Review:“What a big difference! Noise bothers me. A lot. This brings it down to a level that doesn’t bother me. I can still hear people speak so that’s a huge benefit. The plugs fit in perfectly. I am so glad I bought these!” -GSP
Review:“I like the fact that it can be a gentle cleaner when wet, but when dry, can scrub dried on food gently, but completely. Works very well on non stick pots and pans, as well as stainless steel, and on ceramic dishes. Rinses well, seems to last a very long time before replacing. Great price, very pleased.” -M. A. Sang
Review:“I absolutely love the Squatty Potty! It’s a total game-changer and makes such a difference. It’s simple, effective, and surprisingly comfortable.” -Johnna Reiter
Review:“I eat a lot of pizza and was looking for a smarter storage solution vs traditional rectangular tupperware. Tested this product out with a frozen Kirkland Signature pizza that’s about 9 inches in diameter. MORE than fit, with two extra trays and additional vertical space that easily collapsed to be more compact. I’m confident that this can hold a larger pizza with thicker slices. Overall, I’m happy with the quality of the product and see it lasting a long time. A good gift idea for a pizza lover too!” -Kevin
Review:“Takes a little practice to do it well, but only a little. Lots of fun. I filled bananas with several things including peanut butter, chocolate, Nutella, jelly, and a peanut butter and jelly mixture. It is a little difficult to clean, but the results are worth the trouble.” -justajones
Review:“Great for snacks and leftovers. Plus super easy to clean!” -Jessica
