It also has three different lighting modes, all of which charge up with the sun and turn on automatically at dusk, so it’s cord- and battery-free.

These solar garden lights are super popular on Amazon, with over 6,000 sold in the last month. Why are people stocking up on these? Not only are they easy to install with a single stake, but the individual lights are flexible and sway in the breeze.

This shower filter has an overall 4.4-star rating from almost 50,000 reviewers, some of whom report softer skin, healthier hair, and even a “a significant reduction in dandruff and eczema flare-ups.” It installs ahead of most showerheads without the need for tools. Then it uses a four-layer filtration system to remove sediment, chlorine, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals before infusing the water with vitamin C and revitalizing minerals.

There are several reasons why reviewers have called this high-pressure shower head “so convenient and helpful.” For one, it self-cleans its nozzles and maximizes flow, so even those with low water pressure experience a huge improvement. For another, the head has a mount and an 8-foot hose, so it’s great for post-surgery showers and bathing pets. Finally, it has a special “power-washing” setting, which helps you get all that grime and soap scum off the shower walls while cleaning.
