I’m very guilty of buying a lot of products through Amazon, including everything from dog food to face wash. The convenience of having items delivered right to my home in a matter of days is just too good to pass up, and I usually have a cart full of Amazon items waiting at any given time.
In addition to the fast shipping, part of the appeal of shopping on Amazon is that you can buy just about anything on the site, including a lot of products that we’ve tested firsthand and loved. Whether you’re in the market for a new vacuum, pillow, water bottle, or something else entirely, you can get many of our top picks on Amazon, and even better, most of them come with free two-day shipping if you're a Prime member! What more could you ask for?
1. An incredibly powerful cordless vacuum cleaner
This vacuum will become your go-to for daily cleaning.
Speaking from personal experience, Dyson cordless vacuums will ruin all other vacuums for you—they have enough power to tackle just about any cleaning job, and you never have to search for a plug to use them. In our house, we use our Dyson stick vacuum 95% of the time, only breaking out our upright vacuum when we need to deep-clean rugs.
In our testing, the Dyson V11 Torque Drive Cordless Vacuum was the best Dyson stick vacuum, providing powerful cleaning, great battery life, and awesome features like an LCD screen and automatic suction adjustment. Yes, it’s expensive, but it will make it infinitely easier to clean up both big and small messes around your home.

2. This cult-favorite adjustable memory foam pillow
You can remove or add filling from this pillow to suit your sleep style.
Whether you sleep on your side, stomach, or back, you’ll love the Coop Home Goods Original Pillow, which came out on top in our best bed pillow testing. These pillows are stuffed with shredded memory foam, which we found strikes the perfect balance of supportive yet comfy, and the best part is that you can open up the pillow and add or remove filling to suit your sleeping style. Each pillow even comes with a ½ pound of extra fill in case you really want to plump it up.

If you’re looking for a tablet for your children, look no further than the Amazon Fire HD 8.

The Fire HD 8 comes with one year of Amazon Kids+, which gives you access to more than 13,000 apps, games, videos, books, and other content, and the tablet is housed in a squishy bumper case that protects the screen if it’s ever banged or dropped.

The Gravity Blanket lives up to its hype.
Weighted blankets feel like a big, comforting hug after a hard day, and hands-down the best weighted blanket is the Gravity Blanket—yes, the same one that went viral on Kickstarter all those years ago. This blanket comes in several colors and weights, ranging from 15 to 35 pounds, and it has a soft removable cover that makes it incredibly easy to clean (a common woe with other weighted blankets).

These noise-cancelling headphones are great for working in busy spaces.
Noise-cancelling headphones are a game-changer if you (normally) work in a bustling office or commute on a loud subway. The Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones might be pricey, but they’re the best noise-cancelling headphones we’ve tested, thanks to their comfortable fit, impressive audio, and ability to eliminate ambient noise. The headphones adapt to both your environment and movement to cancel out sound, and they offer around 30 hours of battery life, so you don’t even have to charge them every day.

Air fryers are all the rage right now, and when we tested the most popular air fryers out there, we were particularly impressed with the Philips Airfryer XXL. Yes, it’s fairly expensive, but it has an extra-large 3-pound capacity that can hold a whole chicken or two bags of french fries. It has five one-touch programs—air fry, bake, grill, roast, reheat, dehydrate, and toast—and it delivered perfectly crispy, crunchy food in our testing.

It features three individually controlled burners and porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates, and the cart design has two side tables, six tool hooks, and large wheels.

This affordable robot vacuum has a thin profile that fits under furniture.
If you want the convenience of a robot vacuum without the high price of, say, a Roomba, the Eufy Robovac 11S is the best affordable robot vacuum that we’ve tested. This unassuming little vacuum picks up an impressive amount of dirt, and it’s one of the quietest models you can buy. It also has a thin design that allows it to fit under more pieces of furniture, but because of its low price, it doesn’t come with any smart features and barriers to control where it cleans, but honestly, most people won't need those extra bells and whistles.
