Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I can't wait to tell people what I use on my hair. I hate going to salons. I think I'm one of the few people that has never left a salon feeling like I look better than before I arrived. It doesn't matter how much I've spent on the visit either. This product has been a lifesaver. I just look up YouTube videos and follow the instructions. I just have myself a layered A-line bob, and it's one of the best cuts I've ever had. It seems like this product would be too good to be true, but if you're patient, it's super easy to use." —Michelle H

Promising review: "This thing is freaking awesome!!! So I am NOT a barber, but I have over the years almost perfected a fade on my husband. The only thing I couldn’t do perfectly was point his sideburns, he has a very specific way that he likes it and when I tried it just fell short. I saw this product on Shark Tank again (as an update) and decided to give it a whirl for only $8 what do I have to lose right? Well I used it for the first time and he got the best haircut to date. The sideburns look great, but also I used all the angles all over his head and it made it so seamless and easy to cut all along every edge. Pics are after first use, so I feel I will get better with using it with time (I also accidentally cut his top with a 3, not a 2 so his cut will look even better next time) but I highly suggest this to anyone who cuts men’s hair be it in the home or at the barber's. I should also mention that HE is super pleased with how it looks. I can’t speak for using it on a beard yet but we are both so pleased with this product, seriously, buy it! I" —Laurie Higgins

Promising review: "We never had problems with ticks or fleas while living in the city, but six months ago we moved to the country. Our two dogs (Doberman and small pitbull mix) run around outside and sometimes in the woods on our property. We started finding ticks on them. The vet recommended $50+ collars 'that most other owners buy for their dogs.' We scoffed at the expense for two dogs. I had remembered seeing this product on Shark Tank and had saved it on my lists here. Started using it on our dogs three months ago, Doberman has had not one tick and the pitbull had one, on the back of his ear, which we found super quick. This has been a great natural product to use out here. And there are tons of ticks. I think I'm going to start using it for myself per reading other reviews." —KitKat
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four sizes and scents).
It'll also work on other things you can fit inside, like eyeglasses!
Promising review: "What a perfect gadget for getting your phone clean. After touching who knows what while commuting to work, and it being that time of year everyone around you gets sick, this comes in handy. After the first use it looked great, and then I wiped it down with the sponge that came with it. I feel so much better about using my phone now." —Crystal Gardner
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I was looking for a safe natural product that didn't have any ingredients requiring a hazardous waste disposal label. A lot of so-called 'natural' cleaners have ingredients that need an EPA use-and-disposal label. This doesn't.
It is strong enough to really go through grease and grime like a clear organic tornado. I haven't found anything that can't be cleaned with it yet. Plus it's odor-free. I feel comfortable spraying it in places where pets, children or myself in bare feet might absorb it by stepping in the residue. It's hard to get excited over cleaning spray but this deserves a level of excitement in my home." —Mark O.
Get two bottles from Amazon for $17.68.
Promising review: "I didn't even think about my shower drain being such a problem with hair. We have a relatively new shower and the drain was starting to be slow, but not really a problem because the pipe has a long drop. I was watching Shark Tank and thought maybe I need to check this out. Wow, there was a lot of hair to clean! Three long-haired girls in the house! I started using this and it pulled all sorts of hair out. We change it about once a month. Easy to pull out and no breaks or rust. I keep buying!" —Kindle Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three designs).
Promising review: "Finished using it five minutes ago and it’s the best! My husband uses a Stanley thermos daily to take coffee to work. He tries to remember to rinse it out every day, but that doesn’t always happen. I got the package today, filled the thermos with water, dropped a tablet in, and let it sit. I promptly forgot about it for a few hours. Initially, I was disappointed when I dumped the water, as it was barely tinged brown. Then I put fresh water in, covered the top, shook it, and OMG. The crap that came out was disgusting, yet fascinating. I looked in the thermos and saw almost nothing but sparkly silver! There was a little crud left in the top third of the thermos, but it’s a really tall one, so I wasn’t surprised. Got the bottle brush, swished twice, and bam! All clean! No fumes, no smell, no nothing, just clean. I used to struggle cleaning it with baking soda, vinegar, the brush, soap, and elbow grease. Screw that. I will forever use only these tablets! Here’s to better tasting (and way less gross) coffee!" —BranchingOut

Promising review: "I've struggled with the #2 for the last couple of years. I've gone from Defecating Toxic Avenger to 'Dear GOD! I feel like I'm passing the Twin King Guardian Statues.' It's been a sphincter nightmare. No matter what I tried: prunes, more water, high fiber, Taco Bell, even White Castle — nothing was working. Usually, in a three-week interval, I'd get very sick and spend three to four hours going to the bathroom nine or ten times. After my sphincter would be tender and I'm damn near positive if this had gone on, it would be the end of me. Then I saw this. Decided to go ahead and plunk down the $25. By day two of using it I started to feel better and my cramps were gone. I swear to god, when I go on my next road trip, I'm taking the damn thing with me, and IDGAF if my friends laugh at me. This damn thing may have saved my health and possibly my life." —DJ_Malsidious

Promising review: "I used to save these little gems for 'special projects' (what projects, I don't know because I ended up not ever using them!). Then one day I decided 'what the heck, just use one in the sink for dishes, you can always buy more.' Lo and behold, I LOVE them! They remove food off of dishes more easily than a sponge and I just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out spotless! They never smell and always rinse out nicely in between washings. These little gems even take off hard water build up from my shower doors! (I also use regular cleaners with them to do the trick.). I love these so much I bought a bunch and used them as stocking stuffers last Xmas! Everyone loves them!" —DivaGranny

Promising review: "I love these!!! I have suffered from vertigo for the last five years and it is stirred up when I am exposed to loud sounds, but I don't let that stop me from doing what I love. When we decided to attend a three-day electronic music festival last year, I knew I was going to need earplugs. However those foam plugs you see everywhere, block out all sound and make you feel like you are in a tunnel, which would be terrible when you paid a lot of money to hear music. I purchased these and could not have been happier. They block out the sound at really high decibels, but still allow sound to go through. I could still hear the music and did not set my vertigo spinning. I would recommend these to anyone. I also wear them at frequent sporting events, which are also loud." —Julie B.

Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
Promising review: "We saw this on Shark Tank, and thought we'd give it a shot. The Chapstick-sized tube is perfect for travel. Walking on a beach with sunglasses on, sweat makes them slide down. Just a couple of dabs of this Nerdwax keeps them in place. It also worked well keeping glasses up during snow blowing in a recent blizzard. So while I'd rather use it walking on a beach, it did the job when I was shoveling snow as well. Is it costly? Yes. But does it work? Yes!" —Ernest DeFelice
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
FYI, it's self-sealing and non-plastic. It's also free of BPA, PVC, and latex.
Promising review: "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 ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky they are very easy to clean and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc)." —Megan A.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in several sizes and colors).
Promising review: "So glad i found this. I love ratchet belts but 'til now i have only seemed to find ones for more formal business wear. But I've been looking for one I can wear casually with jeans for example, and therefore wanted one a little wider — that's why I was glad I found Mission belts which is 40mm wide. I also love the selection they provide. The leather and buckles. Another unique feature is the square end as most belts are rounded/pointed. I'm a 29" waist and bought the small, but I still had to chop off 10cm so that the tail wasn't flapping around my left side." —T. ALKHAJAH
Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in 5 sizes and 45 color combos).
Promising review: "Okay, so I am a sucker for innovations that I see on Shark Tank so bought this without giving it much thought. When it arrived I thought I had probably made a mistake, but turns out I use them all the time. I keep one in the microwave, which makes clean-up easier but also allows me to use it as a potholder. I keep the other in a drawer and use it as a trivet to protect my counters and table. Stores easily, has lots of uses, cleans in a flash. Pretty cool." —Kathy, Avid Reader
Get a pack of two Amazon for $31.95 (available in 16 colors).
Promising review: "The face wash I use isn't the most economical, but nothing else works better for my skin. I got this to help get the remaining lotion out of the bottles that I was too cheap to throw out (I was running out of space in my shower...). This really gets it all out! Also used it with my other toiletries in my shower, and now I have so much room for activities! Read the dimension before you purchase; I thought I was getting these sleek spatulas, but you could hurt someone with the Spatty Daddy if you tried (not saying you should do that). Regardless of size, these work great!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $9.99.
Promising review: "This detangled my hair in seconds. I have very tangled hair but this only takes about two to three strokes and that side/knot is out!!! You finish your hair in minutes. Very extremely knotty hair will take about seven to 15 minutes, but if you have only a knot and other little knots, it only takes about two to five minutes!" —❤️ Naomi ❤️
Get them from Amazon for $14.95+ each (available in a variety of types).
Promising review: "Comfortable neck pillow. Great for air travel, the hoodie is very easy to adjust over your face, it helps me block out the unwanted light and overall sights on the plane! I also use when riding as a passenger in a car to get in a quick nap. The memory foam is quite comfortable." —TK
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in four colors).
I can personally vouch that the Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser, Watermelon + AHA Glow Sleeping Mask, and Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops (none of which are pictured) are fantastic!

Promising review: "I'm a teacher, and every time I leave home it looks like I've packed for a vacation. This bag is bigger than it looks, which enables me to steal more things from home for my classroom. The extendable handle and rolling wheels mean that I can save my back and shoulder from the weight of at least two bags, plus I have a free hand in which to carry my Harry Potter mug of chai. There's also a handy little pocket on front for my classroom door key and dollar bills for the vending machine." —A. Shah
Get it from Amazon for $45.69+ (available in more varieties).
BTW, it's BPA-free, FDA-compliant, heat-resistant up to 450 degrees F, and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "I was frying chicken with lard (yes, I use lard! My chicken is NOT health food.) and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall. Helpful" —Carl G Brown
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in four colors).
Promising review: "This stuff is awesome!!! We used only one pack for our campfire and it kept burning for a long while — well after the logs caught. There was no oily, smelly chemicals or toxic smoke like some fire starters that are paraffin based. This burned clean so we had a nice relaxing fire to enjoy — no poking or prodding necessary to get the fire going." —Mooselady

Get the Wash + Go system from Curlmix for $89+ (available in five scents/formulas).
Promising review: "Very practical ring. I can wear this ring without it getting in the way or even really noticing it. I wear it in the shower, doing dishes, whatever. I got the white one and so far (approx. 1 month use) no discoloration, which I was worried about. I have an allergy to metal so this was a very good non-traditional solution for my wedding ring. (I still have my nice diamond ring to wear out when I dress up). I am usually a 4.75 or 5 ring size; I bought a size 4 and it did stretch slightly as other reviewers mentioned so now it fits like a glove. I was worried that it would feel too tight at first and it would freak me out if I couldn't get it off or it would cut off circulation. None of this happened. It was totally comfortable from day one. Very happy! Definitely recommend!" —WWoman6814
Get it from Amazon for $17.49 (available in sizes 4–9 and 6 colors).
Promising review: "I didn't know these even existed until seeing them on an episode of Shark Tank. I gave them a try and wow! No more sweat spots. I have hyperhidrosis and sweat a lot, mostly in my armpits and hands. I would always sweat through my shirts, even with wearing an undershirt. With this shirt, I have yet to see any sweat spots. It fits well as an undershirt." —RoBroKnos
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in men's sizes XS–3XL and four colors, and women's sizes XS–2XL).
Promising review: "I can't tell you how many reading glasses I've killed in the past few years, largely from jettisoning them from my breast pocket or hooking them awkwardly in my shirt collar. These clips are amazing. They're discreet enough that I don't look like a goon wearing one on my shirt all day, and when I hang my glasses from them I can tie my shoes without spilling them lens-first on the ground. What else can a fellow ask for?" —Phil Selman
Get two sets from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three finish combos).
Promising review: "Great product and have repurchased. Truly great in removing long time cumulated grease on stove top and cooking vents. Gave one away as gift and was told that it's also great in removing bike grease on hands." —sf
Get two canisters of 25 wipes each from Amazon for $10.21.
Promising review: "I work for the railroad and I am always getting my hands dirty! I could never seem to find anything that worked. Also, I live in Utah so when it starts getting cold my hands dry out. Well, with Grip Clean that doesn’t happen! I have my coworkers coming to my locker asking to get some soap since the soap we have at doesn't work as well as Grip Clean!" —Nick
Get it from Amazon for $11.50.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I’m one of those people who over-plucked in the past and now can’t get the thick eyebrows I once hated back. It does take practice and a little trial and error to get the perfect brow. I usually keep a Q-tip handy and sometimes have to reshape after I apply. It is waterproof and lasts a few days. I am careful in the shower when washing my face to wash around the brows. Photos are me out for a jog without anything on my brows, second is after delivering my baby — yes. After my water broke, I took a shower and applied my Wunderbrow! Lasted through 12 hours of labor and three days in the hospital. =)" —Tiffany Haney
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five colors).
Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat! There really isn't another product that compares to this." —Tessa Forbes
Get two from Amazon for $24.99.
Promising review: "I really like these face wipes and body wipes from this company. Some times after I get done working out or working out in the yard I want to cool off before jumping in the shower but don't want to sit down all nasty. So inside these to slightly clean up before jumping in the shower or getting in the car. There is a slight residue from these but it goes away quickly when it dries and leaves you feeling clean. They come in handy if you're camping and don't have access to a shower. Or just want to clean your face." —Amazon_Addict
Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $28.99.
Promising review: "Does your child 'feed the dog' during meal time? While this dish won't guarantee they won't continue that fun habit, it sure helps. Instead of 'wiping all the food' off his highchair tray, now my grandson's food sits in this sturdy dish that can't move. And I mean can't! It stays put and the cut pieces are easy to pick up it. Easy to clean too!" —Reeve

This Black woman-owned brand was inspired when founder Yve-Car Momperousse couldn't find any Haitian Black Castor Oil for sale anywhere to help repair her damaged hair. Now the company sells this holy grail oil but ALSO so many more products to keep your hair and skin looking and feeling its best.
Promising review (for the oil): "I purchased Kreyòl Essence’s all Natural Haitian Black castor oil and at first I didn’t notice any changes with my hair besides it being moisturized and having oil on my hands after touching it. I had my braids in at the time and I got them redone, and when I was taking them out I realized the growth from my hair. It’s getting longer and it looks very healthy. I also used rice water/a rice water rinse once a month as well. The only thing I’m currently working in addition to length, health, and moisture is getting my edges to be more full as well. Lastly, I also bought the Kreyòl Essence scalp care Haitian black castor oil and I’m excited to use it again when I wash my hair. THANK YOU KREYÒL ESSENCE! Im going to buy another bottle of the castor oil ! :)" —A Customer

Promising review: "I've had my Bambooee rolls for five months now. I love using it to clean most of the surfaces at home such as kitchen counter tops, table, and bathroom surfaces. I still buy paper towels for when I eat. This for me did not replace paper towels but it did replace the amount of paper towels I use. Instead of grabbing a paper towel to wipe down my kitchen counter top, I grab a Bambooee and clean up any mess.
The great part about the Bambooee vs. a rag is that it does not smell! The bamboo never gets moldy or harbors any bacteria. You can tell by smell alone. You can use it multiple times, rinse it with water and soap, and then let it air dry by the sink. I hang mine under they sink. After one week of use, I'll throw it in a bin for wash. I wash it on hot with bleach and detergent. I do not put it in the dryer. It shrinks drastically when you do. Instead I air dry them. Stretch them out when they're still wet. Then after when they're dry I roll them back on to the roller it came with. I stick the whole roll under the sink. I have noticeably spent less on paper towels. I love this product so much!" —AmazonAddict

Promising review: "God's ramen cooker. This thing may seem like just an ordinary Tupperware, but I assure you it will blow that thin plastic garbage out of the water. It retains heat amazingly and does not bend or falter under extreme temperatures.

Buy this product if you live and breathe air, because it is beautiful." —Theron

Promising review: "This is an awesome product! I recently adopted a 2-year-old small dog and was told at the shelter that he was surrendered because he 'soiled in the house'. I was determined to find a solution and to work with him as long as I needed, as I feel it rarely is the dog's fault. I remembered seeing the Fresh Patch on Shark Tank and started a search on the Internet. Amazon popped right up and since I use it all the time I didn't hesitate to place an order! It came fresh, boxed well, and ready to go. I love this little porch potty and so does Jax. We use it on the deck and he has never had an accident in the house since! I also had back surgery recently and this has been a godsend because I could let Jax out and remain in my PJs! Wouldn't be without it and I highly recommend to others!" —PurpleRibbon

Promising review: "If you have a reverse osmosis system this is essential for coffee. I love RO water for just drinking, however for coffee, mixing this in gives a very robust, aromatic coffee.
