Eleven seasons in and hundreds of products later, the show "Shark Tank" continues to entertain us as well as the panel of celebrity investors with creative pitches.

We looked through all the "Shark Tank" products available for purchase and came away with a selection of star items for the home that made us ask ourselves, "Why didn't we think of this earlier?"
Many solve for the wasteful designs of common products you already use, while others address the annoying inconveniences that everyone experiences.

A more effective way to sweep your floor

You only need to use one hand to operate it, plus you never have to bend or stoop over.

A splatter screen that still lets you access your pan to cook
While traditional splatter screens cover the pan, making it difficult to check on your food and resulting in condensation, the funnel-like Frywall surrounds the perimeter of the pan. The BPA-free silicone accessory still protects from oil splatters, while allowing you to continue cooking. Read our review here.
