At a Glance
- Swiffer PowerMop Kit drops to $20 with coupon and sold 30,000+ units last month
- Veeloim diatomaceous-earth bath mat dries within seconds and now costs $30 (was $50)

Daniel J. Whitman, shopping writer for News Of Los Angeles, tested or tracked the items and highlighted why they beat pricier or outdated alternatives.
Cleaning Made Easier
Skip steam mops with cords that tangle around chair legs. The Swiffer PowerMop Kit runs on batteries and uses dual-sided pads featuring tiny scrubber dots that lift grime dissolved by an included cleaning solution. Safe for sealed wood, tile, and laminate, the kit falls to $20 after an on-page coupon-down from $30-and cleared 30,000+ purchases last month.
Bath Rug Upgrade
Traditional bath rugs hold moisture and odor. The Veeloim Diatomaceous Earth Bath Mat dries footprints in seconds, stays odor-free, and adds a nonslip surface. Originally $50, it’s now $30 and comes in gray or white.
Better Vanity Lighting
Poor bathroom lighting complicates makeup application. The Deweisn Tri-Fold Vanity Mirror offers touchscreen brightness controls, 3X magnification for detailed grooming, and dual power options-micro-USB or four AAA batteries. Prime members pay $26, down from $28.
Rice Without the Stick
Rice stuck to pot bottoms wastes food and scrubbing time. The Aroma Rice Cooker delivers non-stick results and costs $22.
Flame-Free Candle Warmers
Forgetting to blow out candles risks smoke and soot. The Castlelife Candle Warmer uses timer settings to melt wax safely; it’s priced at $22 after a discount from $30.
Targeted Heat Therapy
Achy muscles get relief from the Comfytemp Heating Pad, featuring nine heating modes. Prime users pay $30, marked down from $38.
Foolproof Eggs
Inconsistent hard-boiled eggs plague many kitchens. The Dash Rapid Egg Cooker steams up to six eggs at once and contains dishwasher-safe parts. Price: $17, reduced from $20.
Cozy Pillow Swap
Itchy accent pillows ruin couch comfort. Decoruhome Faux-Fur Throw Pillow Covers feel like stuffed animals and cost $9 at checkout, originally $13.
Chemical-Free Microwave Clean
Harsh cleaners leave fumes. The Aivwis Angry Mama Microwave Steam Cleaner uses water and vinegar to loosen food splatters in minutes for $9.
Tidy Cords
Visible wires clutter countertops. The D-Line Cable-Management Box hides power strips and excess cord length for $23.
Key Takeaways
- Every item stays under the $30 ceiling even before some coupons
- Swiffer’s cordless convenience and the stone bath mat’s quick-dry surface lead recent sales momentum
- Dual-power vanity mirror and nine-mode heating pad show feature-rich options need not break budgets
