Power Cage with Optional Lat Pull-Down Attachment
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Bottom line: The Fitness Reality 810XLT rack is an unbelievable value. (I purchased it for only $169). It is rated for 800 lbs, has good space, does not need to be bolted down and is also very stable. The 800 lbs capacity is plenty for most people ofall ages who want to do strength training.” Read More – Michael
Reusable Whiteboard Stickers
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“ LOVE the reuse factor, ease of use, durability and size (cut a couple of 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 into fourths for smaller notes). Washed them off when they lost a bit of their stickiness and they continue to attach really well to walls, computer screens, cell phone, mirrors, doors, the fridge, car dash, wherever I used to put paper stickies.” Read More – KJP
Neck Support Travel Pillow
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“My wife and I each ordered one of these neck braces at different times in the last three months. We got the same brand of Trtl Pillow neck brace. But the two braces are of different structure and therefore different characteristics. In the photos,see that they look nearly identical on the surface, with slightly different fabrics evident.” Read More – David P
Locking Key Holder
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“These are very handy little carabiner clips. I initially purchased a set of two Size #1 S-Biners as part of several different items I wanted to try out along with several other products in my search for the most suitable combination of rings and clips to organize my keys, and I’ve since added a selection of these S-Biners for various uses.” Read More – Phil in Magnolia
Silicone Resuable Storage Bag
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’ve tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren’t usually dishwasher safe. There are other silicone one that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose.” Read More – Megan A.
Auto Safety Master Opener for Cans, Bottles, and Jars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“UPDATE 2019-08-21:Regarding the issue mentioned below with it not being able to open some cans, I now believe it depends on the technique used in attaching the opener to the can. The opener needs to be horizontally level with the lid during the first turn of the knob so that it can properly “grab” the can.” Read More – Amazon Customer
SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
” Every damn day, I pull up to my garage, get out, unlock the front gate, walk down a hall, open the garage door side entrance, press the button to open the garage, walk out garage, get in car, drive forward, get out, push button to close the garage…” Read More – Bishop Brawler
Shaved Ice Maker + Slushie Machine
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I don’t know if my kids or my husband likes this more! It makes a great shaved ice with the ice straight from your freezer. All you need is the flavoring for a cool summer treat! It is loud and can make a little bit of a mess if you don’t leave a bowl under it for the melting ice but it is still a lot of fun and delicious.” Read More – Charity B.
Drain Protector for Your Tub/Shower

Dude Wipes Flushable Wipes Dispenser
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I know that it’s just a wipe, but it’s a glorious one. Much better size and scent than the other options. The worst part is the name. I know what they’re going for but it’s embarrassing having a pack of butt wipes sitting around to begin with. Add inthe name and I feel really silly.” Read More – barg

“Exactly as described. I was worried at first with all these PPE scams but these are legit. 100%.” – MrGiant
Smart Coffee Mug that Keeps Coffee Heated
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I purchased a Cauldryn Fyre when it was first released last year, but found myself using it primarily to maintain the temperature of my coffee throughout the day. When Cauldryn released this model designed specifically for coffee drinkers, I was intrigued enough by the additional coffee-focused features to give it a try.” Read More – Nick
Custom Earplug Lanyard
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’m an audio engineer who shoots, so hearing protection is a high priority for me. I have a terrible time with in ear hearing protection. Foamies just don’t stay put in my ears, and almost every ear bud I’ve ever tried just falls out. These were easy to mold, fit quite well, and are fairly comfortable.” Read More – Faramir66103
Kids Against Maturity Hilarious Family Card Game
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“If you have any sort of humor in your blood, this is the family game for you. We ordered this game before we left for spring break so we could play when we needed a break from the beach/pool.

Electric Ice Cream Maker
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This pint sized ice cream maker is just powerful enough to make 1-2 servings of ice cream at a time. With a simple recipe of 2 cups cream and one cup milk or 2 cups half and half and one cup cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3/4 cups sugar, you can pre-make and chill the base to make 3 “pints” of ice cream.” Read More – ReviewsByDeal
Panini Press + Electric Sandwich Maker Toasting
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This little sandwich maker is adorable! Color is like a minty blue matches all my other Dash products. Wished the sandwich was just a tad bit crispier but it does the job. Holds your standard slice of bread and no bigger. Fits any combination of a slice of meat and a slice of cheese on a 2 at the deli counter.” Read More – Nommysushi
UNO Project Super Starter Kit
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This is absolutely AMAZING ! I remember dismantling remote control cars as a kid, to see the wires and motors, but never being able to put everything back in working order. This set is the answer to that curiosity (answering questions like:”how does this work?”)– but now kids can build a device from the circuits up, rather than deconstruct their RC cars and other devices.” Read More – Accidentally Awesome

Bathroom Sink Drain Protector
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I can’t believe how many reviews here have the opinion of how this is gross and moldy and dirty…. CLEAN YOUR DRAINS FIRST. Buy a bottlebrush and scrub them. (you can get a bottlebrush for $1 at dollar tree) They are BLACK and DIRTY. Of course they are dirty, you spit bacteria in them when you brush your teeth, more bacteria when you wash your hands.” Read More – example

Electric Egg Cooker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork.

TV Lighting Fixture
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Selecting the correct length of lightstrip for your TV is paramount for an ideal installation. More on this topic follows below. Be aware the adhesive strip on theses lights is very strong! If your initial layout does not go all the way around, or istoo long and overlaps, trying to remove the strip so you can redo the installation can be near impossible due to the strength of the adhesive strip.” Read More – Espresso Fan

Men’s Hip Hop Premium Slim Fit Track Pants
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“For reference, I am 5’3” 150lbs and I got a medium.These are great ! They are very lightweight and the polyester/nylon blend feels like it will be moisture-wicking (I’ve yet to put these to the test, but I certainly will!). The pants have a zipper on the ankles, so you can unzip them for a flared-pants look, or keep them zipped for a slimmer look.” Read More – Leah
Magnetic Smartphone Mount for Handlebars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“The steelie vent ball kit is great for holding your smartphone in place while driving. My first kit was given to me by a niteize representative at the 2016 ISTE Conference in Denver.I did not want to add the magnet to my case so I drilled a hole in my case and attached it directly to my iPhone 6.” Read More – Thomas

Insulated Whiskey Glass and Stainless Steel Sleeve
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This is my favorite drinking glass in the house. If it’s dirty.. I’ll just assume more alcohol will kill whatever was in it and go on with my life with my favorite cup by my side. It’s heavy, separates for easy cleaning(if and when), thin glass at the rim, larger than expected, doesn’t keep drinks colder longer as much as it keeps my hands from getting cold which is the sole reason I bought it in the first place.” Read More – Morgan

⭐⭐⭐⭐
“These things are awesome!! I have the LifX Z strip behind my tv (13ft) and also behind recessed crown molding. I also have two LifX BR30 floodlights over my bar area. I can literally turn my man cave into a night club. The app connects everything flawlessly.” Read More – Will

“I LOVE this case! It was hard to find one in the bright pink. The clip is on the opposite side of the display pic but that doesn’t make a difference. It fits the AirPods perfectly.” – StacyFL
Chef Grade Titan Pan
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I purchase this product because i needed something that was diverse enough to handle my indecisive cooking nights. This pan works on my induction top, over my gas burner, in the oven AND it sears without sticking? I had to give it a shot.

The only thing I didn’t really like was the fact that I can really roll up my sleeves since they are a little tight.” Read More – Jan M.
Under Eye Collagen Patches
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“**EDIT**Yes, these patches ARE extra ‘slippy slidy’ – you probably will have no luck at keeping them in place if you aren’t lying down. But there is seriously SO MUCH extra serum, that you could pour it into a pump bottle/dropper dispenser, or soak acouple of sheet masks in it.” Read More – Princess Buttercup
Smart Outlet Plug

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This product is great . It’s easy to use, comes with varying carry cases for extra security.

Be careful that the hydrometer doesn’t just fall to the ground.” Read More – Chris
Cloth Face Mask
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I’m an educator and have been shopping around for masks that have the all-day wearing comfort needed in my setting. This mask is probably the first one that I can say is acceptable for all-day wear. It has the appropriate thickness, the option of filter inserts (2 were included in my order), and the elastic band on the back truly helps reduce the pressure on my ears from the earlopes.” Read More – Steve Dollahan
Star Projector Night Lights for Kids
⭐⭐⭐⭐
” We LOVE it!!! It has so many settings! Spinning or not, one color, two colors or three!! And up to 99 minutes. I like that there’s different options for power, batteries or just plugged in.
