Years ago, you had three options when it came to shopping: You could trust the commercial, you could get a recommendation from a friend, or you could pick something off the shelf and hope for the best. Now, there are countless brilliant products on Amazon with thousands of reviews, and it's that same buyer feedback that's made modern-day shopping so much simpler.

In short, people are extremely excited about these miracle products for a reason: They've worked for them. Perhaps these reviewers took a chance on their purchases before the items got popular, or maybe they saw the hundreds of high ratings and just couldn't resist. Either way, these internet strangers took time out of their days to leave five stars and a comment — and because of them, it's extraordinarily easy to differentiate the time-wasting buys from the life-improving ones.

Unfortunately, Amazon currently does not have a feature that allows the buyer to sort by number of reviews — but that shouldn't stop you from perusing the best of the best, so I've done the heavy lifting for you. According to buyers, these 45 products are worthy of their high ratings, and all of them have a shockingly large number of great reviews to prove it.

1This Manual Chopper Tool That Makes Cook Prep A Breeze

"I'm the guy that usually does the chopping," says one reviewer who's in charge of prepping 12 onions every year for his family's holiday dinner. "What a serendipitous discovery. This thing is amazing." The Mueller pro chopper is a versatile, cord-free tool that uses stainless steel blades to prep all kinds of foods into square slices— just place your ingredients on top of the blade, press down, and it does all the hard work for you. It'll even catch the slices in a convenient, BPA-free storage container.

2This Argan Oil Shampoo For Growth, Volume, And Scalp Nourishment

"So far I have been using this shampoo for the past two years and I have seen amazing improvements over time," one reviewer says. Apparently, PURA D'OR's anti-thinning shampoo helped their hair "to regain some body, volume, and luster," and thousands of other buyers agree. In addition to strengthening follicles with argan oil to reduce breakage, it also nourishes the scalp with premium botanical oils to promote new growth, all in one cleansing, rich-lathering step.

3This Clip-On Tool So You Can Strain Your Food In The Same Pot

Rather than tossing a colander into that post-dinner stack of dishes, clip the Snap N Strain directly onto the pot you're already using. This flexible, BPA-free tool fits virtually all pots, bowls, and pans, and it has several rows of straining holes and a convenient spout to make the job as easy as possible. When you're done, just toss it in the dishwasher.

4An "Absolutely Brilliant" Tool To Help Open Stubborn Jars And Caps

"Absolutely brilliant," one reviewer raves about the Swing-A-Way jar opener. "This is one kitchen accessory that everyone needs!" It adjusts to fit most sizes and has an all-steel construction for durability — plus, the cushioned, ergonomic handles make the process much more comfortable for those with limited movement.

5This Highly-Rated Multi-Use Cream To Nourish Extremely Dry Skin

According to reviewers, Weleda Skin Food is a "must-have," a "cult favorite," and the "best stuff ever." Instead of synthetic ingredients, this deeply-moisturizing cream utilizes pansy extract, calendula, lavender, beeswax, and rosemary to nourish dry, dull skin. Most use it on calloused feet, dry elbows, and cracking hands, but some say it works wonders on their face for a complexion that's "velvety smooth and dewy."

6These Quick-Drying, Antimicrobial Briefs For Travelers Or Athletes

Because they're made from a breathable, antimicrobial mesh fabric, these Give-N-Go bikini briefs dry quickly and limit the production of germs and odors. They're a favorite among travelers, athletes, and chronic over-heaters because they can be worn longer and washed more efficiently. Some even say they're "possibly the best underwear in the world" because they don't ride up or stretch out, either.

  • Available sizes: XS-XXL

7A Reliable Cookware Set With All The Necessary Basics

Whether you're moving, replacing your kitchenware, or just looking for a full, sleek set that matches, the Vremi cookware set is a top contender.

8This "Great Little Juicer" That Gets The Job Done Without Hassle

"Sometimes, I just need a little citrus juice while cooking and I don't want to have to break out my monster juice press," one reviewer says. In those cases, the Progressive citrus juicer has all the features you need, including a non-skid base, a built-in measuring cup, a 1-cup capacity, and an easy-to-use dome that fits lemons, limes, and oranges. It's even dishwasher-safe, so clean-up is quick and simple.

9This Space-Saving Organizer To Turn Clutter Into Convenience

Keep all those necessities within arm's reach without contributing to the clutter.

Get this sleek, see-through design in your choice of silver or black.

10A Cream That Nourishes, Protects, And Conceals Simultaneously

BB cream is one of the most efficient, multi-purpose products in the world of skin care because it tackles so many things in one simple step. With well over 1,000 reviews, MISSHA's M Perfect Cover BB cream is a particularly popular choice. This "holy grail" product aims to conceal uneven skin, protect with an SPF of 42, and brighten your complexion with regenerative ingredients, all in a lightweight, easy-to-blend cream.

11A Top-Rated Memory Foam Pad To Give Your Mattress An Instant Boost

A new mattress is a significant investment — but a high-quality mattress topper can instantly revitalize your existing bed for a fraction of the price. The LINENSPA topper is made from supportive, body-contouring memory foam and is infused with gel beads that help to regulate temperature. It comes in a thickness of either 2 or 3 inches, and all seven sizes come in at under $100. Reviewers say it's "like sleeping on a cloud" and have given it a 4.4-star rating.

12This Tiny Cast Iron Skillet For Chef-Worthy Individual Meals

The Lodge cast iron mini skillet may be just 3.5 inches in diameter, but its following is colossal. This adorable pan has 14,000 reviewers and a number-one best seller status because it offers superior retention, even heat distribution, and a pre-seasoned surface. All of the aforementioned features work to lock in flavors for the "most mind-numbingly delicious steaks, omelettes and vegetables" you've ever made.

13A Foldable, Adjustable Drying Rack That Can Actually Handle The Weight

For those with a delicate wardrobe or without a dryer, the CRESNEL drying rack has a 4.6-star rating for a reason. For one, it's made from rust-proof stainless steel, so it won't bend under the weight of wet clothes. For another, it has multiple tiers and bars to hold all types of items, and finally, it adjusts to different angles and folds up flat for simple storage when you're done. Tons of buyers who have "gone through many" say that this is the best option they've tried.

14A Sleek, Modern Take On The Traditional Himalayan Salt Lamp

Himalayan salt lamps add a soft, soothing glow to a room — but supposedly, they also purify the air with negative ions. Instead of a single salt rock on a wooden base, the Levoit Cora Himalayan salt lamp modernizes the design with a crystal-clear basin, multiple high-quality salt rocks from Pakistan, and a touch control with a built-in dimmer. It's also USB-powered, so you can plug it into your laptop or phone charger.

15This Convenient Topical Spray That's Filled With A Must-Have Mineral

Magnesium deficiency is a common issue that can impact stress levels, sleep issues, and muscle cramping — in fact, this essential mineral is necessary for the proper functioning of over 300 enzymes in the body. Ancient Minerals magnesium spray contains only pure Zechstein magnesium chloride, which is rapidly absorbed and easily utilized by the body. The result, according to reviewers? Fewer aches, lowered stress levels, clearer skin, and improved sleep.

16These Portable Resistance Bands Made From Durable Latex

These Limm resistance bands are extremely lightweight and portable, so countless reviewers choose to take them to the gym — and countless other reviewers utilize them in place of one. They're made from strong, odor-free latex, and each is color-coded and labeled so you can immediately choose the best individual intensity for your workout. They also come with a carrying bag, eBooks, and online videos to help you out with specific exercises.

17This Concentrated Hyaluronic Serum For Well-Rounded Skin Care Overnight

Some buyers say that the 180 Cosmetics Hyaluronic acid serum is the "the best facial product [they've] ever tried." It uses concentrated ingredients to hydrate, nourish, exfoliate, and plump skin without a greasy, heavy residue. In fact, buyers say that it's "completely absorbed almost instantly so that you can continue on with the rest of your skin care regimen."

18This Full-Body Balm That Prevents Chafing, Blisters, And Irritation

Wherever you experience chafing or irritation, reviewers say that Body Glide is gentle and lubricating enough to reduce friction without messy oils or pore-clogging ingredients. It creates a hypoallergenic barrier that repels moisture and allows skin or clothes to effortlessly glide along, even when you're sweating. Runners, bikers, or those with chafing thighs say this stuff is the "smartest move [they] have ever made."

19These Cotton Socks That Won't Show Under Loafers, Flats, Or Sneakers

If you prefer the no-sock look, but would rather keep your feet (and shoes) fresh, these Thirty 48 socks offer the best of both worlds. Their soft cotton material wicks away moisture and limits odors, but the no-show design hides under the edges of your shoes. They're also stretchy enough to fit sizes 6 to 9 and have silicone piping to keep the fabric in place.

20A Plush, All-Season Comforter That Won't Irritate Your Allergies

On the outside, you'll find soft, reversible microfiber that's machine-washable and moisture-wicking. On the inside, the Linenspa down alternative comforter is filled with hypoallergenic padding that's insulating yet breathable at the same time, so you can use it all year round. It's also made with box stitching and non-clumping materials so it won't shift or tear. Get it in eight sizes and six colors — though it also has duvet loops if none of the color options match your bedroom.

21This Gentle Mouth Rinse That Neutralizes Sulfur-Producing Bacteria

Buyers say that TheraBreath fresh breath rinse is the "only thing that has ever worked" to neutralize their bad breath — and it "does not burn or sting" like harsher brands. Instead of alcohol or overpowering flavors, this dentist-formulated solution tackles sulfur-producing bacteria while balancing pH levels in the mouth. It comes in a pack of two, and is gluten-free, certified vegan, and made in the USA.

22These Clinical-Strength Towelettes That Aim To Reduce Sweating For Seven Days

When used on clean, dry underarms, SweatBlock antiperspirant towelettes aim to limit excessive sweating and odors for up to seven days after one use. "First review I've ever written on Amazon. This is an amazing product," one reviewer raves. "Besides not getting my clothes wet at all, I just feel so much more comfortable. I'm so happy I decided to try it out before I go to a wedding this weekend!"

23This Portable, Lightweight Backpack That Folds Up When It's Not In Use

Instead of committing to the Venture Pal daypack all trip long, fold it up into its built-in pouch and tuck it away into your carry-on. Then, when it's time for hiking, day trips, or camping, it expands into a breathable, multi-pocket pack with comfortable shoulder straps, a chest buckle, and a durable, reinforced bottom.

24This Tea Tree Body Wash For Infections, Itchiness, And Odors

In addition to its 5,000 reviews and 4.4-star rating, Purely Northwest body wash has also earned a spot as the number-one best seller in its category. That's because it doesn't just cleanse and moisture — it also soothes itchiness, overcomes unwanted odors, and tackles fungal infections like athlete's foot and ring worm using real tea tree oil. "This. Stuff. Is. Amazing," says one reviewer who has struggled with athlete's foot for years. "Now, about a month later, the skin on the affected foot looks just as clear as the healthy one."

25A Rounded, Painless Trimmer For Nose And Ear Hair

Nearly 13,000 reviewers can't be wrong. The Panasonic hair trimmer offers an efficient, painless way to remove nose (and ear) hair. Its rounded, dual-edge hypoallergenic blade reaches into the nostril to clip without irritation or accidental nicks. It's also water-resistant, cordless, battery-powered, and has a brilliant vortex cleaning system that flushes residue right out.

26This Sleek Knife Block Set That Cuts Through Food "Like Butter"

With the HomeHero knife set, you get 13 different knives, kitchen scissors, a peeler, and a two-in-one sharpener, all made from stainless steel and covered in a non-stick, matte black finish. You also get a modern, transparent knife block for storage and display — but this set isn't all about looks. Reviewers say the "knives are so sharp" and "cut like butter," even when used on more challenging foods like tough steak, soft cheese, and overly-ripe tomatoes.

27These Affordable Sheets With An Unbelievable 50,000 Reviews

Buyers have called the Mellanni microfiber set the "softest sheets ever," but since they're made from 100 percent polyester, they may also be the most low-maintenance ones. This set is resistant to fading, staining, shrinking, and wrinkling, and it's available in dozens of colors and seven different sizes — all for under $35. No wonder it's the number-one best selling sheet set and has over 50,000 reviews.

28A Portable Umbrella That's Anything But Average

At first glance, the Repel travel umbrella looks pretty standard — but over 5,000 reviewers "absolutely love it" because it's stronger, lighter, and much more thoughtfully designed. Even though it's portable and travel-friendly, it has resin-reinforced fiberglass ribs, a water-repelling Teflon exterior, a three-fold metal frame, a non-slip comfort handle, and an automatic one-button function. It even comes in several colors and designs, including rainbow and starry night.

29This "Amazing" Makeup Brush Set That Costs Just $8

The reviews section is filled with beauty lovers, but believe it or not, even the professionals stand by these BS-MALL makeup brushes: "I'm a makeup artist and I have a variety of brands...

Despite the fact that they're just $8, they feature silky, synthetic bristles, bold handles, a black-and-gold design, and ten different brush shapes to master any aspect of your look.

30Some Stove- And Microwave-Safe Bowls For Easy Poached Eggs

Poach eggs in any pan (or microwave-safe dish) with these COZILIFE bowls. They're made from a BPA-free, non-toxic, temperature-safe material, so you can just spray, crack, and cook. The result, according to reviewers? "These things are fantastic. I am a total klutz in the kitchen... And yet [my] poached eggs came out perfectly the first time I used these little beauties."

31A Temperature-Regulating Memory Foam Pillow For All Sleep Positions

Since memory foam conforms to the curves of your neck and head, it's an extremely popular choice for bedding — but it also tends to retain body heat. The WEEKENDER memory foam pillow is ideal for hot sleepers because it's infused with heat-regulating gel and has cooling ventilation holes throughout. It also has a removable, machine-washable cover, and reviewers say it offers the ideal height and density to support any sleeping position.

32An "Unbelievable," Moisture-Attracting Cream To Transform Cracked Feet

Reviewers say that O'Keeffe's foot cream yields "unbelievable results," and they're therefore "200 percent satisfied." Unlike your average moisturizer, which sits on the surface of your skin, this special formula uses glycerin and allantoin to penetrate dry, cracked layers and pull moisture deep into the skin. Currently, this item has 7,700 reviews and a 4.5-star rating.

33This Pure, Non-Greasy Oil For All Kinds Of Beauty Needs

A product with versatility will save you time and money — especially when it applies to your beauty routine.

Combined, these ingredients provide the nourishment and hydration reviewers need to soften cuticles, smooth hair, promote nail growth, brighten skin, and even out your complexion.

34This Grooming Tool That Reviewers Love — And So Do Their Pets

Reviewers love the Hertzko brush when it comes to grooming their pets and clearing away excess fur before it can end up on their furniture. They say it's the "best dog brush of this type [they've] ever found," but they also say their pets "will stand in line for this," so it's a win for all parties involved. The bent-wire bristles reach deep into fur to remove loose cat and dog hair, no matter the length — and when you're done, simply press the button to retract the bristles, and all the hair will drop into the garbage.

35A Protective Top Coat That Penetrates Polish So It Dries Faster

Even though it protects manicures and adds a layer of sheen, this is not your average top coat. Seche Vite is widely considered one of the best nail-care staples, and reviewers say it "lives up to the hype." It contains special, lacquer-penetrating ingredients that sink down into the base coat to significantly cut down on nail-drying time. "You can apply this immediately after applying color and it will be dry in minutes," says one reviewer who calls it "a gift from God to my nails."

36This Number-One Best Seller In Biotin Hair And Nail Supplements

If all topical products have failed to yield results, reviewers say that the Sports Research biotin supplement is one of the best ways to promote hair growth, thicken nails, and brighten skin "from the inside out." The supplements utilize vitamin B7 in a base of cold-pressed coconut oil, which aims to provide your body with the nourishment it needs to support growth.

37This Deeply-Nourishing Mask That Has Been Called "The Hair Savior"

When everyday conditioner just isn't cutting it, there's the Arvazallia hydrating hair mask. It utilizes argan oil to strengthen weak, damaged strands, detangle dry hair, and promote shine as well as manageability. "My hair was very thin and brittle to the point that running a brush through my hair was causing it to break," says one buyer, but after about five treatments, their hair was "silky smooth, thick, hydrated and had volume [they] had not seen since [they were] a teenager."

38A Power Bank That Can Charge The iPhone 8 More Than Five Times Over

Thanks to its extra large capacity, dual USB chargers, and built-in LED flashlight, the Jackery 12000mAh portable charger ensures that reviewers are never again left with a dead phone battery. In fact, even though it's just larger than the palm of your hand, it's strong enough to charge an iPhone 8 more than five times over — and its tough, aluminum shell travels well and comes in two colors.

39This Spill-Proof Travel Mug That Keeps Coffee Hot For Up To Seven Hours

The Contigo SnapSeal has over 10,000 reviews, which makes it one of the most popular travel mugs on Amazon. In addition to its pop-up, leak-proof mouthpiece, this one also has a vacuum-insulated stainless steel interior that keeps beverages hot for up to seven hours and cold for up to 18. It's also BPA-free, fits in standard cup holders, and is available in three sizes and six colors.

40A Smart, Reviewer-Approved Way To Floss Without Discomfort

We've all heard how important it is to floss regularly, but for many, it's a hassle — not to mention painful. The Waterpik, on the other hand, uses a pressurized stream of water to remove plaque and clean between teeth, without pain and bloody gums. No wonder it has over 13,000 reviews. In addition to its ten pressure settings, seven tips, and 90 full seconds of water capacity, this one also comes in seven different color options. "My mouth feels similar to how it does after I leave the dental hygienist," says one reviewer.

41This ACV-Infused Shampoo And Conditioner That Removes Buildup And Boosts Shine

Because it utilizes ingredients like coconut oil, avocado oil, and apple cider vinegar, this WOW shampoo and conditioner deeply cleanses and hydrates hair without stripping it of essential moisture — and without feeling heavy or greasy. According to reviewers, it works on any type of hair. They also say it "removes build-up," "gives [hair] bounce, shine, luster, and life," and "smells amazing."

42The Moisturizer That's Widely Considered The "Best Cream Out There"

This CeraVe moisturizing cream doesn't just keep dry skin at bay — it also helps to restore the skin's protective barrier using ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Reviewers say it's saved them "a trip to the dermatologist" and is the "moisturizer [they've] been searching for" because a little goes a very long way in terms of helping various skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, and dry, itchy patches. In fact, because it's hypoallergenic and made without fragrance, it's well-suited for the most sensitive skin.

43This Portable Towel That's Antibacterial, Quick-Drying, And Skin-Friendly

Whether you're headed to the beach, the gym, or the camp grounds, the Rainleaf microfiber towel is a must-pack. Even though it's extremely lightweight and compact, it's made from a special, skin-friendly material that's fast-drying and resistant to the growth of bacteria. Reviewers were so pleased with them for vacationing purposes, they ended up purchasing "the largest size for after the shower."
