Rating: 4.5 stars across over 15,000 ratings

LifeStraw personal water filter (43% off list price)

Rating: 4.8 stars across over 122,000 ratings

In the universe of HuffPost shopping, this LifeStraw personal water purifier would be its own planet. It's a compact, handheld tool about as long as a fork that turns nearly any water safe for drinking.

Survivalist Ky Furneaux first recommended it to HuffPost, saying that anyone venturing outside should keep one handy as a precaution. “It’s light and doesn’t take up much room so it isn’t a huge inconvenience for something that may save your life,” she said, adding that “just knowing that water purification is taken care of takes a load off your mind and allows you to fully focus on other needs.”

“It can remove microplastics, bacteria, parasites and more (including E. coli, salmonella and giardia) from just about any water source," wrote in our previous coverage. "One single filter has a long lifespan, providing about 1,000 gallons of clean and safe drinking water — making it well worth the price tag.”

While this is an easy “yes” for hikers and campers navigating water sources in the great outdoors, Uribe notes it can be a smart purchase for travelers and city slickers alike. "Even if you’re not big on the great outdoors, there’s no denying that there’s enough global instability to make one a bit nervous — and the existence of natural disasters alone is a good enough reason to have one in an emergency kit," she said. Over 120,000 Amazon reviewers have helped the product earn a rare 4.8-star rating.

A nausea relief inhaler a HuffPost writer put to the test (20% off list price)

Rating: 4.4 stars across over 2,000 ratings

In previous reporting, senior shopping writer Tessa Flores wrote about her experience using Allclair nausea relief inhalers. Prone to frequent waves of nausea, Flores wrote, "Just the other day, my partner decided to cook well-done eggs — which emitted an odor that, for whatever reason, makes me want to gag. I was driven to reach for this nondescript tube, and after just a couple of inhales, the fresh and medicinal vapor in my mouth and nose completely made the uncomfortable sensation dissipate. I’ve also whipped this out while feeling queasy on the train, in cars, and even following a night of one too many alcoholic beverages and it did the trick in seconds."

The tube has the inhaler on one end and an oil dropper on the other, with both sides emitting a pleasant aroma made of natural herbs. The formula is non-medicated, and unlike other nausea relief products, it's non-drowsy, too.

Rating: 4.5 stars across over 20,000 ratings

It's even got pressure sensors to detect when you're pressing too hard, offers a two-minute timer so you can be sure you're brushing long enough, and has a two-week battery life per charge.

Rating: 4.6 stars across over 98,000 ratings

Dawn Platinum Powerwash dish spray (30% off list price)

Rating: 4.8 stars across over 127,000 ratings

We included Dawn Powerwash dish spray in some of our Prime Day roundups and were pleasantly surprised to find that it became one of the top three products across all categories in earnings the first day. Now, we bow down to the “holy grail of dish soaps” — which, by the way, can also clean countertops, laundry stains and makeup brushes, among other things. (Oh, and a little life hack for you? This stuff can kill bugs, too, according to reviewers. What can’t it do?)

Our readers aren’t the only ones who love the stuff, however: I can also personally vouch for Powerwash’s ability to cut through grease and grime with virtually no scrubbing.

Shopping writer and avid home cook Griffin Wynne, who compared themselves to Shel Silverstein’s housework-averse heroine Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout, found that Powerwash eliminated the need for scrubbing during a particularly tiresome chore. “I truly spray down my scary pile [of dishes], wait a beat, and then the gross food bits just... fall off,” they wrote in a 2022 editor’s picks roundup.

The spray, which has been called “magical,” “life changing” and “legit sorcery,” has three cleaning boosters and can remove 99% of grease and grime five times faster than other brands. The suds also activate on contact, and the spray functions lets a little go a long way and makes it easy to tackle larger dishes like pots and pans. It’s ridiculously popular and this refill pack comes with four fresh-scented bottles for less than $20.

Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner (31% off list price)

Rating: 4.4 stars across over 101,000 ratings

"Boy, am I ever glad I bought one of these a few years ago," wrote Janie Campbell, our former deals writer. "Every time I spill food on my rug — and this happens a lot — I just run for the Little Green, flip it on, spend a scant minute scrubbing and breath a sigh of relief. It gets stains out of carpet and rugs with a spray-and-scrub brush that also vacuums up the dirty water into the dirty water tank. It's saved me from soy sauce, ketchup, dollops of curry and more than one dropped sandwich."

This may just be one of the most beloved cleaning tools we share, and reviewers have given it 4.4 stars in gratitude. It also comes with a free bottle of stain-removing solution you can mix into the clean water tank.

Enjoy 11 levels of active noise canceling and a microphone system that allows you to take calls and be heard, even in noisy environments.

Promising review: "The sound and comfort is noticeable over Beats. Purchased these on sale so it was only $30 more to purchase Bose and it is worth it." — Pdx

"Honestly the prettiest music experience I've had with headphones... I love the purple.
Very comfortable too." — Carissa
