Household Tools I Love to Use to Make Life Easier Over 50

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski 2 Comments

As a blogger and Amazon Influencer, I am often sent many kitchen and household tools to try. When I find something I love, I share it with my readers.

I especially enjoy household items that make our lives easier as we age. And I’m not talking about the commode chairs or toilet rails brands like to send me just because I’m a senior. I’m talking about fun stuff to use to cook, clean, relax, and enjoy. 

Here are some of the household tools I am impressed with. Let me know what you think of them in the comments below this post.

Marchpower Portable 2 in 1 Toothbrush and Water Flosser

I have been using the Marchpower 2 in 1 toothbrush and water flosser for a while, and I love that it combines a toothbrush and flosser in one compact unit. It’s attractive on your sink and is easy to take anywhere. The device comes with 3 brush heads and 1 jet tip and has 3 brushing and flushing modes.

It’s rechargeable with a USB cable rather than a plug.

I found it gentle and pleasant to use, but it also effectively cleans the teeth. It’s white and matches any decor.

Watch my video demo below.

Cold Brew Coffee Maker Heavy Duty Mason Jar

Cold Brew Coffe Maker Heavy Duty Mason Jar

I love a great pot of cold brew and want to drink more iced green tea. I was looking for a small pitcher to chill in my fridge and found this heavy-duty mason jar cold brew /iced tea set. It was exactly what I was looking for.

First, I love mason jars and think they are cool! This one is made with heavy glass, so it’s extra sturdy. It has an infuser that you can insert to hold coffee grounds, loose tea, or tea bags. Fill it with water and stick it in your fridge for several hours. Instructions in the box will ensure you make the best coffee or tea.

It’s super simple, comes with two types of spout lids, and will fit most refrigerators.

Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker

If you experience gut issues, it helps to eat more foods with probiotics, including yogurt. But not all store-bought yogurt has the probiotics you may need. I tried the Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker and made homemade yogurt with the probiotics and prebiotics that were right for me.

Watch my video to see how it works.

You can use a yogurt starter or your favorite probiotic capsules. It was so easy and took about 36 hours. 8 jars come in the box, but you can also use other containers. My yogurt turned out great, and I will be making lots more.

Homemade Salad Dressing Blender

Chef'n Emulstir salad dressing mixer.

Homemade salad dressing is healthier and has fewer calories than store-bought brands. I prefer to make my own from scratch. I like to mix my homemade salad dressing with my Emulstir blender by Chef’n. It has a pump stirring mechanism that perfectly blends the ingredients. That way, it’s ready to go when I need it. Twist the top slightly to drizzle the dressing on the salad without splashing.

The Chef’n Emulstir blender seals completely, so it does not leak and is an attractive item to place on your table when guests come for dinner.

Bissell Crosswave FloorWave Floor and Area Rug Cleaner

Bissell Crosswave Floor and Area Rug Cleaner

If you are tired of wringing out an old-fashioned mop, you will love this Bissell Floor and Area Rug Cleaner. It delivers the perfect amount of water to your floor and dries almost immediately, so you have no danger of slipping. This lightweight device has a hard floor and rug mode, and both do an excellent job.

Clean area rugs easily without clogging up your washing machine.

When you’re done, empty the water container until the next time.

HexClad Hybrid Cookware

Chef Gordon Ramsay endorses HexClad cookware. The brand is known for its innovative hybrid design with unique hexagonal patterns on the surface. It is non-stick with stainless steel surfaces and has an aluminum core for even heat distribution. Cook at a slightly lower temperature than normal.

Hexclad is compatible with gas, ceramic, and electric cooktops. The stainless steel is resistant to scratches even when using metal utensils. The skillet and glass top I demonstrate in the video below are sleek in design, easy to clean, and will cook food beautifully. The non-stick surface is non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals. I LOVE this skillet!

Watch my video demo.

Runstar Body Composition Monitor and Scale

Nowadays, checking your weight means more than how much you weigh on a scale. The Runstar Body Composition Monitor and Scale does so much more than that. It checks 28 body composition data points. They include weight, body age, left arm muscle, right arm muscle, water weight, subcutaneous fat, fat-free body weight, bone mass, BMR, muscle mass, body water, BMI, visceral fat, body fat, fat mass, protein, left-leg muscle, right leg muscle, left leg fat, obesity level, ideal body weight, skeletal muscle, right leg fat, left arm fat, right arm fat, muscle rate, body type, and protein mass.

Watch this video to see how it works.

Household Steel Wire Grill Brush

Did you know that standard BBQ brushes can shed and get into your food? ER doctors have reported many cases of this. The grill brush featured below is safe to use and cleans your grill thoroughly. Everyone with a BBQ should have one of these.
