The nontoxic, rust-proof shell protects your fridge from funk — you know, the bad kind. (Getty)(Getty Images)
We've all been there: A forgotten to-go container finds its way to the back of the fridge and lurks there long past its expiration date. The next thing you know, you're getting slapped in the face by an overwhelming stench as you open the door. Boxes of baking soda can only do so much to squelch unsavory smells. For those stubborn odors, you need something stronger — like the popular (as in, purchased more than 30,000 times in the past month) Purriko Deodorizer. This smart little doodad uses advanced decomposition techniques to eliminate odors effectively, lasting up to a decade before needing a replacement. Think that sounds good? Get a load of this: It's currently on sale for just $22 at Amazon.
Work can be stressful enough without having to endure a stuffy office. Keep cool this summer courtesy of this little (and, given that it's 6 inches tall, I do mean little) wonder that plugs right into your laptop — or any compatible device — via USB cable. It has multiple speeds to choose from, and it's so compact that you can even take it on the go. Oh yeah, and it's 40% off.
This might be the coolest (pun intended) gadget I've seen all year. No, misting devices are nothing new, but this one does triple duty as a pedestal and tabletop fan. It can be used indoors or outside, has up to an impressive 70-foot reach and can lower temps by as much as 12°. There are five speeds and two breeze modes to choose from, oscillating and tilting options ... in short, if you're looking to cool down this summer, you can't go wrong. Did I mention it just dipped to an all-time low price to boot?
If the thought of making ice cream at home is intimidating to you, these have your name on them. Really, they couldn't be easier to use — just make sure your mugs are frozen for at least 24 hours, then mix up your ice cream base (there's a recipe book included). Once your mugs are sufficiently chilled (you want them to be really cold), you'll add your base, turn 'em on and they'll start churning away. You can also add mix-ins of your choosing via the pour chutes while they're running, and in about 20 minutes, you'll have ice cream. Simple, right?
This duo rarely dips lower than this, so scoop 'em up for their lowest price in over a year.
If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the limited-time discount brings this top-selling model down to an all-time low. Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.
No one likes a stinky fridge! Keep odors at bay with this deodorizer that can last for up to a decade (yes, 10 whole years). Simply place it on a shelf and let it do its job.
More than 3,600 Amazon customers give it five stars and say it really works. "Having boiled eggs and onions in the refrigerator at the same time can be horrific," said one. "Baking soda cannot mask the smells, so I bought this to try, and to my surprise, it actually does make the refrigerator smell fresh. ... I would give it 10 stars if I could."
Get unstuck with a set of smooth, easy-to-use pans. The white granite surface is PFOA-free (but it also comes in black if that's more your style).
This 14-piece cookware set just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands.
I don't expect this sturdy hand vac to conk out anytime soon, but when it does, I'll be ordering another one right away.
When it's too hot to turn on the oven, it's this compact countertop cooker to the rescue. With one-touch settings for fish, chicken, meat and fries, it'll have a meal on the table in minutes, and with little to no oil. Plus, it's less than a foot wide, so it won't take up much space. This over-40% markdown is the best I've seen, and there's also a model with a viewing window on sale for just $5 more.
Why keep tripping over bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, shampoo, conditioner and emollients) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall.
Lying out on the deck or by the pool is about to get even more heavenly, thanks to these ergonomic chaises that'll make you feel like you're floating. The backs and footrests can be adjusted to your desired angle, and each chair includes a built-in tray with two cupholders. This $22 discount brings them to their best price in months.
Get those pesky pests back for years of itchy bites, courtesy of these tennis racquet-like zappers. Unlike your standard fly swatter, these have 3,000-volt grids to shock bugs — just wave one at 'em, and you'll hear the satisfying sound of them being fried to a crisp. (Ew, but better than letting them take over your patio!) They also have bases, so you can prop them up on a table to lure mosquitoes. They're within a dollar of their lowest price yet, so grab 'em for a more tolerable bug season.
Swimming in a pool? Fun. Cleaning a pool? Not fun. Let this aquatic robovac do a lot of the dirty work for you. It'll suck up dirt and debris at the bottom of the pool and run for up to 150 minutes before needing to be juiced up. It also comes with a hook so you can retrieve your new favorite gadget without getting wet, and this is its lowest price since, well, ever.
Is it even summer until you've had a cone of the cold stuff? Senior Home Writer Lisa Schweitzer had the arduous task of searching for the best ice cream scoops, and this popular pick made the cut. "This aluminum ice cream scoop has been around since 1935 and is a favorite among editors and professionals for its ability to scoop near-perfect orbs," she says. "The handle is filled with heat-conductive liquid that captures the warmth of your hand and flows down to the scoop to ensure easy ice cream scooping and releasing." (Psst: It's also the one used by frozen treat pros, including Tyler Malek, co-founder of Salt & Straw ice cream, and Christina Seid, owner of Chinatown Ice Cream Factory.)
Schweitzer did name it "best splurge ice cream scoop," so snag it while you can save a few bucks.
If it's as hot and humid where you live as it is where I am, you know that even walking through the grocery store parking lot can warrant a second shower. This little accessory can help you keep your cool — in the literal sense — just about anywhere, whether you're running into the store or standing over a hot stove. It's compact, lightweight and has a battery that lasts for up to 16 hours. Plus, this is as low as it's been all year.
You know how that counter space surrounding your sink always seems to be wet? This unassuming organizer — which was purchased more than 9,000 times in the past month alone — is about to change that. It has three compartments for holding sponges, brushes, soap and more, as well as a clever water run-off ramp to keep excess moisture from pooling. Oh, and this is as low as it's ever been marked down to.
"Exceeded my expectations by miles!" confessed a caddy convert. "It’s the perfect size for next to my kitchen faucet, the dividers are adjustable [and] hold everything I need and the slope it has ensures water does not sit on my wood butcher block counter, which is crucial! I wish I had found this a long time ago!"
When I say that this is my parents' new obsession, I'm not exaggerating; in the past week, I've received over a dozen texts about the pizzas they're making in it. According to them, it's extremely user-friendly, works quickly and the pies "taste wood-fired," thanks to the fact that it reaches 800° F, resulting in a nicely charred crust.
It's currently within a few bucks of its all-time lowest price, so if the idea of hosting warm-weather pizza parties a-"peels" to you, I'd recommend adding it to your cart while the slice is right. (I'll stop now.)
Groceries are expensive, and preparing overcooked, inedible food is just money down the drain. Avoid that by taking the temperature of your meats, seafood, baked goods and more — doing so helps ensure everything is perfectly (and safely) cooked. This popular gadget provides a reading in seconds and is down to its lowest price in months, so grab one before your next cookout.
Amazon's No. 1 selling electric pressure cooker is the Instant Pot Duo Plus, and it's close to half off right now (its lowest price in months!). It can pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sauté, make rice, make yogurt, sterilize things and warm food. So if you want an appliance to help you prep meals this fall for tailgates and school nights, or just love a hearty stew, it's worth grabbing it while it's on sale.
"The cooking performance is outstanding," said one impressed customer. "Meals that used to take hours to prepare are now ready in a fraction of the time, without compromising on flavor or texture. The Instant Pot Duo Plus consistently produces tender, flavorful dishes, from perfectly cooked rice to fall-off-the-bone meats."
Prefer to let someone — or, something — else do the dirty work for you? With detailed home-mapping functionalities, this dust-zapper is about to get up close and personal with your floors (while you get some R&R on the couch). Need another selling point? Its collection bin can hold up to 60 days' worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as two months without having to clean it out, saving you even more time.
As far as its actually vacumming performance is concerned, this small yet mighty robovac is powerful enough to zap up everything from the kids' crumbs to Fido's fur, and its 360° LiDAR vision allows it to sense and move around any larger objects and furniture it comes across. The Matrix Clean feature encourages it to work in a grid pattern for more thorough coverage, and you can schedule cleanings or ask it to focus on a specific area via the SharkClean app or even your voice (it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant).
The only time I've seen it on sale for less than it is now is Black Friday, so add it to your cart while you can save 50%.
This nifty fridge lazy Susan was designed to maximize space (while minimizing food waste). It's rectangular to make the best use of your fridge shelves, and it rotates 360 degrees so you can easily see — and remember — everything you have before it spoils.
"Gone are the days of old sauces, jars and containers getting stuck in the back of the fridge to turn into a forgotten fuzzy science experiment," shared an impressed shopper. "This amazing turntable makes everything on the tray really easy to grab and find, we are a lot less wasteful because we have access to it all on the turntable. We love it!"
This deodorizer is down to its lowest price since last summer, so it might be a while before we see another discount. One thing's for sure — it'll cost more than $22 in baking soda to keep your fridge fresh for 10 years.
No one likes a stinky fridge. It's unappealing, especially when you're going in for a midnight snack. Worse than that, those scents can seep into food and water. While keeping a clean fridge is the best way to minimize odors, things happen — a takeout box is forgotten, or a container leaks mystery liquid onto the shelf. With the Purriko, you don't have to worry about smells lingering long past cleaning time.
This is also an environmentally friendly option. The stainless steel shell and the filtering core have a 10-year lifespan, with nothing you need to replace. It just works, saving you from needing to buy any refills. Of course, this means it's a passive filter — it works more slowly than a powered air filter, but it also works consistently instead of only when it's powered on. One of these deodorizers covers 18 cubic feet of fridge space.
A lot of people count on this gadget to keep odors away, and it has over 6,300 five-star ratings.
"This is amazing!" raved one satisfied sniffer. "I washed my refrigerator out three times with baking soda and vinegar, even tried spraying it with stuff to cover the odor; still couldn't get it out. Put this little device inside, two hours later it was noticeably better, and 12 hours later, no odor at all!"
A second reviewer echoed that praise: "I've tried many, many baking soda boxes over the years, odor crystals and just about every other product for odor control in a refrigerator … and this little gem is it! I am so happy I stumbled onto this. ... It's attractive, one piece, easy to set and forget and, best of all, it works! Have one in my refrigerator and one in my freezer."
A pet parent even said it can eliminate that dreaded dog smell: "I have three medium/large dogs who sleep in a small room. ... It always smells like dog in there. I didn't think it would work because this room is like 7 feet by 10 feet; I figured even if the product worked, the room would be too big for it to work effectively. After about 36 hours, I came downstairs this morning to let out my dogs, and there is no smell of dogs."
While many users say it's effective at minimizing most smells, a few noted that it has one stubborn opponent: onion. "I have no idea how this thing works, but it does!" exclaimed an allium adversary. "I will say that it does not get rid of onion smell, but not sure anything does. That is the only time I have any smell — if I have cut an onion and put it in the fridge. Every fridge needs one of these bad boys!"
Others warn that patience is key. "My mother recently moved into my home and makes and stores batches and batches of kimchi, fish paste, fish sauces, garlic, etc.: things I don't normally keep in my home," explained a final fan. "I purchased this item and expected immediate results. After several hours, there was no change. I left it overnight, and in the morning I noticed a slight change. By the evening, the odors were GONE. I am saying this to say, if you're dealing with strong smells, you may need to give this item a chance to work. It has restored balance into our home!"
And here's another fun fridge find:
