Most Popular Picks 2022

Wirecutter picks can make life better, easier, and a lot more enjoyable. This year, many of our readers seemed to lean into self-care, picking up air purifiers, electric toothbrushes, beard trimmers, and bathroom scales. Others focused on travel, investing in luggage and portable power banks. And plenty of readers showed us they really appreciate a clean home, through purchases of all kinds of vacuums. Here are the top 100 most popular picks of the year.

Media Mentions from Wirecutter

Wirecutter’s mission is to recommend what really matters. Each year, we independently test and review thousands of products to help you find just what you need. Our goal is to save you time and eliminate the stress of shopping, whether you’re looking for everyday gear or gifts for loved ones.

We strive to be the most trusted product recommendation service around, and we work with total editorial independence. We won’t post a recommendation unless our writers and editors have deemed something the best through rigorous reporting and testing.
