothing, towels, and sheets came out of the dryer wrinkle-free, soft, and with no static cling. I used to spend quite a bit of money on fabric softeners and fragrance boosters. I am thrilled not to have to add a bunch of chemicals. The scent is lovely and clean even without adding the oil. Best purchase of the year." —mskrippers

Woolzies is a small business, and these dryer balls are made in New Zealand from 100% wool, and they're hypoallergenic and safe for people with wool allergies! For an extra boost of scent, you can add your favorite essential oil to the balls too!

Cords are six feet long and have three plugs each.

Promising review: "This was such an awesome and unique idea! I have four front windows on my home that I like to hang Christmas lights in. Instead of having to plug in multiple extension cords, this looked nicer and worked more efficiently and safely. It was a perfect reach for both sets of lighted images that I put in my windows! This is such a clever idea. Worked great!" —Mad megz

Promising review: "Best item I have purchased for the dog all year. I saw this on a TikTok video and checked on Amazon and ordered it. My toy poodle loves it and drank out of it with no hesitation. With the heat wave we are having in California right now, I want to be sure she is well hydrated. Before I leave the house, I fill the holder with ice and water, and I am set. Easy to clean and no spilled water in the car. Easy to throw in my purse and have it when we are out walking around. I know what people with dogs are getting for Christmas this year." —Amazon Customer

I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!

Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!

Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M.

Promising review: "The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF

Check out why a mom calls this pouch topper the "coolest thing" in this TikTok. 

Promising review: "( can only find them in one place in my small upstate New York town and while traveling, I accidentally threw one away in the airport. My kid refuses to let anyone feed him with a spoon and won't take the pouch without the nipple. It's the best creation ever, and I can't believe it's not in every store in the world. They truly are the best. I can give my son a pouch or food with this on it in his car seat and not worry. He carries pouches around the living room, and I don't have to freak out. I can't say enough good things about them." —Erica

Promising review: "After so many lost bra pads, this has been a lifesaver. Instead of feeling immense amounts of frustration, trying to get the pads back into place, this works like a breeze. It is simple to use, effective, and takes a lot of stress out of life. If you are tired of fighting with pads to get them smoothed out and back into place, I highly recommend this." —Wesley I. 

Cup Claw is a US-based, family-owned small business, btw.

Promising review: "Life saver! I bought this for my son to be able to unbuckle himself, and it's worked perfectly! When he went to visit extended family, it was a godsend for the arthritic hands trying to help unbuckle him. I can't say enough good things about this product! Will be buying more in the future." —Jason

Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M.

Promising review: "I bought this stuff because my sister swears by it. I've seen the commercials and thought, yeah sure... But first off, the fresh scent smells amazing without being overpowering. Secondly, it cleans oily, greasy stuff like a dream! My husband used my stockpot on his grill burner, resulting in it being COVERED in black sooty stuff. And everything it touched also received a healthy dose of soot. I initially tried the normal Dawn dish soap, and while it did clean it up, it was smearing it and was not easy to clean. I pulled out this stuff, sprayed a bit on the pot. BOOM, it was literally clean. Seriously, awesome stuff." —Laura Pirkle

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse!

Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl

It fits a full bag of microwave popcorn (or about four quarts if you pop your own!). Plus, you can use this as a regular strainer for rinsing produce on other occasions! And it's dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "My husband loves popcorn. However, unlike me, he HATES any unpopped kernels. So after a lot of searching, we found this and ordered it. OMG......he loves this thing. And I love that I no longer have to hear him complain about how many kernels are in the bottom of his bowl! So if you want to eat popcorn without having a bunch of kernels in the bottom, DEFINITELY order this one........" —R. Harris

Promising review: "We keep our laundry detergent on a shelf above our washer and dryer. The detergent containers would drip, getting sticky detergent all over the machines. I ordered these devices after getting annoyed with cleaning the top of my washer yet again, and I'm glad I did. They are super simple and sturdy, and I love the little blue tray that can be easily removed for cleaning, so you don’t have to remove the entire device. I would recommendit  to anyone who has had the same issue!" —Ball

Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it, too!

Promising review: "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is hands down not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens. They feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages four and under), so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." —Samantha

Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great, and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flaky, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in clear, plus five tinted shades).

Best invention ever? Possibly. Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments. This is wonderful at keeping your shower clean, but if your shower isn't...spotless right now, you can use it a few times in a row to get it back to sparkling before using it once a week for maintenance! 

Promising review: "100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower, I didn’t even know it was there! (Photo of my grout half-sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he’s like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn’t take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." —Heather N

I’ve spent an excessive amount of money on foot masks, foot scrubs, pedicures, pumice stones, foot files, etc. Nothing worked. This fixed my feet in five minutes. I was actually in shock. I haven’t had 'soft' feet in years. I literally feel like I have new feet. Best $10 I ever spent." —Hdb

Promising review: "I already had a rasp which I keep in my shower and use right when I'm getting out, and it worked well. However, with this product, it's a game-changer. My heels would be smooth with just the rasp, but with the combination, they are as smooth as any salon has ever gotten them, and it is so easy to use. I simply take my normal shower, dry off, and apply this callus remover to the bottom of my feet where I need it. I waited eight minutes and then let the rasp get all of the dry skin off, rinsed my feet well, and they looked amazing. I highly recommend this, especially in sandal season!" —The Momager

Promising review: "Love, love, love, love, love! I have plantar fasciitis and high arches, and have suffered with pain and discomfort. I was looking for supportive shoes and stumbled upon Copper Compression bands, and decided to give them a try. Best purchase ever! They immediately give support, stretch the foot, and relieve pain. I recommend the gel ones with the pad at the bottom for cushion on your arches, but both provide the same effectiveness. I wear them to bed every night, when driving, and around the house. I have given them as gifts to several family members and friends, all of whom love them! They are a family-run, American company and have outstanding customer service.

Just place one on your shower floor (not directly under the water), and it'll activate when splashed, releasing a delicious scent. 

Promising review: "As a long-time sufferer of congestion, these help me so much. A friend told me about these while my husband and I were both sick at the beginning of the year (IYKYK). The congestion that came on with this virus was TERRIBLE. While Afrin works wonders, you can't use it every day. These helped clear up most of the congestion, and they smell amazing. I have chronic allergies and have used these since being sick anytime my allergies get the best of me. I wouldn't say my congestion is completely relieved (like when you use a medicated nasal spray) when I use these, but they help so much and did give me relief. I pop one in the shower, and it smells like I'm at a MedSpa. My entire bathroom and bedroom smell so good whenever I use these. These are nice to use even if you're not congested and want a relaxing shower after a long day. The smell of these is calming + relaxing, especially right before bed." —Karis

Body Restore is a small biz btw! They make other shower steamers in a variety of scents, too, like energizing citrus and calming lavender right before bed, etc.

Promising review: "Best thing I have ever bought for my kitchen. Say goodbye to the heinous noise of slamming cabinets. My mother is notorious for just letting go of the cabinets and letting them slam shut, so before she came to visit, I installed these, and I couldn't have been happier. They keep the noise to a minimum and likely help to improve the longevity of the cabinet doors by reducing the impact. They are easy to install (although time-consuming for all the cabinets in the kitchen), and mine have not fallen off after 5 months of use. When installing, I pressed them onto the cabinet hard for a 30 count before letting go. I think this is required to make them last longer. My father installed these at his home after he visited and his fell off because he just placed them on the cabinets like a sticker. After installing a second with the same method I used, he has not had any fall off." —Dave Carlson

Promising review: "This company is absolutely amazing, and the pillowcase is genius! First off, they have the best customer service. There was a problem with my order, so I reached out to them. They responded to my email quickly and resolved the problem. Very friendly people to work with. Second, the pillowcase is hands down the best I have ever used! I always take night showers and go to bed with wet hair. I've used a towel over my old pillowcases for years, and I always wake up with a damp pillow and the towel on the bed. With this pillowcase, I don't have that problem! The microfiber side absorbs the moisture from my hair, and the other side is a nice soft satin for those nights I don't go to bed with wet hair. I will never go back to a normal pillowcase again! I never write product reviews, but I just had to with this product. It was that good! Basically, BUY THIS PILLOWCASE!!!!" —Kristen Chorney

So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week, so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse, and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought two of the smaller versions of this same purifier for the 2 bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine, they don’t work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those room,s too. I’ve had all three purifiers going 24/7 for four months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." —SuesZoo

Promising review: "Stop looking, buy this! I bought a higher-end unit for my office and this one for my home. Literally no difference! Buy the cheaper one!" —Keith

Promising reviews: "This... this! I don't know what sort of sorcery this is, but this thing totally works, and it's freaking me out! I tested it by standing outside for a few mins (I live in the south, very humid) and then came back inside and rolled it along my nose. Sucked that oil right up!! I cannot believe I have been wasting money on blotting paper when this was out there (and reusable)! Totally buying some for my sister and friends. If you're on the fence about it, JUST BUY IT!" —Stellar

Btw, now the roller comes in a rose quartz version you can store in the fridge for a soothing face massage!

It has a two-step filter that removes 99.99% of contaminants, and it comes with direct connect hoses to hook right up to the standard 3/8-inch valves in US kitchen sinks.

Promising review: "We have town water and it seems they are putting more and more chlorine in it every year. We should be getting used to it and tasting it less and less, not more! The refrigerator filters are super expensive and weren't cutting it. Every time I put a glass to my mouth it smelled like a swimming pool. I searched the internet and decided to give this a try due to the positive reviews and affordability. Wow! easy install (I'm an avid DIYer). And the taste! The chlorine taste is just gone! No more overpriced fridge filters for us. I love that the filter replacement procedure is basically the same as a fridge. Just twist and remove. We love it so much I teed off the fridge line and put a dispenser at our sink as well. The flow on this thing is just amazing! And the water tastes great! Don't waste your money on the expensive, complicated ones. My parents have a three-chambered, name brand filter at their house. It was expensive, the replacement filters are expensive, it is a pain in the petunias to replace the filters, and the flow rate is pathetic! But guess what! Our water from this filter tastes just as good as theirs at a fraction of the price, plus it's way more convenient, plus the flow rate is way better. I just can't say enough. Love, Love it! You will too!" —BJ

Promising review: "Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical, but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed." —Persian Tess

Promising review: "I don’t write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn’t really read the instructions, but it’s pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won’t be disappointed." —Linsey Barbieri

Just don't leave it on for too long, or you might end up with a slight purple tint — but some reviewers love that!

Promising review: "I'm not one to leave reviews, but this product deserves it! Holy cow! I was going to go into the salon to brighten my hair up, but after discovering this product I cancelled my appointment. I'm totally in love! This shampoo is not drying at all and just after two washes I achieved my desired results! I can't recommend it enough!" —Rachael

Promising review: "HOLY SMOKES. I wasn't expecting this product to work so well. Literally 10 seconds after spraying and gently stretching as the directions suggested, this was the difference! I let it hang for another 15 mins with a subtle improvement, but the first few seconds after were mind-blowing. Highly suggest this product if wrinkled garments are [in] your closet." —Desiree

A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these!

Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now). I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry, I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn

Get them from Amazon: the box of 40 round patches for $7.50 and the pack of eight large square patches for $7.

Promising review: "I used this product on the rubber gasket on my front load washing machine and also on the white caulk on my kitchen and bathroom sinks. Let me tell you, this stuff works amazing! There is very little smell and it is very easy to apply since its a gel consistency. I needed to apply this twice to my washing machine since the mold was harder to come out. But it really was able to remove the yucky black mold that I had previously had a lot of trouble removing! So happy to see clean and mold free surfaces. AMAZING STUFF!" —L.C.

Promising review: " UPDATE: I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs’ paws so easily. When it’s super dirty and the streets are covered in salt, I’ll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great. Don’t believe the negative reviews. I don’t see how they can possibly not know how to use this gadget. It is so easy to use. And the pictures of the German Shepherds and their mess, I find it impossible that this gadget could possibly create that mess. I guess if they are covered in thick mud, then they have to be hosed down, and this product is not a replacement for a bath. I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10-15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus, the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" —Sandra

Promising review: "I lost weight during my pregnancy (and after), and my wedding rings kept falling off. I didn't want to get them resized, have a little ball welded in, or wear one of those guards that slide around. I pretty much gave up on wearing them. I saw these in one of those silly BuzzFeed lists about Amazon products. I usually just read those things for a good laugh (really who needs a hedgehog shaped planter) I immediately put this item in my cart and I couldn't be happier! It comes in four sizes. I used the smallest size for my engagement ring. It was super easy to wrap around." —DMA

It may not blend in perfectly, but hey, it's cheaper than replacing a whole screen!

Promising review: "I live in an old home, and we are at the point in life where we have done all the big repairs we are going to do. We have holes in quite a few screens, which my spouse promised to fix with his mystical screen hole patching prowess. That was years ago and I’m tired of getting eaten alive. I bought a roll of this and in 10 minutes every screen was patched. This product cuts cleanly even with mediocre scissors. It adheres to the existing screen neatly and without a lot of pressure or fuss. I’d say not to worry too much about which color you choose as this product is quite obvious in use. It is really not going to blend. However I don’t care; my screens no longer are mosquito boulevards and the product stays put. I’m thrilled, one more job off the list." —Quickbeam

They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition!

Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in Sharpie, etc., but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer

Btw, the scents claim to be allergy-friendly, and that's backed up by reviewers. And if your home's ~aesthetic~ doesn't go with a candle that screams "pet," one reviewer notes the label peels off easily!

Promising review: "Oh my gosh, these things are wonderful!!! With two large dogs in the home, I feel like I'm fighting a constant battle against funky dog smell. Light these up, and rest assured, the smell is vanquished. Even better, it helps quickly battle the unfortunate smells created when our older dog has accidents in the home. I feel so much more confident having guests in the home not worrying that my house smells like "dog." The con is the price — yes, these are way more expensive than some other candles. However, you definitely get your money's worth. I burn them pretty frequently for a few hours at a time, and they're still going after two months!" —Smith

Promising review: "Unfortunately, our one cat has awful allergies, and we no longer use any scent plug-in or are able to light candles. I missed having different scents in the house big time! I did some research and pet house candles kept coming up everywhere with raving reviews. I was skeptical but completely surprised! They smell amazinggggg, even stronger than a lot of big name brands I purchased in the past. Love everything this company stands for and their wonderful products!" —Jacee
