13 Highest Rated Household Items From Costco

Costco members can peruse the warehouse club's aisles for snacks, pantry staples, fresh produce, meat, and more. But the best buys aren't only on your grocery list. Costco offers household items that have earned stellar reviews and ratings from shoppers. 

Customer favorites include essentials like trash bags and laundry detergent, home organization helpers like shoe racks and pantry bins, cookware, and kid-friendly cushions for building a fort or a comfy couch. Whether you're outfitting your first home, upgrading your kitchen essentials, or restocking your cleaning supplies, your Costco membership gives you access to some in-demand items. These are the highest-rated household items from Costco to check out.

The upsides of the Woozoo Globe Fan include its compact size, adjustability, and affordable price. Based on those reasons, it's not surprising to see that this fan has stellar reviews at Costco. The popular fan has racked up nearly 5,000 reviews from shoppers and the highest star rating of any product on our list — a nearly perfect 4.9 stars.

The small form factor means that the fan is well-suited for use in bedrooms, offices, or other areas of limited square footage where you need more circulation. There are five fan speeds, and you can control the fan's settings with a touch panel on the fan itself or using a remote control. The fan oscillates 360 degrees, and you can tilt the fan head to adjust the direction of the airstream. This fan draws rave reviews from Costco shoppers, including this person who says, "Woozoo is far and away the best we've ever found: it's quiet, even at its highest setting, it's powerful despite the small size (which is also a plus), and it can move either side to side or up and down, and it can combine both movements (which is interesting to watch). And it's cute — looks like R2D2, small and round."

With 8,554 reviews and a 4.8-star rating, one of Costco's highest-rated household items is this 10-piece cookware set from Circulon. The Premier Professional Non-Stick Set includes 2 skillets, a sauté pan, 2 saucepans, and a stockpot, along with 4 lids. The hard-anodized aluminum cookware has a non-stick finish that Costco reviewers say is durable and long-lasting. The pots and pans have silicone grips for the handles, which reviewers find helpful when the cookware gets hot. To streamline clean-up, you can put the pots and pans in the dishwasher.

The cookware is compatible with all cooktops (including induction) and oven-safe up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. As proof, one reviewer says, "I purchased this set from Costco nearly two years ago. I have used it almost daily since then. I purchased this beautiful cookware to go with our new induction cooktop. It worked perfectly with that cooktop. Then we moved to another city and now I have a gas cooktop. This set works just great with this one as well. It is a beautiful, durable and efficient way to cook. The surfaces do not have any scratches after almost two years of use. It is our best Costco purchase yet."

One of the most highly rated household items from Costco is designed with kids in mind. The Yourigami Kids Convertible Play Fort includes a dozen foam pieces with removable, washable velour covers. The foam cushions can be stacked into various configurations for play or lounging, and reviewers say that the set is very soft and easy to keep clean.

At Costco, this item has a 4.8-star rating and 2,258 reviews, which tout the product's versatility and value. Says one reviewer, "We love having this in our playroom! We got the light green color which we really like, it's bright and light. Compared to more expensive brands, this had more pieces and the cutouts make the fort builds more fun and interactive."

At Costco, you can pick up a two-pack of the Tramontina Professional 8-inch Fry Pan. These nonstick frying pans are made of an aluminum alloy and have removable silicone grips for a cool-to-the-touch handle. Plus, they're dishwasher-safe. Reviewers have plenty of good things to say about the value of this frying pan set, awarding it a cumulative 4.8-star rating based on more than 1,000 reviews.

You can use the Tramontina Professional Fry Pan to cook stovetop favorites like scrambled eggs or sautéed veggies on a gas, electric coil, or smooth-top range (but they're not compatible with an induction range). It should also be noted that these frying pans are only oven-safe to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. After using these popular pans, Costco shoppers have sentiments like this to share: "The Tramontina Professional nonstick line of cookware are well-made, sturdy pans with a tough nonstick surface that heat quickly and cook evenly. They cost a lot less than other brands that aren't even made as well."

Sturdy bins are frequently recommended to organize everything from kitchen pantries to bathroom cabinets, and this 6-piece set from iDesign is one of Costco's best storage solutions. With a 4.8-star rating based on 1,704 reviews, it's one of the retailer's most highly rated household items in general. All six of the bins are 8 x 10 inches, but the set includes two shallow bins that are 3 inches deep and four bins that are 5 inches deep.

These iDesign Pantry Bins are made of clear, BPA-free plastic so that the items inside aren't hidden from view. A handle means that you can easily grasp and pull the bin off the shelf to access whatever you have stored inside. If they become dingy or dirty, you'll have to hand-wash them since these bins fall into the same category as other common kitchen items that you shouldn't put in the dishwasher. That being said, these bins are very versatile and durable based on the reviews left by Costco shoppers. "I love these bins. I have different sized ones all over my house. I use them in the kitchen, spice cabinet, fridge, pantry and bathroom. They are durable. Mine have been dropped and survived although I'm sure they could break. I've had some for more than 5 years and they are maneuvered daily," says one reviewer.

Costco gives you the option of upgrading your kitchen sink to this sturdy stainless steel version from Delta. The 33-inch Workstation Sink can be installed as a drop-in or undermount sink, and it includes an 18-inch faucet with a pull-down spray wand. You can pick from four finishes, including stainless steel, chrome, matte black, or gold. While a gold faucet in the kitchen has pros and cons, this option offers a warm alternative to more typical silver metal tones.

All things considered, Costco reviewers think that this kitchen sink and faucet setup is worthy of a 4.7-star rating, based on more than 2,000 reviews. Attributes like being easy to install and well-made have made this such a highly rated pick from the retailer. One reviewer had these positive comments to share: "This sink is awesome! High quality, quiet, fairly easy to install. The faucet is excellent as well. I would say the only negative would be that I wish the faucet had a more concentrated stream when using the sprayer but for the price and all I couldn't be happier. It is also a very quiet sink with something like 90% of it covered in sound dampening material so it doesn't have that tinny sound some other sinks have. Love the included accessories for it. I also don't see any weird welds like I saw on other units from other brands. Everything is clean and great looking. I looked at tons of these before I pulled the trigger on this sink faucet combo and so glad I purchased this one."

The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is a countertop appliance that creates frozen treats from ingredients of your choice. The CREAMi Deluxe has a total of 11 functions, including settings for ice cream, sorbet, and slushies. You'll get three 24-ounce pint containers and lids for making and storing your frozen concoctions. This ice cream maker is a hit with Costco shoppers, racking up a 4.6-star rating from 2,105 reviewers.

Reviewers love the range of sweet treats that can be made with the CREAMi Deluxe and comment on how easy it is to use, albeit a little loud. "The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is the best ice cream maker I have tried. It is very easy to use and takes only 2 minutes to spin once the ingredients have been in the freezer for 24 hours. It is very versatile and makes many different frozen desserts and drinks. It's a little loud but since it spins for such a short time, it's not a problem," says one Costco reviewer. Another plus of this ice cream maker is how easy it is to clean. The containers, lids, and paddle are all dishwasher-safe.

If a budget-friendly porch upgrade is on your to-do list, Costco has a two-pack of Veradek Taper Planters that earn high praise from buyers. With more than 1,800 reviews, these planters have a 4.7-star rating. Shoppers say that these household items are of great quality and make a big impact on your porch, patio, or poolside. For instance, one happy reviewer says, "Ordered, arrived quickly and absolutely amazing! Pictures do not do these planters justice!"

Although the planters stand 26 inches tall, you won't need a supersized bag of soil to fill these deep pots. There's a shelf insert that reduces the amount of dirt needed. The planters are made of weather-resistant polypropylene, and they won't crack in cold weather like ceramic planters are prone to do.

With 4,660 reviews and a 4.7-star rating, Nellie's Laundry Soda is one of Costco's highest-rated household items. Shoppers find it effective, affordable, and convenient to use. Each bucket costs $55 and holds enough powder detergent for up to 400 loads of laundry, making the cost per load just under 14 cents. According to reviewers, the cost savings don't come with a compromise on cleaning ability. "We have been using liquid detergent for so long, but decided it was better for the environment to try using powdered. Nellie's is advertised as sulfate- and paraben-free and eco-friendly. Plus, at around 13 cents per load, it is easy on the wallet, too. I was skeptical at first, but one scoop (1 tablespoon) inside the front-loader tub is all it takes for a full load. I do pretreat any stains if necessary (usually with a bar of laundry soap). Seems to work as well or better than the liquids I have used. My only quibble is that it comes in a plastic bucket lined with a plastic bag, so if you are trying to use NO plastic, then you may have to look elsewhere," says one reviewer.

The powder dissolves in hot or cold water, according to the brand. It can also be used as a laundry detergent for high-efficiency washing machines. The biggest downside to this product is that some reviewers report that a bit of the product spills during shipping. Even though the bucket doesn't seem to have a perfect seal, it does fit well in cabinets, and you can keep a smaller quantity out in your laundry room for convenience. That's what this satisfied reviewer did: "The small bucket I purchased has 400(!!!) loads and fits easily underneath my laundry room sink. I keep a supply on my countertop in a pretty canister that easily lasts me two months or more before I need to refill."

A versatile household furniture item, the loveTeak 18-inch Bench has been used in tons of different ways by Costco buyers. It's made of teak wood (sourced from FSC-certified forests that are responsibly managed) and has the marks of high-quality craftsmanship, like mortise-and-tenon joinery. You don't have to do any assembly, since the 13-pound bench arrives ready for use. Because teak is naturally water-resistant, you can use the bench outdoors, inside, or in damp rooms like the bathroom.

This teak bench has a 4.8-star rating based on 1,771 reviews. Despite being relatively lightweight, it's capable of holding up to 300 pounds, according to the manufacturer. Costco customers frequently comment on just how sturdy it is and how ideal it is for various uses. "This stool is really well made — rock solid with absolutely no play between any of the joints. It's also a perfect size to be used for multiple purposes — sitting, putting up your feet, small table, etc. While it's a pretty hefty hunk of teak, it is still light enough to easily take anywhere with you — indoors or outdoors. Love it!"

The Seville Classics Kitchen Cart is meant to be a multifunctional addition to your kitchen but Costco shoppers have found numerous ways to use this highly rated Costco item. "This rolling cart is perfect for kitchen, hobby room or workshop. I think it might be the best $99 I ever spent," says one reviewer. The same reviewer gushes over the cart's tool-free assembly, high-quality caster wheels, and sturdy worksurface. The cart has earned over 1,000 reviews and shows a 4.7-star rating.

It features a stainless steel top that reviewers often use for tasks like prepping ingredients or rolling out dough. Below, there are three height-adjustable shelves to hold overflow kitchen supplies. In total, the cart holds up to 475 pounds. Its overall aesthetic is simple and frills-free, but that's not necessarily a downside to most buyers. One reviewer says, "It compliments [sic] our stainless steel appliances and makes the otherwise bare white kitchen look more functional, futuristic, and professional. It's also super easy to clean, and provides ample supplemental countertop (it matches our counter's height)."

Instead of a pile of footwear at the door, a sturdy shoe rack is a great option for keeping your house tidy and your kicks within easy reach. The TRINITY Bamboo 2-Tier Shoe Rack is one of Costco's highest-rated household items, with a 4.8-star rating based on nearly 3,000 reviews. Each shoe rack has two shelves and holds about 6 pairs of shoes (more if you plan on using it to store child-size shoes). The shoe racks can be used individually or stacked if you need a shoe storage solution for a small closet.

The shoe racks are made of bamboo, and the consensus from Costco shoppers is that they're very solid and well-made. As an example, one reviewer says, "I have been searching for a solid, quality built shoe rack for months until I found this item. It is extremely sturdy and well built. It's a nice weight which is important because once assembled (if stacking) it will not tip over when removing shoes from it or if it's bumped by accident."

One of Costco's highest-rated household items is meant for the trash, literally. The Kirkland Signature Flex-Tech Kitchen Trash Bags have racked up more than 11,000 reviews and a 4.8-star rating. The bags have features meant to reduce the risk of tears, including an expandable design and a reinforced top. The side seams are also meant to reduce leaks.

The 13-gallon size fits many of the most popular household garbage cans. A drawstring top keeps the bag snug around the can and makes it convenient to close up and tie the bag shut when it's time to take it out. As an example of the kind of praise that these trash bags receive, consider what this Costco shopper says, "I can't live without these trash bags! They are perfect in every way: 1.) They don't smell like anything! They're not perfumed or plasticky smelling, which is WONDERFUL. 2.) They stretch so they don't easily rip or split open if something square or sharp pokes into the bag (so no messy spills!) 3. They're just the right size, not too big, not too small, so I can't really overfill them and I can lift, lug and throw them into the outdoor garbage bin all by myself, if I need to. Great trash bags and another great item by Kirkland! Please keep making them just the way they are! Thanks, Costco!"
