31 Home Products Reviewers Don’t Regret Buying — Except For Wishing They’d Bought ‘Em Sooner

31 Home Products Reviewers Don’t Regret Buying — Except For Wishing They’d Bought ‘Em Sooner

1.Detergent cup holders that'll make you whisper "Where have you been all my life?" when you do laundry. Gone are the days of wiping up soapy puddles that dripped onto the floor.

Tidy-Cup is a woman-owned small business started after the founder, Julie Reinhold, was tired of detergent containers dripping all over her laundry room floor.

Promising review: "A perfect solution for liquid detergent issues. Wish I would have bought it sooner! Finally something to keep the laundry detergent drips off the floor and washing machine. This keeps the cup right where it needs to be and protects your equipment, walls, and floors from drips. It does cause more buildup in the cup over time. But we have found if you just drop the cup into the washer every couple of loads it cleans it and works great. You can also pull these off easily and wash in the sink if they start to get buildup." —D. Fox

Promising review: "I had tried four different cleaners before discovering this one and I wish I would have found it sooner! All of that caked-on liquid that runs out of the pans and burns into the stovetop while you’re cooking?? This removes all of it.

I regret not taking before and after pictures.I have tried everything under the sun and regret not trying this sooner.I was skeptical because I saw it on TikTok. BUY IT!!!!!! Can’t wait to try it on the shower! [Best] stuff I’ve ever used!" —Courtney

"This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door.It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It’s great. You won’t be disappointed." —Amazon Customer

I’ve bought pillows online many times but nothing compared. This is the first pillow I’ve ever bought that didn’t hurt my neck or make me regret spending the money. I will absolutely be ordering another set! Absolutely the comfiest pillow, you won’t regret it.

Promising review: "I love this thing!!! My kids were constantly leaving cereal open or spilling it when they pour. This has been great.

Promising review:"Where has this product been my whole life!?! The only reason people don’t use this product is because they don’t know it exists. I will never go back to regular shower rings again.It is SO much easier to change out shower liners this way and takes maybe two minutes instead of the tedious waste of time that is unhooking the regular shower rings. I highly recommend this for everyone and see no downside to it. I wish I had discovered this sooner." —Resipsamew

Promising review: "I keep this light next to my coffee maker so that I can get up at dark:30 and make coffee without turning on lights and signaling to everyone that I'm awake (this is how I preserve my quiet coffee time, LOL). The light turns on with a single, long touch, and works like a charm!! Wish I would have bought it sooner." —shaeleymae

16.Wet & Forget cleaner to keep your shower sparkling clean *and* mildew-free. Simply pray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean the next day. Start drafting an apology letter to former you for all the hours lost to scrubbing and wiping.

Promising reviews:Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but this product exceeded my expectations! I've used it once a week for the last couple of months, and my shower has remained impeccably clean without any need for scrubbing. My bathroom counter had a weird black residue that regular cleaners and scrubbing couldn't remove. After the first application, most of the residue came off with light scrubbing, and after the second application, all of it was gone. I wish I'd discovered this spray sooner!" —Claire W.

17.A life-saving ChomChom pet hair remover roller for pet parents who love their fur baby but notthe hair problem. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when you're done! It has over 135,00 5-star ratings for a reason, people.

Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy it, and I have absolutely no regrets. My cat is a shedder, and she has no boundaries, so she sleeps anywhere and gets fur everywhere. Lint rollers worked great, but I had to use multiple sheets at a time to get the job done and constantly buy refills. The paddle-type lint rollers were okay, but difficult to clean. This is so easy to use and cleans itself. It picks up fur with just a couple of passes, and it’s one of the best things I ever bought on Amazon. If you have a pet, you need this." —Dorene

"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors/styles).

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Because of my long hair and a cat, I vacuum daily. This product is so lightweight. I can run it over hardwood, tiles, and rugs easily. Picks up hair, dust, dry particles extremely well. It will get additional hair from rug after vacuuming. I can skip a day with just a quick sweep. I should have bought it sooner.I like the extension pole design." —Winter

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in six styles).

19.FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder that'll make it much easier to dispose of leftover cooking grease. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, then scoop it into the trash. You'll soon wonder how you dealt with leftover grease before this revelation.

Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore!This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two styles).

20.A pack of kitchen sink strainers when you're so done fishing out smelly food bits from the drain. Place it in the opening and remove it when it's time to toss the scraps in the trash. Why you don't already own this is beyond comprehension, tbh.

Promising review: "Wished I had bought these sooner! So much better than any of the plastic/rubberized ones that stain. These metal strainers do not move around and they catch so much gunk that doesn't go down the drains now. Easy to clean in the sink with a brush or throw them in the dishwasher on occasion to clean. I've had these for a few months now and they are just as shiny as the day I bought them and they keep so much debris from going down the drains. Very useful items." —RSU

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

21.A gorgeous storage ottoman, which is living proof that home accents can also be functional. Pop your remotes, books, or candles inside and they'll be out of sight until you need 'em.

www.amazon.com,Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray. It's also sturdy enough to sit on if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes, and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!)."

Promising review: "What's not to love? The color and fabric is both beautiful and a nice quality of velvet. It is easy to assemble, attach the legs and you are done. It is sturdy and does not wobble. The storage is nice and the table part is also well constructed. (I used it to eat my dinner). I have sat on it and it is fine. I wish I had found this sooner is my only regret." —nUSA

Promising reviews: "Why didn’t I get this sooner? Need more in my life." —Joan Rodriguez

"I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95.

23.A heat-resistant masher to greatly reduce your cooking time by breaking up ground meat more efficiently. It's nonstick and dishwasher-safe, so the only thing you have to feel bad about is how much time you've wasted doing this with a flimsy rubber spatula.

Promising review: "I wish I would have bought this so much sooner! I feel like every cook needs this in their kitchen. This is so helpful, especially when trying to break up other meats than beef — nothing breaks down the same way beef does and tends to stay in big chunks. This handles everything like a dream! Excellent purchase! Very well made — not flimsy at all. Super high quality!" —TAV

Promising review: "This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles.The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life.I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Promising review: "I can’t tell you how many bag clips we run out of as my 9-year-old can’t open just one bag of anything, so finding this was a big help! Just hold it closed for a couple of seconds, get a good grip on your bag and slowly but steadily slide across your bag. Boom. Sealed. Wish I found this sooner!" —Candice

All you need is water to activate the formula for effective cleaning!

Promising review: "I'd never used OxiClean before a few weeks ago but, at the risk of sounding like an infomercial,I wish I'd known sooner how amazing it is. I've already used it several times to soak out stubborn stains (one was tomato sauce spilled on my kitchen rug and the stain has completely vanished).It has even worked to really brighten dull whites I've had for years. I also use it as a laundry booster in loads that need some extra love. I don't know how it works so well. I think it might be witchcraft. But whatever it is...count me in!" —Kathy H.

Promising reviews: "I bought these to replace paper towels, and I don't regret it. These are great for use in the kitchen. I will purchase more." —Shannon I

"Wish I'd known about these sooner!I tried a few others, none better than a washcloth, which is obviously subpar for cleaning kitchen counters, etc. Then I saw rave reviews for this waffled item. They’re great; fully absorbent, rinse well quickly, and hold up to a number of washings and no shrinkage.I’ve only had them less than a month but am a full convert. We haven’t used a paper towel since." —Californiamom

With the name brand, I had to pick and choose where I used it because they do not last for more than one super dirty bathtub, or one part of a wall, or one part of the fridge. With this product, I was able to clean AN ENTIRE HOUSE WITH ONE SPONGE. And this house was DIRTY. This has seriously saved me so much money, time, and headaches." —Fifi
