Promising review: "Love this tank top!! It's pretty much true to size, but because it's ribbed, sometimes I size up. It'll shrink slightly when you wash it. It is a smart tank — not your regular one — I feel like it just looks better and looks like it's better quality. Love it!!!! The color selection is awesome too — the beige, the pink, etc. Oh, and it's not at all see-through, so don't worry about buying the light colors." —anonymous Get it from Banana Republic Factory for $12+ (originally $30; available in 10 styles) — and see all Banana Republic Factory deals here. This is designed to work with your fave floor cleaner solution. Promising review: "We have four cats, a dog, three long-haired women, and zero carpeting in our house — the dust bunnies and hair balls get out of control!! I purchased one of these to try it out. I LOVE it!!! The charge lasts long enough for me to clean three stories. I usually empty the collection container after each floor. Also, the disposable mop pads are inexpensive, but I purchased a set of reusable ones on Amazon and use those instead. Absolutely recommend for daily maintenance cleaning!!!" —Shibboleth Get it from Amazon for $59 (originally $99.99; available in four other styles) — and see all Shark deals here. Promising review: "Why drop a small fortune on Paula’s Choice when this bad boy exists? Same salicylic acid magic, same pore-clearing powers, but without the guilt of an empty wallet. The texture? Lightweight and no sticky residue — it just glides on and gets to work. It’s like a little superhero for blackheads and breakouts. And no, it doesn’t smell like you’re dunking your face in chemicals (bless). Skin feels smooth, pores look tighter, and it keeps your T-zone from turning into an oil slick. Honestly, the only thing missing is the fancy name, but who cares when your skin is thriving? Bottom line: Affordable, effective, and doesn’t make your face cry. Paula who?" —Sunny Get it from Amazon for $12.63 (originally $18.99) — and see all the Naturium deals here. Promising review: "Article never disappoints! The loveseat is more like a couch than a traditional sized love seat. Very roomy and comfortable. Really beautiful outdoor furniture." —Lauren S. Get it from Article for $969 (originally $1,299; also available in sets with chairs or an ottoman) — and see all Article deals here. The kit includes the drill/driver, a battery, and a charger. Promising review: "Love this drill. It is perfect for me. I wasn't really expecting the power to drive 3-inch deck screws into treated wood, but it didn't seem to be laboring at all when I replaced some boards on my boat dock. It is perfectly balanced and feels like an extension of my hand. I do a lot of small jobs and bought it so I didn't have to fight the weight of my drill while assembling picture frames or hanging blinds, etc.. This is where it outshines any other drill selection, yet it has enough power to be my main drill for DIY projects. I am a 73-year-old woman and can't wait to use my new toy again!" —heartspun Get it from Home Depot for $99 (originally $179) — and see all Home Depot deals here. Promising review: "I struggled to get rid of cracked heels for 40 years. I tried absolutely everything. I have very dry skin and suffer from atopic dermatitis. I have been using this cream every evening after my shower for four months now, and I have finally said goodbye to all my cracks. My heels haven't looked this good since I was a child. Although my pedicurist (medical) suggests using the cream every other day, I continue to use it daily, and I am completely satisfied with the results. There is one downside: the cream gets used up quickly, but since it’s inexpensive, I just buy several at a time." —Esther G. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.39 (originally $14.99; also available individually and in a three-pack). Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Helps me see how active I am throughout the day and how many calories I burn. A good reminder to be mindful about what I consume in a day versus how much exercise I’m getting. Very beneficial, highly recommended." —Jackie Get it from Amazon for $85.45+ (originally $159.95; available in three colors) — and see all FitBit deals here. It includes a brush head, scraper, nozzle, a 6.6 foot steaming hose, cleaning cloth, gloves, and more! Promising review: "This is very powerful so you need to also be careful with it! I started a daycare and wanted something that I could use that wouldn't leave chemical residue where the children would be touching, and it's amazing. I have cleaned a windowsill, gunk off the bathroom sink, door knobs, etc. I love it and have had it for a couple of months. It's been durable for me and it gets HOT. It comes with gloves to help you not burn yourself. There hasn't been any leaking from me besides when you turn it off, it may drop a little. I recommend having a rag but it's been great! Works for me!" —Andrew Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (originally $99.99; available in green and orange). Promising review: "The BedJet was on my radar for years as I searched for solutions to sleeping hot due to perimenopause. I wrote it off as a gimmick since I didn't see how it could be any better than a fan. Now I've been using my BedJet for almost a year, and I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to order it sooner. The experience, paired with the cloud sheet, is completely unlike a fan, more like being evenly enveloped in a gentle, crisp, refreshing breeze. I owe my sleep and my [peace] to this device. I no longer dread going to bed in the summer." —Maggie Get it from BedJet for $498 (originally $699) — and see all BedJet deals here. These can connect by Bluetooth to multiple devices at once, and even include an audio cable if you prefer wired connection. Promising review: "I should have done this sooner. These are exceptionally good at blocking noise. I work in an open office and I'm very distractible due to ADHD. It's astonishing to me, when I change the mode to Quiet in the app, I can't hear the A/C or other people chattering at all. I had to switch back and forth multiple times because I didn't believe my ears. They are perfect for listening to webinars. They are also very attractive. I love the pink color. It's an easy Bluetooth connection (including being connected to multiple devices at once) and simple app controls. As far as music, I am very impressed with the sound quality. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I am buying a purple pair because I've got a LOUD kid and will need to block out the TV near my home office. I have sensory sensitivities to noise and these are the perfect solution." —Happy Sea Slug Get it from Amazon for $179+ (originally $359, some colors typically $229 at Amazon; available in 10 colors) — and see all Bose deals here. It includes a 4.5 quart stainless steel bowl, a coated flat beater, a coated dough hook, and a six-wire whip. Promising review: "For me, this mixer is as good as you can get without going total professional grade. I love that it comes in black. The parts come off easily, and I can easily keep them clean. And now, I can mix anything I want. No problem with that molasses sweetened gingerbread. The hand mixer I bought in a hurry for a meal was so loud I had to contemplate if I actually wanted to cook! The steady hum of this mixer comes nowhere close. I love the easy manner of setting up, the effectiveness of the tools, and the assortment of the tools available! If you are dreaming of this mixer sitting on your counter, don't give up! The product lives up to the dream. Gotta go now, peanut butter cookies await me in the kitchen.... I can smell them, now." —G. Thomas Get it from Amazon for $299.95 (originally $399.99; available in white and black) — and see all KitchenAid deals here. This includes a repeller, fast-charging dock, and 36 hours of DEET-free refill. Promising review: "The mosquitos in AZ have been particularly terrible the past summer, and this one is no different. I am a mosquito magnet (like 20+ bites within 10 seconds), so normally I would just stay inside this entire time and let my garden suffer, but this little device changed that entirely! I was skeptical at first, but after using it multiple times (even into dusk!) I have yet to get a bite! I just place it in the center of my gardening station and it covers the entire area with no issue! The only thing I keep needing to do is remind myself to turn it off, so to not waste the cartridges, but other than that I HIGHLY reco!" —SAG Picks Get it from Amazon for $43.98 (originally $54.99; available in three other styles and multipacks). Promising review: "Love it! I’ve looked at it for over a year, and it went on sale! Larger than I expected!" —Debbie Get it from Anthropologie for $118 (originally $198) — and see all Anthropologie deals here. Promising review: "Ninjaaaaaa I love this portable blender. It is soooo convenient and super easy to operate. The detachable cup makes it easy for me to drink, capacity is right on time, and she doesn’t leak when flipped. It takes no time to make a smoothie, it’s durable and not heavy at all which makes it easy to carry when the base is connected. She fits my cup holder too. You did your thang with this one Ninja! I need all of the colors. 😆" —MINA Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (originally $99.99; available in 11 colors) — and see all Ninja deals here. Promising review: "I have used other products for after-sunning in the past. This stuff is AMAZING, and I wish I could be a spokesperson for it. I am extremely fair-skinned and used this on my vacation at the beach. I used some SPF, which always leaves me slightly red. I put this on every night, and the redness was gone by morning! I was ready to hit the sun again! It doesn’t have a scent and doesn’t leave a sticky lingering feeling or weird smell either. Just moisturizing and safe for my acne-prone skin. I will buy this and use this forever!!!!" —Laura Get it from Amazon for $10.19 (originally $12.99) — and see all Blue Lizard deals here. Promising review: "Great fit, quality, and especially durability. Living in Florida and working out there is a lot of sweat, so multiple washes are necessary. Quality of material and construction of the item is very important for daily wash and wear. This item maintained its structure, shape and color. Everything you look for in a product." —Mouthy Get it from Dick's Sporting Goods for $16.99+ (originally $48; available in women's sizes XXS–3X and 32 colors) — and see all Dick's Sporting Good deals here. Promising review: "Great cooler! Works so well and is SO CUTE! We brought it to the beach and it kept our drinks cool the whole day. The handle makes it easy and comfortable to carry because it is rounded and it has side handles, too. It fits lots of drinks — great for beach days." —Natalie A. Get it from Igloo for $49.99 (originally $65.99; available in three colors) — and see all Igloo deals here. Promising review: "Over the past decade, I’ve noticed the material in almost all garments has become thinner, so I was surprised to find these underwear are made of a thicker material than I expected. They feel much more premium than expected for the price, soft and stretchy, and the coverage is perfect. The underwear stays put, even when working out. The original pairs I purchased six months ago still look brand new, no puckered elastic or saggy parts. I can’t remember the last time I bought a brand of underwear more than once before these, and I keep reaching for these over anything else in my drawer, so I’m tossing everything else and replacing them with more Molasus underwear." —AD Get a pack of five from Amazon for $20.53 (originally $25.99; available in women's sizes S–5XL and nine color packs) — and see all Molasus deals here. This also self-cleans and has a dual-compartment system that keeps dirty water separate from clean water. Promising review: "My wife loves this for behind pet (or grandkids) spot cleaning. We have a large carpet cleaner, but it is much more cumbersome to drag out and set it up for a 2' X 2' spot. I say this because I had a hard time envisioning this being needed to help when you own a larger model. It just is. A quick clean of the discharge water, and it can sit until you next need it with a load of fresh water and soap. Just grab, go, and plug it in, can't think of it being any easier. So far it is holding up great on the quality side. This is a perfect example of; you don't know what you need until you have one." —Caseymac Get it from Amazon for $119.99 (originally $149.99; available in three other styles) — and see all Bissell deals here. Promising review: "It's as much a piece of art as it is a storage unit. I have several other pieces in the "Line" collection and it matches perfectly. Great craftsmanship and high quality material. Just what I would expect from DWR." —Gary Get it from DWR for $1,5360+ (originally $2,195; available in three sizes and three colors) — and see all DWR deals here. Promising review: "I was running out of space to store my blankets and I wasn’t going to part with any of them. This was the wonderful solution to the problem. The hardest part was getting the blankets into the bags, but once they were compressed, I was shocked as to the room it saved me. The large size was made just for my large comforter, quality is superb. I loved seeing how fast the compression was. I have even compressed my Christmas and Halloween yard blow-up decorations, what a space saver. The zipper was a little difficult, but once you figure it out it's ok. I am always on the lookout for to see what I can compress next. 👍" —Ruben Arellano Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $17.79 (originally $24.99; available in five sizes and various multi-packs) — and see all Cozy Essentials deals here.
