Some of our favorite things start off as a recommendation from a friend. Whether they swear by a skincare gem, a cleaning must-have or just something to make dinner prep a little less exhausting, we rely on those in the know to give us the scoop on what really works. Now, imagine you had access to the opinions of tens of thousands of friends from all different walks of life — if that many people rally behind something, it must be good, right?

No need to join any new social media groups; instead, trust the opinions of Amazon reviewers. They know how to differentiate something gimmicky from something great, and chances are, when hoards of them swear by something, it’s the real deal.

If you’re tired of never knowing which batteries you have around (and whether you even have enough to juice up your remote) you need this organizer. It’s the best way we’ve found to keep batteries from making a mess in your catchall drawer. You can even use it to test old batteries for signs of life.

“This is just what we needed!” shared one happy shopper. “I was able to take a bunch of random bags and boxes of batteries and organize them all into one little box. I felt like I was forever searching for batteries and I never knew if they were new or old. We would also constantly buy batteries when we needed them because we never knew if we had any at home. It’s a little victory but this is one step closer to my house being truly organized.”

If your pooch or feline is a shedding machine, this Hertzgo brush might help — and it’s 50 percent off right now. Unlike other similar brushes that only work on short or long coats (but never both) this one is designed to tackle all coat lengths. It gently detangles, plus it helps release any dirt or dander that might’ve accumulated in your pet’s fur.

“I brushed off enough cat hair to have another cat,” shared a shopper. “…I’m starting to think Porkins doesn’t even have any skin, she must be made entirely of fur as it NEVER ENDS. She’s completely passed out now from all the brushing, she loved it. The push button to retract the bristles is fantastic and makes for easy clean-up! Totally worth every penny, and I’m sure Porkins would agree as well if she understood the basic concept of monetary values.”

Whether your cat is perpetually bored and getting into trouble, or simply needs more exercise, this $2 solution will keep them dancing, quite literally, for hours. All it is is a steel wire with a spring and rolled cardboard fixed to the end, but it does the trick to keep curious kitties out of your hair.

Over 20,000 owners of feline friends swear by it, too. “If you say ‘cat dancer toy’ my cats come running,” one happy reviewer says. “This is great news for our twenty-pound senior cat. He is actually getting up and moving quite a bit, hence we purchased two more…. It’s just amazing to everyone in our household how something so simple (and inexpensive) can be their favorite. They beg for this, while the expensive toys sit. Why not give it a try?”

Whether you’re plagued by the occasional blemish or have some stubborn blackheads that just won’t go away, this single-ingredient clay just might be the solution. The tub comes with a pound of 100 percent natural calcium bentonite clay which you can use as a spot treatment, mask, foot soak or even a hair mask. All you need to do is mix it with water or apple cider vinegar, then apply the paste and leave on for up to ten minutes.

“This is the best mask!” shared one of over 47,000 five-star reviewers. “Used it back in the day for my acne and now that I’m almost 30 I’m using it for age prevention! I have a lot of dry skin issues including psoriasis, and this works wonders!”

Yellow putty might seem like a strange way to clean tough-to-reach dirt and grime, but once you try it for yourself, you’ll become a believer. ColorCoral Universal Dust Cleaner The product is made with a biodegradable gel that’s sticky enough to pick up dirt in small spaces. All you have to do is roll the gel over the area you want to clean, give it a second to pick up the muck, then peel it off the surface and watch as the hard-to-reach dirt comes free. Gross, but also amazing.

“I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with dog hair and random crumbs from my husband, and it works amazing,” one fan says. “It picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. This definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies.”

If you have ever found yourself reaching into the backseat, desperately searching for your purse, Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling Car Cache Purse Holder is for you. Fasten the hooks between the driver’s and passenger’s seat to form an easy-to-reach hammock that cradles your essentials. It also doubles as an excellent barrier to keep your dog from jumping into the front seat.

“I love this car cache,” one reviewer raves. “It’s a great solution to a common problem. My purse was either in the back or on the dirty floor between my seat and gas pedal (not safe). Now my purse stays clean, is easy to reach, and out of the way.”

If you dread mopping more than any other chore, these fuzzy slippers might be the antidote. They come in a set of 10 for just $15 right now, and they’re designed to be worn over your shoes so that you can effectively dust and mop your floor just by walking across it as you normally would. No more back-breaking pain! Plus, it’s kind of fun, which means you can easily rope the kids in your life to help.

“I have never had wood floors before and I have two huge hairy cats — big hair problem!” lamented one shopper. “The slippers are big, so I wear them over my regular house slippers. Then I skate, slip, and slide over the floors as the cats chase me! We have a lot of fun while cleaning up the cat hair. The slippers do very well picking up the cat hair — amazing.”

At first glance, this shower curtain liner might not look like much. Don’t be fooled, though — the Liba liner is the creme de la creme of bathroom necessities. For starters, it’s two and a half times thicker than other liners, plus it doesn’t accumulate soap scum. It doesn’t smell funky — unlike some other liners — and it’s completely waterproof, so it dries instantly.

“This is the Cadillac of shower curtains!” one shopper shared of the No. 1 bestseller. “No smell, plus, we’ve got really hard water, and it’s only been a couple of weeks of use, and I’m sure it will eventually spot, but so far so good. Nice oversized curtain as well, covers the corners well. The weight of it makes it hang well too.”

Have you heard of the TubShroom and its mighty ability to catch all the hair in your shower drain before it even thinks of clogging? If not, you will be amazed by this mini gadget that fits snuggly inside your drain to catch hair. When it comes time to clean it out, just wipe it off, throw away the unwanted hair and place it back in your drain. Sorry plumbers of the world, but we no longer need your services.

This fan raves, “I was skeptical about this little rubber strainer, but I needed something to save my drains from the piles of hair that fall out of my head. I tried others and they all failed miserably. This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don’t think a single hair slipped by it. It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn’t clogging my drain.”

If you’re anything like me, then you’re incessantly annoyed by the unending blinking blue lights that come with all electronics. Some are even bright enough to wake me up at night! Fortunately, LightDims stickers offer a simple solution — and they’re on sale right now. They come in a variety of sizes and dim LED lights on electronics so you no longer have to deal with the brightness.

“I have a media PC in my living room under my TV and directly across from the main couch. The LED is extremely bright and obnoxious, especially in low-light situations…[These stickers] dimmed the LED a perfect amount. I can definitely still see that the PC is on, but without the annoying blue beacon that can be seen from space,” this reviewer shares.
