A stackable cutlery organizer that will *cue hallelujah music* tidy up your once nightmarish kitchen drawers and finally arrange silverware so you can open and close them with ease. Goodbye to the days of hodgepodge drawerfuls jammed with extra knives your roomie insisted would fit!
Promising review: “THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!” —oceantiff

Promising review: “You guys. The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub, the cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I was scrolling through FB as you do and came across one of those BuzzFeed lists: 20 cleaning products under $20 from Amazon you cannot live without. I am a sucker for those damn lists. But this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it, like today.” —KarynB

Promising review: “This is the second one that I have purchased because I LOVE IT! I love the fact that it is small and compact enough to either sit on my desk at home or fit in my desk at work.

A complete cooktop cleaning kit to finally get rid of those dried-on grease stains from the Bolognese sauce that overflowed from your family meal two months ago.
Promising review: “Rarely do I ever write reviews but I’m so impressed with this kit that I just had to! I have a 3-year-old Maytag gas range and never having owned one myself, I definitely slacked on keeping it pristine. Sure I would wipe it down after cooking but didn’t realize the grease that gets ‘baked’ on around the burners. Which left it looking dull and kinda gross. I pretty much lost hope that it would ever look like new again but then I bought this kit. The scraper was a miracle worker. It took off every spec of baked on anything leaving my range looking like it was just out of the box!!” —Jen G.

We just replaced our stove and my first purchase was a new set of liners. They should last for years. These were so easy to trim to fit. Very thick and nice quality. I ordered two so I could also line my toaster oven.” —Amazon Customer

Our kitty Nicki just loves the feeling it gives him, and we love the astounding amount of kitty his hair that is now in the glove and not on every surface in our home. Thank you wonderful seller. We LOVE this glove.” —Colleen5991

It has literally hung by this Command hanger for 3,000 miles now — bumpy roads, up and down hills, you name it. Everywhere we’ve gone, and neither the bottle nor the Command hanger have ever been found down. Still hanging in there like the day I stuck it. Works AWESOME!!!!

Howard Products wood polisher to wipe away years of water rings, scratches, and scuffs from surfaces you thought were beyond repair. This stuff tackles tough stains and acts as a conditioner to reveal a brighter grain and texture on your beloved furniture and floors.
Promising review: “Absolutely love this stuff! We have an older log cabin that was pretty neglected, both inside and out. Our wood floors were faded and worn. The outside logs looked dry and faded. I decided to give this a try before paying to have the floors sanded and refinished; and also outside before having the whole log home re-stained. This stuff is absolutely amazing. It soaks into the wood and really revitalizes it. In spots where the wood soaks it in quickly, a second or third treatment may be needed. I just squirted it on the floor and mopped it in with a mircofiber mop. Outside, I added it to a rag and simply wiped the logs. It’s been a week now and this is not a temporary fix like you might see with Orange Glo or others that leave a greasy, temporary finish. What an awesome buy!!!” —Frank T.

A Command sponge caddy which’ll hold the kitchen essential that helps you do your least favorite chore. This is *fantastic* for the household that simply cannot figure out how to keep their sponge dry and stench-free.
This container features drain holes and a base tray to catch any drippy mess. Plus, it is dishwasher safe and attaches via Command strips, so it won’t damage walls.
Promising review: “THIS is such a great invention! SO happy I found this! I was looking to purchase a flip down cabinet add-on to make the faux-front of the sink cabinet a usable tray for a sponge. This is actually not only immensely easier, but also better, since you can empty the water with the pull-out bottom tray. Beyond easy to install and made me a very happy customer!” —Sta So

A five-pan organizing rack to minimize noise (and mess) that’s a result of a disaster zone-esque cupboard. Place these in there so your untidy beau finally gets the hint of how to organize the utensil that makes their eggs.
It has a hole and comes with hardware to allow you to screw it into one place to keep it secure if you want!
Promising review: “This organizer works beautifully! No more cluttered cabinets! When I need a skillet, I pull one out in a matter of seconds versus digging through hazardously piled pans that my family carelessly threw back in after they were clean. I did not have any issues with any of my pans fitting in the slot, and even my extra large pan (used for sautéing large quantities of veggies) fit into the slot, but does stick out ever so slightly. The ONLY pan that does not fit into an actual slot is my deep pan skillet, the one I use for making stews. I was entirely expecting that and instead use the very top rack for it to sit on top of. So counting the top space, this rack fits UP to five skillets. You do have to put the racks together upon unboxing, but its simply putting the two pieces together and putting in two screws to tighten the two rack pieces. The product (once assembled) is VERY sturdy. There is the option to actually screw it down in your cabinets, but I have not found the need to use it. —Ally

An automatic vacuum cleaner since your household has been full for what feels like 87 years, and no one likes to take responsibility for the cereal that spills under the table every morning. This peacekeeper sucks up crumbs and pet hair from hard and soft floors with the click of a remote, so you can get on with your other household chores.
BuzzFeed Writer Marquaysa Battle saw this in action and says: “I watched this thing work in person (at my bestie’s new house full of hardwood floors) and was pleasantly surprised to find that it really picks up even the tiniest floor particles and moves easily around (and under) furniture. It’ll run on a 110-minute cycle with different cleaning modes and your preset vacuuming times. From what I’ve seen, it’s also pretty good around pets too, although that will depend on your pets’ temperament specifically. My bestie’s hyper puppy was super chill about this vacuum, surprisingly.”
Promising review: “This vacuum is so amazing! I bought it because after having a second baby, I barely have time to vacuum and have a toddler who likes to roll around on the carpet. It gets extremely messy with his snacks so I needed to vacuum every day. This vacuum saved me so much time because now I don’t need to vacuum and my toddler started to pick up his toys to clear the way for his new ‘robot friend.’ This vacuum actually picked up more dust than my original vacuum and it will dock itself when it needs to charge or when you are done with it. This is an amazing vacuum with a lower price!” —Happy Mom
