28 things everyone is buying right now on Amazon


Like most people, I spend entirely too much time—and money—on Amazon. So many things! Such cheap prices! And while I appreciate both of those things (having options + saving money = happy me), sometimes it can be overwhelming to sift through all of the pages and pages of what appear to be great products and even better deals.

To help you out, we’ve scoured Amazon’s best-sellers list and narrowed it down to 28 of the things everyone is buying that either we’ve tested or that have gotten thousands of five-star reviews. Add to cart, anyone?

1. This best-selling Instant Pot

The Instant Pot makes cooking meals on a busy weeknight easy.

Rating: 4.6

There’s a reason we write about the Instant Pot over and over and over again—it’s just that good. But which model is the best? While our experts recommend the Ultra 10-in-1, the number one Instant Pot on Amazon right now is the Duo. One of our editors uses it and says that aside from an oven, it’s arguably the only kitchen gadget you need. After all, it’s super speedy at whipping up delicious dishes and can do everything from pressure cook to slow cook to steam (and more!).
