Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending,~ Here are some of the most useful and loved home products on the list this week:
A Keurig K-Mini single-serve coffee maker if you want a convenient, quick cuppa without sacrificing all your counter space to a multi-cup machine.
Promising review: "My first one lasted 4 1/2 years, which is a good amount of time for a mini Keurig. I have a smaller kitchen, so the size of this fits perfectly on my countertop and has a nicely appearance. It performs very well with a great water flow. I like espresso so I have my own usable K cup to make a very bold latte every morning. I also like that it does not have the attached water reservoir like some of the others because I prefer to pour fresh water in every time I use it. It is perfect for one to two people who drink coffee every morning." —Naty GPrice: $74.99+ (available in five colors)
A two-slice slim toaster if you're big on toast but small on counter space. This is up to 50% smaller than your average Joe Toaster, and science says it's at least 100% cuter. (It's me. I'm science, and I'm putting this in my cart POSTHASTE.)
A Zevo flying-insect trap because you know what can make your space feel brand-new overnight? NO MORE ANNOYING BUGS. I've had one of these in my kitchen for years because fruit flies are the bane of my existence. Super nongross to change out the sticky pad, and the little buggers are drawn in by the light rather than me having to worry about spraying pesticides.
Promising review: "Ok, so I have never written a review before cause I've never felt this much passion an relief from something I've bought before. But this guy arrived this morning and has been putting WORK in. 😭 I have gnats because of my plants but my late night scrolling keeps them buzzing in my face for the light from my phone. So it's been on for about eight or nine hours and look how many it has. 😭😭 MY ROOM CAN FEEL LIKE HOME AGAIN, I'm about to order 50 extra sticky traps for the summer cause its a miracle worker. 😭" —Fely Price: $19.97
A lemony scented travel size Poo-Pourri toilet spray you spritz in the toilet before you go that uses ~magic smell science~ to keep any undesirable smells trapped in the bowl. It's like air pre-freshener, and this travel size is perfect for keeping in your bag!
Promising review: "Bought this specifically to use on our cruise. Three boys, tight quarters – it was a life saver! First time using it and will be buying again. The scent of the actual spray was good and not too strong. Highly recommend." —Dave MPrice: $3.99
A set of slim velvet hangers to help free up some room in overcrowded closets if you're currently using those thick wooden or plastic hangers. Bonus: These also prevent clothes from slipping off onto the floor!
Promising review: "These hangers have a thin design, meaning you can fit more clothing into your closet. They are nonslip. They are sturdy but lightweight, enough not to weigh down your closet rod. I bought them for all the closets in my home. I suggest you buy at least two sets." —CottageDesignsByErinPrice: $13.99+ (available in seven colors and three pack sizes)
A hose splitter with easy-turn levers and a rubber coating to give you extra comfort while you're doing your yard chores. (And we all want our yard chores to be as easy as possible, FOR SURE.)
Promising review: "I've had a lot of different hose splitters and this one beats the others. Good quality and the levers remain easy to use. This is the second of this particular one that I've ordered. I paid full price last year, and when this just went on sale, I jumped on it." —Pete S.Price: $25.99+ (available in two styles)
Some Amazon Basics lightweight microfiber sheets with prints and colors that can match or artfully contrast with your current duvet setup.
Promising review: "Got these sheets for my son's bed and they work great. They have a very soft touch to them for the price point they are solid. A lot of times cheaper sheets feel very rough, but that is not the case. Colors don't bleed in the washing machine either and haven't shown any signs of fading after numerous washes. They fit the mattress great without too much excess and the pillowcases fit the pillows nicely as well. Nothing bad to say about them, they are a great product." —NathanPrice: $12.99+ (available in sizes twin–king and 29 colors)
A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner reviewers swear by for carpets, carseats, and car seats (iykyk), rugs, and anything else upholstered that has been through any rough summertime oopsies and spills.
And a stand-up weed puller for those pesky weeds trying to mess up your lawn. Plus, with this handy tool, you won't let them mess up your knees either.
Promising review: "This was a game changer for me! I hate pulling weeds, and I have SO MANY this year. I don't want to use chemicals that could kill all the pollinators, so I took a chance and bought this. I have to say it met and EXCEEDED my expectations. I have done nothing but try to get people to buy this product because it made such a huge difference for me. Thank you for making this great tool!" —MelindaPrice: $39.97
A pack of wall-mounted shower caddy racks that'll transform your home bathroom into the hotel-like experience of your dreams.
Promising review: "Wow, so easy to install! I've had them in my shower for months and have had no issues at all. Once you decide your location, peel and stick. They're thick and sturdy. Holds lots of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soaps, and lotions. They're easy to clean and don't rust. Such a great value!!" —Dawn C.Price: $17.99+ (available in 13 colors)
A Stem bug spray for ants, roaches, and flies that's safe to use around pets and kids, so you can spray the bugs right when you see them instead of waiting for all the other living things to clear the area.
Promising review: "I was at my wit's end with bugs that suddenly appeared in our apartment. It seemed as if they multiplied by the hour. I needed to find a natural way to get rid of them, so I gave Stem a try. I sprayed it at the doorway, window sill, sink and bathtub drains, and under the refrigerator. The smell of Stem is very strong at first, but not unbearable. Just do not spray too much, since it leaves a little oily film on the surface. It worked like a charm and is very affordable. Love it!" —ChristinePrice: $6.97
A set of two down-alternative pillows to replace your flat-as-a-pancake situations and give you the OPTIMAL sleep you deserve! Also, peak guests-coming-to-stay season is upon us, so check on your guest pillow stash, too.
Promising review: "Typically I end up buying pillows in the clearance bin at HomeGoods or buy a multipack at Sam's Club, but I figured I'm getting too old not to have good pillows. I saw these had amazing reviews so I decided to give them a try. I am not disappointed at all! They are soft enough to be really comfortable, but firm enough that they don't end up flat or your head doesn't get swallowed up by them. They turned out to be exactly what I had hoped for with regard to comfort and quality. I'm glad I spent the money to buy these." —RUINER41Price: $49.99+ (available in three sizes)
A hat (or scrunchie!) holder because "small organizers for small things" is basically the best philosophy, and these totally fit the bill! This is also perfect for holding a top or pants hanger while you're building the rest of your outfit!
Promising review: "I am so glad we found these. They are easy to install and help keep all the hats in one place rather than tossed in the top of the closet. Keeps it much better looking and organized in there. Wish we had them sooner!" —Lyndsey Price: $6.79+ (available in four colors and packs of two, four, six, and eight)
A digital alarm clock that has a big display and a USB charging port, making this thing your new fav bedside table companion.
Promising review: "This clock has been my absolute favorite since I got it out of the box, can't go back. Two alarms, adjustable volume, battery backup, very solid buttons, and a clear display. Would totally recommend! It also has little plugs you can place in different spots, I actually used it to hang it off my shelf instead of placing it on the table. The speaker did break after a bit of use (the clock still works), but I emailed the company and they arranged to send me a new one the same day. 10/10 would recommend." —Brian TanabePrice: $12.99+ (available in three styles and three colors)
A handheld clothing steamer because it's basically a magic wand that you can wave at your clothes to avoid ironing.
Promising review: "This clothes steamer is a must-have for travel to an event, such as a wedding, where you have clothing that cannot be ironed. I purchased this for an upcoming wedding and tried it out on some clothes at home. It takes a bit of time to steam an entire shirt, but it works very well and I'm glad I will have this tool when needed." —Nola in SoCalPrice: $25.64+ (available in two colors)
A mini air fryer to take mozzarella sticks, veggies, and basically anything you can think of from "frozen solid" to "courtside seats for the next episode of The Great British Baking Show" in MINUTES.
An easy-twist chicken shredder tool to kiss the irritating two-fork method goodbye for good.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough about this little gadget for shredding chicken!!! It is amazing! I have done the two-fork method - that's exhausting. I have done the beater/mixer method—that's messy. But THIS is easy, quick, and shreds chicken like it should be shredded—so it gets used often. Just spray both pieces with some olive oil, let chicken cool a little after frying, and easy peasy—shredded chicken for so many dishes. I LOVE THIS. I always slice my chicken breasts thin into about three pieces and this will handle all three at a time." —DPrice: $9.99+ (available in nine colors)
A two-pack of spandex tablecloths so you can make your summer party tables look gorgeously uniform and not have to chase off after the cheap paper ones if you happen to be outdoors.
Promising review: "I have a number of folding tables and each has a slightly different leg arrangement, but these table clothes work with all of them, fit very nicely and look awesome and super professional. I highly recommend them." —Nextdoor JoePrice: $16.99+ (available in four sizes, 19 colors, and packs of two and 10)
A picture frame with a mat if you have some cute Etsy prints that have been sitting around waiting to be framed and put up on the wall.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I have a wall that had nothing except a bronze and gold mechanic clock. I wanted to do a wall of pictures of family. I bought these and a few other sizes of this same brand and color. They are plastic so not so heavy. Very easy to install once you figure out how to use the new fancy porcupines included to hang on the wall. I will definitely be using this brand as my go to frames." —wifey14Price: $6.29+ (available in tons of sizes and 15 colors)
A four-pack of magnetic rack organizers perfect for spices, coffee fixings, and anything else you want super close and accessible while you're whipping up a masterpiece.
Promising review: "I don't know why I waited so long to order these. I absolutely love them and it has transformed my spice cabinet. Since my refrigerator is next to my stove these are perfect. Most of my most used spices are right there. They hold more than I thought they would and it looks nice and organized. They adhere very well and feel very sturdy. If you like things organized then you should buy this product. I have no regrets with this purchase." —Erica S.Price: $16.99+ (available in 18 colors and also in packs of two and six)
A 100% pure memory foam travel pillow to optimize your relaxation time while you're on long plane, car, or train rides. Summer can mean more traffic and longer commutes, so might as well be comfy!
Promising review: "Loved this, I used it on my flight from LAX to Seoul. This travel pillow was very comfortable, would recommend for those wanting comfort on a long car ride, an airplane, or anything that involves traveling." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $9.99 (available in three styles and four colors)
A Fiskars heavy-duty shovel that'll go the distance and not leave you with a half-finished task and a broken handle.
Promising review: "This is the second one I have purchased, and I can tell you that after almost 10 years, this is the best shovel I have ever used. There isn't even a close second place. Digging out tree stumps, no worries about breaking the shovel when prying out roots, and I'm a big guy who can put a lot of force on that shovel. So then, why did I purchase a second one? Because I got tired of having to give my good shovel to someone else and using the junky one. Now that I have two, I don't have to give up mine." —MurphyPrice: $40.48
A compact and lightweight garden hose since life *and* the tendons in your wrist are too short to unnecessarily haul around those huge, green, heavy monstrosities.
Promising review: "Like other items you see promoted on TV, you approach it with suspicion. We did, too, but I finally ordered one back in the summer and couldn't be more pleased. It truly performs as advertised. We have a nice garden and various flower pots. We had a typical hose, which was too heavy and even more difficult to roll up after use. With the copper hose, we now fight to see who is going to water the plants first. It is truly fun. So lightweight but well made. The multi-spray feature is great. Just as advertised!" —PB CannonPrice: $54.97
A Wetcat Turkish beach towel to take along on all your summer adventures. I gave these to my kiddo's teachers as end-of-school gifts last year and ended up getting one for myself when I felt how soft they are! (The teachers still rave about them, FYI.)
Promising review: "Bought before going on my cruise, after comparing like items on Amazon. Turned out to be exactly as described! Plenty big enough, lightweight, sand shook right off, washed and dried quickly. I did hang it to dry. No odd smell to it straight out of the package. Even worked well as a lightweight blanket while sitting out on our balcony. I will definitely be buying a second!" —KNATAOPrice: $21.99+ (available in two sizes and 41 colors)
An oscillating floor fan because when the summer heat gets too intense, every bit of breeze helps.
Promising review: "Love this fan because of the simplicity and classic rotating design. When I initially turned it on, I was worried it was too loud, but I have since grown really attached to the sound. It provides a white noise background so that there isn't just piercing silence, especially useful for falling asleep. It blows a lot of air as well, enough for even a living room, although I use it in my office and bedroom. I pretty much keep this thing on all hours of the day since I bought it." —EYEBYEPrice: $39.99
A nonstick ceramic frying pan reviewers love for its heat distribution and easy cleaning. (And that I love for its resemblance to Rapunzel's frying pan without the heavy weight of cast iron.)
Promising review: "My inexpensive 8-inch frying pan was reaching the end of its life. I bought this one based on reviews — and I love it. It's substantial but not cast-iron-heavy. It truly is nonstick, and washing up is a breeze. It's good enough that I'm considering upgrading my other saucepans to the same type. Great quality without the high-priced brand pricing." —TwisterjesterPrice: $19.19+ (available in five sizes and three colors)
A pack of Dr. Killigan's pantry moth traps to get the pests in your pantry to say, "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for that meddling Dr. Killigan." These traps use pheromones to attract the moths and glue to trap 'em so you don't have to wait a long time to see results! (Lots of reviewers reported full traps within 12 hours!)
Promising review: "Disgustingly effective. Saw moths everywhere. I bought these out of desperation and within 5 minutes of setup, caught my first one. After a week, the trap was completely filled, and I stopped seeing moths flying around. I'll keep them out for another two weeks or so, but these have been a huge help!" —Beverrlly Price: $17.97+ (available in two packs and in two colors)
A 16-pair shoe storage container because these shoes were made for walkin', not cluttering up your closet floor. Time to kiss the boots and winter shoes a fond farewell to make room for all the sandals and spring/summer footwear.
Promising review: "Exactly what I needed! My previous solution for storing my shoes under my bed was flimsy and difficult to use. The Onlyeasy shoe storage organizer is sturdy and easy to use. The zipper works easily so my shoes can stay clean. The size of each unit is perfect for under the bed so my shoes are out-of-sight. It accommodates my sandals, dress shoes, and big fluffy pig slippers." —JASPrice: $14.99+ (available in two sizes, three colors, and multipacks)
