Promising review: "These are a dream come true. So many of these other lazy Susans are just lazy. This one takes it up 10 notches. It's the valedictorian of Susans. It needs to change it's name because all the other Susans are the meme Susans. This one spins with ease, is so simple to clean, looks great, AND has removable sections. WHAT. Those other ones just don't have that forward thinking. I've bought these for home - my spices, my snacks, my make up. I even bought these for my work and blew people's mind. They had no idea that we could save so much space in our cabinets. They loved them. Then confessed their love to me. Awkwardly but I'll take it. And I'll take more of these. Thank you for changing my life for the better. Never leave me." —Jg

Promising review: "These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based off the high ratings and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" —Brad J. Leahy

Get it on Amazon for $24.81 (also available in bronze).

Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry

Promising review: "This is amazing and I have no idea I didn't buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn't get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved." —JStill

Promising review: "My apartment gets a lot of natural light in every room but my bedroom. I want plants but they just don't get enough light. This shelf was the perfect way to have a few plants and make sure they won't die. I really like having the timer so I can have the light turn out at bedtime. This is well made and the color is beautiful. I was able to do mine alone but it would have been easier with help. This is a beautiful statement piece." —TEXASTIA

Promising review: "This is a very strong paper towel holder and it's easy to install. It's a good value because it comes with two. I have one in the kitchen and the other in my baby's room.

Promising review: "We have a big family — five kids! We needed this, along with using our dishwasher everyday, because we still have to do a few loads of hand washing. This helps keep our counters clean. My kids have said it makes washing the dishes fun and stress free because everything has a place. It's so organized (no more lost sponge!). I think it looks very 'rustic farmhouse' because it's a heavy duty/sturdy metal. Our whole family loves it!" —Mommyto4

Promising review: "This is a good shelf. It is practical and so cute. I use it for my laundry stuff and have it hung up right next to my washer and dryer. I absolutely love the color and it's sturdy and well-made." —maryann99

Promising review: "This is a very convenient and nice looking utensil holder. When I first got it I didn't really think it looked like anything too special, but once I started to use it I was impressed. It is heavier than I imagined it would be, which reflects the quality of it. It has little compartments inside that allow you to separate your utensils so that don't lean to one side. It has little divots in the bottom to catch the utensils and prevent things from sliding around. The fact that it spins seems like a cool little added feature, but it is actually much more convenient than I could have imagined. It doesn't take up much counter space and it is pretty enough to sit on the counter without being an eyesore." —Kara

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Promising review: "I love that this is a sample pack because I’m the kind of customer who doesn't like to buy things if I don't know I’m going to like them. My family and I have been testing these out for almost a month now I love them. I found them really easy to use, I had to show my kids how to use them and they were able to do it on their own. I love there are no plastic bottles because they don't take up much space and I love how my hair feels! I highly recommend this sample pack!" —Ashley

Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Incredible addition to my bathroom! They’re relatively small (see picture to compare to standard tissue box size), but they work perfectly for cotton pads, etc. I was worried when I realized that they were plastic, however, I have come to love that they are! I don't have to worry about them breaking and I can even throw them into a suitcase for long trips. The lids fit perfectly, and I like how tightly they pop on and off. There are some small imperfections in the plastic but I’m a neat freak and it doesn't bother me at all. You will not regret this purchase!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $7.21+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Perfect for my needs! Adding additional monitor to my home office setup, this lifts my laptop to align with it. Also gives me room for storage and prevents me from having to constantly look down. Very sturdy, highly recommend." —Jennifer Lewis

What I wouldn't give to be Jeffery E. Garten...

I personally love my Quip, but it also won our budget category for the best electric toothbrush on BuzzFeed Reviews.

Promising review: "I was skeptical of getting an electric tooth brush but after the first day of use I was hooked! The sleek design and the carrier that sticks to the mirror is very aesthetically pleasing. I'm also one to stick to routine and the 30-second quadrant interval buzz helps feed to that. My gums were sensitive the first week but after using this more they are sparkly clean! My dentist said my teeth and gums are extra healthy and clean! I definitely recommend it!" —Mosancz

Promising review: "I don't often take time to write reviews, but I will do so when highly impressed by the product. I am highly impressed with this kitchen cart! All parts were encased in protective materials so the item was received damage free. The kitchen rack was easy to assemble. The tools required to put the cart together were included in the package. The storage cart is very solid and should be able to support a lot of weight. It looks great and is exactly what I hoped it would be when I pushed the purchase button!" —Amazon Customer

As you can see from the reviewer images above, this is also a super useful tool for washing/storing produce.

Promising review: "It may sound silly that something this small and simple should make me so happy but it does, every day, and many times a day. I was so sick and tired of those dumb suction cups always giving way and things dropping into the sink. This basket is PERFECT!! It's out of the way and leaves plenty of room for working in the sink. It has plenty of room for sponge, sink stopper, and scrub and nail brushes, with room to spare." —Raina
