It’s hard to know when you order something online if what you’ll be getting is the real deal or a cheap whisper of what you were promised. We’ve all been burned by that too-small sweater we dropped $70 on or that cheap projector that turned out to have a resolution of roughly … nine pixels by eight pixels.

Instead, we’re letting other people do the work. We trawled Amazon to find the stuff people are buying – and loving – right now. The fastest sellers, the highest-rated new arrivals, you name it. From super fast phone chargers to the hottest summer accessories, get in on the action yourself before these sell out, or worse: before all your less-cool friends have them, too.

Anker Quick Charge 3.0

Because of some weird licensing thing, Anker can’t say that this super portable, super cheap character can charge your iPhone very fast, the way it can a Samsung phone. But, get this, it charges just about everything at super fast speeds, including Apple devices. A near-essential for today’s modern tech lover.
