Promising review: "I've been using both for about 3.5 months now. They keep a clear concise signal and always work when I need them. Setup was easy and the directions are clear. They are a little on the big side as they fit the outlet but they work really well. I have both Kasa and WeMo and personally, I like the Kasa brand better because of the app, easy setup, and connection that's reliable. I also have the Kasa light switches and they update them frequently so they always work well. Never had any issues with Kasa. I'm thankful and appreciative cuz who has time for that. They work well for anything with a manual switch that can be left on and plugged back in without you have to use the switch to turn it on again. I have lamps in all my rooms and fans in the summer to use them with. They work great for Chrismas lights and inside the chicken coup to turn on the heat lamps on a schedule or remotely. I will eventually find more uses, I'm sure. I will be buying at least three more thanks to the quality and price." —ya think

It connects with a USB cable. Just close the lid after putting your items in the box, a green light flashes while it disinfects, and in three to five minutes it's all done.

Promising review: "I'm so glad I finally bought one of these boxes! I've been looking at so many of them since I saw one on TV a few months back, but couldn't find one that would fit my phone. I have a Samsung S20 Ultra and it fits GREAT in this box! I love how deep the sanitizer box is so I can toss my keys, headphones, or even my glasses in there and still close it for sanitization." —gsgwdisnerd

Promising review: "I love this little gadget. I’m so tired of wasting my money on throw away things like lighters and I wanted a more sustainable product to reduce the waste I produce. I don’t know how hot this gets, I’m not going to touch the little spark it produces but it lights my candles and fires without me having to get too close to the flame and burning myself. The charge lasts pretty long and it charges really fast. The blue lights indicate how much charge is remaining making it easy to tell if it needs a charge or not. Portable and the flexible tip makes it easy to get into some of those bigger candles that you can’t reach." —Sara Ursitti

They have four modes — quick flash, steady light, slow flash, pulsating light. The led string lights have a total length of 29 feet with 12 inches spacing between each light. Each LED bulb is only one watt which helps conserve electricity while still giving out cozy illumination. The bulbs will also stay cool to touch after hours of use.

Promising review: "These are very nice solar string lights. They do a great job! We had overcast all day and they still lit up brightly at night, but only for about two to three hours. On days there is heavy sun, they stay on for hours. I love that they are shatterproof and weatherproof, also! So far, I'm quite pleased!! I keep them on steady mode, but it is great having the other options available as well." —Amazon Customer

Price: $34.99

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but these deserve a shoutout. SO much more substantial than Handiwipes and you can really, really scrub with them but they never feel yucky like a sponge does. I have soaked them in bleach, thrown them in the washer, and they come out great every time. I've used the same two for a month now and they still look great! When they go downhill, I can compost them. I only wish they had a few other colors, maybe a royal blue or sage green?" —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.95 (for a pack of 10, available in 10 colors)

They also put this tape through temperature tests of -40 degrees Fahrenheit and +140 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity tests to make sure it works wherever you live.

Promising review: "Best double-sided tape ever! I have used quite a few brands over the years with mixed results. This tape has the two most important qualities that you need in this type of tape. 1) It sticks well and stays stuck. 2) Easy to peel off the vinyl protective with a light slice of a razor knife. Hint: never try to peel protective from the end of the tape. A small slice about an inch in will get it done without blood loss." —Maxoom

Price: $8.97

Promising review: "Why didn't I know about this sooner? Makes pretty much every sink related chore SO much easier. Being able to have items at counter height in the sink makes it so much easier to fill and lift a large pot of water, wash a large pot or other object. No more putting 'whatever' in the sink then having to lift it back out again. So much easier on the back. Then it rolls up and tucks neatly into a drawer. Great product. Highly recommend." —Therese

Price: $12.89+ (available in five sizes)

Comes with four oven rack shields and two oven mini mitts. They're made of 100% food-grade silicone and are BPA free. To clean, just throw them in the dishwasher. They're also heat-resistant and oven-safe up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).

Promising review: "The guards can be trimmed to the correct length. I installed them by sliding from one side. They become warm to the touch but prevent burns from a brief bump against the metal rack. Having these 20 years ago would have prevented a couple of scars!" —Kindle Customer

Price: $9.99 (available in two colors)

It also vacuums for up to 100 minutes on hardwood floors with consistent, powerful suction at a volume no louder than an operating microwave. It comes with a remote control (two AAA batteries included), charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, four side brushes, five cable ties, a welcome guide, and a 12-month warranty.

Promising review: "The Eufy comes in at half the cost of the four-year-old Roomba that we previously used — out of the box, after a full night's charge, it worked flawlessly. The remote is easy to use and after a two-minute look-over of the manual, the thing just WORKS. Roomba would basically never make it back on the charger, it would push it all over our kitchen but never actually park itself correctly. The Eufy did it on the first attempt and has done it daily (unless it gets stuck somewhere) ever since. The Eufy is much slimmer than the Roomba so it is able to navigate some areas that were previously left untouched. The dust bin is always full or near full when we get home and check it, so it definitely is doing its job trying to keep up with our two large dogs and their fur." —Garrett

Works with the iPhone SE (2020), 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, Xs Max, XR, XS, X, 8, 8 Plus, AirPods, Galaxy S20 S10 S9 S8, and the Note 10 9 8.

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this company. I have several of their charging banks for when I travel, and even one that powers a thermal scope for a rifle. The build quality of this company is about perfect. Never had an issue with anything I've bought from them and they are really affordable. Got an iPhone 11 recently and wanted to go to wireless charging. Got these two for less than the cost of one Mophie brand pad. These work great and have a rubber bottom so they don't slide. If you use a larger (i.e. more watts) power adapter, it will charge faster, but I use the standard Apple phone one and it's fine." —Enginepy

Price: $11.95 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "OK so pandemic hit and no paper products to be found. I bought these because I have a full house of kids and pets and daily messes — I was very wary when I opened the box because they are just plain. Wow, was I surprised! Nope, they are not quilted and serrated and printed, and I am completely okay with it. This stuff is perfect!! It cleans up every mess and you can rip off as much as you need." —Stefanie S.

Price: $40.95 (for six rolls)

Includes an AC-powered receiver and a solar-powered sensor. The sensor uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery which will be charged by the solar panel but it can also be powered by the DC5V power adapter. They can be expanded for up to four sensors and with unlimited receivers and they can detect movement from humans, cars, and large animals. There is a sensitivity sensor that can be adjusted (high of 30 feet to a low of 20 feet.) and four unique chimes to choose from which you can match with different sensors around your property. It has a range of up to half a mile.

Promising review: "After a couple of delivery guys frightened my wife by tapping on the kitchen door at our new rural home, I knew I had to do something. So, after looking at all the options and not wishing to change batteries, I opted for this solar-powered unit. It was a few dollars more, but it seems to be a well-designed unit. And, no changing dead batteries! I had it up and running in minutes. I used the included stainless-steel screws to attach it to a utility pole near our driveway. The device is pointed across the clearing of about forty feet where our driveway comes onto the property. I had to set it on high to read across that entire distance. The device is probably no more than 150 feet from the receiver, which I put out-of-sight on top of a kitchen cabinet in the house. It works perfectly. It has already detected my wife walking out of the driveway to check our mailbox. It has also detected a car coming and going as well as my neighbor coming and going on his tractor." —The Professor

Price: $79.99 (for one sensor and one reciever)

Promising review: "This one is very easy to use. Simply fill with water and turn the switch to control the level. It is pretty quiet as well. Not bad." —Jeffrey

Promising review: "This little thing is great! Easy, fast, and makes perfect eggs. Make sure and use the provided cup to put the correct amount of water in for how you want to cook your eggs. On the bottom of the provided cup there is a small pin, use it to puncture the large end of the egg, and then place the egg in the holder with the large end up. Put on the lid and press start. Wait for the obnoxiously loud buzzer to scare the s**t out of you. Unplug the unit to get the air raid siren to stop. I waited a couple of minutes to be sure I got a hard boil then rinsed in cold water. They peeled perfectly and the yolk wasn’t dry. I noticed in many reviews that were complaints about the poaching dish or omelet dish melting. You still have to use the egg holder to raise the dishes up. Direct contact with the metal surface will melt them. Love this little appliance, maybe in future versions they improve the alarm." —b. nitram

Price: $14.99 (available in nine colors)

When choosing the weight of your blanket, it's best to go with one that is 7%-12% of your body weight for the most comfort.

Promising review: "I bought this blanket because I had heard that it can help you get to sleep faster, and keep you deeply asleep for longer. I don't know if it actually helps me to get to a deeper level of sleep, but I can say that it definitely helps me to get to sleep faster. I am a person who normally has trouble turning my brain off at night and it can really cut into my sleep time. But I have noticed that I fall asleep faster with this blanket, and I feel that I wake up more refreshed in the morning. Overall, I think this blanket is worth the money and I am very happy with it!" —Kelly Finochiaro

Price: $49.99+ (available in 13 sizes/weights and two colors).

The sign is 12" x 10.6 inches.

Promising review: "Looks awesome in my room! The light isn’t overly bright or obnoxious. Lightweight and well made." —Remy

Price: $69.99 (available in seven designs)

The lights are 9.8 feet wide by 9.8 feet long.

Promising review: "Just found these on Amazon and they're amazing. They have 10 threads and multiple modes of lights, you can adjust the speed of the flicker, and they can be used on curtains, Christmas trees, or in your patio. Love them, easy to install." —sandeep sharma

Price: $11.99+ (avalable in three colors)

Promising review: "Ohhhhh. Where to begin? I saw some aerial yoga videos on YouTube (don't laugh) and it looked great enough for me to go online and find this beautiful item. It is easily installed if you know how to find a stud and pre-drill a few holes for the anchors (which are not included so please buy separately). The material is soft and sturdy which is kind of surreal. I weigh 230lbs and was worried that this poor thing might just rip BUT it doesn't even budge. I can do great stretches and all sorts of exercises. LOVE IT. I just wish they would add a more detailed description of how to do certain poses (or possibly even offer a tutorial DVD for beginners). Anyway. YouTube has lots of great inspiration and I'll manage. Fantastic purchase!" —Mimi

Price: $58.90+ (available in 27 colors)

Promising review: "We were very excited to purchase this, we have been holding off for a couple of years. When the new 2020 model came out we decided to finally bite the bullet. It does look pretty much exactly like my brother's 2018 model. Pros: Looks good on the wall, pretty believable as a picture frame. One Connect box is pretty slick, provided you have space for it. I like that I can transfer pictures from a flash drive directly to the TV and it saves them. I like Samsungs app layout. I LOVE that I can airplay from my iPhone/Mac. It shuts off automatically if it doesn’t sense anyone in the room, seems to work well. Easy to mount. Fun browsing pictures and having a different piece of art every day. Cons: Picture washes out immediately when turning to an angle. Overall picture quality is just fine. Can’t tell the difference between this one and the 2018 model. Overall it’s a fun TV because it looks like a picture frame." —jallove7

Price: $1,442.09 (available in four frames)

Promising review: "I love this lamp. The look is very unique yet not too 'trendy' which is what I personally prefer. The fact that you can adjust the brightness and the color of the lamp is also a really great feature." —Kindle Customer
