Promising review: "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 E.

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

Talisman Designs is a small biz that specializes in products that help make cooking and baking fun!

Promising review: "The bacon bin by Talisman Designs is the best way to deal with bacon (or any!) grease! It's the perfect size — not too large or small, and it's easily reusable! The strainer is perfect for capturing those yummy bacon bits, which normally would go down the drain or in the trash with the grease. I learned some new tips from the package for the best/easiest way to deal with leftover grease. I used to have to hunt for a leftover metal can (when I could find one), then pour in the hot grease, leave the can to cool, and then throw it out (couldn't be recycled). Now, I always have a bin for my grease! My bacon life just got way better thanks to this nifty, reusable bacon bin! Great product!" —Graceland D.

This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more!

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. It turns a week long battle with itching and pain from ant or mosquito bites to only a couple of hours. A lot of times after the first suction the itching goes away completely! This was a game changer for my son who gets eaten by mosquitoes even with bug spray on. Now his bites go away quickly and he's not scratching at them, making them bleed, etc. I am starting to buy these as gifts! Highly recommend, especially for those with kids!!" —Reyka S.

Promising review: "When I ordered this product, I admit, I didn't think it would work. I have adult acne and visit a dermatologist regularly, my chin area is especially bad. I used one the first night I received them. It's acne sorcery. I honestly could not believe it worked. Pimple gone overnight and a flat surface remained. I do not know how they get this pimple magic to work but I am sold and have literally texted all the people in my life. It's complete magic! Do it, I promise you will be shocked!" —Heather L.

Promising review: "This little vacuum has changed my life. I turn it on every other day before I leave for work and when I get home, my floors are clean. I live in an 850-square-foot apartment in New York City and when I used to vacuum with my Miele canister vacuum, the apartment would look great for about two days until a light layer of dust would appear. Now, with the Roomba, I turn it in every other morning, and no more layer of dust. The place feels clean ALL the time. Love it!" —sharpsteven

Reviewers have made everything in this from pork ribs to New York style cheesecake. It'll be hard not to wanna cook every dinner in this.

Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.

Promising review: "There are so many people who say they can't cook, but I swear I'm on a whole new level of not being able to cook. This little appliance helps expand our menu and I have learned to do so much with it. I love how easy it is and how I throw everything in and it comes out done. No stirring and not many messy dishes. I still don't love it for meats, but I think that's just a matter of needing to experiment more with them. I seriously can't believe how many foods can be cooked in here! I found a recipe for a mac 'n' cheese that everyone loves. It's only five ingredients and only requires washing a cheese grater and the pot and it only takes 20 minutes. Before this I had never once made spaghetti with meat sauce. Now I do it all the time. Again, I only have ONE thing to clean afterwards. If I tried doing with without the Instant Pot, I would have a pan for the meat, pot for the pasta, and the strainer. It only takes about 20 minutes start to finish. Since I usually don't have to do many dishes with the Instant Pot, I tend to enjoy experimenting. My family is constantly surprised at how much this has changed how we eat. I love that when we have a last-minute neighborhood get-together and I can whip up a pasta dish and veggie real quick." —Aundrea

Flossing is still important, of course so keep some handy as well!

Promising review: "I'd heard about these things before but I never dreamed I would like having one so much. I've always hated manual flossing with a passion. This is so much nicer and I really enjoy keeping my teeth clean now. It's much more pleasant than pulling the floss between my teeth. My teeth feel so much cleaner after I use this so I use it twice a day. I love it. It is a little noisy but it's not bad. I wish I had gotten it years ago because I actually enjoy doing my teeth now instead of dreading it. I also like this size as it doesn't take up much space on the counter. It's light and easy to move around." —NtheNite

Promising review: "I don't know how I lived without this for so long. Before, I typically used to soak my hairbrushes in shampoo water once a week and tediously take out the hair with a toothbrush, and frankly recycle my hairbrushes every six months. Now, all it takes is 10 seconds of cleaning after every use. Must buy." —Compulsive Shopper

Tough on grease and stains on almost any surface, leaves no scratches, and it's vegan!

Promising review: "I saw someone using this on TikTok and I was skeptical at first, but for $7 I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" —Savannah M.

Promising review: "I am not making this up, I had been wearing a soft white tube sock under the wire area of my bras this summer. It has been hotter than usual in north Georgia and I’ve had some very uncomfortable chafing and irritation from being so sweaty so much of the time. I had the heel of the sock pointing up in the middle. I don't even know what I was searching for on Amazon when I found these little blessings! These bra liners are soft, comfortable, well-made for the price, and not nearly as bulky as wearing tube socks! I’m so glad I found these." —Cheryl K.

A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get five different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, slicer, grater, and a julienne blade.

Promising review: "Cooking has completely changed with this product. It's a must have in the kitchen for me now. It makes chopping and slicing vegetables/etc, wayyyyy faster and easier. The blades are VERY sharp, so be careful when using, I have cut myself just washing it. But it's great." —Helen B.

They're made with mineral-based ingredients, are cruelty-free, and come in compostable packaging!

Promising review: "I wasn't expecting much when I bought these. I thought for sure it was another environmentally-safe product that would only do half the job. But, they are amazing and get the dishes clean with no residue. Well worth the money and so convenient. I will be using these from now on." —TamiP

Promising review: "Let me tell you how skeptical I was! I brought this to work on a Saturday after filling my salad contents into the compartments. That day I didn't get around to eating my salad. I got home and put it in the fridge. I forgot about it until Wednesday. I didn't open it and brought it back to work. I didn't get to eat it that day either and I never opened the container. I was actually dreading it. Yesterday (Thursday) I finally opened it. I was fearful. Guess what?? EVERYTHING was still crisp and fresh!!! My lettuce was still crunchy and so were my croutons!! It had been almost six days since I opened it from the date I made it! I was shocked!! The portion size is good, except I wish the dressing container was a little bigger. I haven't used the fork yet. There isn't really a place to put it but that's OK because I have portable flatware I use. I really just bought this for the size and all the great reviews. You will love this!!!" —Amazonuser

Promising review: "CeraVe was recommended to us by our daughter's pediatrician to help with her eczema. While she still has eczema, this cream is fantastic with keeping her skin smooth and keeping her irritation at bay. She no longer has the red bumps or splotchy red spots on her skin and rarely has flare-ups anymore! We use CeraVe every night after bath time and not only does it keep our baby's skin smooth, but it keeps Mama's hands silky smooth as well! During our first vacation, we made the decision to bring several sample lotions of different brands and we found they just were not the same. We highly recommend this baby cream!" —TheGummyMummy

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Especially because with a husband and a son, they tend to sprinkle on the toilet seat in the middle of the night. With the color set to any bright color (like white, yellow, green, or blue) it illuminates every single sprinkle on the seat! You will no longer have a bottom wet with pee in the middle of the night! When I purchased this I bought a case of AAA batteries thinking I would have to change them often (with six people in the house they get used often). However I have not had to change the batteries once in a few months! Also the sensor is super sensitive so it turns on as you come through the door, or even a little before. Just a great product all around. Definitely recommend for households with children, you won't have to leave your bathroom light in all night anymore either! #MomWin." —Angela

This baby has more than 84,000 5-star ratings and rightfully so!! Give this baddie all its flowers. All you have to do is put it in the drain and then clean it every once in a while.

Read one BuzzFeeder's full TubShroom review.

Promising review: "I got tired of busting my fingers trying to get the drain cover off to pick out my wife's hair (yuck!!!) every month. I had seen this pop up every now and then as a suggested item but I always thought 'yeah, I'll get this eventually.' Well, 50 pounds of hair later, I decided to get it. Man, this product is pure genius!!! It works so freakin' well, can't believe that I lived so long without it. It's a soft rubber thing (not hard plastic like I had thought), so stubbing your toe on it is a nonissue. I thought that since it wasn't hard plastic it wouldn't work well, I was wrong on every level. Strangely, I'm still the person who has to empty the thing, but I make sure that I show my wife her hair ball and brag about how happy I am that it's at least a bit easier to access. Great product, and happy that I could pick a color (orange!), which is a small but rewarding feeling, I guess!" —Thomas Lindsey

Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America!

Promising review: "At first this looked gimmicky, but I saw a need for something like this. I use vacuum bags to freeze my meat and with our schedules, thawing out our meal for that evening often includes placing the frozen block in water to thaw in a reasonable time. Without this item, I was left to put a heavy pot or iron skillet on top to keep it in submerged to speed the thawing process. This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. And before you object, 'that's not safe, the temperature will rise too much and promote bacteria growth' — I have ServSafe certs. I know my time and temp levels and those are in no way even close to approaching the danger zone unless you leave it for hours before cooking. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7

These containers help keep your produce fresh by keeping moisture away. They're also designed with a special vent filter, which you never have to replace, to regulate the carbon dioxide and oxygen flow to your produce.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown tried these containers for herself, and, well, you just gotta read her full Rubbermaid FreshWorks container review.

Promising review: "I don't know how they manage to do it but these are fantastic and really make produce last so much longer! As a single person household I often struggle with trying to minimize food waste, especially when prepackaged fruit and vegetables are not portioned for one person. These have been invaluable in helping me keep food fresh and being able to make my groceries last. It just looks like a regular plastic tub, hence why I think there is magic involved. These are worth the investment, after a few weeks I already made money back in reducing my waste and extra shopping trips!" —Laura D.

Tower 28 is a LA-based, Asian woman-owned small business that creates vegan and cruelty-free beauty products for all skin types.

Promising reviews: "Wow! I have dry, acne-prone skin and was recently prescribed retinol and clindamycin and got an ear piercing. My skin cleared up with the prescriptions but I started to breakout in places I never do. I purchased this to use instead of the clindamycin in the morning and my skin has been consistently good for the past two months. I use this in the morning after washing my face and then use a hydrating serum or just moisturizer and sunscreen. (I use the retinol or Good Genes at night). I haven't had maskne, my acne/bumps cleared, and I really haven't had anything to complain about. I got a new ear piercing and was aware that I would need to be careful with getting product on it and saw in the description of this product that it was ok/helpful for new piercings/helps promote healing. I am not spraying this on my ear but it does get on my ear when I generously spray my face and I haven't had any irritation. It does smell like chlorine when first sprayed but the scent dissipates fast. I love this magical spray!" —spokanecf

Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate-rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil things took over our house. These apple traps are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos

Promising review: "AMAZING STUFF! I could not get these scuffs off my white uniform scrubs. Washed it so many times with other stain removers, used the pencil removers, soaked it, scrubbed it, and nothing. But this stuff? Omg, I sprayed it, let it sit for almost eight hours then washed it, the stains are completely gone!!! This is what made magic a thing, lol." —Nini N.

Promising review: "Best bath toy organizer I've ever owned! The hooks are super strong and it is large enough to hold all my kid's bath toys. I've never found one in a store that was big enough to hold everything. I love that it's a flexible bag/fabric so that it stretches to accommodate all the large and small toys. The two extra hooks were a nice bonus too. If you're tired of bath toys laying all over the tub, I highly recommend this organizer, especially for the price."—Jessica R.

Promising review: "I have been told I cackle wildly when using these. Where there used to be frustration and curse words, there is now glee and sweet satisfaction. Scraping pans, tins, and tray sheets has become a breeze since I bought these. Originally bought for my cast irons, but the other cookware wanted in on that nonscratch, sweet sweet scrape action." —Amazon Customer
