Can we all agree that summer is the best season? Yes? I thought so. Backyard barbecues or front lawn frolicking — it's made for fun. And while an emerald green backdrop isn't required for all your summer party plans, it sure does help. If you've crashed into one too many speedbumps to get that idyllic garden going, there's one thing that might get you where you want to go: the Pocket Hose Copper Bullet Expandable Garden Hose. If you happened to catch the commercial for this As Seen On TV fave when you were dozing off, now's your chance to get it on sale.
It might resemble an electric toothbrush, but you'll want to use this little gizmo for busting away messes in the tiny corners and crevices of your home. We're taking bathroom tile grout, fridge gaskets, around faucets — anything you don't feel like cleaning by hand, since it scrubs a whopping 60 times per second! We don't often see it on sale for less than it is now, but we have seen it priced at over $20. And given how much time and energy it'll save you, $17 is a real bargain!
"The Rubbermaid Power Scrubber is amazing!" exclaimed an impressed user. "Not only does it get the water stains out of the tile grout, but it’s small enough to get into the crevices of the shower door and side panels. Black gunk I had never even seen was streaming down, with very little effort from me. Best of all, no pain in my hands from my carpal tunnel syndrome." (Psst: I'm also a fan — check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber review!)
Treat your tush to the oh-so-refreshing spray of this popular bidet, which allows you to adjust the water pressure to your liking.

You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge (though it has a 12V DC adapter just in case). You can also use it on basketballs, bike tires and balloons. It sells out frequently, so snag it while it's down to as low as it ever gets.
Look at you being all proactive! This No. 1 bestselling kit can minimize the risk of dryer-related house fires, as it'll do a more thorough job than simply wiping out the lint. Just attach it to your vacuum — you'll be amazed by how much it sucks up.

With the fancy sprayer, your thirsty lawn and sunbaked garden will thank you.
Anytime a gizmo can knock off effort from a chore, we consider it a good buy, but this one comes with a discount. Not only will you save more than a few bucks on it, you'll save yourself some time and headaches so you can enjoy your summer, too.
This bad boy is what your parched garden is begging for. The most notable feature on this magical hose is how it expands when you need to do your watering and it contracts when it's time to put it away. According to its inventor, "It stretches and expands like a rubber band and when you turn off the water away it goes shrinking and squeezing that water out until it's practically bone dry."
How does it do all that? Well, this hose has three layers of heavy-duty latex on the inside — that makes it both stretchy and puncture-resistant. To reinforce its strength, it's then wrapped in a polymer filament like hoses used by firefighters. On top of all that, it's infused with real copper — the brand says it keeps your water clean and lead-free. If you grew up drinking water from a hose (Gen Xers, we're looking at you) rather than an emotional support water bottle, this is definitely a bonus.
In addition to the hose, this deal comes with a fancy sprayer. It has ten unique settings so you can give your lawn a spray and your precious petals a good misting. Concerned about water pressure? You can adjust it with the easy-to-use thumb wheel.
Amazon gardeners are in awe of this hose.
"I love this hose," said a fan. "It is perfect in every way. My old hose was such a pain really long and heavy and tangles etc etc. so hard to wrap around the hose holder etc, this one is so light and easy and [has] no tangles. The sprayers all work really great too. I will never use any other kind of hose again. LOVE THIS HOSE! I was going to buy the 50ft hose but didn't need to, this one stretches a long way."
"Since I spend a lot of time in my yard with my plants, I needed a hose that doesn’t make my job harder," wrote another rave reviewer. "I wanted a lightweight hose that is easy to put away. This hose did that and much more. The hose itself is easy to maneuver around rocks & other obstacles in my yard. As I feel less tired than usual and have a sense of accomplishment using it, I can declare this my dream hose. This hose made my yard work so much easier. I’m actually looking forward to watering my thirsty plants in the future!"
Some shoppers say the hose might need a little bit of care when you put it away.
"I was really glad to order this hose," a landscaping shopper shared. "The only comment I would make is that it doesn’t wind up nicely and neatly like the picture. It just retracts into a pile but is easy to store in a pot or wind up on the faucet handle. We don’t have particularly high water pressure at our house, but with this hose, it really comes out hard and fast."
"Did realize not to wind it in my crank hose feeder as it will fray a little, but love its lightweight construction," wrote another gardener. "Need to be prepared when turning off water spigot it will shrink quickly so must have it in a clearance situation otherwise it can catch your foot or a table. The nozzle is the best on the market for sure."
