I was recently influenced to purchase one of these, and I can tell you it genuinely works. I wasn't really expecting it to do much, but when I used it in my shower, I could see the water stains getting lifted immediately. The grout cleaner attachment is especially helpful for the awkward corners of my shower that I couldn't seem to reach with any other brushes. It really takes out most of the work and allows you to get a deeper clean without as much elbow grease.

Promising review: "In my kitchen especially, the detailing on my cupboards and floor molding were starting to look like they could grow a garden in them. I saw a review for this tool, took a chance, and just completed two cabinet doors in 20 minutes that would have taken me forever by hand (toothpick, toothbrush, etc.). Love it!!! I learned not to press on it; the circulating bristles don't require any pressure. Just let them do the work. Can't wait to attack the baseboards and feel clean again." —Ms.Mac

Check out a bunch of other versions of the Apple Watch (if you're looking for something a little bit different or maybe you're interested in one with cellular capabilities) here!

Promising review: "I personally have never been disappointed by any Apple products. The watch is no exception. I use it mostly as a backup for my iPhone. I don’t miss calls, email, texts or alarms. Since I am often not sure where I left my phone that is very handy. I bought the SE because it was the most reasonable priced. I’m glad I did." —Diane

Get it from Amazon for $239.99+ (available in two screen sizes, two band lengths, and three colors).

**Note: There is not a watch-charging cable included, but there is a place for the round part of the charger to go and a compartment for you to wrap up the cord to eliminate the extra cables. If you need a new watch charger, grab one here.

Promising review: "If you are looking for a 3-in-1 wireless charger, you don't have to look any further. I've had it for a little over a month now, and haven't had any issues. I keep it on my nightstand and charge my devices overnight. I like that you can turn the charging indicator light on and off as well, so sleep interruption isn't a concern for me. I actually pack this in my travel bag and use it in my hotels as well. One feature I really like is the ability for the charger to charge your phone vertically or horizontally. Sometimes I'll turn the phone horizontally and watch videos while the phone charges. This is a great option to charge your phone overnight since it can take a while longer than a corded charger. Overall, I'm happy I purchased this product." —Todd H.

Nori is a woman-owned small business based in Connecticut hoping to make your life easier with this all-in-one travel iron and steamer.

Promising review: “I am not an iron girl, but this product sold me. It is so easy to use. The Nori is portable, so I take it with me everywhere. It has helped me to look sharp at weddings and weekends away. At home, I can refresh my dresses and shirts before starting work and going out. I would highly recommend this product to everyone who might be thinking of a change. No more heavy irons and dry cleaning for me. Thank you Nori!” —Elizabeth M

Get it from Nori for $120 (available in six colors).

It works on any water bottle!

Promising review: "I finally consume more than a single sip of water every morning. Lover this reminder! I am a workaholic, don't drink more than a dixie cup full per day and end up dehydrated. This little gadget does not stop flashing until I take a drink. Love it!" —Mimi

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in five styles).

Former BuzzFeed writer Yi Yang has this and says, "I actually own and love this pocket projector. Despite its compact size, this little guy can actually project quite far (I tested it at 14 feet or so, and the image measures approximately 50 inches by 60 inches). I’ve used it to watch films and shows, and it truly feels like I have my own personal movie theater. (The darker the room, the clearer and crisper the images are, so I always use it at night with the lights out. However, blackout shades would work, too!) It can connect to a phone or computer, AND it has its own speakers (though you can connect it to an external speaker as well). For longer binge sessions, I like to have it plugged in so it doesn’t run out of juice, but it can last through a couple of 40-minute episodes unplugged just fine. The best part is once I’m done with it, it fits nicely into my drawers for storage. Easy peasy."

Promising review: "I was a little bit nervous on how well this would work, but it's awesome! Amazing sound and charges any phone with no problem. It even stays connected to my Bluetooth a pretty good distance away. Couldn't be happier with my purchase, so I bought my husband one for his office at work. His coworkers then bought their own as well 😊." —Amazon Customer

Rexipets is a Utah-based small business that specializes in products for easier, safer pet grooming.

Promising review: "This works very well for my golden retriever and husky. Both are very big dogs and scared of getting their nails trimmed. The Rexipets grinder is quiet and easy to use. I expected the battery to die and need charging after one dog, but I was able to trim them both. The great features allow me to be comfortable when taking care of my pets and that puts them at ease as well. I highly recommend!" —Robert

Promising review: "All I can say is WOW! Great value for the price. Extremely easy to install; it took me five minutes, and tools were included in the set. The door closes and locks much more securely than with a standard household handle. The fingerprint reader is user-friendly, and so is the numeric keypad. It even comes with a manual key and can program several sets of fingerprints at once. I bought this for my bedroom and couldn't be happier." —Jennifer

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed!

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black).

Promising review: "This item is one of those things I didn't think I needed (but bought anyway) but now won't ever be without! The light just sits in my purse and turns on when it's bounced or bumped. The slight is soft but effective at the same time. It is really a lifesaver if you're always feeling like you need to dump out your purse to find what you are looking for! Great gift too." —D. Leander

Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far less mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." —Josh

Check out the emergency power kit in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "I would 1000% recommend this for anyone and everyone. My dad bought me one for Christmas and it has got me out of bad situations a couple of times. I have since bought one for everyone in the family and have recommended to the rest of the extended family. It comes in handy and can help avoid being in an unsafe situation where you are stranded and someone taking advantage of the situation. Not only does it charge your car battery but you can use it to emergency charge your phone or to plug in something during a trip. This one airs up tires. Just perfect." —SA Sunshine

Check out the self-stirring mug in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "Yes, I did it. I bought the TikTok blender and don't regret it one bit. I can create any smoothie I want, from healthy to dessert shakes for the kids. So easy to use, charge and clean. It's a must-buy!!!" —Debby from Warren

Get it from Amazon for $32.98+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get 10% off this price; available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "I saw these on TikTok, and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones, I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin

"I saw this on TikTok and immediately went to amazon and put them in my cart. I've used them every night since. Seriously awesome. I was actually shocked by the sound quality. I wasn't expecting them to sound as good as they do. I only wish the lowest volume level was a *little* bit quieter. Sometimes, it can be just a little too loud. Overall 10/10, I've recommended them to all of my friends." —Lauren Pfunder

Check out the new Kindle Paperwhite in action on TikTok!

Promising review: "I LOVE Kindles, and this one is no exception. The warm light is in the pictures as yellow, but it also goes the other way to an ice blue! And the touch response is miles better than the older kindle, a tap is almost instantly registered. If you are on the fence- just try it! You have my permission and recommendation!" —ErikJuun

Get it from Amazon for $139.99.

Promising review: "You don't know it yet but you need this. A friend recommended this and I decided to try it. It works well in flight. Huge improvement in comfort and sound quality over the airlines headphones. Also used for various tours when traveling. Again far more comfortable than the typical tour listening equipment." —PJ14

ClearClick is a small business based in Orange County, California providing easy-to-use technology.

Promising review: "Recently went through 20+ VHS tapes that were boxed 12 years ago when we moved. Many are over 30 years old (weddings, birthdays, daughters events, family events and woodworking videos for equipment I still have). Got a VCR from someone in our city, purchased VHS2DVD and it's all history (literally). Put the tape in VCR, hit play, and then hit Record on the VHS2DVD app then sit back and watch the process. Flawless. I created .mpeg file on an external drive and next I'll copy them onto thumb drives and gift the family videos to family members. May burn DVDs if needed. Thanks ClearClick." —DaveG

Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble

Promising review: "My sister was constantly reheating her coffee; she’d pour it, sit down with it, take a sip, set it down and open her computer. Then minutes later she’d take another sip, get up to reheat her coffee, or ask me to do it, take a sip set it down again, go back to her computer then try to take another sip, get up to reheat it again, take a sip, set it down… well it goes on all morning. BUT not anymore. She pours her coffee, sets on the warmer and she never has to reheat it at all. I love it when a product does just what is expected of it: keeps your coffee warm." —Shashadow1

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising reviews: "I bought this for my dog: he’s a runner! If he ever gets loose, he takes off and gives us a scare. Now I can track him down with ease using my own phone and seeing him on a map. It’s such a relief to have his location easily on my phone. The attachment to his collar is also for sale on Amazon, and attaches the tag to his collar easily and comfortably. He has no idea it’s there!" —Perrie

"Love my two AirTags, one on my wallet and one on my keys.. Easily go to the 'find my' app on your iPhone and under 'things' track either item. They even make a sound so you can hear and it will guide you down to the half step of whatever you decide to use them for! Perfect!" —Josh & Sav

I have lived in my house with this system for about a year now and I honestly never thought about needing one of these since I could just control my garage with a little button, but since I've been using it, it is so helpful. If I ever want to go out without bringing my keys I know I can because I can just easily open the garage with this app. BUT, the real benefit that I would never have considered happened to me a few months ago. My husband and I were both out when we got a notification that our fire alarm was going off, obviously we both panicked and didn't know what to do. He got a call from the security company that the fire department was on the way and we knew they were going to beat us there. I soon realized that in order for them to inspect our house they would have to bust through the door. Somehow even in my absolutely chaotic panicking state, I realized I could use this app to open the garage so the fire department could get in through there. *Thankfully* it was just a false alarm, but we talked to the fire fighters after and they said in situations like these they would break down the door if they saw any credible indications of fire (which luckily we didn't have) but they did say that was incredibly helpful for them to be able to just get in without causing harm or just assuming there was nothing wrong and leaving. I was so grateful to have this device and it honestly provides so much peace of mind knowing I can open (or close) my garage from anywhere in case of an emergency or if I just realize after leaving that the door is still open.

Promising review: "Amazingly simple to setup. The video for instructions helped a lot. Actually overall setup was a breeze. I am glad that I found a cost effective solution. My high school kids sometimes forget to close the garage door and now we can check and remotely close it from the app. Finally, what a relief!" —Art P

I ~hate~ vacuuming. It is very possibly my least favorite chore, so when it came time to make my wedding registry, this was one of the items I KNEW I needed to include. It makes my life soo much easier. We have two cats who shed (and tbh I suppose my hair is part of the problem as well) and it is such a hassle to try to keep up with vacuuming when the hair accumulates so quickly. Having this little gadget has been such a time saver. We usually just turn it on when we are leaving the house and it gets to work right away. I live in a three-story townhouse so we typically empty it between each floor since we have to carry it upstairs anyway (still desperately waiting for someone to invent a robot vacuum for stairs), so I can't attest to how much it can collect at once, but we've never had any issues with it handling each floor of our house.

Promising review: "This is a great tool for a lazy person like me. I've run it every day since I got it a week ago, and it's picking up all the dirt, dust and cat hair I have neglected for ages. I still have to empty the dust collector and clean the filters, but it's nothing compared to having to drag the vacuum cleaner around the house myself! Definitely worth its price!" —Lina L. Y.

Get it from Amazon for $219.

Promising review: "Got a hairy pet? You need this! OMG, this thing works amazing! We have a mastiff, who sheds....a lot. I was sweeping, vacuuming, or dust mopping everyday, several times a day. I would have to get the big vacuum out, use the dust mop, then use the vacuum to clean the dust mop, huge pain. Now, I run the dust mop over the floor, run it in front of this beauty, and the hair is gone! So glad my husband found it and bought it for me, it truly saves so much time." —Lesli

Promising review: "Before: three remotes, one for the screen (on/off), a separate one for the sound system (volume) and of course the fire stick remote. After: just the one convenient integrated unit. No more scrambling to find the which remote to do what I want, cause it's all right there in the one unit. I wish I'd have bought one years ago cause the multi-remote tango got old real fast." —Chapman B.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99.

Promising review: "I got this for my cats for Christmas but I have one cat who is old and has to live upstairs because the other cats pick on her. I decided since she wouldn’t be participating on Christmas morning that I’d let her go ahead and check it out. She LOVES this toy. She’s been playing with it every day for three weeks. Like I said, she’s old. She doesn’t play a lot anymore. I LOVE it too because it’s easy to charge. It has different attachments so I have options to find one that is most appealing to my cat but the best part is that when she stops playing with it, after a while it goes off and then about a half an hour later it comes back on again. I’m not constantly having to turn it off and on for her. I had this on my wish list for a long time and ended up getting it on Prime Day since it was cheaper. Had I known how much my cat would love this toy, I wouldn’t have waited for a deal. I’m super excited to see what the other cats think of it. If my old cat doesn’t stop playing with it by Christmas, I will order another so she can keep it." —K Petty

These compact wireless headphones come with a charging case that provides up to 35 hours of uninterrupted listening, while the earbuds themselves will last eight hours on a single charge. They also quickly and easily pair to your phone via Bluetooth to provide quality sound with minimal lagging. Similarly to AirPods, they have smart touch control so you can play, pause, skip, answer calls, adjust the volume, and more by simply touching the earbud without having to worry about finding your phone.

Promising review: "I bought these because a friend had a pair and he always sounded crisp and clear when talking. I can admit that I'm a sound snob on a beer budget. I don't like cheap sounding knockoffs with low bass and bad battery life. But these.. OH MY! THESE! They are completely awesome! Sound quality is excellent. Battery life is out of this world! I now reach for these Tozo T10's many times over my AirPods. Hands down the best rechargeable headphones I have ever owned. You will not regret buying these! They cost a little and give quality in return!" —Jeremy

Not only can Alexa play your favorite songs, but she can turn on your lights, set timers, alarms, and reminders, tell you the weather, turn on appliances, and more. The opportunities are truly endless. If you've always wanted to have a smart home, this is your chance to start moving towards a house of the future.

Promising review: "I love this device! I was skeptical it would be helpful. I got a deal on smart plugs and paired them with Alexa🤣. Now we love playing music, cutting on lights throughout house, televisions, fans. We are old and not techy so this was a stretch for us. It’s SO easy to set up and so useful I don’t know why I waited so long or how I got along without it. You will NOT be sorry you purchased. Buy smart plugs to to add to all your outlets. Cut on lights before you get home. LOVE it!" —Tami

Echo Auto was designed for your car. It has eight microphones so your voice can be heard over whatever is playing in your car, the AC, or just road noises.

Promising review: "I have a Mazda Miata convertible with the Bose radio and sound system. I connect this little device to the auxiliary plug on my car radio, connect to my Samsung galaxy S10+ and it works great. Just as I start my car it connects to my phone and car radio. I make and receive phone calls through my radio speakers, use the navigation on my phone and directions are broadcast through my radio. I can ask Alexa for all kinds of information and even connect with my Alexa devices at home no matter where I am. Even when driving with the top down on my convertible it hears my commands and responses and with the Bose system the music is great." —Hugh

The app that the toothbrush connects to shows you how long you brushed and the amount of coverage you got/what areas could use a little more attention. The brush also has two vibration modes (normal and sensitive) and a timer to let you know when the two minutes is up.

Promising review: "I bought this toothbrush for my son for college. Thought it would be a great way to entice brushing as it has a built in rewards system with the app. What I didn't know was that my son had not been brushing properly. Within a day, the app taught my son how to get all the right angles. Make sure all his teeth were being washed for the right length of time and kept track of progress. I wish I had this when he was two. I now have purchased one for every member of the family and we get competitive. In a fun way... This product is great. I know it will save me on dental bills in the long run. Love it! —Candice Brenner

Promising review: "I am very happy with my purchase of the Rocketbook. I have it set to the side on my desk for quick scribbles, when I need to make notes. It has eliminated a bunch of messy scrap pieces of paper all over the place. The pen that came with it works great (I am fussy about that); it feels like normal pen to paper. I don't often have to save my notes, but, in the event that I do, the scan feature (I use it with Evernote or email) is awesome! When I'm done, I just spray a bit of water and wipe clean. Great organizational tool and keeps my home office neat and free of extra clutter." —KMS

I keep coming up with more uses for them, and then need to get another." —Bryce W.

"I love being able to control my lights with this product. Even when I'm not at home, I'm able to use my smartphone to turn my lights off and on without the use of a timer.

For those messes on your couch or any other place you may not be able to set this machine, there is a brush attachment so you can clean every mess, no matter the surface.

Promising review: "This worked even better than I expected! My dog had three nights of that horrible medicine/sickly induced diarrhea. I already hand scrubbed my wool entry rug and used my upright carpet cleaner (w/ pet stain tool), and I was sure I was just going to have to replace it (which was very expensive). My co-worker swore by the SpotBot, and it was better to spend a fraction of the cost as a latch ditch effort. Totally in awe of how simple and completely effective! Easy to fill up, pretty sizable tank but not heavy to carry. Literally just set it down and push the button, and it dings when it’s done. I only had to use the quick clean setting (especially on wool), and you can’t even see where the accident happened." —SW

Promising reviews: "I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "So I have been seeing this product EVERYWHERE on TikTok and to be honest I was VERY VERY skeptical about spending $20 on one plug in. HOWEVER, this has been a GODSEND.
