Promising review: "This purchase has arguably been one of the most worthwhile purchases I've ever made. I've had two of these in my house for the better part of the past eight years. The original purchase of this was caused by my wife's pregnancy. But after our daughter's birth, just the pure convenience of this device was worth its weight in gold. All I have to do is change the litter box every two to three weeks (as opposed to scooping two to three times a day). I can't overstate how much I love this. In fact, when one of them started to deteriorate (eight years was a good run), I didn't even think twice about replacing it. If you own a cat, this is a MUST-HAVE!" —bigmacattak12

10. A loose-leaf tea steeper and strainer that'll automatically dispense from the bottom when you set it on top of a cup.
Yi Yang / BuzzFeed
I ordered this after seeing a YouTuber using a similar version and it's probably one of the best things I've ever bought. Because I drink tea almost every day, this steeper gets used and thrown in the dishwasher pretty often — and it always comes out looking brand new. It dispenses automatically when it's placed on top of a cup but stops when lifted up. It comes with a little tray to catch any droplets from the bottom, but I find that it really doesn't leak at all. It definitely doesn't drip like a traditional teapot with a pour spout. I highly recommend it!

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini goldendoodle that is prissy about her paws and a standard labradoodle puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was driving me CRAZY. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

I move it to the center of the room and it’s perfect, I don’t generally need to turn it all the way up. The sound is best if you are sitting at the same level as the speaker.
