Promising review: "A neighbor let me borrow one of these lanterns during a power outage. Very bright light, despite the small size. The handles are a nice touch, and make these as good as a flashlight. That was enough for me to buy my set of four. Now I'm set when the power goes out, and it's dark. Buy these, you won't be disappointed." —Peg

Price: $15.99+ (available in two- and four-packs)

Promising review: "I bought this bag specifically to take to high school sporting events. It’s well-made and large enough to hold a small blanket, a sweatshirt, a bottle of water, and a few necessities (wallet, keys, etc.) I liked this one better than a similar one I also purchased because it has a zipper and a larger opening. And it’s a comfortable fit on my shoulder. Appears to be durable, but even if it only lasts a few seasons, it’s a great buy and affordable." —DesertNana

Price: $17.95+ (available in eight colors)

Promising review: "I feel like a superhero with these in my purse. Blood, gotcha. Wine, no prob. My kiddos mysteriously get spots on absolutely any shirt they wear, thank goodness." —Laura

Price: $8.97 (also available in multi-packs)

Promising review: "SO THANKFUL to finally find something to help me find my PHONE! LOL! I lose it at least once per day, so I put this tile on my car fob and just push the button, and my phone rings! On the flip side, if I lose my keys, I can use my phone to find them! Win-win... works beautifully." —Suzette

Price: $24.99+ (available in six colors)

Promising review: "These are the best. One and done! Drop in, scrub, and good to go. These are great for a quick clean once a week. Foam up nicely. I love these. Please make other scents, Clorox. Thank you!" —John

Price: $5.24 (also available in a six-pack)

Promising review: "This kitchen utensil is solid and heavy, not cheap plastic or pot metal. It looks and feels like it will last forever. It's a great deal for the money!" —Jeff

Price: $11.98 for a 12-blade apple slicer (also available in a smaller size)

Promising review: "If you have extra dry skin, this is the stuff to use. After just one use, I could already tell. My fingers were no longer like sandpaper! I use this just like it was lotion. The thick cream makes it all the more effective. If you use it right after your shower, that is the best time to slather yourself up with this. I was really amazed at how quickly it has turned my hands into softer skin. The cold winters are tough on my skin, and after trying this, I will always use it. I definitely recommend you give it a try." —Milliemom

Price: $19.97 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "Great robot vacuum at a great price. This is our first robot vacuum with lidar mapping and I can already tell a huge difference in how well it cleans and how quickly it gets it done vs. our old name-brand robot vacuum that just bounced around all over the place until it either got stuck on the rug or a piece of furniture, or made its way back to the base to charge even though half the floor still wasn't vacuumed. This Wyze vacuum keeps track of where it's been, remembers where not to go (if you set 'no-go zones'), never has trouble getting back to its base, and, if it's not done when the battery gets low, it goes back and picks up where it left off to finish after the battery is charged again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good robot vacuum with lidar mapping capabilities that won't break the bank!"—Cindy

Promising review: "My kids and I really like Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza! You go around the circle, and each person says an item. If the card matches what you say, everyone tries to slap the deck. The last person to slap the deck must take all the cards. There are also action cards in the deck. This game keeps you on your toes, and there will be laughing!" —Lisa

Promising review: "I bought this guy when it went to $50, and it was the best purchase decision I've made! This is my first air fryer, but it's super easy to set up, use, and clean. The eight-quart capacity can fit an entire chicken if needed, and it comes with a divider for making multiple dishes. I ended up getting two, and now my friend wants one too!" —Jasmine

Price: $99.99 for an 8-court capacity size

Promising review: "I've been using it for years for instant relief anywhere your skin is dried or cracked, especially hands and around the cuticles. I'm telling you this product has been a lifesaver! also works well for any minor cuts or scrapes, the triple antibiotic and added painkiller make all the difference with a product like this." —Jeffrey

Promising review: "SOOOO effective! Between ourselves and our adult children, we have lived in many apartments throughout the years, and Mr. Clean Sponge has been with us consistently. I have used it for over a decade, cleaning out and up walls and furniture. It's so effective that, in one apartment we lived in with matte paint walls, we did not have to touch up the paint walls or trim them when we moved out. It was like the sponge was covering up marks and painting for us. Does not leave any marks on all finishes of paint. When I have been cleaning textured walls, the texture rubs the sponge up; the sponge disappears more quickly than with flat walls. I cannot say enough good about Mr. Clean sponge; it's ingenious and a must for anyone moving or cleaning." —Pinkchux

Promising review: "Really helped our sinuses! We live in Arizona, which, for the most part, has a very dry climate. We have used our Pure Mist Humidifier every night since purchasing it. We see a great improvement in our breathing and stuffiness. It is quiet and light enough to move easily. The directional nozzle works great!" —Holly

Promising review: "I had a weird stain in my bathroom sink that looked like the foundation had sat on the porcelain for too long. But I have no idea where I came from; it just showed up one day. Anyway, I couldn't get out. I tried bleach, magic erasers, kaboom, and literally every cleaning agent I could get my hands on. I stumbled upon this, and it took the stain out in seconds. It's so good!" —Shelby

Promising review: "Overall, a good product for the price. Having a tech background, I tend to be more critical, but I will say the Deco app's setup process has vastly improved over time. If you are looking for an easy mesh system to expand your Wi-Fi range, this is a solid choice. Please note this product can be used as a standalone router and will broadcast its own SSID, which you select during setup. I bought it to increase the Wi-Fi range, and it does a good job, as shown by speed tests in areas with weak signal strength. FYI: each tower also has two Ethernet ports, which you can use to either connect devices or even connect a switch to if you need additional ports. I even have a digital phone connected to one of the wireless towers via an Ethernet cable, and the reception is great!" —Travis

Promising review: "Bought three of these for Disney. Had some torrential downpours, and these ponchos kept us dry. Great size, quality, and price. We were able to bring them home for use next year, too!" —Marianne

Promising review: "I loved that it's magnetic, I stick bills on there no problem. It's the perfect size and has a spot to hang it, if you want. Great product overall.—Stephanie

Price: $15.99+ (originally $24.99+; available in three shapes and five colors)

It features 13 different functions, including a wood saw, can opener, large blade, small blade, wire stripper, bottle opener, screwdrivers, and corkscrew.

Promising review: "Bought this knife as a replacement for a knife (which I still have), which I bought in 1959. This new Swiss Army Knife is not merely wonderful; it is of even better quality steel than the old knife, and there are certain aspects of the design that I like better. This is now my EDC." —Peter

Promising reviews: "Works right out of the box, was charged. I tested all the attachments to check the air levels, cleaned my laptop just fine, and might get away with buying duster cans, which are likely better for the environment. A good purchase overall." —DavidL

"Just used it after delivery and it works great. This car vacuum and air duster is a compact, powerful tool for quick car cleaning. Strong suction and air power helped clean tight spots in my car easily. The built-in light is a nice bonus for dark areas. Handy and effective for quick cleanups." —Kalani

Promising review: "Because I have very sensitive skin and I'm prone to sunburn and dark spots, I ordered this product based on my doctor's recommendation. I spray it on my arms and neck whenever I go out wearing short sleeves, and it really gives me peace of mind. The quality is truly impressive!" —arezoo

Promising review: "This is what magic is made of! It has removed every stain I can find on any cloth surface! It has restored the carpet to new condition after coffee stains had settled in for three weeks! It works wonders. Coffee stains are so simple for this product to remove. I'm so glad I have it!" —Zahra

Contains 30 adhesive bandages in assorted sizes, 21 sheer adhesive bandages, hand-cleansing wipes, 10 gauze all-purpose dressings, and one full-sized Neosporin antibiotic ointment.

Promising review: "I have three girls, and let's be honest, accidents happen. I think it's important to try to be prepared for them if you can. I got this kit and luckily haven't had to use it, but having it on hand makes me feel prepared." —Yvonne

Price: $10.98 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "These seat gap fillers worked GREAT! EASY to install and definitely do the trick! Terrific design makes it clear that they would fit almost any car model. We have a gap that isn't very wide, and this still fits down into it. The narrow gap makes it impossible to get your hand down the side of the seat to recover things, so the gap filler is perfect!" —SherryH

Promising review: "We are homeschoolers, and I am always trying to find toys that are more in the educational brain-teaser genre. This was recommended on many sites for top fun and educational games. This is definitely a game you don't get tired of. I love that you can grab it and go. It can be stored in your purse, jacket pocket, or bookbag. I do wish they made one that was a bigger version that was not as compact because I would buy that one to keep for in-home use." —Shelly

Price: $99+ (originally $124+; available in one-, two-, and three-packs)

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! It got hard blood stains out of my sheets, and my white pillow cases turned out VERY white and no stains! AMAZING! No need for any other stain-removing products!" —Angela

Wait, why so pricey? Well, do you know of any other bags that can survive the fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and boiling water? We'll wait.

Promising review: "Buy. Useful for anything and everything. You would be surprised how resourceful these silicone bags are." —Christina 

Price: $13.99+ (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "Beautiful, High Quality, Amazing, I love all things by Crayola!" —Natalie

Promising review: "These were a huge blessing when my kids got sick!! My little one had a chafed, bloody nose from wiping his nose with tissues. As soon as I pulled these out, everything changed! His nose cleared up within a day, and there were no more tears!" —JANELLE

Promising review: "You know how some items are worth paying extra for, and others, the generic brand is good? This is one item I pay extra for. The only good duct tape, in my opinion, is 3M Scotch. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars because it lasts a long. And just so you know, I have tried generic brands and the Gorilla brand." —Robert
