35 Of The Absolutely Best Products On Amazon, According To Oddly Enthusiastic Amazon Reviewers

Buying products online can often be hit and miss. There have been times where I've thought I found a cute shirt at an unbelievable price only to have it arrive looking completely different than the picture — or I bought what I thought was going to be a cool kitchen gadget until it snapped in half during its second use. However, for the seasoned online shopper, there's a simple fix to prevent yourself from wasting money on useless junk — go on Amazon and make sure you're picking products with five-star reviews.

If you think about it, it makes sense — why try sites that take forever to ship and have no reviews section when you could snag one of Amazon's top best-selling items instead? Why gamble with your money on places that have horrible return policies when you can put it into reviewer-backed gems that actually do what they say they do?

Whether it's an alarm clock that forcibly shakes your bed to make you get up or a water flosser that has over 10,000 reviews, these genius products on Amazon have all been reviewed so extensively that you can rest assured you're spending money on quality — instead of taking a risk with your last paycheck.

One Amazon reviewer raved that not only does this gadget make her want to go out and buy more pineapples, but writes: "It's so fun and easy to extract most of the innards. I literally will be eating more pineapples now."

Gonna be real honest here: I have never seen a product on Amazon with over 15,000 reviews, and the Active Wow natural teeth whitening powder has over 18,000, with 85 percent of those being four stars or higher. Using organic coconut activated charcoal powder, this teeth whitener works by pulling the stains off your teeth while orange seed oil (a natural teeth whitener) helps to smooth the process with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

The first product in its class accepted by the American Dental Association, this water flosser uses a combination of dental water jet pressure and pulsations to clean deep between teeth and below the gum line where regular brushing and flossing can't reach.
