Promising review: "I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets, knows, etc. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" —Brad J. Leahy

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in bronze).

Promising review: "These coasters work great! The condensation from the glass gets totally absorbed. No more liquid on your table and no more coasters sticking when you lift the glass up!" —Carole Bombardier

Get it from Amazon for $15.89+ (available in TONS of other colors/patterns).

Promising review: "I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured what the heck. They came quickly and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." —Kindle Customer

Get them from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising reviews: "Well worth the money for a family with multiple competing dietary restrictions. These work really well! I can cook vegan and meat dishes fort the same family meal, with minimal cleanup in between. It's also easy to lift out leftovers in the liner, to save all of the sauce with the main ingredients." —FSW

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lily LOVES these slow cooker liners and says: "I always keep these in my kitchen cabinets on the same shelf as my ziplock bags because have you ever tried to clean out a slow cooker? Yeah? OK, you know what I'm talking about. It's super cumbersome! I used to *not* use my slow cooker because I dreaded the cleanup. These totally solve that! And no, your food won't taste or smell like plastic because of them. Granted, they're not the most sustainable solution but they're incredibly helpful."

Promising review: "I ordered a few different sets from this company and all seem really airtight so far. I like how they stack and am loving the label options. My pantry is looking really organized. Yay!" —Jackie

Get them from Amazon for $38.74+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I am very pleased with these hangers! I first bought one to try it with my boyfriend’s pants and I loved them so I had to buy another one. The material of the part where you place the pants prevents any type of clothing from sliding off. Saves a lot of space on my closet and was easy to install, took me less than two minutes. The hangers come with the tool necessary and an extra piece that holds the rods in case you lose one. Overall very happy with the results, will buy again if I need more!" —Lizette Lopez

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "YOU NEED IT FOR YOUR DORM ROOM!!! I got this as a gift and I am sad i didn’t think about this my freshman year. I legit can cook anything and it is so easy to use. For the price I paid, I would say this product is my most prized possession. All of my friends use it because it’s so convenient since I eat a lot of pizza rolls and chicken nuggets. It’s super east to clean and cooks everything super fast." —Maria

Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in five colors).

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love these liners. I love the fact that you get three in the package so you don’t have to immediately wash the one you’re using before you reuse it you can just simply use one of the other two, this was a brilliant idea." —Roxanne C

"These are nice silicone liners. They fit our 5.8-quart Cosori air fryer perfectly. They’re easy to clean and can be washed in the dishwasher. They also make cleanup of the air fryer easier. They’re perforated, so you can still make food crispy." —Terry R. Nye

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $10.17+ (available in seven additional styles).

BTW, there are round versions available for $12.97!

Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

Get it on Amazon for $14.99.

P.S. You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $11.99 too.

Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands-down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tool for assembly. A great buy!" —KatieLee333

Get it from Amazon for $25.05+ (available in seven sizing options).

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" —Elizabeth L. Blackwell

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in seven colors).

Promising reviews: "I can't imagine not having this now. I just feel so much fresher after using it. It looks nice and is well worth the money. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone." —Sharon L

Get it from Amazon for $109+ (available in two sizes and in two colors) or straight from Tushy for $129+ (available in three sizes and in eight colors).

Promising review: "I bought this based on other reviews. There are cheaper products you can buy, but this one is quality. You get what you pay for. I was skeptical because it comes in a small box, and when you unwrap it the foam is compressed, and it looks like garbage. However, after you take the time to fluff it up and let the foam expand, it is amazing. Don't be fooled! I am actually using it as I write this review. A+ product." —Meghan R.

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and in gray and navy).

Promising review: "This mixing bowl invention is genius. Bread making always makes such a mess, but with the Lekue Silicone Bread Maker, I can mix, proof, and bake all in one bowl. It was a big advantage for proofing wetter dough like crusty artisan or sourdough because transferring that wetter dough out of the proofing container without degassing it was always a challenge. Being able to do everything in one container is extremely helpful. Also, by having the Lekue wrap around the bread during baking helps to trap some steam for those desirable holes in artisan bread." —Keek

These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.

Promising review: "I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty looking...but I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." —Christine Doan

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99.

Promising review: "I bought this after reading one of those BuzzFeed lists of like '27 products reviewers swear by' or whatever. The reviews and before/after pics had me curious, but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn’t set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I’m amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains but that’s my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle you will not be disappointed!" —LMK32294

Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and in several pack options).

Promising review: "I had a stainless-steel knife that was driving me nuts. No mater what I did, I could not sharpen it. I used sandpaper, whetstone, diamond rods, bastard file, and none of that worked. Then I got this device, and in 10 minutes of work, I had one of the sharpest knives in my collection. It's now so sharp, it's scary." —komboa

Get it from Amazon for $10.07.

Promising review: "One of those items I didn’t know I needed until I had it. As a busy mom of two little ones, I can’t even remember the last time I got to finish a hot cup of coffee. Until now! This truly kept my coffee warm for literal hours. And I love the wood grain look of it. It’s nice and doesn’t look cheap at all. I’m going to keep it on my desk for when I’m working, and I’ll never go without hot coffee again!" —ADR80

Get it from Amazon for $21.79+ (available in eight colors).

You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.

Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn

Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in ten styles).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink thanks to this. If there's anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and in four colors).

Promising reviews: "Me, my husband and my cats all are absolutely obsessed with this blanket it’s seriously an incredible purchase and a big-time nap influencer. I don’t like spending big bucks on a throw blanket but this is worth every red cent. 1,000% I would order this again." —Kate Sharp

"It's a soft, cozy throw that's just the right size and warmth for a good snuggle. I'd definitely recommend this awesome find! 🥰" —🌟 Bree 🌟

Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "This is the softest thing I have ever put on! It is perfect for lazy nights in eating ice cream in bed or even sitting on your porch on a cool morning drinking coffee! I am in college and you bet your butt I’m wearing this to class in the winter! I’m obsessed and will be gifting these to all my friends this Christmas! Amazing for the price too, totally worth it!" —Caroline Dudley

"Are you a large person who’s always cold? LOOK NO FURTHER, my fellow giants. I am 6' and this blessed cloth of heavenly fluff nearly hits my knees!!

Wad-Free is a small biz that launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads.

Promising review: "Honestly, I had my doubts! But, BuzzFeed kept showing me this product. And, washing and drying sheets was an annoyance: the sheets would take over the washing machine and get tangled in the dryer, causing EVERYTHING in that load to take forever to dry. No longer. I used these for the first time yesterday and ZERO tangles. The load dried in normal time. AND I get to support a woman-owned business?!?! Perfect." —Michelle Williams

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).

Get it from Stem Bear on Etsy for $40.02 (available in dark and light wood).

Promising review: "This made a corner with lots of cords, much more appealing! We were able to stuff al those cords inside and hide them away! Box is cute too!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I agonized over buying a bar cart for my new apartment. I researched online EVERYWHERE and there were so many options that were either ugly, sold out, expensive, or didn't have any practical storage. As someone who lives in a small NYC-area apartment, having some storage (and getting wineglasses and alcohol off my countertops truly makes a huge difference) it was important to me to find the right buy at the right budget. This is one of the nicer and cheaper solutions I found. I think the round edges make this bar cart look unique and elegant while also not taking up too much room. I love the handles and the fact it can roll around if I ever needed it to and it also stores quite a bit, especially with the hanging glasses rack. I put it together myself and only had a bit of difficulty making screws line up with the predrilled holes but overall it was pretty easy to put together by myself. I love this bar cart and its one of my favorite purchases for my new apartment! Highly recommend." —Michele Reynolds

Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

Promising review: "These baking mats are absolutely fantastic. The quality is superb, and SUCH a good price. I use them for just about everything I put in the oven: oven pizzas, cookies, you name it! I also love that besides food sliding easily off the nonstick surface, they help protect all my baking sheets and such. It’s also super handy to just throw them in the top shelf of the dishwasher or even just wipe clean. Update: I’ve had these mats and used them almost daily for nearly a year now. They still look brand new and I have had no problems with staining, melting, or wear. When using them, I cook most items at 375 degrees but have used them at up to 425 degrees several times with no issues so far. These things are fantastic and have paid for themselves many times over in the superior nonstick surface, ease of cleanup, and the cost of parchment paper and or/aluminum foil I used prior to discovering these." —Jezzhani

Get it from Amazon for $15.26+ (available in sets of two, three, and four).

Reviewers say this essential oil diffuser is comparable to the cult-favorite Vitruvi diffuser (you know the one you see all over Instagram?) that's priced at $123. If you're new to essential oils and not sure you want to make the splurge, this diffuser from ViviTest is a great option.

Don't forget your essential oils! Here's a top-rated pack of six for only $9.98.

Promising reviews: "I’m amazed by how effective it is! I mean, the sinus issues I’ve been waking up with lately were not an issue this morning. And I’ve had it on today (I bought it for my bedroom) but I can smell the oils on the entire second floor of my house! Crazy how powerful it is for such a small diffuser!" —Amber Lock- The dot com Review Mom

"I bought this diffuser and the Vitruvi diffuser, which is more than double the price and looks very similar. I've used them both in different rooms for a few weeks. I can not tell any difference at all whatsoever... This one looks and works just as well, if not better! I bought the 250-mL version so I'm not filling it as often. (The more expensive one only holds 90 ml) I highly recommend this diffuser and plan to buy two more for my home!" —B

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in black and white and in two sizes).

Promising review: "If you need to Marie Kondo your closet, this is really useful and it looks really nice. I got the grey ones. Bought two to see how they were. Perfect. Bought six more. Loving it!!! Really recommended this product, ready to install and very sturdy." —Nicolò R.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $21.99.

Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.

Promising review: "I give 5 stars for this hat organizer! I wish I discovered this product sooner. It is VERY easy to add onto a hanger. Simply open the flap, slip it over the hanger and reattach the Velcro. The Velcro strip is wide and sturdy to prevent the entire thing from coming undone. Even after adding weight from the hats, the Velcro didn’t even budge. Overall the product is sewn well and appears like it does in the pictures. The clips are sturdy and can grasp thinner hats just as well as thick hats. This would be useful for other items like belts, hair accessories, and scarfs too!!" —Tracy

Get it from Amazon for $6.39+ (available in seven colors and four-packs).

It's also dishwasher safe (top rack only!) so cleanup is super simple.

Promising reviews: "Great purchase — believe the hype! Makes chopping up veggies super quick!" —Amalia

"This is great for cutting lots of veggies super fast. All you have to do is rough chop down your veggies toss them in and give it four to five pulls for perfectly diced chunks for salsa or toppings on eggs or tacos. It comes with a handy cover, too, so all you have to do is rinse the blade and toss the container in the fridge or cooler." —Kevin B.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I live a pretty active life. I cycle to get around. I walk everywhere I don't cycle, and from work, to the gym, to dancing all while living in South Florida. Sweat is almost always a constant and smelly smells aren't too far behind. Tide is never a debate with me, even when money is tight. It's always worth the extra pennies and no brand has ever gotten my clothes as clean. With these Febreze Sport Pods, everything from my running shorts to sweat soaked socks come out clean AND smelling fresh! I refuse to use anything else on my clothes :)" —Amazon reviewer

Get them from Amazon for $21.49.

Promising review: "This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." —khrystyne torres

Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in six styles).

You get five strip orange peelers, five round citrus peelers, five mouse shaped peelers, and one opener gift.

Promising review: "Love oranges but hate getting the peel under your fingernails when you try to get the peel started? You will love these peelers! They are wonderful for starting the peel and slices the skin of an orange, making it extremely easy to peel your oranges. I like the long peeler, while my seven year-old daughter likes the one with the single hole." —frankfromnj

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

Promising review: "Great for organizing. Bins are clear so you could easily see what you have and what you need. These are perfect addition for my refrigerator to keep items organized and within reach. They are sturdy and will last long time. Very easy to clean. Will recommend this." —Deepika

Promising review: "If you’re having doubts about this blender, DON'T! It’s small and compact, the cord wraps around the bottom, which is nice! And most of all it blends amazingly! Just press the button and it starts, it’s not loud at all either, a lot quieter than the bigger ones. Easy to clean as well. Blends frozen food great! I had no problems making my smoothie with protein powder and multiple fruits as well...There's nothing caked up at the bottom or in the blades after I used it. Very happy overall and the color is pretty as well. Great buy especially if you have a small kitchen and just need a personal blender for smoothies etc." —Kim

YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions.

Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes which I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "These things are magic. Along with my insulated bottles, I’ve had fantastic results cleaning coffee pots, kettles, the sink, coffee cups… I use more tablets for larger projects. My stepmom was shocked when I made her old stained coffee pot look like new by throwing in a few tablets. Just make sure you give everything a good rinse as the foam can cling to the rim of whatever you’re cleaning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —SArnold

Get a pack from Amazon for $8.

Promising review: "Works like a charm. I measured before I ordered to make sure it would fit. What impresses me most is the ability to cut the plastic wrap easily without wrinkling it up. This gadget definitely makes life a little easier in the kitchen. Just know, only holds regular size rolls, not extra long so have to find the right parchment paper roll." —D. Hattenbach

Get it from Amanda for $59.99.

Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key

"I was a little skeptical that a pillow case could make much of a difference with my hair, but I recently bleached my hair at home and fried it slightly, so I bought these as part of a multi-pronged plan to heal it. I woke up this morning after using them for the first time and my hair is legit less frizzy. Not just not more frizzy, but less frizzy than when I went to sleep. I'm blown away. I just ordered three more sets." —Anne Allen

Promising review: "Cute, sturdy kitchenware. Firstly, I love the vibrant green color of this cooking pot. Most of the kitchenware are silver or black color, and this one just stands out in the kitchen, adding artsy feeling in my kitchen. Secondly, this cooking pot is very sturdy and easy to use. There’s a note card of daily maintenance instructions of the pot; as long as you follow the instruction, there’s no issue with fast weariness. Just love this cutie! Highly recommend." —Alicia

YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions.

Promising review: "This is ahhh-mazing. Our glass pot lids used to splay across the shelf in the cabinet, and you had to carefully balance them when putting clean ones back. I was worried one would fall and break someday. You also had to move most of them to get the one lid you needed. With this, we gained storage space and peace of mind. I cannot believe we lived so long without this. I need more things from this company!" —Amazon Customer

It also features an auto-shutoff function! It can boil up to six eggs at a time, poach up to two eggs at a time, or make an omelet! There's a poaching tray, omelet tray, a six-egg holder tray, a measuring cup, a recipe book, and access to a recipe database. All nonelectric parts are dishwasher-safe!

BuzzFeed's own Samantha Wieder absolutely loves this egg cooker:

"I love cooking, I really do, but there are two very inconvenient times that my cooking laziness strikes, and that is first thing in the morning when I wake up, and at the end of the day when it's time for dinner. Thankfully, in the morning, I now have this rapid egg cooker which allows me to make soft-, medium-, or hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or an omelet, all without having to stand over the stove.

It's also a great way to whip up a high protein snack during the day when you're busy with work, school, or just in the middle of a very important Netflix binge. The egg maker will let out a sound when your eggs are cooked, and then all you have to do is enjoy them!"

Promising review: "I didn't believe the hype until I bought it for myself. My boiled eggs come out perfect EVERY TIME. Trust me this is not one of those kitchen products you buy to make life easier that just ends up sitting on top of the cabinet collecting dust. If you are a deviled egg / hard boiled egg / omelet lover, YOU NEED THIS." —M. Brown

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this little rubber strainer, but I needed something to save my drains from the piles of hair that fall out of my head. This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don't think a single hair slipped by it. It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn't clogging my drain. Cleanup is super easy, too. I just took a tissue and wiped it from top to bottom, grabbing all the hair as the soft rubber strainer released it all easily. Not a hair was caught in it. Best strainer I've ever had." —Lawyer For Justice

The glass is nice and thick, and if you are clumsy, no worries, hasn’t broken yet even though I drop it all the time! Nice deep sections allow for a LOT of food!" —Danielle

If you don't need the cutting board itself, the color-coded cutting mats are sold on their own too! A pack of seven flexible cutting mats are available for $13.59.

Promising review: "LOVE! I absolutely love this cutting board with sleeves. I didn't realize how much time it saves me as I prep for meals. It's so easy to do your cutting and swap out the sleeve and continue on prepping the meal. I don't have to swap and clean the cutting board in-between prepping. A sleeve for all your needs comes included. There is also the small dip around the edges of the cutting board to prevent liquids from spilling down and over the side. The sleeve DOES NOT slip. It sticks very well and I'm confident cutting and chopping even the smallest pieces." —Weezer

Get it from Amazon for $34.99.

Promising review: "I don't know why it took me so long to buy this thing, but I'm glad that I finally did. Yes, to some it might be silly, but there are times when I forget or can't tell whether my dishes and glassware are clean. This $3 magnetic sign saves me from washing the 'dirty' dishes another time." —Colmac

Promising review: "This draft stopper is exactly what I need. An added, unexpected, bonus is that it not only keeps drafts at bay, but there is also much less noise leaking into the room. I wanted a draft stopper that would stay in place and not need constant adjusting. Mission accomplished! I also like that the foam baffles can be removed so the casing can be washed. A VERY successful, satisfactory purchase." —djc
