2022 was full of surprising new products that promised to make our lives easier and more efficient. But with so many options, how can we know which ones are worth our money? Here at SPY, we’ve taken that matter into our own hands because we write about thousands of products monthly. We know from our readers what products they love the most.
This is a collection of the most suitable products with hundreds if not tens of thousands of reviews; and despite the usual Karens, they have maintained above four stars. Our list touches almost every category – from a protector that keeps your kiddo from squeezing their juice pouch to a door-stopping wedge and even a top-rated cordless vacuum for your car. If we’re being honest, you might want to go ahead and clear your cart and afternoon for this one. We have a feeling a lot of links are about to be clicked!
