While TikTok hosts plenty of humiliating faux pas, adorable cat clips, and heartwarming mini-dramas, we love it most for the product recommendations. TikTokers have really tried everything – from booty-lifting leggings to eccentric cleaning hacks – so if something goes viral on the almighty app, we’ll be on the lookout. Well, big news! Amazon has come on board and started stocking these hot products, and some of them are even on sale. The retail giant did us a huge favor by grouping them all together on its Internet Famous page, and we’ve curated a list of some of the particularly fun goodies to be found there.
This nifty vacuum has been trending on TikTok since the pandemic began, and with good reason — it really is a master at cleaning your carpet, car, upholstery, and literally any stained furniture. TikTok users are certainly not the only ones obsessed with this useful (and, dare we say, cute) gizmo – nearly 40,000 five-star verified Amazon shoppers swear by it, too.
“All I can say is WOW!” noted one reviewer. “This little machine is amazing. I’m very embarrassed at how my chair looked before but now it looks so amazing. Super easy to assemble, clean, use and the perfect size to store. If you don’t have one or are considering one , DO IT!”
If you haven’t tried an air fryer before, get it from us – it will change your life. And the Ninja AF101 is one of the best out there. It won’t replace your oven for large meals, but you can cook and reheat everything from roasted veggies to last night’s stew to chicken wings in this handy little appliance.
“Oh my god, I want to use this for everything,” said one satisfied customer. “I like to think of this as a personal sized convection oven on steroids. Veggie burgers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Roast vegetables, fish fingers, chicken, burgers, fries, fish, all with about 30-40% faster cook times than in the oven and only three minutes of preheat time (vs. six to 10 minutes in the oven).”

Echo Dot 3rd Gen
The third-generation Echo Dot is as compact as its name suggests, but it can control your smart home, answer questions, tell you the weather, and more.
$20 at Amazon
The Echo Dot is so popular that 834,000 buyers have given it a perfect five-star rating. The device is a small but powerful speaker capable of streaming music from Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Sirius XM and more. Alexa is included, of course, and you can always ask her to turn off the lights and provide updates on the weather, sports and more. Also, you can talk to it to control other smart home devices.
“I love the fact that I don’t have to touch anything; I can just talk to Alexa and she does the rest,” shared one five-star fan. “It’s a great product, especially when cooking in the kitchen. You can ask Alexa for recipes or have her announce things across devices to warn or notify your family when they’re in separate rooms!”

Wibimen round ice cube tray
Round off your cocktails with this ice mold with ice balls instead of cubes. Made from hard plastic, it releases ice balls with just a twist more easily than silicone ice molds. Just add water, seal and freeze.
$26 at Amazon
For classy cocktails, try swapping out your ice cubes for ice balls. Did we mention there are special bowls that can create these little balls of ice cream? There are. They work like a regular ice cube tray, only after you fill the tray with water you put a lid on it before putting it in the freezer. As the water cools, it expands and forms the rounded indentations. Sounds complicated, but there are over 5,000 buyers who love it.
“I have to be honest – I never loved looking at ice cream so much until I got this!” wrote one satisfied customer. “They’re super easy to take out and I love that it comes with a storage container for building the ice cream and a little scoop (so cute).”
But for the in-the-know buyer, the best sponge for the kitchen is the Scrub Daddy. Curious? This unique sponge is firm in cold water for stubborn dirt and softens in warm water for gentler washes. This means that while it’s tough on encrusted pans and sink grime, it’s safe to use on surfaces like glass, stainless steel and non-stick coatings. Over 46,000 buyers give it a perfect five-star rating.
“I happened to be watching a cleaning video on TikTok of all places and the cleaner was amazed at this ridiculous looking sponge,” shared one enthusiastic reviewer. “I thought what the heck, the price is right and I was sick of my sponges smelling. They are amazing! Grooves to get into crooks and crevices, a smile to wash cutlery, perfect size for your hand. Me love them. It feels ridiculous but they really are that useful.”
Not everyone is into Robovacs, and that’s okay – the internet still loves stands from Shark, especially the Navigator Lift Away. It uses a HEPA filter to trap dust and allergens, and it has a special feature that turns off the brush so you can seamlessly go from a soft carpet to a hard floor. But it’s the suction power that impresses people.
“First-class suction power,” said a satisfied buyer. “Great for getting pet hair up. Vacuumed up a whole hose sock AND GOED ON!” Another buyer, who calls it the Cadillac of vacuums, admitted, “My friend says the carpet is a completely whiter shade now after vacuuming than it has been in the last five years… this vacuum cleaner is fantastic.”
If you’re the type of person who loses their keys or wallet more times than necessary (ie even once), it might be time to get yourself a Bluetooth tracker. This one from Tile is small enough to clip to a keychain, and you can track it using the smartphone app via Bluetooth. More than 18,000 shoppers have given it a perfect five-star rating for saving them hours of frustration.
“After my dog removed my keys and it took me four days to find them, I bought one of these and it has saved me countless hours of the hassle of having to look for my keys,” gushed one Five-Star fan . “Usually it only takes a few minutes to connect to them and make them ring.”
TikToker say The Pink Stuff is the best, fastest, and cheapest way to get rid of almost any stain. All you have to do is dab it on any spot you want to remove and then scrub it away with a cloth or sponge. Chefs swear by it getting rid of stubborn stains on cutlery, pots and pans, while parents insist it’s the best product for removing permanent marker stains left by toddler Picassos. With more than 117,000 five-star Amazon reviews, clicking “Add to Cart” should be a breeze.
“Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer!” she wrote. “I used it to completely clean my fiberglass shower. Nothing else would do, and this stuff made my shower almost new again in a single use. Since then we’ve removed a weird chalk film from our garage door and removed wall markings and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a glass (or three) of this stuff.
These reusable kitchen towels are made from sustainable cellulose and cotton to make them super absorbent. You can use them like a regular paper towel, but they’re strong enough to scrub dishes with baked-on food. It didn’t take long for the internet to recognize their effectiveness – to date, these wipes have received more than 38,000 five-star reviews.
“You can really scrub with this,” wrote one satisfied kitchen cleaner. “They never feel as gross as a sponge… I’ve soaked them in bleach, thrown them in the washing machine and they come out great every time.” I’ve been using the same two for a month now and they still look great; when things go downhill, I can compost them.”
TikToker are trumpeting what we already knew: the Black+Decker Dustbuster is the ultimate portable vacuum. Although it was famous long before the internet, it has been improved with each iteration. This has a crevice tool to reach nooks and crannies your regular vacuum can’t reach, and the larger (bagless) dust container lets you stick around for extra long. And its 33,000+ five-star reviews send a message loud and clear.
“I received this for cleaning my cute bunny’s enclosure,” wrote one happy rabbit owner. “Previously I had to go in with a paper towel and a small broom to try and scoop it all out and it didn’t go well. This vacuum removes ALL the clutter from his bed and blanket (sheets, poop, hair and excess hay from his toys). I also love that it’s not super loud so he’s not scared to death of it.
