Who doesn’t love a product that does more than one thing at a time? Just pop one of these multitaskers into your sink’s drain once a month and they will keep your pipes clear. The sticks release a blend of enzymes to break down food and grease to prevent backups, and they are lemon-scented to keep your home smelling fresh.

“I’ve been using this product for several months and it really does work,” raved a user. “I put one stick down each drain (bath, shower and sinks) once a month and it keeps the drains clear and odor-free. Now that they have come out with a lemon-scented product, I will be using that one, especially in the kitchen drain to leave a lemon scent.”

This gizmo is here to take the guesswork out of hard-boiled eggs — no “yolk.” Just place your eggs into the pod, add the specified amount of water and pop it in the microwave. It can cook four at a time and once they’re cooked, shake the cooker to crack the shells and make peeling them a cinch.

This shopper is ga-ga for her Pod: “Wow, it works! I saw the infomercial but waited for the eggamajiggi to come to Walmart. I was a bit skeptical, but it actually works great. … They are hard-boiled, and the shells come right off. Very cool.”

Spare your floors — and your sanity — with these protectors for chair and table feet. These clever little inventions are basically like slippers for the feet of your couch, chairs and TV stand. They’re made of silicone that caps the legs of your furniture with a soft felt pad on its “sole.” 

“I can now move my dining chairs all over the house quietly,” wrote a reviewer. “The wraps fit perfectly, they just snapped on. They are not too visible but work wonderfully well. I have natural stone floors and it was very noisy and scratched the floors when anyone would move the chairs. No more scratches and silence! Love these.”

This handy hack lets you plug in four feet away from a wall outlet. It has a peel-and-stick back so you can put it anywhere that’s convenient for you. The upshot? It can accommodate two AC outlets and two USB plugs at the same time. But of course it has a surge protector built in!

“Just what I needed!” raved this plugged-in fan. “I am able to use a wall outlet that was inconvenient — instead of having an electrician move it, I use the outlet extender. The USB ports are a bonus. Great product. I would definitely buy again.”

A quick once-over with these will prevent your pet’s fur from getting all over your upholstery — and your guests — before the doorbell rings. Unlike regular brushes, these marvelous mitts uses soft silicone bristles to collect unwanted fur before it ends up on your floors and furniture. They’re gentle on matted hair and even provide a gentle massage, so your pets get a relaxing spa treatment out of it.

“These pet-grooming gloves work really great for my cats and my dogs,” shared a pet parent. “My cats absolutely love when I get these out. It really gets their motor going and makes it easy to groom areas that can be hard to get with a brush … I was a little uncertain [of] how well the hair would come off of these mitts, but I was really impressed with how the hair just kind of rolled off in a sheet per se. I really have fun with these, and my kids enjoy using these on the cats.”

This reviewer has three decades of experience with cushioned mats and chose this one. “I have used several different mats through my 30 years of working and this is by far the most comfortable mat I’ve ever used. I can stand at my counter canning or cooking for hours and my legs and back don’t hurt. This is a big relief, as I have five discs in my back that are bad.
