Shark Steam Pocket Mop

If you haven’t had the pleasure of wiping away dirt and grime on your kitchen floor with a steam mop, prepare to have your mind blown. This Steam Pocket Mop from Shark is nearly 40% off right now — a deal you can't pass up. Comparing a regular mop and bucket to a steam mop is like comparing a rotary phone with an iPhone — the difference is impressive. All you do is fill the tank with water and plug it in. It heats up just like an iron for your clothes, only instead of smoothing out wrinkles, it makes your floors sparkle. Just ask any of the 23,000 five-star reviewers.

“This steam mop is awesome!” a happy mopper shared. “I was able to get some hard water stains off my floor from my cat’s water bowl, and when I use floor cleaner as well as the steam, my floors are a LOT cleaner than they would be with a traditional mop. There's also not that weird film that you can feel under your feet when you use a mop. The steam mop lets me mop my whole 1,000 square foot apartment in the same amount of time that it takes to vacuum it.”

If you’re into making pizza at home, you know that a regular old kitchen knife just isn’t going to cut it — but this handy pizza wheel will! The Kitchy Pizza Cutter, down to $8 right now (it's 50% off!) has a compact and ergonomic design — instead of a long handle to grip, this fits neatly in the palm of your hand and in a kitchen drawer. It also has a blade guard for safety when storing.

It slices like a dream, as more than 24,000 five-star reviewers suggest.

“I absolutely love this thing!!” wrote a satisfied customer. “So much better than a pizza cutter with a handle. This thing cuts through pizza perfectly and I never have to rip at the slices to get them to come apart like with other pizza cutters. Highly recommend!”

You don’t know the power of a generator…until you need one. If you’re planning any outdoor activities (think: family picnics at the park) or camping trips this summer, you can grab this bad boy for 38 percent off — that’s a savings of more than $100! The Enginstar Portable Power Station has 296 watt hours power capacity, giving it enough juice to charge laptops, phones, cameras and more. You can juice it using a regular wall socket or with the 12V socket of a car.

While some customers use it for computers, a lot of the rave reviews come from people who use CPAP machines.

“We live in a rural area where electrical outages happen quite frequently,” wrote a content customer. “This enables me to use my CPAP during those times when we turn off the generator.”

If you’re considering upgrading to a wireless mouse, you won’t find many deals better than this one. The Seenda Wireless Mouse, on sale for just 12 bucks, is easy to install and operates on one AA battery. But those are just a few of the reasons it has nearly 76,000 five-star reviews.

“I'm a teacher and I wanted a mouse [with] a silent click while students are testing,” said a satisfied customer. “I especially like that it goes to sleep when not in use to conserve batteries.”
