I’m very pleased with the tidy box as it has been the perfect solution for hiding away the 6 gang extension lead behind my TV. Combined with some cable wrap, I have been able to hide and protect all the cables to and from the TV from my 2 curious kittens. @ Amazon Customer

Promising review:

I have had so many lint removers over my lifetime. All of them have been battery-operated, which has meant constantly buying really big batteries and having to keep spares because they would always die on you when you desperately needed to use them. The fact that it has a case was a plus. The actual lint remover is so tactile and comfortable to use. I like the fact that it is a plug-in, so you don’t have to worry about it stopping halfway through with batteries. I love how robust it feels, especially when removing the container with the lint in it. Overall, I am glad that I purchased it and will be purchasing another one as a gift. If you are on the fence and are wondering whether to buy it, don’t. Just get it — you won’t regret it. To the people that say it takes a long time to remove the lint from the garment, you are going to get that with any lint remover, but this is the smoothest and quickest that I have had. I also like the “lifetime replacement guarantee.” Where can you get that these days? @ Mrs. Nicola Dunning

Promising review:

I initially bought this to go hunting for “uranium” glass, the stuff that glows under UV light, but found a better use for it. If you are unsure about just how “dirty” your home is, then this is the thing for you. Switch your lights off and switch this bad boy on and stare in wonder at the filth that glows brightly in your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom! I tried it in the kitchen, and boy, do I wish I hadn’t. We are by no means dirty by our living standards, but I was amazed at how much dirt showed up under the UV light. The wife and I spent an entire day cleaning our kitchen, and I wouldn’t mind, but it’s tiny, at around 10 feet by 8 feet in size. Be careful what you shine it on, is all I will say. @ The Yorkshire Digger

Promising review:

I literally cannot stress enough how amazing these glasses are. As a receptionist who works in front of a screen all day, they have stopped my headaches, and I no longer have to squint while looking at the screen. I even wear them at home when watching TV and playing video games. They come in a lovely black case with a lens cleaner and also come with a blue light demonstration kit inside so you can see for yourself how the technology works. I even drop them quite often and leave them face down on the desk at work a lot, yet there’s not a single scratch on them. The best item I’ve ever bought and amazing value for the money, 10/10. @ Holly Saunders

6. These dishwasher signs are made with sturdy and soft magnets on the back. But there are also double-sided stickers in case your dishwasher is not magnetic. The stickers leave no residue on the surface.

The size of the magnet is 17.78 cm x 5.08 cm. The inscriptions are also clearly visible from afar. There is no longer a need to open the dishwasher to check whether it is clean or not. The smooth mechanism makes it easy to slide.

Promising review:

Easy to use. It comes with adhesive pads for those without magnetic appliances. I can’t leave a review on those, as I used the magnet. A very strong magnet — hasn’t moved since I put it on and also doesn’t move when I slide it left and right. Feels sturdy and well-made. Used this on a dishwasher — it was much easier just to look at the front to see whether it was clean or dirty without having to open it to see every time. Would definitely buy again. @ Gez

Promising review:

My fridge is only 6 months old and has developed a sour smell. Despite cleaning every inch of it, washing everything in it, and clearing the drain, the smell returned after a few days. I had bowls of coffee grinds and baking soda, and it still persisted. I bought this product, and within a couple of days, the fridge smelled fresh and has remained that way. It suctions neatly to the fridge wall and is odorless. Thoroughly recommend. @ smay

This product — Nizoral — contains ketoconazole, the active ingredient in the treatment for dandruff. It is dermatologically-tested and contains no fragrances. It is suitable for all hair types. The volume is 60 ml.

Promising review:

Fantastic for scalp dermatitis and fungal infections. You just need a very small bit to work up a nice foam, so it’s also cost-effective. Cleared up my scalp problem in just a few washes, but I’ll keep using it as I’m worried my dandruff-like scalp condition will recur if I stop. @ H. Greyling

These are a cute and cost-effective way to protect your cords. I wanted something to protect my USB cable for my MacBook from fraying. This pack is adorable, the material sort of reminds me of an AirPods case I have (hard silicone). I’m definitely going to be sharing these with friends! They are too cute not to. @ Arielle

Promising review:

I didn’t think it would make my ring that sparkly, but it would serve as a good in-between as I get it professionally cleaned annually. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this works — I swear by it now. @ Amazon Customer

What a nifty little gadget! It really does wonders for keeping your hands, tummy, or back warm. For my tummy or back, I just slip them in the waist band of my trousers. I could use 2 storage bags for when I separate it into 2 pieces. I showed them (heated) to a friend, and she promptly bought them for herself. @ GL
