What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Rheem & More — April 29, 2026

Some boxes have a theme. This one did not. When our team opened this Amazon Mystery Box here in Hot Springs, we pulled everything from home improvement hardware to kitchen gadgets to curly hair care — sometimes that's just how the treasure hunt goes, and we are absolutely not complaining.

The Big Ticket: A Rheem Natural Gas Valve Worth Nearly $230

Right at the top of the haul sat a single WV8840C1406 - OEM Upgraded Water Heater Natural Gas Valve Fits Rheem — sealed, brand new, retailing at $229.95. One item. One-quarter of the entire box's value. If you've been pricing out water heater repairs lately, you already know how fast those parts costs add up, so this one's a real find for a DIYer or a plumber who keeps a parts inventory.

From there, the box got a little more domestic. We pulled four Mix Aid Silicone Liners for KitchenAid Tilt-Head 5 Qt Mixers - 3 Liners & 3 Lids sets — each one a three-liner, three-lid pack retailing at $24.99. If you bake regularly, you know the bowl liner life is real. These are genuinely useful.

Then things got a little quirky. Fifty — yes, fifty — TICARVE Dust Cleaning Gel 5.6 oz (160g) units at $8.99 each. That's $449.50 in one product alone, and honestly, we had a good laugh stacking them up. Keyboards, car vents, tight little crevices your vacuum ignores — this stuff handles it. We'll have plenty on the shelf.

Rounding things out: eleven Dippity-do Girls With Curls Gelée 11.5 fl.oz bottles at $6.84 each. A solid curl-care product, a recognizable name, and a great grab for anyone in the curly hair community.

Plus a handful of bin-labeled pieces heading straight into our store bins for resale. All in all? A weird, wonderful box. That's the Amazon Mystery Box life.
