You need to see these 45 wildly popular things trending on Amazon

The collective wisdom of Amazon shoppers is a natural resource, like bees from a hive. When they start to swarm around something and the buzz is all five-star reviews, I like to swoop in and see if it’s something sweet I want in my life. It usually is, if not for me then for someone in my life that I like to buy gifts for. For that reason, you really need to see these wildly popular things trending on Amazon, because they’re exactly the sort of thing that gets the hive swarming.

You wouldn’t think that lots of people — let alone over 25,000 of them — would get excited about a box of clothes hangers. But I read the reviews, and you know what? I think I need those, too! I already have a drawer full of backup power banks, though, so I didn’t think the excitement over one more would move me to click “Add to Cart” — but it did. (There’s, like, a stadium full of people raving about this thing.) And I have no regrets. Still, it takes a pet parent to appreciate why so many people are carrying on in superlatives about a stain and odor remover, but I get it — and so does my adorable cat.

So, I’m warning you. You’ll be caught up in the swarm and want the things that everyone is talking about. Read on and you’ll see.

1. These tablets that clean your coffee maker

One tablet of Afresh cleans hard water and mineral buildup in your coffee machine so that your coffee never tastes bitter. Just do it every few weeks. It’s easy and there are three tablets included that won’t leave the taste of vinegar in your coffee the way other methods usually do.

2. A set of risers to create storage under your bed

There is a lot of wasted space under the bed that’s hard to convert to useful storage because most things — suitcases, storage boxes, tote boxes — won’t slide under the frame. This eight-piece set of strong risers in a variety of heights, lift the bed (or even the couch) up a little higher so you can take full advantage of all that space.

3. This splatter screen for cleaner frying

If you have given up on fried chicken, pan fried scallops, or even pan-cooked bacon because the splatter and mess it creates is so much trouble to clean up, you need this splatter screen. Set it over the pan while your burger is cooking to keep all the grease splatter in the pan. Then put it in the dishwasher. It doesn’t alter the cooking, only keeps your kitchen clean, and skin-safe.

4. A citrus squeezer that also measures

When a recipe calls for a cup of lemon juice, this juicer that also measures is the simple way to get there. Press a halved lemon, lime, or orange over the reamer and grind so the juice flows into the lower container, which has a nonslip surface to grab counters. The domed top is a measuring cup for accurate recipes.

5. A press for uniform burgers & clean hands

Reviewers love this burger press because it easily creates a stack of uniformly shaped burgers from your own ground meat mix (and doesn’t require you use your hands to make shapes out of raw meat — because yuck). It also makes fast and easy stuffed burgers, if you like your cheese or mushrooms on the inside.

6. This rack that brings space & order to cupboards

This stackable can rack lets you take advantage of the vertical space in your cupboards and makes it easier to find things (because it lets you see all the labels), and the cans automatically slide forward when you remove one.

Reviewers are obsessed, raving about them, and give them almost 26,000 five-star reviews.

8. These picture-hanging strips that don’t hurt the walls

These adhesive picture hangers transform the process of hanging framed art by removing the need to drill into the wall. Stick one side to the wall and the other to the art — then, press the two pieces together. It makes it easy to get art straight and comes off the wall without damage when you move or change your mind.

9. These pour-spout clips for bagged goods

These are genius. Clip one of these four pour spouts onto your bags of nuts, cereal, rice, or any dry goods that come in a bag, and they’ll transform the opening into a solid pouring top so you don’t have to transfer foods to another container (or risk spilling grain all over the place when pouring from a floppy bag). The lid seals the bag for freshness, too.

10. A brilliant phone mount for your bike

If your favorite mode of transport is your bike, you want navigation on it, right? This simple and secure phone mount wraps around the handlebar and stretches securely around the corners of your phone — right in its case — so you can put it in the spot that’s most comfortable when you ride.

12. These tongs designed to rest on the edge of the pan

The silicone-covered tips of these clever tongs are designed to grab and hold food without scraping nonstick cookware, and the bent handle grabs the edge of the pan so the tongs don’t slide into the food. Plus, the retractable button on the end locks them closed. The end result is a pair of tongs that exceeds expectations. Also, when you set them on the counter, the food-covered spoon parts stays aloft.

13. A wide-angled rear-view mirror so you can see more

If you feel a bit blind to what’s happening behind you when you drive, this extra wide rear-view mirror really opens up your view so you can see in all directions without moving the mirror. It’s much wider — at over 10 inches — than the standard mirror, and is convex to provide a complete view of what’s behind you (including the back seat). It simply clips over your current mirror.

14. A hamper that fits in small spaces & has wheels

This tall, slender laundry hamper slides easily into the bathroom, a small closet, or between the washer and dryer — yet it easily holds a week’s worth of dirty laundry.

The super sharp blade cuts the bagel perfectly in half but is inside a plastic guard so you can’t get hurt. It comes in five colors.

18. A stain remover with a cult following

This stain and odor remover is wildly popular (with over 42,000 five star reviews), and it seems — from the passion of those reviews — that this is mostly because it can remove odors that nothing else can. A natural enzymatic bacteria is activated when it encounters organic proteins and it eats the cause of the odor. This also removes the stains caused by hard-to-eliminate urine, vomit, and more.

24. A small laminator people are obsessed with

28. A can opener that does all the work for you

If your hands are already overworked, don’t make them open cans when this simple, inexpensive battery-operated can opener is here for you. You barely even have to touch the can; it spins it around, removing the lid at the side and creating a smooth edge while removing the lid. Can 31,000 five-star reviews be wrong?
