Here are 10 Amazon shopper favorites:

“I use these bands daily with my physical therapy patients!” a buyer noticed. “I love the versatility and the variable resistance. I especially like the carry case because I’m on the go and it keeps my selection of resistance bands in one place in my backpack. Easy to find and easy to use!”

“I didn’t think I could sweat any more…but you could literally hear the splashing,” says another happy, sweaty customer, It’s just what I needed. This band is fantastic and I have no complaints. Do yourself a favor and buy this.”

“I’ll keep it simple,” shared one adventurer. “Recently I got stranded in the backwoods of the Adirondack mountains. I ran out of water early on the first day and used it until I was rescued in the morning of the third day. IT IS WORKING. This helped me save my life. If you hike, YOU NEED THIS PRODUCT.”

“This portable folding stove worked perfectly when the power went out during Hurricane Ian,” shared one grateful shopper. “I was able to cook for myself when the electricity went out. I highly recommend it.

“Small, light and portable. That light packs a punch,” wrote one Five-Star fan. “Swivel head is great too.” Another satisfied buyer who used it after Hurricane Ian called it “a reliable little flashlight.”

“Bought this for my partner,” wrote one satisfied customer. “…He absolutely loves it. We just had a basic cotton and rope hammock and this is 1,000 times more comfortable and fits him and our two children. It doesn’t make an awful snapping noise when they move and the straps are very heavy duty We’ve always had to order separate straps because the ones that come with the product aren’t usually that great, but these are hands down the best straps we own now.”

“Those early tournament games are getting cold,” shared one of around 19,000 five-star shoppers. “It was a godsend for our last baseball tournament, which started at 8:30 am. The key is that it’s warmed up in a bag or under a blanket for it to work best…Keeps my hands and lap warm and lasts for several hours.”

One five-star reviewer gushed, “I do this with interval training… My Fitbit showed my heart rate at 150bpm and I was sweating a ton. This might be the best cardio machine on Amazon. Works for your whole body, super small and super cheap.”
