The highest rated portable steamer, an add-on bidet and an expandable cat condo

Amazon_PhoneHolders
An 8 pack of clip-on cell phone stands so you’ll never be without one
So many people have popsockets on their phones, but I don’t want to have that stuck to the back of mine. I do want the option to prop my phone when I’m watching a show or browsing. This is an eight pack of cute and colorful silicon stands with little hands on them. The holders can work to hold your phone upright horizontally, vertically or as a kind of cupholder. You can keep a few for yourself and give some to friends and family. They’re $18 or about $2.25 each. They have 212 ratings, 4.5 stars and a C from Fakespot. You’ll want to check your phone to make sure it will fit as it doesn’t fit the S+ versions of Samsung in some positions. Here’s a version that will fit larger phones, like my Samsung S8+.

The highest rated portable clothing steamer on Amazon
Amazon_Steamer
I was talking to a friend about how I wanted a stand up garment steamer, similar to this one we featured before. She said that she had one of those and that she liked using her portable steamer better. This portable steamer is just $35. It has over 2,500 ratings, 4.8 stars and an A from Fakespot. People say it heats up so fast, that it’s “a game changer” when you’re used to ironing your clothes and that they’re “shocked by how well this works.” I would love to never have to iron again.

A vacuum sealer that will keep your things fresh and prevent freezer burn
Amazon_VacuumSealer
I have a vacuum sealer that is old and often doesn’t seal properly. For under $60 I can replace it with a new one by FoodSaver. I looked through so many ratings for vacuum sealers and this one has the highest Fakespot rating with a B, 4 stars and almost 5,000 ratings. If you’re not using a vacuum sealer for your leftover meat you are missing out. This will protect your meat from freezer burn and leave it juicy, even after months in the freezer. You can also use it for sealing dry food and even protecting your items when camping, rafting or going to the beach. Reviewers say this vacuum sealer has a small footprint, that it works well to seal food, and they like how affordable it is.

A set of four color coded cutting boards for specific things
Amazon_CuttingBoards
Last week we featured that cutting board with separate mats for specific items like meat, fish and vegetables. Several of you had it and liked it. This is a set of four color coded 8.5 x 11.7 cutting boards with little icons to indicate what you use them for. It comes in a cute metallic holder. It has 4.4 stars, 151 ratings and a C from Fakespot, making its adjusted rating still quite good. People like that you can put them in the dishwasher, say they look nice on the countertop, and that they last a long time.

A modular expandable cat condo will be your cat’s favorite spot
Amazon_CatCondos
My ex had the sweetest little orange and brown calico cat which slept in a shoebox next to his bed. Cats love boxes and this is a cute set of two boxes with a little bridge between them. They come in white, brown, and giraffe print. You can buy multiple sets to combine them into different setups and shapes. They have 4.1 stars, 153 ratings and an A from Fakespot. Cat owners say their cats love it and play and sleep in the cubes all day, that it’s strong and withstands cats jumping on it, and that it’s great for bunnies too.

A clip on silicon strainer that has so many uses
Amazon_CliponStrainer
I’m constantly dragging out the big colander even for little jobs like draining and rinsing cans of beans. This clip on strainer works on most pots and comes in black, blue, green and red. It has 4.4 stars, 592 ratings and a B from Fakespot. Reviewers call this so much more convenient than a regular colander, say that it’s not affected by heat, and that it stays in place even when draining heavy items like potatoes.

An add-on bidet for affordable at home luxury
Amazon_AddonBidet
I’m moving to a new house and I would love to have a bidet on my toilet as that seems like such a luxury. This add-on bidet attaches under your toilet and is just $35 for the cold water-only version. Installation looks easy, as is shown on a video on the product page. This has over 12,000(!) ratings, 4.5 stars and an A from Fakespot. This is said to be easy to install and to work great, but you’ll want to put the pressure setting on low because high is said to be powerful. I want it!

    My husband got me that exact bidet and it is worth every dollar. Honestly, sounds weird but one of the most practical presents I’ve ever received.

    • Celebitchy says:

      OK I’m buying it, thank you! I found it on a Reddit thread of most useful Amazon products and other people were raving about it too.

    • LaUnicaAngelina says:

      I’m convinced too! I truly appreciate the feedback from commenters on here. Thanks!

    • lagomorph says:

      One of the best things I’ve ever bought honestly. They’re easy to install too.

    • Cee says:

      Bidets are so common in my country I always go through cultural shock when abroad (except Italy. They gave us the bidet, after all) I usually have to shower after doing number 2 lol

    • NotSoSocialButterfly says:

      We have a Kohler bidet seat/commode, and I feel spoiled! It was something that was non- negotiable when we remodeled our master bath. I always check that the heated water option is on, because sometimes Mr. B turns it off, and it’s quite a shock… he’s a natural polar bear. Me, not so much!

  2. Bc says:

    I have wanted to order the bidet for a minute after visiting Italy and coastal Islamic towns and getting used to the bidet treatment, which was absolutely life changing. Problem is, i want the hot water version and i couldnt comprehend whether this bidet is reliant on your house having heated water or whether it automatically does the heating because it has a hot water button.

    • Celebitchy says:

      You have to hook it up to the hot water line. There is a video under the photo to the left of the Amazon listing with directions for hooking it up.

    • Julaine says:

      I have installed bidets on all the commodes in my home and I love, love, love them. In answer to your question, the hot water comes from a heating element within the bidet itself in the higher end models. It also heats the seat itself and has a warm air dryer. My model has a remote control that is mounted on the wall and the volume and temperature are adjustable along with several other features.

    Just ordered the kitty mat. Love these product suggestions

  4. Juliette says:

    I have a food saver and I love it, couldn’t go without one. The only issue I had was with the one where there is a switch to lock it down. Most are plastic and tend to break after a while.

    We spent a bit more & got one with no switch. Almost touchless and it’s awesome. I use it for so many things.

  5. lucy2 says:

    I’m going to look into the steamer. I had a great little one, it was perfect for taking down old wallpaper once I bought my house, but it conked out after a couple of rooms. ETA – didn’t realize it was a big unit, I’m looking for another small handheld one.

    My cats have a nylon cube they fight over, but I know if I bought them the thing with more than 1 part to share, neither would use it. I bought them the Halloween cat house from Target and they were totally uninterested.

  6. Val says:

    OK I am a bidet-stan, if that is a thing. Bought one for the hubby when he had shoulder surgery and it is seriously the best. We have the warm/cold version bought on Amazon for $50 and we both love it, cuts way down on TP use and feels so much cleaner. I am menopausal, but for that time of the month, a bidet would be fabulous. They are so cheap and easy to install, I recommend it to everyone!

  7. betsyh says:

    When I glanced at the headline, I thought the steamer and bidet were part of the cat condo. 😀 (Was the steamer a sauna? Or was it a sort of fur cleaner? And how did the bidet know how to point the water at the cat’s butt?)

  8. Tiffany says:

    I have been looking into a bidet so thank you for the recommendation. I wonder is there are ones that have LED lights on them as well. I had a LED showerhead for awhile and I just fell in love with it as the lights in my bathroom radiate quite a bit of heat.

  9. Madi says:

    Thank you! I just ordered the steamer. I appreciate not having to do the legwork of reading reviews and researching! 🙂

    • Celebitchy says:

      Oh you’re welcome! I do read the reviews and run them through fakespot. Some categories, like clothing, are tough because so many reviews are fake. I also think of things I personally want. I’m trying to tone down my amazon shopping but it’s hard!

  10. AnnaKist says:

    Ooooh, I have one of those bidet seats! I love it to bits, and don’t ever want to be without it! I can highly recommended one for your bathroom, ladies, and it’s a necessity, not a luxury!
    The cutting boards can be a neat idea, but just make sure they are scrupulously clean and utterly dry before replacing them in the storage unit, as they can harbour harmful bacteria. Also, be sure to regularly wash and dry the storage unit for the sam reason. I used to place mine upside-down in the dishwasher at least once a week. I say “used to”, because I tossed the whole thing out when the boards became quite scratched, and returned to trusty wooden cutting boards.

  11. Renee St. Aubin says:

    I’ll add to the pro-bidet peeps! I don’t have this exact one, but it’s fantastic!! And I’m all about some cat condo luxury!!

  12. Oopsydaisy says:

    If you go to the questions section for the steamer:

    Question: Are people being paid to leave a positive review or this product is just very good?
    Answer:
    People are being paid. I just wrote a review about this. When you get the product there is a note asking you to leave a 5-star review they will give you a $10 gift card.
