This 16-ounce mug is microwave- and dishwasher safe! Pssst. There's one for dog people, too.

Promising review: "My new favorite mug!! I was over the moon when I saw the last one at my store!! Super cute and great quality mug." —Raquel

Price: $7

Each pack includes four 10.5 by 10.5-inch tiles. They're super easy to install, too — simply remove the backing from each tile and apply to any smooth, flat surface. No grout, cement, or wet saw is needed. Have weird corners in your kitchen? No problem. You can cut them with a utility knife or scissors.

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. They look so real and authentic. It only took about an hour to do. Easy to re-apply, and adjust, and cut to fit. Used a level to get the first one right and went from there. I ordered extra to make sure I wasn’t short and had the same dye lot. Will return the extra." —Barbmick

Price: $22.99

This is also a peel-and-stick backsplash that can be customized to your space! Each pack comes with four 10 by 10-inch panels.

Price: $16.29

Reviewers also say they put houseplants on this rack to drain while watering.

Promising review: "I know it’s just a dish rack but seriously — this thing made me stop using my dishwasher. I’ve tried different kinds of dish racks and I could never get myself to actually use them. I live in a small apartment and the counter space is super limited. So using that precious space for an ugly clunky dish drying rack was just not gonna happen. I ended up using my dishwasher daily, even for just me-myself-and-I’s dishes because it was so annoying. But this completely fixed that! I have a small standard cheap apartment sink and this fits fine in it — I thought I’d need a wide fancy sink but nope. I like that you can adjust the size as needed, and I can wash dishes right next to it rather than dealing with water and towels smelling weird from the dishwater drying onto the counters. I just wish I had it sooner!" —Belle

Price: $15

Reviewers say this rug can be washed and dried in a washing machine with no issue. It comes in two sizes: 34 by 20 inches or 60 by 20 inches.

Promising review: "Love the color and pattern and it has a nice cushiness when standing on it. This is the second one I’ve purchased for my kitchen. They look great and work well." —4 kitty mom

Price: $18–22 (available in two sizes)

Each pack comes with 10 balls, one ball for each use.

Promising review: "This garbage disposal cleaner is the only one that seems to be effective for our disposal unit. I’ve tried numerous brands, but keep coming back to this one. The citrus scent sticks around for several days, and I love how efficiently the disposer runs after being cleaned. Super easy to use. Highly recommend." —Laurenm0606

Price: $6.29

Each roll measures 16 feet by 18 inches. It's made with a water-based adhesive that allows you to reposition and remove it without any sticky leftover residue. So it's a great option if you're renting a space and can't make permanent changes.

Promising review: "Very easy to use. Just takes a bit of time to line things up right and measure things out. Turned out very nice. Used it for the sink in the bathroom and will be doing the countertops in the kitchen next." —Pizza Knowledge

Price: $7.49

The official name for this nifty contraption is the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill. It's designed to produce less smoke for indoor grilling *without* sacrificing high cooking temperatures, so you'll still get those oh-so-satisfying char-grilled marks and flavors. It also has a built-in smart thermometer so your steaks (beef or cauliflower) come out perfectly done without any guesswork. It has a family-sized capacity which translates to six steaks or 24 hotdogs, and the removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Oh, and before I forget — the six functions are: grill, air crisp, bake, roast, dehydrate, and broil.

Promising review: "LOVE my Ninja Foodi XL. Enough capacity to cook for a family of five. Anything from chicken, salmon, veggies taste amazing. Very easy clean up and doesn’t heat up the entire house when cooking. Zero splash or grease from foods." —Jennyfromtheblock

Price: $259.99

Promising review: "I love that this holds my 1.5-liter bottles. Nice quality. Not heavy but heavy enough to hold these beauties." —StefaTarget

Price: $40

Promising reviews: "Beautiful color, large in circumference. Looks great on my mid-century cabinets." —ES

"Beautiful and a great price. purchased four sets of 10 for my new kitchen. They are heavy, solid, and not cheap looking." —Target Reviewer

Price: 10-pack for $55.99 (pulls) or $25.99 (knobs)

Clean-up is easy thanks to the nonstick surface, and it comes with a removal tool to help you lift the cakes out safely. Reviewers say you can use pancake or muffin mix in this, too!

Promising review: "I LOVE big Bundts (seriously, I own several pans) — but I also thoroughly enjoy using this thing to turn out adorable donut-sized bundtlets. Cleanup is easy, too!" —Kristin

Price: $16.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "This is a great size for fruits and veggies, while being cute enough to sit out on my counter." —jcarroll

Price: $12

Promising review: "Once you have one of these, you feel like you can't live without it. It's perfect for cookbooks, an iPad, or a phone, and looks beautiful even without anything in it! Has held up very well with no dings, scratches, or chips." —Maddie

Price: $19.99

Promising review: "These pendants are HUGE! I purchased two for over our dining table…let me tell you — they make a statement! They are modern and sleek, and for the price you just can’t beat them!" —Mayers250

Price: $80

It's easy to use — just add water and coffee grounds to the machine, ice to the tumbler, and brew! And it produces less waste than some other coffee machines, too — there are no pods, it comes with a reusable nylon coffee filter (so there's no need for paper filters), and you can forgo disposable cups because of the reusable tumbler (which is double-wall insulated and BPA-free).

Promising review: "This thing is really a staple in my household. I constantly repurchase for all my friends and family who enjoy iced coffee because it just makes a great gift! Occasionally when I don't want to make a whole pot of hot coffee I use this for a single cup, too! Easy to clean and great for a quick, at-home fix, lol." —booger

Price: $39.99 (available in two colors)

The lid on this 7-gallon trash can locks in place in an upright position and opens with the touch of a button.

Promising review: "Love the color. The lock feature is nice to keep little people out of it but it’s not a hassle to get into quickly and surprisingly better made than I was expecting. The overall shape and style works very well for me. If I needed another trash can I would buy this." —Mamaoffourormore

Price: $16

It fits standard-size gallon, quart, sandwich, and snack plastic food bags. The top lid is removable for easy loading, and the organizer can lay down in a drawer or stand vertically in a cabinet or pantry.

Price: $29.99

I witnessed the Yonanas in action at a friend's house recently and was thoroughly impressed. You can add pretty much any kind of frozen fruit or chocolate in addition to the frozen bananas. And the result is very similar to soft serve ice cream but it's not too sweet and very refreshing. Highly recommend. The chute, plunger, and blade are top-rack dishwasher safe.

Promising review: "I love this soft serve maker. I'm a big fan of acai bowls and this makes a perfect one. I partially thaw the frozen acai pack, then add partially thawed frozen bananas, strawberries, pineapple, etc. and feed them through the maker. You can also add a small amount of unfrozen fruit to make it a more 'softer' version. Then finish it off with greek yogurt or the topping of your choice. Best small appliance I've purchased in years! Easy cleanup." —CydF

Price: $49.99

Promising review: "I was looking for a solution to keep our appliances looking clean. I tried pretty much any wipe or spray I could find for stainless steel and found this works the best! Our appliances look pretty much new whenever we use this!" —koli

Price: $6.79

I recently treated myself to one of these saucepans after resisting the temptations for years. A couple of my friends owned pans from the Caraway line so I got to test them out before making the investment — and lemme tell you, they are fantastic. They are a breeze to clean, retain heat beautifully, and come in gorgeous colors. I got mine in green, and yes, I do leave it out on the stove because it's nice to look at.

This saucepan is not just for sauces — it's truly the perfect size for one person, whether you're making a packet of instant noodles, boiling some eggs, whipping up a small portion of soup/mac and cheese/pasta, or more!

Price: $110 (available in six colors)
