Want to know what was flying off the virtual shelves during Prime Day? Hint: A lot of goodies you'll probably want in your cart as well. (Photo: Amazon)(Amazon)
Are you as nosy as we are when it comes to what other people bought during Prime Day? If the answer is yes, today's your lucky day. We rounded up the top 25 products Yahoo readers frantically added to their carts during last week's savings extravaganza. In the mix: MacBook Air, a Henckels knife set and an Insignia Fire TV for just $65. And there's a lot more where those came from. Prime Week might be over, but it's never not a good time to snag a best-in-class find. (Or two. Or three.)
And the awards for most popular Prime Day products go to:
"After struggling without a phone mount for years, we finally sprung for one. After seeing many kinds that took up space in your cup holder or mounted on vents, we didn't want that. Our dashboard is curved, so a flat mount would not work, either. Alas, we found this one, and it's perfect! Easy to mount, easy to slide the the phone into. With over 2,000 miles using it, we give it five stars!" said a marveling motorist.
"This new version of the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is amazing!" exclaimed an excited reviewer. "It's fast and enhances your TV experience to crisp HD quality. Easy and quick setup within 5-8 minutes! Love it! It's fantastic! ... Many TV shows, movies, apps, music, news and more to enjoy! Highly recommended!"
"This product really does work," assured a happy customer. "Before using this shampoo, my hair would fall out by clumps. After the second use, I was rarely losing any hairs. Amazing! I will definitely continue to use."
"Ever hear the saying 'Dynamite comes in small packages'? Well, I was surprised to see that it was true when I bought this drill to use for around-the-house projects. The first task I put this drill through was to set on level two (low torque) and mix a five-gallon bucket of paint thinner," said one fixer-upper. "To my surprise, it was able to mix three batches and one batch of mortar mix without breaking a sweat. It is still working as new without issue after the beating I put it through. This is one mighty drill."
Wrote one satisfied user: "I love the overall look and feel of this product. The sound quality and audio quality both perform very well. They connect very easily across Apple devices and it doesn't take much to start using them. ... The battery life is just awesome. I can use these any time of day and travel with them."
"These little wireless earbuds are great! The sound quality is fantastic if you want to listen to music or watch TV shows and movies when you don't want to disturb anyone. The sound is crystal clear and you don't even have to turn the volume up very high," one happy customer said.
"We have bought an Echo Dot for every room," shared a repeat buyer. "Setup was a snap. It is wonderful to know that Alexa is always there when we need her. Playing music throughout the house is a very nice feature. We sometimes wonder what we did before having Echo Dots everywhere. Great value!"
“This is the best auto vacuum I have used,” wrote a very content customer. “It gets the things that other vacuums have not, like the fine dust that collects on the dash and console. The attachments seem built for a car as does the design and shape of this machine. Kudos to the design engineers. ThisWorx is well named because it does.”
"This massage gun is a lifesaver," raved a relieved reviewer. "I have a mostly sedentary job, but I also work out frequently, so my muscle pains are just all over the place! The different attachments for specific areas are so nice. On top of relieving the obvious problem areas like my shoulders and back, this thing has me massaging tight, aggravated areas I didn't even know were bothering me! I frickin' love this lil guy."
"At 60 years old, I have tried a lot of products for skin care," shared one former skeptic. "I have not been more impressed with any product ... it has a light scent, you don't need to use a lot. My bottle is half gone after a few months. It has completely erased some old scars from some facial surgery. My skin is much more toned and wrinkles are minimized!"
"The battery life is phenomenal," wrote a five-star fan. "I can take it on the go and use it all day with no issues at all ... The performance is spectacular. It runs circles around anything else I have that’s Windows-based ... For the majority of people, this is going to be their go-to laptop. What you get for an entry-level Mac is stellar."
"It's a game-changer," said a happy customer. "This toothbrush rivals the performance of high-end brands like Panasonic but at a fraction of the price. The brush provides a thorough and effective clean, leaving my teeth feeling refreshed and polished."
"We just bought this set and it is awesome," said an impressed Insignia fan. "Bright screen with crisp images. Smart TV. Great remote. Unbelievably great sound with plenty of power and good base. Wonderful ATSC 1.0 tuner (that is more sensitive than my $600 50-inch Samsung LED purchased five years ago). High-end feel. ... How can they manufacture such a superior product at such a low price?"
"Super easy to set up and get going," shared an impressed viewer. "Very nice picture. Controls are easy and make sense, to me, anyway. Switching from the home screen to streaming to viewing over the air channels is simple and smart. Glad I made this purchase."
One five-star fan called them the "best knives around," before adding, “These knives are easy to hold and are comfortable in your hand. They're by far the best knives I’ve ever used. They bring the quality, durability, comfort and versatility you would expect from a premium knife set."
"Living in [an] apartment building with packages stolen is frustrating. After I installed this, I do not have to worry too much about my packages because it hooks up to Alexa Show. I can see who is at the door and keep better eye of my delivery and packages," said one user. "Best thing I love is I can talk to people outside without having to open the door or when I am out. Visitors can even record messages for you with [a] Ring Protect subscription. Good investment if you are a single woman living alone for safety and protection."
"This does an amazing job. It is my third robot vacuum. My first two were Roombas. This was priced significantly lower and I cannot see any difference in the work it does. It is much, much easier to clean than the Roomba, and has a better phone app than Roomba. You will NOT regret this purchase," raved one fan. "After several weeks, I was so impressed that I bought one for my daughter. She is equally impressed with its performance. My house is all tile but hers is hardwood and carpet and this vacuum handles all of this easily. I highly recommend this!!"
"This is the best thing on the planet! What one gets for the price point is worth ten of them," one shopper explained. "Great battery life and more attachments than I know what to do with."
"I have been whitening my teeth for almost 15 years and I will never use another brand," wrote a loyal Crest user. "One of the first things people notice about me is how white my teeth are. I always tell them Crest Whitestrips are my secret. My dentist has even complimented me on them. They do cause some teeth sensitivity but I use sensitive teeth toothpaste and it helps a whole lot, as I only have mild discomfort for a few hours. The results make any discomfort worth it. I highly highly recommend these, and will be a lifelong user. Buy these for a whiter smile."
"Put this glob to work on my 17-year-old family/work truck and it was unbelievable!" exclaimed an amazed reviewer. "17 years of dirt, grime, dust, food, oil and everything else under the sun gone. I squeezed it between the AC vents, the seat rails, the screws under the seats, the crevices between the plastics, the seatbelt catchers, the bolts on the floor that hold the seats in place where everything gets stuck in the little grooves and won’t come out and it all came out! Not gonna lie, it was a dark brown and nasty at the end, so I tossed it in the can, but I immediately ordered three more for our other cars. Can’t recommend it any more than that. Outstanding stuff!"
“I was very surprised by how this fabric storage container holds its shape. I was also surprised by how much it holds,” said a happy organizer. “I used them to store blankets, beach towels and comforters. They also stack nicely. I really like that the sides are clear so you can see inside without opening them.”
Just take it from this five-star fan, who wrote: "If I could give 10 stars I would. I cannot believe the difference in only one week ... I have a collagen disorder that makes my skin very thin and prone to crepe, stretching and cuts, and after only one week my skin feels thicker and I’ve had no mysterious cuts/openings. The crepey skin on my 53-year-old stomach and arms is GONE. Do not hesitate to buy this miracle product!"
"I didn’t realize how much lint was in my dryer, and I clean the lint trap after every load. Still, I was amazed by how much lint got past it. The drying time for each load has been cut down by 10 to 15 minutes; all the lint must have been affecting the efficiency of my dryer. The dryer cleaning kit will pay for itself with savings on electric bills," said one rave reviewer.
One happy customer wrote: "I’ve had this for a year and I love it! It may look small, but I fit two grocery bags' worth of trash in this little can! I appreciate the adjustable straps on it as well, so I could perfectly fit it in my car. My only complaint is that I wish they sold the trash liners that originally come with it separately, as I’d buy more of them! However, I’ve just been using it without a liner since I ran out and I haven’t had any leaks or accidents at all."
“Like a lot of people, I eat at my desk," shared this reviewer. "Crumbs were getting everywhere. Plus, my cat loved to lie on my keyboard if I was using my laptop. It does such a great job of getting fur and crumbs up. So much better than an air can. Must have for all office desks.”
