Promising review: “We love our new strip lights so much that I decided to buy a second set. The first one was installed above the kitchen cabinets, where we placed some artwork and vases. The second set was placed under the kitchen island top. Grandkids love speaking to Alexa to change the colors of the lights. Set up was extremely easy, and it works with the Alexa app.” – junin07

3.

A set of silicone oven rack edge protectors.

Say goodbye to burnt hands! These protectors shield you from the heat of those hot metal oven racks.

This clever dispenser keeps your bread in its original bag, prolonging its freshness and dispensing one slice at a time. Promising review: “After 14 years of my kids not sealing the bread back up, we have finally found a solution to bread going stale before being used up! Not only do these prevent waste, but they also allow me to stand the loaves on end, saving valuable counter space! It’s a win-win.” – Katherine Anthony

5.

A slim profile pull-and-rotate cabinet organizer.

This space-saving organizer cleverly stacks your spices and other items on top of each other, keeping your cabinets neat and tidy. Promising review: “TikTok inspired me. Guys, this thing is the real deal. Everything that doesn’t fit on my spice rack ended up cluttering my cabinets. This thing solved that problem efficiently, quickly, and reasonably. We added a little extra double-sided tape to the bottom to make it extra secure. Love it.” – Kaitlyn B.

6.

An aesthetically pleasing dishwasher magnet.

Never wonder if the dishes are clean or dirty again! This magnet sticks to your dishwasher and indicates the status. Promising review: “I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not.” – D. Washington

7.

An amazing cheese grater that can grate an entire block of cheese in under a minute.

This versatile grater can also handle vegetables and nuts. Promising review: “I had seen someone use this on TikTok and wasn’t sure if it would be that good, but decided to try it. Loved that you can secure it to the table. It is very easy to use, works great and easy to clean. Highly recommend.” – Nathalee Porter

8.

An expandable rack that wraps around your kitchen sink pipe.

This clever rack literally doubles your storage space in the cabinet, a true miracle product! Promising review: “I’m so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom, and this fits perfectly. I have it extended to about 23 inches, and it holds sturdy, though I can see if you were to extend it to its full length, it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath.” – Marlene R.

9.

A clear, nonslip cutting board to go right onto your countertop.

This board is perfect for showing off your beautiful countertop while providing a stable surface for chopping. Promising review: “This piece is beautiful. I love how it’s clear and shows what is underneath. I can have it on my counter all the time and it looks to be part of the kitchen. I’ve chopped many things on it, and I have no scratches. Very easy to clean.” – Amazon Customer

10.

A slim magnetic stove shelf.

Transform that awkward space on top of your stove into a handy ledge for storing spices, olive oil, and other cooking essentials. Promising review: “This was such an awesome buy! I don’t like things on my counter, and it was very important for me to have these items at arm’s reach! I LOVE THIS STOVE SHELF! I’m glad I saw it on TikTok!” – Yesenia

11.

A microfiber spin mop with an efficient design.

This mop makes cleaning your kitchen floors a breeze, spinning off excess water and featuring a triangular shape to reach tight corners. Promising review: “Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and, dare I say, fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then, I wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don’t want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime, then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it’s easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you’re on the fence, go for it, you’ll agree.” – LauraP320

12.

An absolutely gorgeous glass rice dispenser.

Elevate your countertop or pantry with this stylish dispenser, featuring an airtight lid and a glass measuring cup. Promising review: “You control the amount of rice, includes a glass measure cup. It’s so beautiful.” – Cetta

13.

A silverware sorter that fits a full 24-piece cutlery set but takes up half the space of a traditional organizer.

Maximize your drawer space with this compact and efficient sorter. Promising review: “I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc., in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over facedown in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!” – mialro

14.

A can of fire-extinguishing aerosol spray.

Keep this handy near your cooking area for peace of mind. This small but powerful spray provides 32 seconds of firefighting time. Promising review: “Of course you never want to use something like this but I knew that we needed one in our new condo just in case. I was right! I was toasting taco shells in our large toaster and looked away for a moment. Smoke billowed first, and then it caught fire fast. My husband grabbed the device, aimed and sprayed for about five seconds. He stopped, and I barked for him to do it again because it caught one more time. There’s no way I would have been able to toss a blanket up there, and a real extinguisher would have left the biggest mess. This was easy to clean up!” – Mamercs6

15.

A sleek, magnetized dry-erase board for your fridge.

Keep track of your tasks, grocery lists, and important reminders with this convenient board. Promising review: “I have it to write down things to buy. Very convenient and came with a good number of markers. It’s really simple to clean. I use a wet cloth when I don’t want to use the eraser, and that works easy also.” – Stephanie Rios

16.

A rapid egg cooker that’ll cook up to six eggs any way you want.

From poached to hard-boiled to omelets, this cooker makes it easy to enjoy perfectly cooked eggs every time. Promising review: “I love hard-boiled eggs for protein, especially when I’m on the go as a student/worker but it’s hard to wait for the water to boil then put In the eggs and get ready all at the same time. This cooker is amazing!! Saves me time, it’s quick and I don’t have to watch it while it cooks — I can go get ready and then I hear a loud buzzer notifying me when the eggs are done! (The buzzer is really loud; sounds like a basketball game buzzer.) I was surprised how fast the eggs cooked.” – Megan

17.

An automatic, odor-absorbing, sensor-activated trash can.

This stylish stainless steel trash can features fingerprint-proof technology and a sensor-activated lid that opens with a wave of your hand. Promising review: “I bought this trash can eight years ago. At the time, it was hard to find any stainless-steel trash cans for an affordable price, so the fact that this was the most reasonable and it had the automated lid seemed like a pretty easy choice. It still looks great and works great. You can wave over the sensor to open the lid, or there is a button on the front of it to open the lid and keep it open. The lid does a great job of holding any odors in while it’s closed.” – Somni

18.

A granite and stone cleaner that’ll make your countertops shine.

This cleaner not only restores dull and sticky countertops to their former glory but also disinfects, killing up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria. Promising review: “This is my go-to granite cleaner and I’ve tried a lot! Actually gets counters clean without a film or streak and not a lot of elbow grease.” – Lori

19.

A garbage disposal cleaner.

Banish those funky odors from your garbage disposal with this quick and easy cleaner. It works in minutes, eliminating tough gunk and foul smells. Promising review: “Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn’t just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products, it cleans too and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out and that’s good enough for me.” – sylvie yah

20.

A washable, reusable sponge in vibrant prints.

Save money and the environment with these durable sponges that can be washed in the dishwasher or washing machine. Promising review: “So glad I finally found an environmentally friendly sponge THAT WORKS! I tried all the other kinds of eco-friendly sponges before these — silicon (don’t work on stuck stuff), vegetable fiber (got so mildew-y so fast), and even crocheted (felt so gross and didn’t work great). These do the job and then after a few days I just throw them in the wash! Hooray! And they’re cute!” – willowbe041

21.

A roll of bamboo towels.

Replace those single-use paper towels with these strong and washable bamboo towels. Promising review: “I’ve had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They’re much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer, and more absorbent. I’ve washed the first ones I’ve torn off the roll several times now, and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I’ve only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them, and re-used them. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of Brawny by now. One caveat…when you wash them, you’re supposed to air dry them, so I haven’t sent any through the dryer. And I haven’t needed to, because allowing them to air dry has not affected the quality of the towels when I ‘re-roll’ them!” – A. Clark

22.

A metal stand for your mixing spoon and pot lid.

This convenient stand provides a designated spot for your cooking utensils, preventing spills and messes. Promising review: “I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don’t want to set the lid on there and ruin them and putting it on the stovetop is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove. This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down safely and not worry about where all that hot water is going.” – Susan

23.

A cleaning kit to remove burnt food and gunk from your glass stovetop.

This kit includes a soft pad for everyday messes and a heavy-duty scraper for tough stains. Promising review: “As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn’t believe it! We had a new stove that I didn’t clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new.” – Christi Lambertson

24.

A handheld veggie spiralizer.

Turn ordinary vegetables into fun and healthy veggie spaghetti with this easy-to-use spiralizer. Promising review: “I love veggie noodles because they’re faster to cook than regular noodles, healthier, and super delicious! Before this device, I would buy the pre-spiralized ones at the store for a huge markup, but this device is so quick and easy to use it’s no extra trouble to do it myself, plus it’s fresher!” – Phob

25.

A universal descaling solution for your coffee and espresso machine.

Keep your single-cup coffee and espresso machine in top shape by removing limescale and other mineral deposits. Promising review: “I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn’t be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn’t expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn’t caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long.” – Lenore

26.

An anti-fatigue, ergonomic kitchen mat.

Make standing in the kitchen more comfortable with this waterproof and cushioned mat. Promising review: “Wish I would have gotten this years ago. As my back gets worse with time (and my age) standing to do dishes was starting to be far too uncomfortable. This makes me feel as if nothing is wrong with my back. It’s wonderful. Comfortable and stays where you put it. Almost wish I could have this put down as a carpeting in my whole house. I love it.” – cheyenne44

27.

A tub of the TikTok-famous Pink Stuff.

This all-purpose cleaning paste tackles stains, smudges, and scruffs on any hard surface. Promising review: “I added before and after photos of my filthy oven so you all would know this stuff is the real deal and worth it. I like that it didn’t have a strong odor and it didn’t use much effort at all to clean my oven. You can really see it removing the burnt-on grease after a few circular motions.” – DNICEANDFAM

28.

A paper towel roll holder that sticks to your wall or under the cabinet.

This tool-free holder saves countertop space and features self-adhesive backing for easy installation. Promising review: “I just happened to see this in a TikTok video and immediately went to Amazon to order! Matches my stainless steel theme of my kitchen, super easy to install with included adhesive stickers, sturdy! Looks fabulous, great price.” – Nana

29.

An Instant Pot.

This versatile appliance is truly essential for any kitchen. It can pressure cook, slow cook, cook rice, steam, sauté, and even make yogurt. Promising review: “This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is, ‘What can’t it do?’ I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two-person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!” – Stereoman

30.

A food storage set with eight 30-ounce containers with lids.

Perfect for meal prepping, these thick glass containers prevent food stains and keep your meals fresh. Promising review: “Absolutely love this product! Makes storing and transporting my meals extremely easy and keeps everything fresh all week. Portion size is perfect. I fit a whole chicken breast plus rice in them with room to spare. The leak-proof design holds in freshness and gives me peace of mind when transporting them in my backpack. When all is done they are extremely easy to clean.” – RH

31.

A cabinet door organizer.

Keep your cutting boards and paper boxes organized and out of sight with this handy organizer. 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

32.

A jar of Humble Suds’ all-natural scour cleaning paste.

This powerful paste tackles tough cleaning jobs, removing baked-on grime and stains with a delightful scent. Promising review: “I just cleaned my boyfriend’s oven that hasn’t been cleaned in five years 😲 with this magical stuff, and I was amazed. This works like a dream. Will be buying more immediately.” – Tarah Redburn

33.

A 15-piece set of airtight food containers.

There are enough containers and a variety of sizes to make me happy.

34.

A set of Oxo food storage containers.

These stylish and airtight containers are perfect for organizing your pantry and keeping your food fresh. Promising review: “Love the Oxo pop-top canisters! They seal well and open easily with a press to the pop-top. I have arthritis in my hands and these are fabulous and so easy to open, yet so secure when the lid is popped close. Also has a useful knob on the bottom of the lid so you can stick an Oxo scoop inside the container to the lid rather than down in whatever you are storing in the container.” – Lori A. Fregin

35.

A set of magnetic glass spice jars.

Organize and display your spices with these stylish and functional jars. Promising review: “I am in love with my magnetic spice jars! I recently moved to a small apartment and don’t have the counter or wall space to store spices or a spice rack, so magnetic jars it was! I love how these have a decorative feel while providing a secure way to store the spices. Unlike other magnetic spice jars, I feel that these add an extra flair to displaying your assorted spices.” – rae.m.wri

36.

An easy-to-use blender for single servings.

This compact blender is perfect for making smoothies, salsa, and other single-serving treats. Promising review: “I work in a vegan restaurant and use these once in a while for small amounts of dressings. So when I was in the market for a personal blender for smoothies and dressings/sauces for two, I knew I wanted this…and boy, does it deliver! I love prepping the smoothies the night before in the containers. It’s the perfect size for a small apartment, and it easily stores in the cabinet if you need to clear off the countertop.” – Bernadette

Keep your cereal organized and within easy reach with this dispenser that dispenses the perfect bowl with the twist of a knob. Promising review: “We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space!!! We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I’ve been trying to declutter and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter, and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!” – tenle

38.

A spice rack drawer organizer.

Organize your spices in drawers with this customizable organizer that can be cut to size. Promising review: “This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever purchased from Amazon! The fact that they are so customizable allows you to cut them for any drawer size! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!” – momonono

40.

A garlic chopper.

Chopping or mincing garlic has never been easier! This handy gadget quickly chops garlic cloves with a few rolls. Promising review: “Love! Love! Love the GarlicZoom! Mincing garlic has never been more easy or fun. It makes mince work out of garlic, onion, chilies, and herbs. I’m not sure what I love most about this little gadget. Not smelling stinky garlic fingers all night? No burning fingers or eyes from chopping a super hot chile? Or mincing fresh herbs in a blink of an eye. I have a problem wrist from an injury and an arm and hand that suffers from nerve damage. I can still manage to zoom this. When people ask if they can help in the kitchen, this is the chore that I give them, and everyone loves it. They think it’s the neatest little thing.” – Kennedy Collins

Make over 200 tiny ice cubes without a bulky ice machine. This tray features a lid to prevent freezer odors and a bin for easy storage. Promising review: “This was a really pleasing purchase, I first saw it on TikTok. Product was received as described and pictured. The ice cubes are small and cute. The bin can hold about four trays, a lil over 200 ice cubes — that’s with the scoop inside as well. The entire product doesn’t take up much freezer space…I almost forgot it was there. Overall good purchase.” – Gee ingham

42.

A drip catcher for your kitchen faucet.

A drink dispenser.

Keep your favorite beverages organized and within easy reach with this dispenser that pushes drinks forward as you remove one. Promising review: “This is a true ‘TikTok made me buy it!’ I saw this and thought I’d love to have it, but the price is pretty steep. I splurged, and I’m so glad I did. It has revolutionized the cleanliness and ease of our drink supply!!!! We always know where we are with stock, and it looks so clean. The best part is that it can be customized to fit almost any fridge. We could have even just had four rows on one shelf and four rows on another if we wanted to — the rows are so easy to separate and adjust! Do yourself a favor and bite the bullet on the purchase. You’ll be so glad you did.” – Jacqueline Foley
