This Smart Plug Helps You Live Your Best, Hands-Free Life
"I have owned several different brands of smart plugs, and this one was BY FAR the easiest to to set up. I plugged it into an outlet and within a few seconds the Alexa app on my phone recognized it as a new device, prompted me to give it a name, and I was all set! Awesomeness all around."Â -- Frederick, an Amazon Top 500 Reviewer
This Bath Mat Can Be Machine-Washed and Dried Over and Over--And Stays Fluffy
"You can’t go wrong with this grippy rug. I ordered two. One for our bathroom and one for my boys bathroom. The mat is soft, soaks up a lot of water, and really stays put. We kept the last one longer than we should have and the edges frayed and it moved around a bunch. This one is great quality for the price. I have washed it a bunch and it comes out like new. I did a lot of research before I purchased and I am happy with this choice." --Allison Rausch
These Battery-Operated Tea Lights for Instant, Flame-Free Mood Lighting
"They actually look like the real thing if you put them in a frosted glass tea holder. They flicker like real candles and stay cool all night long. I turn them on at night so they can 'burn' when the house is asleep. They've been going for eight to ten hour cycles for the past week and seem to be going strong. I bought a box of 12 along with a pack of replacement batteries. So far I've not needed to replace anything. They certainly are a great deal. And by the way, they were shipped perfectly with no defects, breaks or issues whatsoever." --Amazon Customer
This Chef's Knife Is the Bestselling Knife Under $20 on Amazon
"Was going to buy an expensive Santoku when I just stumbled across this knife. I thought, what the heck, so many people loved this knife I am going to give it a shot. The old saw of 'you get what you pay for' doesn't apply in this case. Sharp from the get go and with an occaisional touch up on a very fine whetstone it maintains a shaving edge. If this is the bottom of the Mercer line I can't imagine what the other knives are like. I know the handles get fancier but not sure about the actual blades. I love what I have and join the hundreds of reviewers who liked this knife." --Pat Caro
This Bra Bag Protects Bras in the Washing Machine
"I bought these to replace some previous bags that had not held up. These bags are great quality and have held up extremely well. They have room enough for 2 bras. The zipper is sturdy. The seams are well constructed on these, so they will not be splitting anytime soon." --Jean Ann Lopez
This Beloved Multi-Use Concealer Has 17,000+ Reviews
"Best under eye concealer ever. I am 67 years old, have tried them all and I wouldn't go out without applying this concealer. It blends nicely with my foundation and has never caked. The sponge applicator is soft and makes application quick and easy." -- Morty
This Crayola Art Case Encourages Creativity
"I buy these art sets as gifts all the time. They are reasonably priced, and are great! No more big containers of broken crayons! No more markers without caps! These sets have little spots for each and every crayon and marker, so my kids actually PUT THEM AWAY. Everything stays organized, and nothing gets lost. We've had one of these cases for over a year, and my kids play with it regularly. I'm a big fan." --Gwaliagirl
This Death Wish Coffee for Those Who Love a Strong Brew
"I'm sold. I bought this to keep me alert and focused at work. By my second cup I no longer needed a keyboard or mouse, as I was able to control my computer directly by thought. By the third cup I could hear colors and smell sounds. After my fourth cup, I decided to burn off some of the excess energy with a quick jog, and ended up finishing the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs flat! Seriously... Buy this stuff!" --Erick W.
These Nightlights Turn on Automatically in Dark Rooms
"I'm THRILLED with these. One on each end of our ranch layout home gives us plenty of light at night to be able to navigate without turning lights on. I feel like these look like expensive night lights, starting off dim and getting brighter as it gets darker out." --S. Barry
This Duvet Set Gives Your Bed a Fresh, New Look
"I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is for the price. The fabric is very soft, almost has a silky feel to it. It has snaps to open and close the cover, which is nice because I've had one with buttons that was always falling open on its own. The snaps keep this shut." --Steph
This Egg Cooker for the Easiest, Perfectly Cooked Eggs
"I bought this little genius of an egg cooker because I love hard boiled eggs and was tired of having to watch the water boil out on my forgotten eggs on the stove. I did not know whether this little egg cooker would work or not but I figured why not try it? Well, was I surprised at how great it works? If I could I would give it a ten." --John123
These Affresh Foaming Tablets Clean and Freshen the Washing Machine
"My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about. Every month now, I toss a tablet into the drum and let it work its magic. Now, my machine is cleaner than ever, and my clothes always smell wonderfully fresh. I highly recommend this to everyone." --Kelli Crawford
These Rainbow Gel Pens for Smear-Free Writing
"I am a pen snob. Left handed. Teacher. These pens have me finding excuses to write! I generally hate gel pens because I smear them so quickly when I write, but these are amazing. Also, unlike other color-ink pens, the yellow and lime green are easily legible! I highly recommend these pens! Well worth the cost." --Alli
This Electric Kettle Boils Water in Under One Minute
"Pleasantly surprised with how well this works! I was nervous about buying an electric kettle for such a low price when other products seemed to be in a higher price range. I tried this just because it was Amazons choice and it didn’t dissapoint. It’s quick & quiet although pretty basic with only one button. Once it’s done, it auto shuts off so that the water stops boiling. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for an electric kettle!" -- Amazon Customer
These Headphones Are Lightweight and Sized for Kids
"Seriously, the best headphones made for kids. We've gone through a bunch and are so happy to have found these. Best points: 1. They FIT. My 3 yr old has a pair and my 8 year old daughter has a pair. No more back seat complaining that ear buds are falling out or headbands are slipping. 2. The sound is great! One of my biggest complaints about kid headphones is that they are so quiet that my kids can't hear their movies over the road noise. No problem with these. And yes, a 3 year old and 8 year old should be able to manage their own volume. 3. They are sturdy. They are holding up to yanking. Van floor rolling. Shoving into back packs. These headphones are tough! I would reccomend them 1000 times. So glad to have finally found the perfect kid headphone." --Sharra M. Luke
This Microwave Popcorn Popper Makes Delicious, Fresh Popcorn in Under 3 Minutes
"This is a fast, effective and low cost means to prepare popcorn. I got tired of paying a premium for microwave popcorn packets at the grocery. I didn’t want another appliance on my counter to air pop either. This was the perfect solution." --RobG
This Soup Mug Is the Best Way to Heat and Serve
"I absolutely LOVE these mugs. Bought a blue one first to take soup to work for lunch. However, found myself using it at home too - for soup, chili, and to store leftovers in the fridge. I have reheated mac and cheese and casseroles as well. Works also for hot or cold beverages. Lots of room for a big beverage AND ice cubes. I have made milkshakes it them. Uses are endless." --Fran
This Wireless Mini Fan Can Be Used Anywhere
"I love this little fan. It runs for a long time on its battery, so I can easily carry it around where I need it. It is small and light, so very easy to carry around, but amazingly powerful. It swivels easily in all directions, so it is easy to aim it in just the right direction." --Amazon Customer
This Mini Multi-Tool Packs 10 Essential Tools in 4 Inches
"Affordable, rugged, and looks great. I bought this mini multi-tool to have an affordable everyday carry (EDC) tool to always have in my pocket in case I needed it. The 10 'tools' this Gerber comes with are great, but my favorite is the box cutter blade which I use almost daily now." --Gear Know-How
This No-Frills Alarm Clock Is Reliable and Easy to Operate
"This clock is wonderful. The numbers are VERY easy to see in the dark without glasses. The illumination is soft (on the low setting) and the alarm is effective yet not jarring. The best part is the little built-in light. I expected this clock to be okay, based on the reviews, but it is so MUCH better. I LOVE IT." --Grace Silver
This Ozeri Nonstick Pan Is Free From Teflon and Other Harmful Chemicals
"5 months after purchase. Do you want a non-stick pan that you will enjoy using and easy to clean? I have tried several other so called non-stick pans - all failed! The search is over. This pan performs, great size, and works! Follow the directions before using and prep by wiping the surface with a little oil oil. No experience of peeling, flaking, or food sticking. Hardy well-built pan." --Just Honest Reviews
This Pet Food Container Includes Two Compartments and a Scoop
"Very small footprint! Strong, airtight, and mobile! 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 guinea pig make for too many bags of food! This has been a perfect solution." --Jodie Hatcher
These Pyrex Measuring Cups Are a Classic for Good Reason
"I’m so glad I bought these. I’ve been a homemaker for 35 years, and I’m always needing measuring cups and varied sized containers for mixing small batches of food. These serve both purposes. The price for this set is excellent. Print is easy to read, and pouring is smooth." --Red Teapot

These Dri-Tech Socks Prevent Sweaty, Stinky Feet
"Buy these socks. They do not pill. They do not fade. They don't get holes. They don't lose their elasticity. They are warm in winter and cool in summer. I bought a pack of these a year ago for everyday use, and having worn them, well, every day, I can assure you they are still in top shape." --Daniel T.
These Sphere Ice Molds for Whiskey and Cocktails
"If you like whiskey on the rocks then you should get it. You would be surprised how many guests comment on the spheres when I bust them out. These spherical ice cube makers overall are a lot of fun. They’re pretty cheap and I really wish I purchased them a few years ago. Tip: You can get significantly clearer spheres of ice when You use boiled tap water before freezing." --Chris M
This Silicone Sport Band Fits Your Apple Watch
"Good alternative to the genuine Apple band. Love the purple color. Secures on your wrist like the genuine Apple band (other bands closures are slightly different-- which makes a huge difference, in my opinion). This band is noticeably thinner than the genuine Apple band but serves the same purpose. I'll probably buy more colors from this seller!" --Scheeters
This Sun Hat Is Universally Flattering
"Y’all! This hat is everything. Such good quality for the price. I got the white one; it’s super cute and flattering, and the brim is the perfect size to not be uncomfortable if you’re laying out on a beach chair. I want to get one in every color now! The best part is the tie inside the hat to make it fit to your head so that no wind will blow it off. Love!" --Jovie
This Wireless Bluetooth Speaker Is Unbelievably Tiny
"Everything is great. Sound A+, Design A+, Price A++++++. I haven't tested the battery life, but it says it can last 4 hours. However, you CAN charge and play, making this even better. Durability wise, it feels solid and heavier than it looks, giving it a premium feel." --Melinda A
This Touch-Activated Lamp With Adjustable Color and Brightness
"The silver band along the bottom is very sensitive to touch (as described in the product packaging) so it doesn't take much touch to turn it on or adjust to the various levels on the white light. A longer, lingering touch will activate the colors. I wanted to give just one a try before I purchased a second for my husband's side of the bed, but after the first night, he was already jealous and we were ordering a second lamp! Now both are set up and they have a nice minimalist design while providing ample light, and we especially appreciate being able to control the intensity." --Amanda
This Tactical Flashlight Is 10 Times Brighter Than Incandescent Flashlights
"I first ordered these lights a while ago and was immediately very impressed by their rugged design and EXTREME brightness unlike any other I had seen in their size. I was a firefighter/EMT for over 19 years and have used many lights, but these are far and away the best I’ve ever used!" --Bob R
This Ultra-Slim Portable Charger Is the Thinnest Model With This Much Charging Power
"Great product! Bought for a trip coming up, and since my phone dies quickly I figured I would give this a try. When it arrived, it was nicely boxed with clear instructions, as well as allows you to charge 2 electronics at a time. Came exactly as described and allows for multiple charges before needed to recharge the box itself. I would highly recommend!" --Lauren T
This Universal Remote Works With AppleTV, Roku, & Other Streaming Devices
"Holy Mother of Pearl this remote is all that my husband and I can talk about since opening it. It made our cumbersome Apple TV into an everyday use item. Plus, this turns the soundbar into our default audio, no more having to play with it everytime we turn on the TV." --RandomBvR
This Wide-Mouth Water Bottle Is Easy to Drink From & Easy to Clean
"I've tried a bunch of different water bottles and this is my favorite by far. It's simple, easy to clean, lightweight, and inexpensive. I like to keep at least 3-4 around. I wash them in the top rack of my dishwasher and they hold up very well. Good, all-purpose bottles that come in a bunch of different colors. I also like the fact that I can't taste the bottle in my water. I've had water bottles where the material appears to leech into the water. Not an issue with this bottle. Highly recommend!" --RGoody
This Wireless Charging Stand Is a Sleek and Convenient Way to Charge Your Phone
"I have purchased two of these Anker Fast Wireless chargers. I have one next to my desk and home and one in my office at work. They are perfect. They make a slight sound to let you know the phone has made contact, I can use it with my wallet case still on the phone, the phone charges fast and I can still look at it and check my next meeting or email while it's charging." --DeniseDC
This Yoga Mat Has Over 23,000 Reviews
"This exercise mat is actually pretty fantastic given its inexpensive price. I purchased this mat to use at an outdoor "boot camp" exercise group I just joined. The padding is cushy and thick enough to protect your back, knees, and other weight bearing body parts utilized when exercising." --Valerie
