25 Problem-Solving Products That'll Have You Covered In The Long Run
1. A two-pack of reusable mop pads that offers a more sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Reviewers even say these reusable pads are more efficient at cleaning by picking up more dirt and grime, and all you have to do is throw them in the washer! Each reusable mop pad replaces up to 100 disposable pads and can be used up to 100 times with proper washing. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17! Turbo Mops also sells another version of mop pads designed to work with the Swiffer Wet Jet! Turbo Mops is a small business established in 2018 to provide eco-conscious cleaning supplies. Promising review:"This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" — Isabella M. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. 2. A genius veggie chopper, which can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. Besides using this all the time for delicious chopped salads, it's going to become your favorite gadget year after year when your family requests your famous dressing, not only for Thanksgiving, but also on Christmas, Easter, and at birthdays! It comes with four interchangeable dice blades and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping. Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets. 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 Get the 4-in-1 style from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors and four other styles). 3. A pair of polarized sunglasses designed to fit OVER your prescription glasses (or readers). If you have stacks of expensive Rx sunnies you can't wear anymore because your prescription changed, these don't require a doc appointment *and* are under $20, meaning you can wear them for years over your changing everyday frames with no worries! This is for anyone who can't see without glasses, but always drools over trending non-prescription styles online and in the store! Promising reviews: "Love these shades! These sunglasses are awesome. They fit perfectly over my prescription glasses without feeling bulky or awkward. The polarized lenses are great — no more glare when I'm driving or out fishing. They're super lightweight and comfortable, even after wearing them for hours. Plus, they look really cool! I've gotten a few compliments already... They come with a nice soft bag and cleaning cloth, which is a nice bonus. Definitely recommend these if you need sunglasses that work over glasses!" — alin Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in 13 styles and 19 rhinestone-studded styles). 4. The compact Levoit air purifier with a HEPA-grade filter that effortlessly removes dander, dust, pollen, smoke, and daily odors from your home while barely making a peep! This is definitely a must-have for anyone who owns a pet or deals with allergies throughout the year. Promising reviews: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. 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 version of this same purifier for the two 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 rooms 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 "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18x18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in two colors and four styles, including a WiFi-enabled version). 5. A set of adjustable clip holders to tuck away your bra straps when you want to pull off your favorite racerback or yoke top, but stay supported. Or, use it to keep loose straps from falling down, so you can save money on buying new bras! Amazon Promising review:"My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them. I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time. Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders is adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras. At first, it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it didn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try." — Polly Esther Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.49+ (available in seven color combos and in a five-pack). 6. A hands-free foot pull for your doors and cabinets, so you can navigate your kitchen with your hands full and still have access to your pull-out trash can or pantry. This will really come in handy during a busy day of meal-prepping when it's time to open up the fridge while balancing seven days worth of Tupperware! It comes with an adhesive pad and two screws for temporary or permanant installation! Promising reviews: " This makes getting to my kitchen trash can so much easier! Messy, full hands don't matter. It also came with an adhesive pad, which is how I installed it. It's held up so far and if/when it fails two screws are also included Edit: It's been several weeks and the adhesive is holding strong." — Patricia Getchell "So often my hands are full or messy from cooking and I need to throw something away, especially after cracking eggs and wanting toss shells yet my fingers are slightly eggy. Rather than touching the cabinet handle to the trash bin, this has been so great! It allows me to open it using my foot easily and it discreetly matches my white cabinets. Exactly what I wanted." — minmom Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four styles and sets of two). 7. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner featuring a unique attachment that sprays cleaning solution, scrubs away the mess, *and* suctions it all up! So when your beloved pup noshes on something they shouldn't and vomits EVERYTHING up at 4 a.m. on your carpeted bedroom won't have to think twice about how to clean it, thanks to this portable, tote bag-sized gadget. BTW, this tool comes with an auto detailer attachment and a small bottle of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $9.99! Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. I have a cat and dog with an almost white couch, so this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." — Amazon Customer "This little guy has been working pretty well for me so far. Raising my puppy from 8 weeks, I've had my share of things to try and get out of the carpet, from pee stains to puke to things he would knock over to the mud he would track in. This would get most of it out if I used it right away. I am happy with the way it takes out most stains." — Cece Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 8. An cylindrical ice mold that you can use over and over to create slower-melting, hollow ice that actually fits in your go-to Stanley cup. Plus, the ingenious hollow design helps keep your straw from being awkwardly angled or stuck in a hardened mass of ice cubes! The tray makes three different sizes of ice cubes that will fit in 20-oz., 30-oz., and 40-oz. tumblers. Promising review: "I use these in my BruMate and Meoky cups, and they fit perfectly. I always struggle with getting my straw through the ice and in the middle so the lid will close. These ice cubes stay on the edge of the cup and allow plenty of room for the straw." — sarah schultz Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 9. A doctor-recommended and internet-sensation Squatty Potty, which simply sits at the front of your porcelain throne for you to prop your feet up while you do your business. This top-rated stool helps you align your colon, so you can go #2 easier *and* faster (we're talking seconds, compared to minutes), so you don't have to keep bringing a novel or newspaper with you on each and every bathroom trip. Read more about constipation relief at home, including using a squatting position, at Cleveland Clinic. And if you want more Squatty Potty content before making the best purchase of your life, check out our Squatty Potty review. Promising review:"I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." — P.W. Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in three styles). For a more ~aesthetic~ throne, splurge on the acrylic version for $79.99 or the bamboo wood version for $24.99. 10. A crack-weeder tool made of stainless steel and designed to reach deep into those annoying narrow sidewalk spaces to extract weeds, moss, thistles, and other invasive greenery that you can't get to with your bare hands. This will make your sun-baked Sunday afternoon gardening so much easier, and help relieve some of the stress on your back and knees from pulling weeds yourself! Promising review: "I've been searching for something to remove the weeds for a while and came across this amazing tool. Since I refuse to use chemicals in my yard, I've been left with scraped knuckles every time I attempt to remove weeds. The weeds have grown so tightly in the concrete cracks that I pretty much gave up; even weed-whacking it didn't help much. Yes, you do have to use a little bit of effort, but the end result was so worth it!" — Shelley Arakaki Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 11. Plus, a standing weeder with three steel claws to grip weeds *and* roots, so you can pull them out without bending over. If every spring, tending to your beloved garden also means becoming painfully aware that you're getting older — cracking knees, sore back, calluses — you're going to fall in love with this must-have tool! Amazon Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based family-owned small business specializing in weeding tools. Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 12. A ChomChom pet hair remover that features a patented brush design, so all you have to do is push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint into a chamber — whether it's attached to clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, and more. Over 140,000 reviewers have bestowed it with a 5-star rating, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — Shelby Cipolla Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 13. An auto-shutoff outlet if you've ever been miles away from home and randomly panicked, wondering if you turned off your flat iron or hot plate. This nifty gadget plugs into your outlet, so all you have to do is plug in your device and set the timer. Then, you'll never have to worry if your house is burning down while you're enjoying brunch ever again (or at whatever you've plugged in)! 😮💨 Amazon The timer can be set for one, two, four, or eight hours. There's also a hold option, which leaves the item on indefinitely. Promising review:"Great product!! Now I never have to worry about leaving my curling iron plugged in!! I also bought one for my mom!!" — Sandra R. Get it from Amazon for $12.39. 14. A set of reusable trolley dividing bags that fit ✨ perfectly ✨ in your shopping cart, so you can bag and organize your groceries while you shop. This set of four even includes an insulated bag to hold your refrigerated and frozen items, so we can all celebrate never having to use plastic or paper bags while grocery shopping again! Each set includes four machine-washable and foldable bags. Lotus Sustainables is a small business with a mission to eliminate plastic bags. Promising review:" This bag is perfect!! I have wanted one for a while now and finally purchased them about two weeks ago. Since then, I have used the bags several times at the grocery store. Even when I ran in for a few items I was able to detach the two smaller bags and just use them. I love the cooler bag, it is perfect for all of my refrigerated items. The egg and wine compartments in the largest purple bag are genius! I have received so many questions and comments on the bags every time I use them. I would definitely recommend getting the Lotus Trolley Bags!" — Get them from Amazon for $44.99. 15. A portable dehumidifier because fluctuating spring temperatures and sporadic rainstorms can lead to sticky, humid interiors. This tiny powerhouse can collect up to nine ounces of excess moisture in the air from a room each day and is even designed with a seven-color light function, so it can double as a nightlight as it runs. It boasts a transparent tank, so you can see the water collection volume and effortlessly remove it for emptying or cleaning. It also has an auto shut off for when the tank is full! Promising review:"This little thing sucks some serious water out of the air. I have to empty it sometimes, as often as every other day. Before, I used to wake up drenched in sweat even when it wasn't particularly hot in my room, and now I can sleep through the night. It keeps the humidity down to a bearable level." — Chocolate Latte Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 16. A magnetic laundry guard to help keep clothes, soap caps, and dryer sheets from falling into the abyss behind your washer/dryer. It's adjustable and attaches with magnets, so you don't have to do any heavy lifting to set it up! Amazon Promising review:"Oh, how I love this laundry guard! I have very little counter space in my laundry room and this allows me to use all that space on top of the washer and dryer for folding clothes. No more fishing socks and underwear from behind the machines! I love it, and so does everyone else who visits and sees it for the first time. The magnets hold it in place very well. There is not a lot of shifting unless I throw something large and heavy up there, but it's an easy adjustment to get it back in place. Good quality, not flimsy at all. I highly recommend this product." — Christa Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in two colors). 17. A pair of machine-washable, reusable Bambody period undies made with moisture-wicking fabric and a leakproof layer that alone can hold up to four tampons' worth of liquid — no backup products required! This super sustainable option will help make sure you stay dry and comfy during that time of the month, and you can wear them solo or (if you're extra cautious) as a backup with your favorite menstrual disc, cup, or tampon! Also, the leakproof layer is PFA free — learn more about that testing here. Promising review: "Before this I had only used the brand Thinx. I feel like these ones from Bambody are more comfortable and have more coverage. Also these have not leaked at all for me. I like that the material feels light and breathable. I also like the dark color. I've only washed them once so far but they've held up, even with me putting them in the dryer at the low, delicate setting. For sizing, I got an XL (the underwear themselves say size 9) which fit comfortably, usually in other brands I wear a large/size 14." — Elizabeth Desmarais Get a pair from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XXS–3X and assorted color combos; check the size chart for measurements). 18. A handy portable car vacuum that plugs into your 12V car outlet with a stretchy cord and three detailing attachments to get into all those hard-to-reach places. Forget about dragging your household vacuum down, when you can use this to clean out your car after your annual beach week in Cape Cod with your college roomies year after year! Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments. Promising review:"It's been challenging to keep a black interior vehicle clean, living on a farm, with dirt driveway. ThisWorx corded car vacuum cleaner is the perfect solution. The slim cleaner has powerful suction, plugs into the cigarette lighter. The flexible hose nozzle reaches hard to reach places, including under and between seats. The 16 foot power cord will easily reach from the cigarette lighter to the back area of my SUV. My most used tool is the brush nozzle, excellent for cleaning contour seats. It's easy to clean the filter, just press the vacuum release button and shake out dirt. The simplicity, light weight, and functionality of this car vacuum cleaner will especially be appreciated by [anyone]. Highly recommend." — Patricia J. Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in three styles). 19. A pair of deceptively thin extra-long oven mitts designed with heat-resistant and flame-retardant silicone with a grippy texture to help prevent kitchen accidents and messes. The extra length will help keep your hands *and* forearms protected from steam, heat, or accidental burns when you have to reach way back in the oven to get a good grip on your heavy cast-iron pan. These oven mitts offer protection up to 450 degrees F. Promising reviews: "Great and the only oven mitts I use now. East to clean, very safe, and never had any feeling of heat come through. Love that they are long and have nonslip grips on them too. Have thrown all other old pairs of cloth mitts away!" — Monica " Very grippy, waterproof, insulating, easy to clean, protects my arms from burns. A little stiffer than cloth, but that doesn't seem to be any more of a problem than with cloth mitts. What I like the most is that as soon as the mitts get dirty, I can wash them at the kitchen sink as easily as I wash my hands and I can immediately use them again since they still insulate when wet." — C Luce Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 12 colors, bundles, and two sizes). 20. A set of reviewer-beloved reusable silicone Nippies, which reviewers love for their seamless look underneath clothing and sticking power. Whether or not, you're a fully-booked bridesmaid with dozens of upcoming weddings over the next few years, you'll definitely run into at least five events that require a strapless or backless outfit and Nippies will have you covered (literally)! Amazon, BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown has tried these and raves: "I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!" Promising review: " This is probably the third pair I've purchased over the past several years. I mainly wear them when we go on vacations to warm places and I have a dress or something with an open back. They stick well, clean up well, and have lasted... [over eight] hours in the tropical humid heat on numerous occasions! Love how seamless they are too!" — Randi N. Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in three sizes, with or without lift, and five shades). 21. A set of wool dryer balls that make a great, nearly infinitely reusable alternative to dryer sheets and help your clothes dry faster with fewer wrinkles. Pro-tip: add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the balls to scent your laundry! Amazon Promising review:"I have been using these for over year now and I absolutely love them. I only use four in my dryer and they have reduced the time it takes to dry clothes. I did not add a scent to the balls so I sometimes throw a dryer sheet in with the balls. They make a soft thud sound while drying. I have given them as gifts to all of my sisters-in-law and they love them." — P. King Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three pack sizes). 22. A set of silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout. You can use these over and over to help strengthen your vaginal muscles for great results like improved bladder control or more pleasurable sex (whether or not you've had or are having children)! The silicone material means these Kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water. Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think [anyone] who has ever had kids should try this out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, and no more mad dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 23. A Baseboard Buddy, which picks up dust, dirt, and pet hair thanks to its uniquely shaped swivel brush head and reusable microfiber pad. The handle even extends up to 4 feet long for cleaning hard-to-reach ceilings, baseboards, or moldings. Your home will be sparkling clean! Each microfiber pad is reusable (the kit includes three!) and can be used wet or dry. Promising review:" Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for 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 Get it from Amazon for $26.99. 24. A Le Creuset magnetic trivet that attaches to metal bottoms in a *snap* allowing you to place the too-hot-to-handle Dutch oven with your freshly baked loaf onto the kitchen table without burning a ring! Plus, it's created with durable, sturdy acacia wood, so it makes an aesthetically pleasing functional addition to your kitchen, as well. Amazon FYI — the trivet is heat-resistant up to 482 degrees F! Promising review: "The wood is really super nice, smooth, and clean. It sticks great to the pan, and the silicone rings add great shock absorption, so it doesn't make a lot of noise when I send down my heavy-ass 13-some-inch skillet! It cleans off easily; I've only used it a handful of times, but it still looks brand new! A little pricey, but it's a premium kitchen thing. I recommend don't settle for something cheaper." — K. Lujan Get it from Amazon for $49.95. 25. An Apple-compatible locator tag, which works exactly like an AirTag for a fraction of the price. Connect it to your Find My Friends app and never worry about where your indoor/outdoor cat who likes to roam around the neighborhood while you're at work is hanging out. The included battery lasts for a year, but with these long-lasting replacements, you can keep using the same locator tag for as long as your favorite feline is on the prowl! Each one comes with a waterproof case and silicone holder! Promising review: "Perfect tracker with a stylish touch! They function perfectly with the Apple Find My app, and I use them for my backpack, keys, and luggage. No more worrying about lost things thanks to the extremely accurate tracking and easy setup! I adore that I can rely on it to protect my AirTag in any conditions. This is the perfect tracker if you're an iOS user searching for something dependable, useful, and stylish! Five stars! Highly recommended!" — JoyfulGenius Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four styles and in a four-pack).

35 Products That Work So Well, You'll Want To Burst Into Song
1. A pair of teeth-whitening pens to help remove years (!!!) of staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day! Coffee, red wine, chocolate, and other things that stain your teeth no longer have to be your nemesis after adding this pen to your routine — you'll wish you started using this years ago! Each pen can be used up to 20 times. Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 2. A genius veggie chopper that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. It comes with four interchangeable dice blades and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! You'll have enough time to put on your own rendition of Waitress: The Musical when you're meal-prepping with this cult-favorite gadget! The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets. 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 Get the 4-in-1 style from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors and four other styles). 3. Gloves In a Bottle to keep your hands hydrated and protected throughout the day *and* through repeated bouts of washing your hands. It's a big hit with medical professionals who constantly have to sanitize their hands, but you'll find it comes in ~handy~ for preventing irritation and dry skin during regular use, too! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Daniel Boan has to say about this:"I started using this last winter and HIGHLY recommend it. Just one application in the morning is enough to keep my skin feeling soft all day, and it absorbs super quickly. I was worried the "protective barrier" would feel sticky or thick on my skin, but I never notice it! My dry hands feel so much more moisturized and soft since using this. It's a constant staple at my sink now." Gloves In a Bottle is a family-owned small business. Promising review: " I work in the healthcare field, and like many nurses and staff, I was getting REALLY bad dermatitis on the backs of both my hands from the constant washing and gloves. A colleague recommended that I try gloves in a bottle to help because it was to the point that my hands would BURN every time I washed them. So I wash my hands really well before work and use the shielding lotion, and my dermatitis is pretty much gone! I like how the smell isn't too abrasive, and it really does absorb quickly into the skin." — Katelyn Brown Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents). 4. A *self-cleaning* grooming brush featuring angled wires for superior detangling and retractable bristles, so all you do is press a button to remove all the hair you've brushed off! It's perfect if your furry companion looks like a member of the Hair cast, complete with the counterculture "long hair, don't care" attitude. I have the fluffiest dog on the planet (a Chow Chow), and well THIS, let me say it in bold THIS BRUSH HERE is quite possibly the most important pet tool I own. It gets everything out of his fur from burrs, thistles, mud, slobber, dirt, and whatever else gets in there! I use it daily, seriously, and it has yet to fail me. My favorite part is being able to click the button and the fur just peels right off the brush, no digging or struggling around bristles like a regular comb at all. I wish I had one of these for my own detangling process. Plus, he loves it! I can literally brush him while he sleeps, no problem. Get it. GET IT NOW. Also, it literally has over 68,000 5-star ratings, so I'm not the only one. Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too! Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of ... At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet "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 4 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 what 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 Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in purple or aqua). 5.

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helena Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96. 6. An Apple-compatible locator tag, which works exactly like an AirTag for a fraction of the price. Connect it to your Find My Friends app and never worry about where your Bohemian house cat who likes to roam outside is hanging out... probably at the local Jellicle Ball! Each one comes with a waterproof case and silicone holder! Promising review: "Perfect tracker with a stylish touch! They function perfectly with the Apple Find My app, and I use them for my backpack, keys, and luggage. No more worrying about lost things thanks to the extremely accurate tracking and easy setup! I adore that I can rely on it to protect my AirTag in any conditions. This is the perfect tracker if you're an iOS user searching for something dependable, useful, and stylish! Five stars!

Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution. Color-balancing in makeup is truly nothing short of practical if it can disappear dark circles and under-eye bags! Because of the color-balancing, each of the shade options is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the light rose would be best for fairer skin and the dark mocha hue would work for deeper skin tones. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 8. The no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower spray to get rid of soap scum and mildew taking over your tub or shower stall. Simply spray down your shower and rinse it 8–12 hours later! Satisfied customers have bestowed over 37,000 5-star ratings for how it helps them work smarter, not harder, when it comes to knocking out chores. Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 9.

And here's one TikToker who says this polish is a "hack" for someone always running late and shows us the 60-second drying process in real time! Promising review: "This is my go to nail polish. The fact that it's fast drying is a plus. It's so pretty and it has the most beautiful colors. It has excellent longevity especially when paired with a top coat. I also feel as if it can go with so many different outfits/colors because of the changes of the color in different lights. It would be even better if it were a bit darker so I wouldn't need to apply as many layers. Definitely recommend!" — Mama N Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades). 10. A bottle of earwax removal drops if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use microfoaming carbamide peroxide solution begins working in seconds to loosen up hardened earwax, so you can flush it away and enjoy hearing your neighbor's in-time reviews of your midnight, one-person production of Hamilton — 10/10! BTW to properly irrigate your ear after using these drops, you'll need either a classic bulb syringe or this fancier, quad-stream syringe designed specifically for wax removal. Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 11.

If that's something you're interested in, of course. Promising review:"I had to take some time out of my day to sit down and tell you about this lotion because, holy moly. I have NEVER gone through a full bottle of lotion before. But this stuff??? Magic in a freaking bottle! I have been using this over the course of two years and I'm absolutely in love. It keeps my skin truly moisturized and doesn't leave an oily residue like most lotions. It really absorbs into my skin. I originally got this to help with my stretch marks from carrying my son but one day I used it as a face moisturizer because I was out of my face cream and I have been using only this since then. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't clog my pores, it doesn't make my face ungodly greasy. This stuff is literally a game changer for my skin!" — Chrystal W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 12. A powerful dishwashing spray, which breaks down grease and food debris *in minutes*, in turn saving you loads of time by eliminating the need to pre-soak your dishes. Just spray and wipe the mess away... guess you'll have to find a new chore that prompts belting "It's A Hard Knock Life" at the top of your lungs! 🥲 Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say:"I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." Promising review:"This Dawn is AMAZING! Spray, let it sit for a few minutes and wipe or spray clean. No elbow grease needed to get pot and pans squeaky clean!" — StaySea7 Get one spray and three refills from Amazon for $12.25. 13.

Plus, it'll do it all with the least amount of elbow grease you've had to use in a while. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 14. A fungal nail renewal treatment formulated with lactic acid, urea, and propylene glycol to help reduce discoloration, thicken your nails, and leave them looking smoother and healthier! It's truly a must if you've been looking for a solution to brittle toenails and other visible fungal damage that may be preventing you from confidently wearing open-toed shoes. Hey Siri, play "Strut" by The Cheetah Girls! 💃 Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available with or without a nail file). 15.

Bring your hair back to life and show off your silky and voluminous tresses that look like you just left the salon. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us! This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 16. The compact Levoit air purifier with a HEPA-grade filter for removing dander, dust, pollen, smoke, and daily odors from your home while barely making a peep! This is definitely a must-have for anyone who owns a pet or deals with allergies throughout the year. Honestly, having fresher air around the house is the perfect excuse for singing "Breathe" from In The Heights... in case you needed a real reason. Promising reviews: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. 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 version of this same purifier for the two 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 rooms 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 "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18x18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black and white, plus four styles, including a WiFi-enabled version). 17. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that effortlessly banishes calluses, cracks, and dead skin from your soles and heels.

To use this, simply presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended to use this product in tandem with a foot file afterward to make sure no gel residue or dead skin remains! Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1 million stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents and in packs of two). 18. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara featuring innovative "tubing" technology to wrap around your eyelashes and deliver natural-looking length and volume with a smudge-proof finish. Plus, the "tubing" makes it SO much easier to remove your makeup without any specialized cleaners or abrasive scrubbing! Not-so-falsies for less than $10? NEED. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord (pictured above) has to say: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 19. The ChomChom roller — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber.

Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." — Steve Fadelli "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors). 20.

And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard Get it from Amazon for $9.97 21.

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93 23.

AKA it is a must-have for any aspiring thespian to keep your makeup SET from "curtain call" to the reprisal encore sing-a-long! Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two sizes, and also dewy and radiant finishes). 24. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine! Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know "Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and bundles). 25.

Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried different spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now.

Buy now." — Amazonian Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes). 27.

Juno & Co. is a small business based in California specializing in sustainable, yet effective skincare. Promising review:"I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 28.

Amazon Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based family-owned small business specializing in weeding tools. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $32.99. 29.

Plus, you won't have to search around for trash cans to toss your blotting papers *or* take up precious handbag space carrying setting powder and a brush everywhere with you! Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 31.

I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles and multipacks). 33. A manual flossing toothbrush designed with several layers of soft bristles to reach between teeth, under the gums, and deep into hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get. Plus, reviewers say it feels SUPER gentle even on sensitive teeth! Just FYI, this toothbrush is not a substitute for flossing, and if you have any concerns about using this make sure to talk to your dentist!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these, and here's her take:" I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush and this blows it out of the water. Don't hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" — Amy Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99. 34.

Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two scents). 35. A hard-working toilet pumice stone to make your porcelain throne sparkle from the inside out. This stone tackles those tough, nasty, almost impossible jobs, including rust, mineral deposits, soap scum, and other buildup and stains on hard surfaces. Promising review: " This is an absolute game changer. There was a blackish stain on the bottom of the inside of a toilet in my house from before we even bought the place, and this demolished it in less than five minutes of work. I'm absolutely astounded. I immediately took it to all the rest of the toilets in the house because now that I know how clean ours can look, I never want to go back!" — Dana Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks).

Amazon's wildly popular vegetable chopper is down to $25 (50% off) for a few hours
If we were to tell you a vegetable chopper could change your life, you might (understandably) laugh in our faces. But if the thought of prepping produce is enough to make you order takeout most nights of the week, we'd argue there's one Amazon top-seller — as in, more than 20,000 were purchased in the past month alone — that'll take the headache out of your culinary quests. What sets the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper apart? Unlike gizmos where you have to keep pulling a string to slice your veggies, this gives you a uniform dice in one fell swoop, for starters. Plus, it comes with four interchangeable blades in case you want to switch up the shape of your produce. Most enticing, however? Its price has been slashed to just $25, but this limited-time lightning deal won't last long. The original listed price might be inflated, but this discount brings the Fullstar down to within a few dollars of its lowest price in years. That means it's not likely to dip much, if any, lower than it is now. And when you consider the amount of time and effort it'll save you, that's pretty priceless. Sure, there are other choppers on the market, but this one has tens of thousands of glowing reviews to back it up. As mentioned, this is a lightning deal — that means it'll disappear once it's 100% claimed, so add it to your cart while you can. Onions make you cry? That'll be a thing of the past when it's chopped in 30 seconds flat. Get hand fatigue when you're chopping your mirepoix? Get it done, lickety-split. With this vegetable chopper, what used to take a considerable amount of time now takes seconds. Place your vegetable of choice over one of the dice blades fitted to the chopper (it comes with one large and one small), press the lever down and bam: You'll have perfectly cubed produce that falls right into the attached storage container, keeping messes off your counter. You'll want to make sure your vegetable is trimmed small enough to fit over the blade, but that's so much easier than having to cut up the entire thing. In addition to a dicing blade, the Fullstar comes with spiral and ribbon blades (zoodles, anyone?) and there's a finger guard to help protect against painful nicks and cuts. Speaking of pain, this chopper is suitable for anyone with arthritis or weak hands because it takes a lot of the effort out of slicing and dicing. The soft-grip handle and nonslip base also offer more stability. Cleaning is pretty convenient, too, since the chopper can be disassembled and placed on the top rack of your dishwasher. You'll also get a cleaning brush and two cleaning scrapers to help scrub residue from the corners of the blades, but use caution — they're sharper than they look. Amazon customers aplenty — over 85,000(!) — are smitten with this kitchen helper. "Impressive!" said one happy home cook. "It makes chopping up small veggies like baby carrots, onions and celery a breeze! I'm a senior now with arthritis, and this really helps speed things up in the kitchen while giving my achy hands and fingers a break from the rigors of manually chopping up everything." "Where have you been all my life?" mused another satisfied shopper. "I hate chopping fruit and vegetables, but I like to make my own food ... I am so impressed with the performance. I chopped 1.5 pounds of carrots, one apple and one small onion in no time for ginger carrot soup ... I was eating that soup by the time it would have normally taken to chop all those ingredients by hand." "How did we live without this?" wrote a five-star fan. "Makes cutting up more veggies and fruit so easy. No more tears with onions or dealing with sharp knives. Washes well in the dishwasher and is compact enough to store." Some reviewers noted that de-gunking the blades can be tricky. "My only complaint is it is not super easy to clean, and the blades are extremely sharp, so you need to be careful," wrote one. "If you clean it immediately after use with a spray faucet and use the brush that comes with it, it certainly helps." Several buyers had the same complaint as this user, who wrote, "I wish the top locked into the base so that you didn't have to hold them together. It's just a little cumbersome." That said, they also called it "amazing for meal prep." How 'bout some freshly minced garlic to go with those veggies? Amazon shoppers love this rolling Chef'n GarlicZoom. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
