Nine 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. However, that doesn't always mean the products are actually good. Some end up being a little too creative or out-there and border on plain gimmicky or "Who would even use that?" We looked through all the "Shark Tank" products available for purchase and came away with a selection of star products for the home that made us curse and ask ourselves, "Why didn't we think of this earlier?" Many solve for the wasteful design of many common products you already use, while others address the annoying inconveniences that everyone experiences. 1. A rapid ramen cooker Granted ramen is already a pretty convenient meal to make, this tool makes the process even easier. The water line stops you from overfilling the bowl, the bowl doesn't get overly hot, and you don't need to use a pot and stove. It's perfect for anyone who doesn't have access to a kitchen, including students living in dorms and office workers. 2. A self-cleaning dog potty If you've already tried many indoor potty training systems, your search ends here with the world's first self-cleaning dog potty. You can adjust the timer to automatically change a dirty pad one, two, or three times a day, or manually change it with a push of a button. The machine will wrap and seal the waste, keeping your home clean and odor-free. It's best for dogs under 25 pounds. Amazon 3. A spring-loaded laundry hamper This hamper drops down as you add clothes and rises as you remove them, meaning doing laundry will no longer be that uncomfortable chore you never look forward to.

A wine preserver You won't feel pressured to finish an entire bottle of wine thanks to these tools.

Reusable bamboo paper towels These durable, absorbent towels are an eco-friendly paper towel alternative made of organic bamboo. Each sheet looks and feels like a regular paper towel, but can be washed up to 100 times. Each roll of 30 Bambooee sheets is equivalent to 429 paper towel rolls. Amazon 6. A suction silicone placemat The fact that you just spent an hour lovingly cooking a homemade meal and even organized it into easy-to-eat compartments often means nothing to a baby or toddler, who can hurl dinner to the floor in one easy swoop. This placemat will stay right in place on any flat surface, making it that much easier to get food from the plate into your child's mouth. 7. A home gym rack This profile rack transforms any small space into your own gym. It comes with 11-gauge steel uprights and a 42" kipping pull-up bar and can be folded away when not in use. 8. A smart baby changing pad and scale It's easier than ever to track your baby's development with this modern nursery innovation. The soft foam pad tracks changes in weight to the .25 of an ounce and automatically syncs with the Hatch Baby app so you can view progress and learn new insights about your baby. The product grew out of the co-founder's own experience as a mother when she couldn't tell whether she was breastfeeding enough. 9. A natural flea and tick spray for your pets Wondercide, a safe and natural alternative to monthly chemical treatments, was conceived after the founder's dog got pesticide poisoning from a vet-subscribed flea and tick treatment.

Eco-friendly bamboo chopsticks Unlike most disposable chopsticks, which are made from wood, Cropsticks use bamboo, which grows back after it's chopped.
