Simply plop the timer and the color of the timer will change to indicate how boiled the eggs are, so you know when it's time to take 'em out.

Promising review: "100% necessary? No...however, it does make one thing a little easier for me in the morning. Instead of watching the pot and waiting for the water to boil to start the timer you can just put the NobelEgg in the pot with your eggs, start the heat and just wait for your eggs to be done. Cant wait to give some as gifts!" —BaileyBoo

Promising review: "Just got this cool new gadget! So sick of never having a clip for the million bags of chips my daily opens. This sealer worked great. Heated up in like 40 seconds and sealed this chip bag in seconds, and now I don't have to find a clip! I'm sure the chips will stay fresh much longer too since it's sealed like I just bought it! Would recommend!" —Stacy0814

Promising review: "MUST HAVE. I use about twelve brushes to do a full face of makeup on the days that I am so inclined. And I wash them all every time I use them to keep them clean and make sure they don't break my skin out from getting bacteria in them from the liquid products sitting in the bristles. So this mat is a god send. It is so easy to use to get even the most stubborn of foundations out of brushes to the littlest of eyeshadow out of delicate blending brushes. I couldn't live without it." —Nicolette Valentine

Promising review: "I have a ton of indoor houseplants that I got over the fall/winter, so I wasn't using fertilizer since they were all dormant. Now that it's spring/summer I needed to purchase a fertilizer to encourage growth. I came home one day and saw one of my birds nest ferns was drooping and looked like it was dying. I ordered this fertilizer and watered/fed it the next day. These pictures are about 24 hours apart. The fertilizer perked the poor guy right back up!! This stuff is a great value, and super easy to use. So happy with my purchase, thanks for saving my plant!!!" —Melissa C

Promising review: "I love this thing! It's one of those simple ideas that you wonder why no one thought of before. I hated that utensils always fell off my traditional spoon holder. Who cooks with just one utensil? This keeps everything in place, catches the drips and cleans super easy. I have put four utensils in it with ease and it keeps the mess off the counter. I love it so much I'm buying one for my daughter." —M. Moser

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

Promising review: "Honestly, we are speechless! We are excellent about cleaning the lint trap after every load of clothes. We even clean the lint vent outside. But nothing could have prepared us for the amount of lint and gunk trapped in the vent tubing! How we have never had a fire, we have no idea. We vacuumed forever all the way up the vent tube, which we could have in no way done without this item. The suction power was unbelievable! We could not believe how bad the tubing was clogged. Just look at the picture. We removed about 3/4 of a kitchen garbage bag size of lint and gunk! It was amazing and embarrassing! It's SO inexpensive, but it could literally save you from a house fire! Anyway, just buy it. Excellent value! You won't be sorry!" —Brian Mattix/Elizabeth Bodnam

Promising review: "This is a simple, low-tech tool that keeps my tablet fired up and ready to go at my favorite spot on my couch. It stays put and is easily re-located. Solved a problem I didn't even know I had." —Elaine

Some buyers installed it on their outdoor carriage lights to power their surveillance system!

Promising review: "I bought this device because I'm lazy. I could walk to my room and put my phone on the charger, but why bother when I can charge it in the living room and not have to leave the comfort of my couch? Works great. You have to turn the light on in order to charge the phone but the device has a switch on the side so you can turn the light bulb off if you decide you don't need the lighting. My daughter uses it to charge her devices too. It's super easy to use. Nothing bad to say about the product." —Christina Morales

Promising review: "Our 6-month-old golden retriever loves it! The size is perfect, we ordered the large, and it's strong enough to to hold his weight. He also loves to dig, scratch and chew the bed and even now ( we have had it for about three weeks) there are no holes or tears in the fabric. I am very impressed!" –Amazon Customer

Promising review: " This thing is a champ. It's completely revolutionized my cheese and sausage game. The adjustable stop block is terrific; you can really speed through a block of cheese or a long summer sausage with clean and consistent cuts. I've only used it a handful of times so I can't vouch for its long-term durability, but at just over $20 you really just can't go wrong." —LeffelMania

Promising review: "Very easy to use and affordable. I was able to put on my lashes in no time. I can't believe I use to apply my lashes without this amazing tool. I place my lashes directly in the center and adjust the ends. My lashes go on in 1min it less with this tool." —CITY Beauty

My boyfriend suffers from severe allergies, so we've tried a lot of air filters. We even travel with one, and start it up when we arrive to a new location try and get the air as clean as possible. This Aeris aair Lite purifier checks all of our boxes and is a total beast. It's compact enough that we can toss it in the car and travel with it, but operates like a total champ. It's easy to boost up, but can also run on a low setting that sounds like absolute *nothing*. Sometimes I forget it's even on, which is a big deal considering we are working from home. And as someone who lives in the dusty southwest, having it be able to stay on and continuously filter out the air is huge.

I can't sit here and tell you the ~science~ of how it all works, but I do know that their filters are coated with zinc pyrithione (that has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties), which can help kill trapped bacteria and viruses. It's definitely a splurge, but if you're constantly suffering from something in the air, this is a must-have.

Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks and it is life changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85 degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my back...BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" —Frosty McGee

Icebreaker, a small business started by Danish engineer Kim Jensen, was created in Texas after Kim realized there had to be an easier way to get ice from an ice tray. He completely redesigned the tray and the Icebreaker was born!

Promising review: "This is perfect for any fridge. My fridge has the freezer on the bottom in a drawer and is not very conducive for regular ice cube trays. This one works great and makes tasteless ice. Fabulous item." —Rosemary

Promising review: "I appreciate how flexible this stand is. I can configured to use in bed whether I'm lying on my back or my side, and I also use it in the kitchen to hold the iPad when I'm cooking and using an online recipe. I particularly like the feature that lets you put the iPad into one of three different angles, and the ability to hold differently-sized devices in both landscape and portrait." —Amazon Customer

Glare Guard, the clever small business that makes this add-on visor, was started by maker Mark Smith. Mark used to work in the movie theater business, and now he and his son are helpin' drivers see better on the roads with their smart invention.

Promising review: "This is the visor I have been searching for! I have a small car, and its visor did little to help me driving into the sun, both going to and coming from work. This is a game changer! It's easy to install, and easy to flip into place." —Fran

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini golden doodle that is prissy about her paws and a standard labradoodle puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

Cords are 6 feet long and have three plugs each.

Promising review: "I have no idea why these are not sold everywhere. PERFECT for my room! I ended up getting this due to my king size bed being against a wall with only one outlet. I needed a way to connect my two lamps on my nightstand and this is absolutely, without a doubt, the very best solution to connecting my lamps and also not having all my outlets taken up. I recommend this to everyone! Also perfect for outlets connected to a switch to turn on and off both lights at the same time." —Ryan

Clove + Hallow is a woman-owned brand based out of Atlanta, GA that was created to provide high-quality, vegan products all with 15 clean ingredients or less.

Promising review: "Where do I begin?! I’m a 41-year-old woman who is recently dealing with adult acne. I have tried so many different products, paying ridiculous amounts of money and I was at the point where I’d try anything and I’m glad I gave this oil a shot. It truly is the only product that helps my acne. Not only helps with my acne but controls my oily skin. Weird, you would think putting oil on your face would make it note oily. Nope this everything oil is amazing!! My skin had never felt/looked so good. This will be my go to product from now on!" —Shannon R.

Promising review: "This has restored my belief in Santa, the Easter bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and all magic again. We search and searched for a foot powder, or treatment, or even reasonably priced hazmat suits for when our teenage son took off his shoes. Nothing we tried worked apart from making him stay outside. Until we tried this powder. It's a very mild scent when you sprinkle it in the shoe itself, instead of a heavy perfumed mask scent like all other foot powders, sprays, little scent balls etc. I honestly didn't think there was anyway it could actually stop the hazardous stench that dwelled within our teen's footwear. It was so natural-smelling, by day two of using it in said stinky teen's boots there was nothing. It's like this product neutralized the odor. It was sweet sweet freedom." —Kelli Gebauer

Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

Promising review: "Amazing! If you like heating pads during that lovely time just get it.. It says they last for 6 hours or something but I've had a few/all stay warm and comforting for over 15 hours! They are perfect." —SFMB

Promising review: "This has revolutionized my coffee routine and allows me to make lattes, like they do at Starbucks, at home. I have used it exclusively with plant-based milks (coconut, almond, etc.) and it perfectly froths non-dairy milks. I actually found that plain almond milk froths better than any other plant-based milk, for all you vegans out there. I can't tell you how much money I have saved not having to go to the coffee shop every time I want to have a delicious latte. It makes a beautiful, delicate foam that holds up for the whole cup of coffee. I love that there's still foam even in the last sip. Also, you can use this for the fancy cold foam to have with iced coffee drinks. I love this device so much! I couldn't go back to just coffee and cream after having tried the perfect lattes made by this." —Lindsey Catherine

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in 11 colors). Requires two AA batteries.

Promising review: "This thing goes everywhere with me. It makes going to the gym, zumba, and yoga so much simpler! There's no need to fight with a purse or wallet because all you need is this handy dandy water bottle." —OlyGirl

Get it from Amazon for $18.50+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I have a very heavy, large purse that is a bottomless pit. One time I put my purse on the back of my chair at a cafe and the whole chair flipped over, that is how heavy my bag is. I was looking for something so that I could hook my purse on things so it wasn't sitting on the floor and was more accessible. I love this little gadget. I have used it on everything from bathroom stalls to tables to grocery carts. This thing really grips. All of my girl friends love it and have gotten them for themselves." —Jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "So good and so affordable! I compared swatches on my arm with the primer and without and it made a huge difference! The bottom two swatches are with primer, the top two are without. The eyeshadow was so much richer when used with the primer and I needed less eyeshadow to get a good color. More than worth the money. I'm officially converted to the primer life lol." —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $5.95 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "This spackle is so handy! Much easier and faster than opening a regular container of spackle, then finding a putty knife to use and sand paper. Everything you need is right there. I filled probably close to 50 small holes and nicks from kids throwing toys, etc. in less than 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this." —Michelle Smith

Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

Promising review: "This is one of those items you didn't know you needed, and once you get it you can't help but wonder you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for multiple shower curtains. I know you’re like, ‘It's just shower curtain hooks.’ And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner, that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." —Nardsbaby

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five finishes).

Ooooohhh, the amount of times I have a hung up a picture just to take a step back and realize it is very crooked; it's too many to count.

Promising review: "While hanging shelves and frames and other wall decorations shouldn't be rocket science, I make things more complicated than they should be. Leveling is where I normally falter. With the Hang-O-Matic it becomes an exact science! It's so simple to use! I've hung over 10 items on our walls this past weekend and it was a breeze with this tool. Just measure, put the tape to the wall where you want it, ensure your tape is level, and then push the marker pins in to know where you need to put in your anchors/hooks. When you're doing it solo, this tool is absolutely priceless!" —Shameel Kumar

Promising review: "I bought this pan for my hubby because there can never be enough brownie corner pieces. This pan makes him very happy! It makes me happy because it's a sturdy, heavy duty pan. Its nonstick surface is amazing — brownies don't stick at all. Worth the $!" —L. Hart

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $49.

Promising review: "Perfect little shelf for my cluttered bathroom and better priced than similar items. I use it for my electric toothbrush, which I was continually knocking onto the bathroom floor (sometimes even into the toilet!), so I then would have to stop to clean it while I'm in a hurry to get ready for work! Glad I purchased two of them. Putting the other one in my kids' bathroom." —Cynthia R. Petrauskas

You can choose between a white or red light, with battery life lasting up to 60 hours off one charge.

Promising review: "Such a neat item! I purchased this for my husband's hunting trip and he's truly enjoyed the handiness of the light. He said it provided extra light in the dark wilderness. The light is compact and easy-to-charge. It lasted multiple days from one charge. Also, the different light modes are fun and one can even have a party with the blinking effect!" —Elena

If you get home after an exhausting day, you deserve a nice bath to relax in!

Promising review: "My husband loves baths and I purchased this mainly for him because he's a big person and every little bit of extra water depth he can get is wonderful. You can really get an extra two to three inches. The suction cups fit easily on the tub and you don't have to use much pressure at all. They stick as soon as you push a little and you can even hear a little 'click' sound as you push each one, telling you it's sealed. Our cover never 'floats off' or comes off the tub until we take it off, and when we do, it is easily removed. All in all, a great purchase!" —artsqueenbee

Get it on Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I'm amazed! We live in a prewar New York City apartment and it seemed that poor water pressure in the shower that barely extended beyond the wall was par for the course. We just installed this shower head and now the water stream extends to the other side of the tub! Looking forward to finally taking a satisfying shower after all this time." —TWNYC

Promising review: "This product works miracles. As you can see, my poor Vans became dirty, so I cleaned them and made the intelligent decision to use peroxide and put them in the sun to dry. Even with the yellowing and deep stains, this product brought them back to their bright dazzling glory and it looks decently brand new. Love it!!!! Also, this is sort of like a paint rather than an actual cleaner, so always make sure you clean your shoes then apply it." —Catherine

"A pineapple corer. I love pineapple but cutting them up is a pain. I have MS and my hands have tremors so knife work is difficult. The corer manages to cut a pineapple up in a few seconds. Generally I'm against buying a kitchen utensil that only has one purpose but the pineapple corer is the exception. It cuts the pineapple into a giant spiral and you can easily slice into smaller pieces." —tuffylrue

This great little shop sells tons of wood pieces and organizers, and is based out of Ontario, Canada.

Promising review: "I absolutely adore this piece. It came even better than described. The stain was just a bit darker than I had thought (Provincial) but that worked out perfectly for me. Really appreciated the detailed instructions and care in packaging. I will be buying more from this talented seller. Thank you!" —Jackie Sheriff
