Promising review: "I’ve tried a few different water flossers over the years, but Waterpik is the only brand I truly trust and keep coming back to. This cordless one is easy to use, comfortable on the gums, and powerful enough to actually make a difference without being harsh. I love that it’s rechargeable, compact, and easy to keep on the counter or take when traveling. The pressure settings are great, and it leaves my mouth feeling really clean every time. It’s simple, reliable, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If you’re looking for a water flosser that actually works and lasts, this one is worth it." —Amazon Customer

Price: $39.99 (originally $49.99; available in two colors)

Promising reviews: "Immediate hit with my 10 month old. Can’t wait to watch him learn to stand and walk with it too!" —Madelyn Hayes

"My grandchild went from trying to walk to walking with this fun and incredibly right sized and sturdy walker. There’s plenty of clearance for her little feet to move freely. Her parents love it, too! The play unit detaches for sit down play time! This one is a winner!" —MD

Price: $36.99 (originally $47.99; available in four colors)

Promising review: "This drill works fantastic! Great power and feels nice in the hand. Very grippy and durable, battery seems pretty good too considering the price. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt and I am super happy to add this tool to my collection!" —Julie R.  

Promising reviews: "A little goes a long way. I can't believe how much money we are saving." —Pat

"Affordable, easy to use, saves some cash and space in the recycling bin. The extra flavor options and additional CO2 canisters are fairly priced, and you get quite a bit of use out of each one." —g squared

Promising review: "When I first got this air fryer, my husband told me that I had wasted my money. He doesn't say that any longer. The air fryer is a wonderful addition to our kitchen. I make things that I had never made before, and I have adapted many recipes so that I can cook them in it. It really comes in handy on hot days. I am very happy that I bought it, and so is my husband." —Just Terri

Promising review: "I wish I would have taken a before and after picture. My skin is combo, plus I get those small fungal bumps all over my chin that would not go away. This product in less than a week made them almost completely disappear. I’m AMAZED. And disappointed that I didn’t give this product a try sooner. I used it 2–3 times a day for the first week and now twice daily. If you don’t moisturize you will have dry skin with some peeling/flaking. My skin is very sensitive and usually products just make my acne worse, but this did not. My pores have shrunk and they stay clear!" —Leanna R.

Promising review: "Wonderful bedtime fan or anytime really. I had been looking for a quality tower fan where the display actually turned off with some sort of sleep mode, and this works perfectly for that. The power is fantastic for the price, and it's relatively quiet even on its highest setting. My favorite part of the sleep mode, however, is that it will auto-adjust the fan speed based on the temperature. Temp goes down, fan speed drops with it, goes up, it goes back up. No more waking up with a fan blasting on high, but instead I will wake up with it at least 2-3 levels lower than where I went to sleep. Makes for a much gentler wake-up. Setup is a breeze as well, just take it out of the case, clip the base plates together, and stand it up. Remote is easy to use even in the dark, no LED on it, but buttons are pronounced enough and few enough, it's pretty easy to tell which you need in the middle of the night. The fan itself also includes a storage for the remote in the back, so you won't lose it." —Alan

Price: $54.95 (originally $74.99; available in black and white)

Promising review: "Love these Cameras. Great clear quality and super easy to set up! If you are looking to add a camera or camera system, you can't beat the price and quality of these." —Dexter

Promising review: "Great buy!!! Easy to install and connect to module. You can turn brightness up on the light. It’s light up my whole street when I have the light set all the way up. Excellent sound quality I can hear the neighbors talking. 🤣 I will be getting one for my backyard to make sure no kids try to jump over my 6ft privacy fence and get in my pool. My favorite thing is you can set the light for motion sensor and if the light is triggered by motion, person or animal an alarm sound will go off!!!" —Tina

Price: $29.99 (originally $99.99; available in two colors)

Promising review: "I have waited one month of use to review these. I have made fried eggs with no butter or oil, I have melted grated cheese, and I have even made JAM! I have never owned such a quality set of pots and pans in my lifetime. And I haven't even mentioned the silicone-sealed lids! The only thing I wish I could change is to make them oven safe. But that is a very small price to pay for all of the pros you get with this set! I have vowed to never place these in the dishwasher and never use anything but silicone utensils. These are scrub-free, so I just use my regular dish detergent, a soft cloth, and air dry. So my advice to everyone looking to buy a set is WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? ?????????????? You will not regret this purchase!" —Paula 

Price: $49.99+ (originally $79.99; available in 16 or 18 pieces and two colors)

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Helps me see how active I am throughout the day and how many calories I burn. A good reminder to be mindful about what I consume in a day verses how much exercise I’m getting. Very beneficial, highly recommended." —Jackie

Price: $99.95 (originally $159.95; available in three colors)

BRB: *Actually* adding this to my cart because my kid is going to be over the moon to watch the new Mario movie with this setup! 

Here's BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes on this light system: "My boyfriend recently surprised me by upgrading my TV setup with this backlight, and I've been so impressed with its performance already, especially when watching movies or playing video games. It's important to follow the instructions closely to ensure the color-matching looks correct (and Govee has a great instructional video on this), but we had no issues. The setup includes light strips that go around the back of your TV and a camera that subtly hangs over your TV at the top, which might seem weird at first, but it doesn't cover your screen at all and you forget it's there in no time.

The VIBES are simply unmatched whenever this backlight is turned on. One of the first things we put on to test it was Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on Disney Plus, and it really lived up to the promise of immersion, extending out all of the incredible lighting production almost like it was happening in my living room. I posted a clip of it on my Instagram Stories and had one person message me, "Wow, it's like you're at the show." It really was (and I didn't even have to drop $300+ for the experience). 

I have several other Govee products (and this backlight incorporates with them all seamlessly via the Govee app), but this is easily my favorite piece of lighting I've bought from them yet. As a night owl myself, I highly recommend it for anyone who spends much of their evening hours parked in front of the TV!"

Promising review: Best purchase all year. The setup was easy, and the calibration was easy. Only had it for a day so far, but it sticks fine. App is very customizable." —Michela Tymeson

Price: $69.99+ (originally $89.99; aslo available in two other sizes). 

Promising review: "Comes with step-by-step instructions. Everything BUT a tiny screw driver is included, which isn’t a big deal. It’s bigger than I thought, perfect for parties or to use at home. The top base comes apart too. Definitely recommend." —Laura Vasquez

Promising review: "Magical. As a college student, I get a lot of use out of headphones while walking around campus and while studying, and these are [exceptionally] good. I like studying around others but I don’t necessarily like hearing a lot of noise, in noise canceling mode and with music on at a low/moderate volume, I can hear NOTHING! It’s so trippy but so nice. The touch controls are great for changing volume or songs since I don’t need to take my phone out and inevitably get distracted. Great battery life as well, considering I use them for probably 3-5 hours a day. They are expensive, but if you wait for them to go on sale (like I did), it will be even more worth it. However, I still would have paid full price for them and been satisfied, but if you’re on a budget, waiting for a sale might be smarter, but they are a worthy investment since I hope they will last at least 3-4 years." —Troy

Price: $278 (originally $399.99; available in four colors)

Promising reviews: "This thing makes deliciously smoky food. I’ve had other smokers but this one is by far the best." —Msobotik262

"Not sure how I never wrote a review on this bad boy but, this has been my consistent go to smoker for the last 6 years. No frills, but does its job perfectly at an amazing price." —Justin Pone

Promising review: "Perfect little speaker for golf and around the pool. Good sound and super easy to set up and operate." —Texan

Price: $29.95 (typically $40; available in eight on-sale colors)

Promising review: "I have literally spent thousands of dollars trying to get rid of my dark spots. Countless med spa appointments, countless aesthetician appointments, lasers, and treatments, and nothing got rid of them. This did more for me in one week than any of those treatments ever did! I can’t believe it, this product is the best $40 you will ever spend if you are looking to get rid of dark spots, melasma, red spots, and uneven skin tone!" —DawsonPossum

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and all the parts were included. It’s sturdy and gives more space than my old tall storage cabinet. It’s sturdy and has the light inside but I have no available plug nearby so I’m not using that feature. It’s not necessary for what I use this for in my bathroom. I like the clean look and it’s very practical. It’s also heavy enough to not worry that it will tip easily." —Rachelle Liska

Price: $63.99 (originally $89.99; available in two on-sale colors)

Promising review: "The PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller is a high-quality controller with a comfortable grip and modern design. Its adaptive triggers and haptic feedback make gameplay more immersive and realistic. It responds quickly, feels solid in your hands, and works perfectly wirelessly. It can also be used with a USB-C cable when needed. It arrived fast and in great condition, making it a great overall purchase." —Abel

Price: $54+ (originally $79.99; available in 12 on-sale colors)

Promising review: "It's frustrating that I didn't find this mouse sooner. The ability to change how the scroll wheel works is mandatory for me. Having a second scroll wheel on the side for a different function is just amazing. If you've used other Logitech mice then you know what this is and will love it. The ability to just recharge it instead of changing batteries all the time is a huge improvement. It's extremely comfortable because it fits my hand so well. It's a bit heavier than some mice I've used and that does help with the control just a bit. It is pretty responsive. It's a bit expensive for a mouse, but after using it a while I would say that the price is fully justified." —Don Carter

Promising review: "Amazing! So fast and quiet!. I wish I would have replaced my old sharpener long ago!" —JW

Price: $17.94+ (originally $23.99+; available in three on-sale colors)
