This No. 1 bestselling, TikTok-famous compact carpet cleaner packs a punch, especially considering it weighs less than 10 pounds! Its powerful suction can be used to remove stains not just from rugs, but furniture and even car upholstery, too. Plus, it comes with a self-cleaning hose tool and a bottle of Bissell’s Spot & Stain with Febreeze. We haven’t seen this viral cleaner priced much lower than it currently is in years (it was only a few bucks cheaper back in July for Prime Day) — and when you consider how much money it’ll save you in professional cleaning bills (and replacement furniture), it’ll pay for itself in just a few uses.

The user-friendly touchscreen lights up while in use and features time and temperature settings (from 90-400 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as four functions: Air Fry, Roast, Reheat and Dehydrate, the latter of which is a cool feature that isn’t always included with air fryers.

If you get stressed when you’re out and about and notice your phone’s battery is at 13%, this portable charger duo is a must. They’re slim and compact enough to keep stashed in your bag at all times, and each one has two USB ports for charging multiple devices at a time.
