It comes with a large dice blade, small dice blade, spiral blade, and ribbon blade.

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.

Reviewers love this because it doesn't require you to "smart enable" other parts of your home. It's also a great way to turn on your kettle or coffee brewer from the other room so it's ready for you when you get out of bed! You can even connect it to your Alexa or Google Home for voice control.

Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little SwitchBot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." —Alecia McLochlin

Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in white and black).

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and thought it would be a great bottle for work. It is very sleek and lightweight enough to carry when you have other items in your hand. I love the modern look and cleans very easily! The time increments really do motivate, definitely ordering again for myself and gifts. Very nice packaging." —Rosa

It works on any water bottle and the battery life lasts for six months!

Promising review: "I finally consume more than a single sip of water every morning. Lover this reminder! I am a workaholic, don't drink more than a Dixie cup full per day and end up dehydrated. This little gadget does not stop flashing until I take a drink. Love it!" —Mimi

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in five styles).

Promising review: "Every time I travel miscellaneous items seem to gather at the bottom of my tote bag but no longer with this device. It fit perfectly in the bottom of my tote and it also fits in some of my larger purses (that were like black holes!). Being organized makes life so much easier — grab one or two of these to organize your life too!" —Michele W. Gibson

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 16 colors and six sizes).

Promising review: "Love this broom, love the dust pan. So easy to sweep up spills. I've bought them for myself, a good friend, my neighbor, and my elderly uncle. We all wondered why we haven't been using theses all along. This particular set is the best. Dustpan stands straight and doesn't keep spilling over. We all also appreciate teeth on dustpan that pulls off dust when you move broom against them." —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $21.25+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "Great nail clippers and cool leather case. My husband says the clippers make clean cuts that barely need a file to smooth. Anti-splash means no nail clippings left behind; thank goodness...like magic. The glass file is very cool for giving a little sheen to the top of the nails which makes a really clean looking manicure. Not too shiny...just nice and finished." —Susie Thomas

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99!

Promising review: "I bought this because I have a cat with a sensitive stomach and, in a house with almost all hardwood flooring, he chooses to only throw up in the room with all WHITE carpeting. The carpet had so many stains from futile clean-up attempts, I thought it was ruined. However I bought this steam cleaner, gave it a try, and the carpet looks brand new!! It was almost fun cleaning up the stains and watching them disappear in seconds. Steamer is super easy to use, very portable, and stores away nicely in my laundry cabinet. Absolutely recommend to anyone ready to give up on their stained carpet." —Carlos

Promising Review: "For someone who constantly knocks things outta my hands, this product is a lifesaver. I love not having to lose bits of food, my phone, or anything else small and slim down the crevices in my seats. I even went out of my way to buy two more sets for my friends because they are exactly like me with all sorts of stuff. 😂 This product was a hit, I’d highly recommend it to everyone!" —Grace Danyluk

Buddeez is a family-owned small business based in Missouri.

Check out a TikTok of the product in action.

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in red and white).

It works for meats cooked in the smoker, grill, rotisserie, oven, pan, and air fryer!

Promising review: "The Meater works so well, you hardly have to do anything while you cook any sort of meat. Once it alerts you the meat is ready, you remove it from any heat and when the app says you’re ready to dig in, there’s no second guessing whether or not your meat is fully cooked. No under/overcooking with this, it’s perfect EVERY time. Couldn’t be more happy with this product and app." —Pam Walter

Get it from Amazon for $99.95.

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Wad-Free is a small business established in 2020 after the founder Cyndi Bray self-taught computer-aided design to create the pads.

Promising review: "THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it, and it works as advertised! It’s a little on the expensive side IMO, and that’s kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." —StrangerThings

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.

Promising review: "My boyfriend can’t cut bagels. He literally butchers these poor baby bagels all up. I saw this on a TikTok and I was like oh we need that. So I bought it. And it was a good investment. Now we can enjoy nicely sliced bagels that fit in a toaster and aren’t jagged across. Yay bagel slicer!" —Ci DiPalma

Get it from Amazon for $19.30+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February, and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY...SINGLE...NIGHT. To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." —TinkerbellAPixie

Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action.

Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics.

Promising review: "I take my lunch to work and midday I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." —ViciousCycle

Drill Brush is a small business based in New York — its founder is a former electrician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.

It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!

Check out the drill brush on TikTok!

Promising review: "Listen, the drill brush has been my go-to for like everything. Cleaning the vehicle carpet, getting out tough stains in carpet. You name it and I have pretty much cleaned it with my drill brush. They are still working great and holding up after hundreds of cleaning routines. It works out some of the toughest stuff but safe on suedes and carpets. I can’t say enough about this product, and I wish I had bought this sooner. There are different levels and I only have the white for upholstery types but I think I’ll be buying more. Great product to have in with your cleaning products! You won’t be disappointed." —Wojo

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in five stiffnesses).

Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly

The insert is adjustable to fit the width of the car's cup holder.

Promising review: "I bought a 32-oz water bottle and obviously it wouldn’t fit in my cup holder. So I found this product and it was super easy to install. I love not having to have my water bottle on the passenger seat to easily fall." —Jerry T.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out 'drying' for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me multiple times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri

Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in eight sizes).

Promising review: "I first saw this on TikTok and I wanted it immediately. This makes washing dishes easier and faster. All you have to do is give it a pump or two and you’re good to go. It's 5/5 stars for me." —Sal

Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I always carry one of these cups in my sling pack, backpack, or whatever I'm using on walks with my pup. We live in a warm climate so it's super important but even in cool weather, dogs need water on a long walk. These foldable cups are so handy — I pop one of them open, pour in some water from my own water bottle, shake it out when he's done and we both continue on! Great for travel as they stow so easily. An inexpensive investment for something that's so super convenient." —Andromeda

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.99 (available in 14 colors).

Promising review: "This brush is awesome!! I added some before and after photos of a potato I was scrubbing, and you can see how well the dirt comes off! Very sturdy and durable and the bristles are stiff, which is optimal for cleaning. Easy to hold and does a great job. Definitely recommend!!" —McKinley

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

Promising review: "I love this product. I took it on a recent vacation and it really is a time saver. The moisturizer bar it comes with is soo nice. I usually get a little itchy after shaving but the fact that you can rub in the excess product on the shaved area has helped with itch and ingrown hairs. Now that I'm not on vacation I use it right before I go the pool, I seriously take this thing everywhere." —Karlie Hanson

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in two colors).

Promising Review: "I use to throw my trash in the side pocket of my door and hoped that I would get rid of it at the end of the day, but that doesn’t always happen and it adds up. Getting this trash can changed the game. It holds a whole lot! I haven’t replaced the trash liner in months and it’s still not full." —Camille Q

**Note: There is not a watch-charging cable included, but there is a place for the round part of the charger to go and a compartment for you to wrap up the cord to eliminate the extra cables. If you need a new watch charger, grab one here.

Promising review: "If you are looking for a 3-in-1 wireless charger, you don't have to look any further. I've had it for a little over a month now, and haven't had any issues. I keep it on my nightstand and charge my devices overnight. I like that you can turn the charging indicator light on and off as well, so sleep interruption isn't a concern for me. I actually pack this in my travel bag and use it in my hotels as well. One feature I really like is the ability for the charger to charge your phone vertically or horizontally. Sometimes I'll turn the phone horizontally and watch videos while the phone charges. This is a great option to charge your phone overnight since it can take a while longer than a corded charger. Overall, I'm happy I purchased this product." —Todd H.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "So I have been seeing this product EVERYWHERE on TikTok and to be honest I was VERY VERY skeptical about spending $20 on one plug in. HOWEVER, this has been a GODSEND. It not only has a built in light, but I’m able to use one plug to plug in all of my business tools like my printer, thermal printer, laptop, work computer, and chargers! And because this is a surge protector, it doesn’t blow any fuses! Needless to say, I bought THREE of these guys and I’m honestly hooked. I may buy another one for my bathroom and kitchen! Lol. But seriously, it’s worth the money so I would say, RUN! Get this ASAP!" —Kristen W.

Promising review: "Most genius vase. The flowers last so much longer, because you can change the water and snip the stems, to keep bacteria from growing and killing your flowers. It’s also beautiful as a vase itself, super modern and chic." —Eliezer Labkowsky

Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." —Lina

Promising review: "My sister was constantly reheating her coffee; she’d pour it, sit down with it, take a sip, set it down and open her computer. Then minutes later she’d take another sip, get up to reheat her coffee, or ask me to do it, take a sip set it down again, go back to her computer then try to take another sip, get up to reheat it again, take a sip, set it down…well it goes on all morning. BUT not anymore. She pours her coffee, sets on the warmer and she never has to reheat it at all. I love it when a product does just what is expected of it: keeps your coffee warm." —Shashadow1

Not only can Alexa play your favorite songs, but she can turn on your lights, set timers, alarms, and reminders, tell you the weather, turn on appliances, and more. The possibilities are truly endless. If you've always wanted to have a smart home, this is your chance to start moving towards a house of the future.

Promising review: "I love this device! I was skeptical it would be helpful. I got a deal on smart plugs and paired them with Alexa🤣. Now we love playing music, cutting on lights throughout house, televisions, fans. We are old and not techy so this was a stretch for us. It’s SO easy to set up and so useful I don’t know why I waited so long or how I got along without it. You will NOT be sorry you purchased. Buy smart plugs to to add to all your outlets. Cut on lights before you get home. LOVE it!" —Tami

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "I've got about six of them, the automation with Alexa is perfect. Christmas tree, fish tank, lamps around the house, etc. They work fantastically, and I know there will be more coming into my life going forward. I keep coming up with more uses for them, and then need to get another." —Bryce W.

"I love being able to control my lights with this product. Even when I'm not at home, I'm able to use my smartphone to turn my lights off and on without the use of a timer. I feel this ability can possibly give the appearance that I'm at home due to the different intervals of turning the lights on and off." —landscapelady

Promising review: "I have always attracted pesky winged creatures…namely mosquitoes! As a kiddo I got impetigo every year from scratching their bites because we played outside all summer long! It was awful, scary, and maddening because I missed a lot of fun with my friends! As an adult, I’m still outside a lot mainly walking our dog, and I still attract mosquitoes! But these citronella bracelets are remarkable! First thing every morning I slip mine on to walk Reba and haven’t been bitten since…for real! I’ve even shared extras with friends in our building and grandkids and they are pleased as well. Definitely a must for me every day in the summer and spring!!" —Wallone

Promising review: "My outdoor time has been very limited as I get older, because mosquitoes are drawn to me and I dreaded being itchy and uncomfortable even for a short time. It sounds silly, but now I know I have what is basically a Ctrl+Z for mosquito bites. Sometimes it does take two sucks, but the relief is nearly instant and lasts a long time. For larger bites, it may eventually itch again, but you can always redo." —Rebekah Lee Hunter

Bagnet is a woman-owned small business and sells magnetic bag holders and phone slings.

Check out the Bagnet bag holder on TikTok!

Promising review: "This is the best bag holder ever! I was completely blown away, the magnet is SO strong. Works in so many places: in restrooms (try the hinges if the door isn't metal), at restaurants (on tables, chairs, even under the table), at the gym to hold my water bottle and keys so they don't end up on the floor. But my absolute favorite place to use it is on my car! I can attach it to the side of my car while I unlock it without having my hands full and leaving me vulnerable. If you have ever felt nervous trying to fumble with all your stuff while trying to unlock your doors in a dark parking lot, you need this! My only regret is that I didn't know about it sooner. I am going to get one for everyone in my life for Christmas. Any person who carries a bag should have one (or two). Seriously, it's life changing​." —robert rodriguez
