These ultra-soft and highly-absorbent microfiber cleaning cloths are great for dishes, the car — and they even do windows!
If you didn't think people would go ga-ga for cleaning cloths, think again. More than 62,000 reviewers have given this 12-pack a perfect five-star rating, with its versatility as a duster, dryer and even facecloth being its major win.
"They get multiple uses in my house," wrote this fan. "From dusting to kitchen use to cleaning off my makeup in one swipe (seriously, best ever for that). They are versatile, sturdy, and wash well. I've used other microfiber cloths and they were a bit scratchy, but these are really great for your face. Fantastic value also. I definitely recommend."

"This is the one," said one. "I am blown away by the high quality of these affordable satin pillowcases. This is the third brand I’ve tried and these are hands down the winners. The material is high quality and feels silky and durable (yet soft and supple). The stitching and zipper feel like they will last. They fit beautifully and look great. I am so impressed, I plan to buy other products from this brand."
This No. 1 bestselling gadget sharpens, hones and polishes in three steps. It has a comfy handle and comes with a safety glove to prevent cuts.
This little gadget will save you a few headaches and a lot of money. If you own a set of knives, there's a really good chance they need sharpening. Even if you use a sharpening steel every time you cut through a tomato or chop celery, each slice slowly dulls the blade. You could take your knives to a professional, but not everyone has the time or money for that. It has over 22,000 five-star ratings from many happy shoppers who were considering the same thing.
One satisfied cook shared: "I've had my poor chef knife in a drawer and over the last year it's gotten dull and has a small dent on the blade. I just got this sharpener and used the three steps. And I gotta say I'm impressed. I managed to cut through paper after doing the three-step sharpening. It's like the knife is brand-new. For the price and ease of use, I would recommend anyone get this for their home."

"Works great!" gushed one. "I got this for my boyfriend who works on a construction site and does not have access to a microwave. We have had it for a few months now and he absolutely loves it! Now he can take leftovers from dinner the night before. It has been super beneficial during these cold months so he is able to have a hot meal on his lunch break. It has also given him so many more options of what he can take to eat."

Shared one thrilled shopper: "I bought this kitchen scale for my mom, and she loves it. It's very thin and takes up almost no room at all in the cabinet, and the digital display is nice and clean. It appears to have an auto-on-and-off feature, and it comes with a spare battery! For the money, this is a terrific little tool for cooking, weighing for mail postage, or even hobbies."

This No. 1 bestselling handheld electric can opener works with the push of a button. More than 66,000 five-star fans are opening cans without the headache (and sore fingers).
Say goodbye to dangerously sharp edges and fiddling with a manual can opener — this electric one is worth its weight in gold if you never accidentally nick your fingers on a jagged lid again.
"By far, the best one-handed can opener I've found. A little powerhouse compared to every other kind I've used," shared a shopper. "The moment I turned it on, I knew, finally, I'd hit the can opener jackpot. There was no doubt I'd no longer have to deal with any more half-opened cans, stuck openers that couldn't be separated from the cans, frustration, wasted money and having to toss another ridiculous busted device in the trash."

One fan exclaimed, "Loved this so much we bought another! We initially purchased this frother for my husband to mix his coffee but I loved how well it whisks! We bought a second one so he could have one just for his coffee and I could use mine for whisking eggs, mixing sauces, etc."
