An automatic pot stirrer, extension arm with a claw, jar opener, and more to make living on your own a breeze.
This wagon is AMAZING. Seriously, borderline life changing. My only regret is not buying this sooner. You can use it for practically anything, which I *loved* when I was living alone in an apartment building because bringing my clothes up and down from the laundry room was exhausting otherwise. I also tend to get a lot of packages, so I'm pretty sure this wagon has saved me from some back/wrist/arm/body pain at this point. Plus, I was *extra* grateful for this wagon on moving days. It also folds up and has super convenient cupholders. It's 110% worth the investment, in my opinion!

Promising review: "After downsizing and being alone, it was time to adjust to cooking for one. Bringing home family-size bargains is easier to deal with when using the vacuum sealer. Any food can be prepared in single-serve size. Food is ready to grab from the freezer quickly. I eat healthily and economically. The vacuum sealer preparation of the food means it is protected from freezer burn and lasts longer; therefore, you can have more variety in meals, and it’s so easy. The food can be defrosted in the bags, used in the sous-vide machine, or prepared in the microwave. Specialty diet meals can be prepared ahead, so on a busy day, eating is still a pleasure and healthful." —Peacock Diva

Promising review: "Do you live in a condo or apartment and just need to reach higher up in a cupboard or closet more often than you would in a single-family home? Then grab this foldable little gadget. It fits nicely between washers/dryers or in an AC closet and helps with cleaning, storing, etc." —Karla

Promising review: "I love this doorbell! It makes me feel so much safer when I am at home and lets me relax a little more when I am away. I love being able to replay past events and talk to anyone who comes to the door. I would recommend this product to everyone living alone!" —christinae16

Promising review: "WOW! This sofa was incredibly easy to assemble. It took longer to get it out of the boxes than it did to put it together. The light gray color is beautiful, and the couch is comfortable. I purchased it for my mother when she comes to stay, and there's plenty of room for her to lay across it when the bed is easily pulled out. I LOVE the extra storage underneath. —Heidi

Promising review: "I didn't read the size description well, and this was larger than expected, but it turns out to be even better that way! The tray that sits at the top of the box is very useful, and the bottom compartment is divided into two sections, which keeps everything tidy. The red color is highly visible, and it's perfect for our myriad bandages, tapes, gauzes, etc. It fits quite a lot inside. I've already purchased the wall-mounted version from the same company that's more within the dimensions I need. I can tell it's going to hold up well over time." —Chelsea

Promising review: "I live alone, and this is perfect! I never have to decide what level (8, 10, or 12) to set the Keurig. How ever much water you add is how much comes out. Just fill your coffee cup with water, pour it in, and you get the perfect amount. Also, it takes up so much less room than other models in my small apartment kitchenette." —Russell

Promising review: "Let me tell you...this small tool works wonderfully!! I used this two times. It is so easy on your hands, adjusts to the size of the jar or can, and with a little lift and twist...VOILA! I am very satisfied and impressed! I love it! My new favorite tool in the kitchen! Very recommended!" —Biviana

Promising review: "I love this Bamboo Bath Caddy. It fits perfectly in my tub. I love that it has adjustable side rails. It’s very sturdy, with adjustable slots for my book or iPad and, most importantly, a safe slot to hold my wine and an area to hold a phone safely. Very happy I decided to purchase this. Makes my relaxation time that much more enjoyable." —LYoung

Promising review: "I needed an extra long extension arm to reach the garbage that blows under my steps outside. I can pick up the smallest of papers and leaves with this! I also have used it to open and close blinds in my house that are in the stairwell. Worth the price if you need a long extension arm! I have had mine for almost two years." —Sandra
