People are putting watermelons on their vacuums — here's why it's (sort of) a fantastic idea
I come across some weird stuff when scrolling through TikTok. Fortunately, my algorithm knows I like cleaning content, but it still came as a bit of a surprise when I was suddenly watching videos of people putting watermelons on top of their vacuums. At first glance, it seemed like a silly trend that I'd happily put into the same category as people using ice to clean their toilets. But then, I read the comments. Suddenly, I was amazed to find out that this method has been used for years — just perhaps not with watermelons. Adding weight to the top of your vacuum applies pressure that makes the suction more effective and ensures the vacuum is closer to your carpets. While you can use actual weights or other kitchen products like a heavy bag of dishwasher salts, it just seems like a watermelon is more fun. So, I put my produce to the test. Here's what happened when I put a watermelon on my vacuum for a better clean. Spoiler alert — it's a little bit chaotic. But first, here's my inspiration. This is TikTok user @justhaimomthings biggest video yet with 4.2 million views (at time of writing), 191k likes and over 500 comments. Demonstrating the hack, she writes: "Whoever said to use a watermelon to clean your carpets, I hope you win the jackpot." Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. While Hailey is using a carpet cleaning machine, there are plenty of others using it just on their vacuums. One user writes: "I mean anything with weight will work, but go ahead and use produce". While another says: "I usually use one foot to hold it down and hop on the other". While I don't fancy hopping around my house, I do fancy trying out whether a watermelon could do the trick. Watermelon acquired, I placed it onto the front of my vacuum as so many TikTokers before me had done and... it immediately rolled off as soon as I moved the vacuum. While it seems scientifically impossible that the watermelon would split if it rolled onto the carpet, I'm also moving house soon, so I took it fairly slow. Turns out to keep the watermelon in place I had to go incredibly slow. But, it appeared to be working. The concept is that the added weight on top of the vacuum would push it deeper into the carpet and it certainly did. But, I worry about the effect the weight might be having on my vacuum, as well as how it reduced its ability to move around. I'm also just not sure if the time it seemed to be taking me to push the vacuum around was really worth it. I persevered nonetheless so I could give it my final verdict. In theory, it's a fantastic idea (sort of). It absolutely vacuumed my carpets better with a deeper clean and more suction and I even noticed its effectiveness in the carpet afterwards and in the amount of dust and dirt I gathered. But, using a watermelon is not the fantastic part. Using weight, sure. Using a watermelon that rolls off every time I move my vacuum with a little too much vigor, no. I'd definitely try adding a different weight to the top of my vacuum for deeper cleans; maybe a bag of rice or a hefty bag of pasta. But, it left me feeling like maybe my vacuum just hasn't got very good power. I wouldn't recommend putting yourself through the watermelon hack – unless you happen to eat a lot of watermelon or you feel like it might be fun. I would certainly recommend the concept though and leave the watermelons for everyone else. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

35 Treats So Cheap And Fun You'll Get A Little Thrill
A limited edition (!!) Eos 'Nilla Milkshake Flavor Lab lip balm set from the brand's "secret menu" complete with Marshmallow Fluff, Vanilla Creme, Salted Caramel, and Vanilla Toffee for the ultimate in lip care luxury. Adorable bonus — it also comes with teensy stickers to decorate your balms in the most nostalgic way possible! Wild Iris Musk Body Wash, the summer-friendly sister of the TikTok-famous "old money" Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired body wash. I am a massive fan of both — the moisturizing clean is so fresh, and the scents are so DELIGHTFULLY luscious without overpowering — but trust me when I say that Wild Iris Musk is *the* scent of summer. It's floral, soft, playful, and grounded all at once. (And yes, just like the original version, it smells ... expensive 👀.) A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. A set of limited edition Band-Aids with retro flower patterns so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it summer-y." A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. Vlasic's Pickle Balls, a flavored puff with a cult following so feral that the last place I'd want to be is in between one of these bags and a fan. If you're a pickle fan, this will be a low-risk, high-reward buy that might just reach your Snack Pantheon, too. A cult-favorite Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball reviewers compare to the $25 Sol de Janeiro version 👀☀️ . This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how ~beachy~ and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels and how nicely it plays with other scents! A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit for anyone on their "happy accidents" beat — this itty bitty set comes with everything you need to create three tiny masterpieces of your very own. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding (*without* the $30 Olaplex price tag). All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. McCormick's Potato Topping Seasoning for anyone who's not afraid to get a little feral about their air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole. A Jellycat-inspired coffee mug so precious that you'll shed a tiny tear into your coffee every morning, overwhelmed by its cuteness. Look at those itty bitty legs and that wee happy smile!! A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal countless TikTokers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Eos Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash in a *mini* version for travel, so you can take the TikTok-famous scent anywhere around the world and still get to smell like a delectable blend of "whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel." A set of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings you can mix and match to your aesthetic's content. Reviewers love how well these hold up over time, especially given the price! A set of sophisticated cylindrical wineglasses to rival Crate & Barrel's, and to elevate your Friday wine-cheese-and-Netflix nights so instantaneously that you'll feel like an extra in one of those Shows About Rich Families Who Fight All The Time. A pack of instant cold-stirred foam caramel iced lattes so you can get all that delicious, decadent ~froth~ you love so much right from the comfort of your own home. Considering the price of a fancy bev these days, this is a STEAL at a buck per drink. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). A set of itty bitty vintage-inspired spoons that will just BEG to be used for all your coffee, tea, dessert, and yogurt needs. (Is it just me, or do we all have an Emotional Support Tiny Spoon?) A set of eye-popping fine point pens designed not to bleed through pages for planners and journals, so you can — gasp — color code your tasks, putting a fun twist on them that makes it all the more motivating to stay focused 🌈. A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one? A set of golden bracelets that will give ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from Cartier — the middle one is giving the $8,000 "Juste Un Clou" and the studded one is giving the $6,000 "Love Bracelet!" A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes. This formula is blended with Iceland glacial water to help tighten skin and tackle dark circles so you look and feel more ~refreshed~. A Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and will also easily hold cash, cards, and lip balms, so you don't have to deal with the whole muss and fuss of a purse if you're going on a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. Comfort Food, a "bold and easy" coloring book for teens and adults that will satisfy your sweet tooth, your salt tooth, *and* your creative streak. This cozy, nostalgic, oh-so-delicious coloring book is just the latest edition of many beloved stress-relieving coloring books from this series! A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put all other styles on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version. A set of espresso martini instant cocktail tea bags — all the sophistication of tea, the zing! of coffee, and the 😜 of a cheeky cocktail, without the exorbitant bar price tags. All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious cocktail in one minute. An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running — especially since it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the usual $68 version. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. Dr Teal's "Hawaiian Bliss" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of red sea salt, papaya, and hibiscus, reviewers are so in love with that a ton of them are buying extra bags (or literally hoarding them) before the brand runs out. One reviewer went so far as to call it "heaven in a bag!" A bunch of teensy macaron boxes for a delightful upgrade to many things in your life, whether it's storing pills or trinkets or just staring at them looking all fancy and delicious on your bedside table. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette. This includes a range of highly-pigmented, super blendable shades to help you contour, highlight, and bronze on days when your Gcal just say "GO GO GO" all the way down. (Psst — this is the same brand behind the TikTok-famous $6 Under Eye Brightener, so you know they mean business!) A set of dainty but surprisingly strong bow-shaped hair clips to pair with all your frilliest summer dresses or to add a soft touch your more structured work outfits. Tree Hut Coco Colada Hand Wash infused with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to help hydrate and restore skin health so your hands can be super clean *and* super nourished. Now all you have to do is prepare to have the link to this handy whenever guests come over and are like, "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DELECTABLE SOAP??" Patchology's "Rosé Toes" moisturizing foot mask to give your dry, cracked heels some shea butter, strawberry oil-infused relief in ten minutes flat — not unlike the glass of rosé that hits at Friday happy hour. Reviewers are genuinely impressed by how much of a difference these make in so little time! Dove Brown Sugar and Coconut Butter Body Scrub designed to be oh-so-gentle on your skin, with a softer texture that isn't as coarse as other brands but leaves you fully exfoliated and smooth. Plus there's the added bonus of smelling so yummy that you'll be like, "Oooh, should I take a bite out of my own self?" A 5-pound bucket of Crayola Air Dry Clay to let you finally follow your inner pottery dreams without all the mess and effort of taking classes. After you pull the clay out to shape it, it'll harden on its own — no oven or any effort required! From there you can leave it as is or paint over it for a fun vibe.
