Even if you have a vacuum, nothing can replace the ease, speed and convenience of the Chom Chom for pet hair removal. It's lightweight, small to store and reusable. 

To use the Chom Chom, simply roll it back and forth a few times across the fur-covered fabric in question. Most hair will be collected on a single swipe, but more stubborn hair might take a few additional strokes. Once the chamber is full of pet hair, simply empty it out or, as one user recommends, take a vacuum attachment to it to clear it all out easily.

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 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."

Make more space in your closet with these vacuum storage bags. Use them to store spare pillows, blankets, comforters and more. Pack away winter coats during the off season, or keep your spring bedding stored away safely when you aren't using it. These ones come with a hand pump to vacuum out the air, though you can usually use your own vacuum hose attachment as well. 

Replace all of your plastic food storage with these glass ones. You can take them straight from the fridge to the microwave easily. The glass containers are microwave safe and easy to clean.

If you stand in the kitchen doing a lot of cooking and cleaning, you’ll definitely want to snag this anti-fatigue mat that can help minimize back, leg and foot pain. It boasts anti-skid backing to stop it from sliding around and is stain- and fade-resistant. 

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. I couldn't even last long enough to do my dishes before getting these mats. Thank you, thank you! Amazing product!"

It never hurts to stock up on dishwasher pods, especially when they're on sale. These ones clean even the toughest burnt-on food, lifts food soils and removes them from your dishware without pre-rinsing.

If your house is too dark at night, help is here. Automatic sensors turn these LED cuties on when there's no more light. They're tiny but bright enough to help you navigate around the home. At $8 for six, you're getting each of these for around $1.30 each.

They're incredibly energy efficient, too. Says one homeowner: "They only use less than half a watt of power—that’s a tenth of what a 4-watt standard C-4 incandescent night light bulb uses, so if you want to use more than one you still save money."
