It's time to listen to the pros.
1. A slicker brush you'll wanna add to cart immediately if you have a curly-haired or double-coat breed. Its thin, tightly packed bristles are angled and have coated tips to prevent any scratches.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
There are lots of reviews from pleased pet parents of Maltipoos, poodles, goldendoodles, Maltese, Bichon Frise
Promising review: "This is the only brush he likes. He Is relaxed when you brush his hair. I had to buy two, one for grandma's house and one for our house because he runs runs and hides if you try to brush him with any other brush. No more mats for this poodle." — Liz
"This was recommended to me by my dog groomer and it works great. I have a large Labradoodle with a long coat and it's perfect to keep his coat nice and soft." — Morgan Crowe
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in three colors).
2. A grooming rake that'll help loosen tangles and lighten your pup's undercoat — without the yelps.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"It really gets out the hair from the undercoat of my Aussie without pulling and hurting her. It came highly recommended by my groomer. It really helps with shedding, pulls that undercoat out, and keeps my old girl cool in the Florida heat." — R. Smith
"This works amazing. I am a groomer, and this works really well for the clients who have dogs with a lot of undercoat that's shedding. I may get a second one for home use. And you can't beat the price!" — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
3. A reusable roller dog hair remover might have you toss your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch that both you and your dog basically live on.
See the ChomChom roller in action on TikTok!
Promising review:"I'm a pet groomer and constantly have hair on my clothes and car. This product works very well to remove hair and is easy to clean!" — Jessica Pittman
And check out this ~glowing~ review from my colleague Jenae Sitzes: "The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds."

Promising review:"I have been a professional dog groomer for over 35 years and this stuff does what it says it will.

This old dog just learned one." — sandra k. steele
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $13.49/three months).
6. A nail grinder that, according to reviewers, will be a godsend for pets who hate or can't get to the groomer but are quite good at growing talons.
Promising review:"I've got one of those dogs who doesn't like his nails touched, and he's got a devoted owner who tried clipping his nails and cut one too short, so that was traumatic for both of us! My dog gets horribly car sick, and taking him anywhere in the car creates so much angst, but he has to have those nails trimmed. The groomer suggested this product, which she actually has and uses on her own dogs, and urged me to buy it and give it a try. I ordered it and got it, and then I was scared to use it on him! But the company follow-up provided me with some helpful suggestions and a great amount of encouragement, and there is a very happy ending to this story! So I absolutely recommend it." — jazziejay5

7. Or nail clippers for impatient pets who won't sit still long enough to let you go at them with a nail grinder.

I talked to a groomer, and she suggested these. What a big difference! My big boy is very pleased with his nails, LOL. Nothing split and quick, clean cut. Ease to hold as well. Very pleased." — Susan E. Snyder

I wash her eyes every night with a child's small soft toothbrush and a small amount of this wash and in the morning I clean her eyes with Henry Schein tearstain remover on a cotton pad and her little eyes are white as snow. It's soap free and has never irritated her eyes... Love it!!" – Stacey

10. A liquid tartar remover for dogs you just add to their water bowl for a noticeable (sight and smell) reduction in plaque and stinky breath. Here's to glowing vet visits.
Promising review:" I purchased this at the recommendation of my dog's groomer. She had noticed that my dog's gums were starting to recede. I immediately started adding this to his water. At his next appointment, 4 weeks later, she could already see a big difference. The added bonus for us was that since our dog was a puppy, he had battled tear stains. I had resisted using supplements in the past as they had poor reviews. So, this product helped his teeth, stopped his tear stains, and doesn't have negative reviews.....win, win!" — Shireen S.

11. Or some dental health powder you can sprinkle on your pet's food for cleaner teeth and fresher breath.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My vet kept advising that my dog needed his teeth cleaned but he would have had to be put under anesthesia to do so. My daughter is a dog groomer and someone told her about this product. We tried it and the next time at the vet, they didn't say a word, just made a notation that his teeth could use cleaning. We hadn't been using the product for long at that time. We've continued to use it and his teeth look great. My daughter is now advising her clients to try this when they bring the subject up." — AssateagueMist
Get it from Amazon for $23 (or Subscribe & Save for $20.70/month).
12. A hair-removing glove for pets who KNOW what you're doing when you pull out a regular brush. They'll think they're getting a total treat but I'll keep our evil secret.

www.amazon.com
Promising review:" We got this at the recommendation of our groomer. Our dog is very short hair, but gets scratches and bites on herself a lot. She's a nervous little dog. This has been very soothing and has helped heal her skin. It's a little hard at first, but warms up and is easy to get out. I only need a little bit to form a film on her skin. Smells a little minty or herbally, but it doesn't linger, and the dog doesn't seem to mind. She loves having me put it on, and it has become a bonding time for us." — Jada
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
14. A doggie blow-dryer with a flexible hose and two heating settings to help transform your dog from wet mess to runway ready.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
16. A broom for pet hair to unearth all that fur stuck in your area rug you've just learned to live with by now. It also works on wood and linoleum. And the handle extends from 36 to 60 inches!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I am a dog groomer who has to clean up a lot of hair. I absolutely love this product; it makes clean-up a breeze. Hair doesn't stick to bristles like a traditional broom. It picks up dust and dirt, too. When the floor is wet, just use the squeegee side of the broom." — Kim Atwood

Check out my colleague Emma Lord's Evrilholder FURemover broom review for more satisfying before and after photos!

Promising review:"I'm a groomer. I have two different tubs. They both have different 'waste holes.' One is a perfect fit, the other isn't. The TubShroom still manages to collect the bulk of the hair." — Obi
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
18. A pack of grooming wipes perfect for in-between grooming appointments or as an alternative to professional grooming if you can't get your dog there for health or financial reasons.
Amazon
Promising review:"Love these wipes for our Pomeranian. We use them to wipe our dog down after his play dates and also clean his paws off after returning from our walks. Doesn't really have a strong scent, so it doesn't linger on our dog. The wipes are sturdy and big enough for our needs. These were recommended by our groomer and we are pleased with the product." — Average Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $12.43 /two months; available in two scents).
19. A toothpaste that'll help reduce tartar and plaque formation — and maybe even improve your dog's dental sitch enough so you can skip a professional pricey cleaning where they have to put your dog under anesthesia.
Promising review:"Love this product. We use it in our grooming salon all the time. The dogs like it a lot too, because of the flavor! They think it is a treat!" — Adriana Welckle

I love it for coring my apples. It's just phenomenal and so easy. I can make a baked apple in my microwave in just a few minutes. I have arthritis, and this is still so easy to use." —Bettina it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 18 colors). A corn cob stripper that'll pop those kernels right off the cob.

Promising review: "Have been using this to quickly pick up all the chopped vegetables, etc. — very handy, sturdy handle on top gives a nice touch too. Easy to clean." —KSPBGet it from Target for $8 (originally $10). A Ninja double stack 12-in-1 counter oven with the power of the oven that'll sit right on top of the counter. Don't believe me? This double stack goliath can ~rapidly~ cook via air fry, convection bake, air roast, whole roast, dehydrate and so much more. You can cook everything from a whole chicken and pizza to baked cookies. Promising reviews: "I love, love it. It works great for one or two people. It saves time and energy. I love that I can make two different meals at the same time. Best invention ever. I strongly recommend it." —Marisol Belcher"I like it because it saves me a good amount of time I would have spent waiting for the regular oven to heat. It preheats and then starts cooking. And again, it's heating up a small space, so it is faster than a regular oven. Since it heats a small space, it saves heating up the whole kitchen. This is good in the summertime." —Pamela FernandezGet it from Amazon for $279.99. The Thaw Claw here to help you thaw out meat in under half an hour because, if you live alone, you can't call home and have someone take the meat out in case you forget. Don't worry, dinner isn't ruined. It'll just be delayed a few minutes. Thaw Claw is a Black-owned small biz that's been featured on Shark Tank, HSN, and Good Morning America!Promising reviews: "This device, with its suction base and spread design, keeps the food item under its fingers to allow the thawing process to complete in less than half the time by just putting it in the water. And before you object, 'that's not safe, the temperature will rise too much and promote bacteria growth' — I have ServSafe certs. I know my time and temp levels, and those are in no way even close to approaching the danger zone unless you leave it for hours before cooking. I recommend this item for anyone, but especially anyone who has time constraints for evening dinner prep or any other time for that matter." —mudhen7"This thing is excellent. I make my own dog food and frequently decide to do it at the last minute. This makes life so much easier. It really does allow the meat to thaw in about 15 minutes, which speeds up browning the ground meat. Thank you for a very simple but very much needed kitchen tool!" —Jane KLearn more about safe food thawing methods it from Amazon for $10.95. A rapid ramen cooker, as seen on Shark Tank, that'll let you make perfect noodles without having to boil water on the stove. Promising reviews: "Makes cooking ramen easier, no cover needed. Thought it was a bit expensive but it makes perfect ramen without the mess. Best texture noodles, way better than the stove." —Rupert"LOVED this product! I will be using it a TON! Worked exactly as advertised and you can tell it will hold up well in the future! It's the perfect size and impossible to screw up. Made for the microwave, it has a fill line for the water and you cook it for 4 minutes. I've added the seasoning both before and after cooking and it made no difference for me. Solves the problem of having to dirty a pan to cook the noodles and speeds up the whole process greatly. The noodles are cooked perfectly and a wonderful texture. The pan cleans quickly and easily and then you can eat out of it!! Handy handles that don't burn your hands. LOVED this item. An absolute MUST for the Ramen Noodle lovers out there!! BUY this, you WON'T regret it! What a useful, wonderful invention!" —Kay AGet a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in various multi-packs and in 11 colors).

It was fun! I boiled the zucchini strings and ate them topped with homemade spaghetti sauce." —1SimpleCookGet it from Walmart for $16. A nonstick meat and potato masher ready to break up and ~chop chop~ ground meat, potatoes, and other foods in a flash. It's way easier and more efficient than trying to force another tool to do it. This is made for the *chop* and more than 46,000 reviewers agree. Promising reviews: "Why did I wait so long to buy one of these? The same day I received it, I was making broccoli, and my hubby doesn't like it in big chunks, so I decided to try to break up the broccoli with it, and it was SO fast and easy!! I wish I had bought one sooner!" —Jennifer139"I've seen the chefs use this device and thought I would give it a try. It did speed the process up in breaking up a block of ground beef." —LoreGet it from Amazon for $11.82+ (available in black and blue). A set of two cast-iron burger presses you can use for all your grilling needs in these last few weeks of summer (*sobs about the impending end of grilling season*). The set comes with one circular press and one rectangular press!Promising review: "Bought them for smash burgers and to help cook quickly. They work great and are easy additions that speed cooking if you are on a flat top. Burgers to Bacon, they make light and fun work of grilling. They also fit inside most of my cast iron pans too." —RAKJGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (also available as individual sets and other set variations).

A rice cooker here to take over the task of making your side dish. Just throw your grains in the bowl, set it up, and let the magic of not having to do anything take over.

Not only that, it comes with a vegetable steamer. Now I can use the instapot for cooking actual meat/stew and use the rice cooker along with it speeding up cook time." —Adam S. Get it from Amazon for $25.75+ (available in four sizes). A pair of herb scissors that'll make Taco Tuesday prep even easier with five-blade shears ready to chop up extra onions and cilantro.

It's easy to wash, too." —Lori"Wow, you will not regret this purchase. It's one of those you don't think you need, but YOU REALLY DO NEED IT. If it saves that much time, it's worth the investment." —KristinH515Get it from Amazon for $9.99. A Ninja Crispi, my personal kitchen helper, that's helped me cook at home more and more. How can you not cook at home when this nifty and compact device makes it so easy? It has four settings that allow you to make small or family-sized meals. It comes with a handy booklet with recipes and guides on settings for your favorite meals (it even has one for frozen hashbrowns, my personal fave). And when you're done cooking, the glass cooking dish is also your Tupperware *with* lid. It got 5 stars from me and them. ⬇️ Promising reviews: "It was time to replace my old, tired air fryer. I love several other Ninja kitchen appliances, so Ninja was the first company I looked at. That's where I found the Ninja Crispi. I was intrigued by the glass cooking compartment and its unique design. It air fries my frozen fries and tater tots evenly. I also air-fried three boneless pork chops for 15 minutes, which were so juicy and perfectly cooked! The glass cooking compartment is a breeze to clean, too. I could not be more pleased with this air fryer!" —Babs"I currently have a kitchen with no oven and a very small stovetop. This is a GAME CHANGER. I've used this several times today after receiving it in the mail. Made baked sweet potatoes, air fried chicken wings, air fried fish sandwiches - this thing is AWESOME. Considering getting other ninja products. I've been eyeing the CREAMI for ice cream and sorbet. I love this brand. Ninja 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 even if you get this just to reheat leftovers, it's amazing. You won't regret it." —VickyGet it from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in six colors). A trio pan that'll let you try out three different lasagna recipes at one time. This is an excellent find for people who like to meal prep for the week. Promising reviews: "I love the ability to make three different types of lasagnas since I have three picky eaters. I have also used this to make three different types of cakes as well. It is so worth the money if you plan on making different dishes or just have a family of picky eaters." —Mmperry"There's nothing but good coming from this pan! Yummy, crunchy edges on every piece! I made three different kinds of lasagna in this pan, and all I can say is that there were already plans for the next batch before this one was gone! This pan is heavy-duty, has an awesome nonstick coating, and will definitely stand up to much use. The recipe called for spraying the pan with nonstick spray, but it was completely unnecessary. I've already suggested this pan to others." —sreneeGet it from Amazon for $19.49. A magnetic air fryer cheat sheet in case you're ready to risk it all mixing and matching to create your own air-fryer-friendly recipes. Seems like no matter how many times I make chicken, I still can't remember what temp or time to cook chicken on. Anyone else have that problem? A rectangular lazy Susan, a simple contraption so convenient and practical you'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner. Easily access your daily go-tos without having to move the ketchup and creamer out of the way several times a day. All you have to do is spin it. A mason jar cold brew maker here to have your *cold* cup of Joe ready when you wake up in the morning. Not a coffee person? Have no fear, reviewers also love to use this mason jar to brew their favorite iced teas or infused waters. A dishwasher-safe garlic peeler that TBH is one of those things that you think you have in the kitchen until you buy garlic, and then you realize you don't have it. You'll never not need it because everything is better with garlic. This includes a ventilated case for review: "This thing is awesome. Made of a thick, quality silicone, it feels like it's made to last. This doesn't feel like a cheap, flimsy kitchen tool. Plus, I like that it has a plastic box to keep it clean. I read a bunch of reviews before buying, because there are a ton of garlic peelers on Amazon for super low prices. I chose this one because I trust Oxo as a brand, have many of their other products, and they've lasted. Plus, positive reviews and a protective case. I'm SO happy I got this thing. I put in 2 cloves of garlic, press lightly on the countertop, and roll it, and BAM. Fresh, clean cloves ready to mince for my recipe. A great kitchen tool to simplify and speed up your process." —AfrobellaGet it from Amazon for $9.99. Or! A Dracula garlic mincer, an unserious yet super helpful kitchen gadget that'll give you another reason to smile while making garlic bread. It's a little ironic, too. A vampire that minces garlic — get it? 😂 A KitchenAid stand mixer duh. If you've ever tried to bake, mix, cook, etc., without one of these babies, you know the struggle. This makes the whole putting-all-the-ingredients-together process so much easier and faster. Promising reviews: "I contemplated buying this for quite a while, but didn't due to the price. My husband finally put it in the cart during sales and bought it for me. I am so glad he did! I love it. It makes the job of baking so much quicker, easier, and enjoyable." —MNShopper"I love that this mixer is so heavy-duty. My kids and I like to bake a lot. The way the paddle blade whips up a bar cookie dough is super fast. I like that I can lock the stainless steel bowl down and control the speed of the mixing process. I've yet to have a tough cookie after switching from my hand mixer to the stand mixer. The wire whisk blade also creates the most fluffy meringue, so light and airy. Once again, being able to control the speed of the whisking action has been key in this process. I also love, love, love the dough hook. I have a sourdough bread recipe that calls for a total of 6 cups of flour. Mixing it with my hand mixer was impossible, and stirring by hand was exhausting. However, this mixer's dough blade attachment did the work in hardly no time at all. I was able to put all the ingredients together and get on with the good part of baking bread much faster and having that wonderful aroma permeate my house." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $379.95 (available in 20 colors). A 4-in-1 chopper, spiralizer, dicer and slicer ideal for meal prepping. You can chop onions and nuts, mince herbs, or spiralize zuchinni. And it's compact, which makes it a great addition to kitchens with little to no counter space. Promising review: "What a time saver. I made Pico de Gallo in a couple of minutes. As for the cilantro, I placed 1/2 a jalapeno on the blades, then cilantro. Chopped beautifully. Works very well, well worth the $$." —Yvette GarzaGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five colors). A crepe maker, in case you've constantly tried to make those buttery, thin, flaky sheets of utter goodness, only to be left with a burnt paper-like bready structure. It stops today! Promising reviews: "This thing is great. You can cook a pile of crepes in half the time it takes using a large pan or griddle, and it's way easier. They're perfectly sized and shaped, too." —MixedProducts"My kids love crepes, and I debated a lot if this would be worth it or not — 100% worth it! Makes crepe making so easy! I taught my kids, so now they can make their own. So happy I took a chance on it and got it!" —JenGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in seven colors). A rapid egg cooker so you can boil, poach, scramble, or even make an omelet super quickly. Now, you can finally fit breakfast into your morning routine. You'll get picture-perfect eggs every time — just look at the pictures below. 👇🏽 Promising reviews: "This little device speeds up cooking of soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs by at least 10 minutes because I don't have to wait for water to boil in a pot first. Water starts steaming very quickly. The alarm isn't super loud either. Put the eggs in an ice bath afterwards, and they peel easily. Comes with a measuring cup that also has a pin on the bottom to puncture the eggs before cooking. Excellent instructions, too. It also makes poached and small omelets too." —D.G."This is the best kitchen appliance I have bought in a long time! Super easy and quick to use. I have a busy schedule, and I make egg salad a LOT to take with saves me SO much time and effort. Set it and forget it, but the super loud, continuous buzzer/alarm will NOT let you forget it, which is a nice safety design. Takes exactly 16 minutes to boil eggs, and they are perfect. They're also REALLY easy to peel! I've never peeled eggs so easily before. Huge plus that I hadn't even considered. This little contraption is also pretty small and stores easily. Even if you only boil eggs once in a while, it's worth it!" —Jaime BGet it from Amazon for $17.94+ (available in nine colors).Check out our Dash rapid egg cooker review for more deets! A double breakfast sandwich maker because yes, one would probably take up less space, but you know you're gonna want another, so let's not pretend. Or, you can make two because you know your partner is going to see how good yours looks, and instead of sharing, you can hand them their own. Promising reviews: "I have had this for six months now and use it all the time!!!! Need an easy supper idea…breakfast sammiches!!! Need a quick breakfast!!! Four minutes is all it takes! No more babysitting an egg on the stove and messing with a toaster hoping it melts your cheese…. I'm ordering a second one so I have one for camp and one for home!!!" —Amazon Customer"My husband loves a great breakfast sandwich. This was fun, and quick, and gave us lots of yummy ideas. The quality was actually amazing and really elevated breakfast and lunch. High performance at a super cheap price, well worth it, and will be buying more for gifts. It's quick to clean and stores easily away. The plates are great quality and it's super stable. My kids love it for a quick meal on the run." —Michelle JurichGet it from Amazon for $38.49. A two-basket Ninja air fryer that'll let you cook just about anything you want from the comfort of your dorm. You won't even miss your oven back home.
