A mini desk vacuum? A pair of pasta-shaped pot holders? Amazon is a black hole of online shopping—there's so much to choose from that it can be hard to know what's actually worth buying. (Spoiler alert: The pot holders probably aren't.)
To help make your "add to cart" decisions easier, Amazon constantly updates its list of best-sellers, which are the most popular products that people are buying. Here are 25 of our favorite finds, from the best smart speaker to the insanely popular rapid egg cooker.
1. The cult-favorite Instant Pot
Say hello to the kitchen appliance that people can't stop talking about: The Instant Pot. Chosen as our experts' number one multi-cooker, the Ultra model is a busy home cook's dream, with 10 different functions from pressure cooker to slow cooker to steamer. This means that dinners that used to take over an hour to make can now be on the table in just 20 minutes.
