This one’s for the foot-tappers, watch-checkers, and anyone who gets a shiver down their spine hearing the *tick tick tick* of a clock.

You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. 

Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." —Alex Bonick

Promising review: "I use these mats several times a day. They make cleanup super easy, which is really important in my hectic life. They wipe off easily with just water." —Tasia Lung

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

Get it from Amazon for $6.90+ (available in four other styles). 

This is great for a bit of low-effort weekly maintenance, but if your shower is in need of a ~deep clean~, you can use this a few times in a row to get it all washed up before starting that once-a-week schedule. 

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. 

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in a fresh and vanilla scent, two sizes, and as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "This is one of the best brushes I’ve ever owned. It’s the perfect size and super gentle on curly hair. I love that I can brush my hair easily and fast with no pain and my hair does not break. I highly recommend getting this brush." —Veronica E. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors). 

To use, simply place the cleaning pod in place of your coffee and brew a large cup, then follow-up with a water-only cycle

Quick & Clean is a small business that specializes in coffee machine cleaning products. 

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, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

The 8-in-1 chopper includes a medium and fine dicer, a regular and coarse grater, a slicer, a zester, a blade to make wavy slices, and a blade to julienne. 

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

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. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use.

Promising review: "This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." —Dawn R. 

Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products. 

Promising review: "I used this back scrubber the day after it arrived and I love it. Finally, I have an easy-to-use and more effective way to scrub my back. I saw the dead skin fall to the shower floor. Wow! And it easily rinsed cleaned, too." —Naomi M. 

Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. 

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

Each air fryer comes with the "PowerPod," two containers (a four-quart and a six-cup), and lids. The "feet" are also heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action. 

Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crispi 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 

Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in seven colors). 

And if you're planning to meal prep for the week, you can also get extra glass containers. Also, if you're wanting to cook for a larger group, check out their newer 6-in-1 Crispi Pro! 

Promising review: "These magnetic cheat sheets are wonderful. So handy instead of a cookbook; I use it every day! I gave my niece an air fryer for Christmas, so I bought her a set, too, and she loves it." —KateK.

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in black and white and a kit with an Instant Pot cheat sheet). 

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

Get a set of 125 from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four sizes, three shapes, and packs of 100, 250, 500, and 1000).

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78 (also available as an 8-pack). 

Promising review: "My dermatologist suggested it! I had considered dermaplaning but was too afraid, and laser was not an option for me. She suggested this, and I've never looked back. I love the fact that it is easy to use and it doesn't hurt. After using it, my skin is SO SOFT AND SMOOTH! I think it is worth the price. I also love that I can take the head off to remove the hair from it." —BMahone

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

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.99 (also available as a 36- and 78-pack). 

This is equipped with a dual tank that separates clean and dirty water and suctions up 90% of what it uses to mop. It also self-propels, so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!

Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." —Tsippi

Get it from Amazon for $209+ (available in two styles).

This is designed to fit both narrow and wide openings, and works with everything from pint-sized containers to gallons. Check out a TikTok of the drink dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "Super happy with this purchase. Our two little ones (five- and three-years-old) can now easily fill their own drinks. We also purchased a dual cereal dispenser from Amazon, so now the kids can get their own breakfast cereal with milk!" —April M. Ramos

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors and as a three-pack). 

The included cook guide breaks down the amount of time you'll want to microwave your pasta depending on serving and type. 

Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I’ve been cooking for more than 50 years. Pasta has always been a simple go-to dinner for me. 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

It can cook up to four potatoes at once, and has a handy guide on the side with cook times. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these! They are amazing!!! They are a necessity for busy people. I can cook two large potatoes in five minutes. You can also use it to warm cornbread, breadsticks, banana and zucchini bread, and popcorn! It is multifunctional! It warms food up but retains the moisture, which gives you unlimited ways to use it. It is a pouch, so it lies flat and can be stored in a drawer with your wash cloths and dish towels. The texture of a baked potato is the same as if it were oven baked. It is not as thick as a folded washcloth. I love this potato pouch! What used to take an hour now takes five! It's such a great gift for the money. I give them as wedding, graduation, and baby shower presents. No more living on ramen in college. For new moms, sleep time is essential! Five minutes to cook and it's nap time! The price is nothing for all of the time you will save! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!" —Amazon member

Handy Gourmet is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. 

Promising review: "Who would have guessed how much easier this product makes getting hot items out of the microwave? This makes the retrieval much safer for me. I have hand problems and gripping this tool makes the removal steadier and safer without getting burns. I recommend!" —Envy's Opinion 

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

To recharge, simply unscrew the handle and use the provided micro-USB. 

Promising review: "I always have a ring in my toilet because I have hard water and this brush does a wonderful job of cleaning it right off! It is so easy to use and I love the blue light that automatically comes on after cleaning to get rid of bacteria. This brush actually makes cleaning toilets fun!" —Ashley Picard

Get it from Amazon for 30.39+ (available with or without a crevice brush and in a two-pack). 

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

"I saw this on TikTok and it looked so easy. I’ve hated my TV stand since I bought it. It was all black and just brought the room down. I used two coats and it is perfect! 10 outta 10 recommend!" —Gig94Em

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 60 colors and four sizes).

Promising review: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. Givens

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors and stiffness levels, plus variety packs).

Bonus: This also stops the inside liner of your purse from getting dirty if anything happens to spill. 

Promising review: "Lightweight but sturdy, never collapsed in the bag. Perfectly fit in my tote. Red color makes it a lot easier to find my stuff. Worth the price." —Grace Vuluvala

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 16 colors and six sizes).

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

Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.

Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a four-pack). 

Check out a TikTok of the Laundry Turtle in action.

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

Promising review: "This is my second one! Love it so much since it can keep my necklaces safe and untangled with its strong magnet. Safe me so much time layering all the necklaces I have. Literally takes one second to put on!" —Nichole Li

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three finishes, a two- or three- clasp design, and variety two-packs). 

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. The size is just ideal for lunch — not too big or too small, it'll fit just the right amount of food to eat but not overeat. They are microwave safe and it's very convenient if you have a microwave in the office." —AlmaMater

Promising review: "I recently purchased a bread knife, and it has become an essential tool in my kitchen. The serrated blade effortlessly slices through various types of bread, providing clean and even cuts. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to maneuver. It’s a reliable and efficient addition to my kitchen arsenal, highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, perfectly sliced bread." —Mykayla Stump 

Check out BuzzFeed's overview of the EZ Off Jar Opener. 

Promising review: "I saw this item on TikTok. Yeap. I am so glad I got it! I have trouble opening jars and bottles and this has been awesome. It works great. 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

Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "I would give this product more stars if I could. I am a busy mom and my microwave often gets pushed to the end of my never ending to do list. So much so that I would have been too embarrassed to show anyone how gross it had gotten. I finally ordered this with the hope that it would at least help make the job a little bit easier. I was AMAZED! Seriously, the hardest part of the entire experience was trying to get the little mama’s head off to fill it and that only took a minute to figure out. I followed the directions carefully and then used a sponge to wipe off the grease and food bits. My microwave looks brand new. I will probably use a microfiber cloth next time though because the sponge pushed the mess around and wasn’t needed to scrub at all. Also because I tried it out right away, that meant that I didn’t have any kind of essential oils or lemon juice to add to the vinegar and water mixture but honestly the smell wasn’t too bad, but it might be an issue for someone very sensitive to the smell of vinegar. If you dread cleaning your microwave, order this, I’m telling you it really does work wonders!" —M.J

Stretchlace is a US-based small business that specializes in elastic shoelaces. 

Promising review: "I saw these on Shark Tank, so decided to try a pair. They are AMAZING! These are in shoes that I wear for workout classes that involve plenty of stepping and cardio... my shoes do not slip or feel loose at all, but stay as snug as if they had traditional shoelaces. No more loose shoestrings, no more tying, and untying. What a great invention! Hey you little kids with Velcro fasteners, move over! Grown-up laces are here!" —Leah

Get them from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 11 colors, nine lengths, and  in round laces). 

Promising review: "Oh my goodness. This light switch is the best. Got it for my 89-year-old aunt to use with her nightstand light. I affixed the control button to her headboard of the bed. The push buttons are large and that makes it perfect. Thank you!" —Karla

Promising review: "I had no idea how well these would work. You can put toast or rolls or anything that will fit in the slot — even if it has jelly or spread or anything on it — in the bag in the toaster and it doesn't hurt the toaster, and the food comes out warm." —mare36
