Want to save time when you cook? The Instant Pot Crisp 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker has got you covered. This genius machine pretty much does everything short of chopping up veggies for you: It can pressure cook, slow cook, air fry, roast, steam, sauté, bake, broil and keep your food warm. It's even energy efficient, working up to 70 percent faster and using less energy than other cooking methods.

"I was always pretty anti-kitchen gadgets. The InstantPot seemed like just another thing that did stuff I could already do on my stove or oven. Boy, was I wrong," a happy customer said. "I honestly am in disbelief how much I love using this thing. It is so versatile that I use it more than anything else in my kitchen, except maybe the sink."

Now is the time to invest in a fitness tracker — the Fitbit Luxe Fitness and Wellness Tracker is $50 off right now! This sleek watch has cool metrics like breathing rate, heart rate variability, step counting, target heart rates and calorie burns to help you better understand how active you are during the day. It even tracks your sleep! Choose from four pretty bands, including Lunar White, Black and Orchid.

"As my MD is determining whether I need a pacemaker, I was looking for a watch to give me my heart rate," a five-star fan said. "Problem is, I don’t like a large watch face. Apple watches or prior Fitbits [are] not my style. I’ve never been tempted to buy. Until I saw the Luxe. ... I absolutely love it. I get my heart rate with a tap (I think it will eventually give me oxygen level), plus it’s a super-looking watch."
