As such, we were curious which products on Amazon were purchased the most in 2022 by you, dear readers. Given the patterns we've seen all year, we weren't surprised to see a ton of cleaning gadgets, smart devices, and buzzy popular beauty and wellness buys in the mix, but the one product that reigned supreme is a classic pair of AirPods.

What PEOPLE Readers Bought Most in 2022

Apple Airpods 2nd generation
Amazon

Playing your favorite tunes or catching up on your favorite podcast has never been more convenient than with Apple's second generation AirPods. With up to five hours of play time after a single charge, you can log those extra miles on your daily run or watch another movie on your flight without the dreaded loss of power. What's more? Pop them back in their case for a quick 15 minutes and you can enjoy another three hours of listening time.

And while the whole family is sure to want a pair of these, you can personalize them with your name or favorite emoji (or both!) free of charge, so you can ensure yours are never stolen (or at least that's the hope).

FurZapper Pet Hair Remover for Laundry
Amazon

We love our pets and would do anything for them, but we'd also do anything to no longer have to deal with the endless mounds of fur stuck to our clothing. Enter the Fur Zapper: Made of silicone, the circular pet-hair collector can be placed in the washing machine and dryer to help remove fur from your clothing and direct it into the drain or lint trap. They're reusable too, so enjoy endless loads of hair-free laundry.

One important note: Amazon shoppers say that the Zapper does not work if you use fabric softener or dryer sheets, so it's best to only use detergent to launder your clothes when using these fur magnets.

Enjoy over a year's supply of teeth whitening thanks to this deluxe kit of professional-grade Crest Whitestrips, including two one-hour express strips. Full results are said to be visible within 20 days, though Amazon shoppers say they notice gradual results even after the first use.

And for those with sensitive teeth, know that the whitening gel is the same enamel-safe ingredient (hydrogen peroxide) used by dentists, but if your teeth are particularly sensitive, consider leaving them on for half the time when first using to ensure you can tolerate the effects.
