Where to Find Discounted Home Goods (REBEL Home Review)
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I’m always on the hunt for smart deals—especially for the home. Which is why I got really excited when Rebelstork officially rebranded to REBEL and expanded into the home goods space. What used to be a baby-and-kid-gear resale hub is now a treasure trove of open-box and overstock finds for the kitchen, decor, furniture, and more.
Because let’s be real: half the joy of decorating or cooking up something new is finding that whisper of a discount and knowing you snagged it before someone else did.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at REBEL’s home offerings, how their “open box / overstock / imperfect” model works, some current eye-catching deals, and a mini review of the Cuisinart Cool Creations Ice Cream Maker that we picked up from them.
What kinds of products you’ll find in REBEL’s home section
Browsing REBEL’s “Home / All Home” collection is like wandering through a high-end outlet for your kitchen and home decor. They carry all kinds of categories:
- Cookware & kitchen tools (including Caraway) for often more than half off.
- Small appliances (think: blenders, coffee makers, mixers)
- Tableware, bakeware, and serveware
- Home decor (lighting, rugs, wall accents)
- Linens & bedding (sheet sets, duvet covers)
- Air Fryers at sometimes more than half off.
- Health and wellness, like treadmills and home saunas.
One standout example: A Caraway knife set for $139 (normally $275) and their entire 12 piece cookset for $209 (normally $395).
If you click into “Home → New Arrivals,” you’ll see fresh open-box or overstock listings drop regularly—many of them vanish fast.
Our experience: the Cuisinart Cool Creations Ice Cream Maker
Naturally, I couldn’t resist adding something fun to our kitchen cart when I saw Cuisinart Cool Creations Ice Cream Maker listed on REBEL. The REBEL listing showed “Quality Check / Open Box” for the unit.
Being able to create our own allergen-free ice cream that doesn’t have a bunch of additives that we normally find in store-bought varieties has not only been fun for my toddler, but for me as well!
Here’s how it’s going so far:
What is it & specs
This model is the 2-quart unit with one-button controls (ice cream, gelato, sorbet), an LCD countdown timer, and auto shutoff. It has an ingredient spout + integrated measuring cup in the lid, and a double-insulated bowl. It’s BPA-free and fairly user-friendly.
Performance & taste
We’ve made multiple flavors: blueberry frozen yogurt and cookies and cream ice cream. The texture comes out delightfully creamy—smooth and satisfying. I’m so excited to make more fun flavors, especially as we head into the holidays.
Open Box / Overstock / Imperfect: What do those words actually mean?
I’ve gotten several items from REBEL including strollers, Keenz wagon, and now this ice cream maker.
One of the first questions I had (and one I know many of you will ask) is: what does “open box” or “imperfect” really mean when buying home goods? Here’s my breakdown:
| Term | What it often means | What to watch out for / what REBEL promises |
|---|---|---|
| Open Box | The item was returned or unboxed but hardly (or never) used | REBEL inspects and quality-checks every listing. |
| Overstock / New Surplus | Brand-new, never used items that the retailer over-ordered or cleared out | Typically perfect condition, just extra inventory |
| Imperfect | The item might have cosmetic blemishes—scuffs, slight scratches, etc. | The listing should (and often does) disclose the flaw or include a photo |
One reason I love this model: you’re not buying something “used” in the sense of years of wear. You’re buying returns or surplus inventory that’s been vetted. The chance that your All-Clad pan has a tiny scuff (that won’t affect performance) is real—but the discount often justifies it.
Also worth noting: REBEL’s promise is that items are “quality-checked & REBEL approved.” Because they work with brands and retailers to divert returns from landfill, you’re also participating in more sustainable consumption.
One tip: read the listing’s “condition details” closely. Sometimes what one buyer would call “minor discoloration” another might pass over. And if you’re unsure, purchase return protection so you can return the item within 7 days if you don’t end up loving it.
Current jaw-dropping deals I’m eyeing
Because I can’t resist sharing, here are a few standout deals I saw while browsing today:
- Caraway Non-Stick Ceramic Complete Bakeware Set — Open Box
$249.99 — Compare at $395.00 - Foodsaver Preserve Vacuum system — $41.99 – 65% off!
- One-Touch Coffeehouse Espresso Cappuccino & Latte Maker— $169 – 50% off!
I’d caution: many deals show “Only 1 left” or “Only 2 left,” so if something lights your heart on fire, don’t wait.
Final thoughts on REBEL
If you’re someone who loves high-end home goods but often feels sticker shock, REBEL’s home section is a treasure map waiting to be explored. The “open box / overstock / imperfect” model offers a meaningful pathway to bring beautiful, well-branded, high-quality pieces into your space at a fraction of the price.
The REBEL expansion feels timely: they’re stepping beyond just baby gear and tackling the “returns crisis” in a bigger way. They’re a place where saving money and reducing waste feel like they belong together.
If you decide to take the plunge, here’s my tip: pick one wishlist item, set alerts (or check frequently), and nab it when it’s marked down. And treat your ice cream maker as a celebratory reward. 🍦
