As shopping experts, we’re constantly on the lookout for top-notch product recommendations. Testing home gadgets, fashion pieces, and beauty tools takes time and money — which is why Reddit is an excellent place to crowdsource.

Reddit’s popular Buy It for Life thread is a forum for people to discuss “practical, durable, and quality-made products that are made to last,” according to the site. It’s full of product inquiries and recommendations, and it has acquired more than 2 million members.

We scoured the thread and rounded up the most popular Amazon picks. Users have raved about Dyson vacuums, Lodge cookware, Levi’s jeans, and so many other gems. Read on to see our top 10 finds while so many of them are on sale.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner, $375 (Save 20%)

It seems like Reddit users are always on the hunt for a good vacuum recommendation. While plenty of makes and models received positive feedback, the majority of participants chose Dyson as the most reliable brand — and the brand’s V8 cordless stick vacuum is on sale at Amazon now.

The vacuum is equipped with two powerful suction modes that can be used on carpet, upholstery, and bare floors like hardwood and tile. It has impressive maneuverability thanks to a slim, lightweight design and swiveling head that can swiftly steer around obstacles. The vacuum also has an anti-tangling brush roll that prevents knotting and clogging after picking up hair, and it can even convert from an upright device into a handheld to clean couches, car seats, windowsills, and more.

Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneakers, $70 (Save 30%)

Another popular Amazon pick is the Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneaker, which one Reddit user wore on an eight-week trip to Europe last summer and “never had any pain.” They also noted the shoes’ “wide toe box” and shared, “I can walk for miles in them.”

The sneakers have a cushioned insole that adapts to the shape of your foot to provide optimal support. They also have a durable rubber outsole with a subtle 1.5-inch platform for some fun (yet comfortable) flair. Their retro design is timelessly stylish and easy to wear with jeans, trousers, or dresses. You can pick up a pair on sale in sizes 5 through 13 and in 18 styles.

Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, $20 (Save 42%)

Reddit users have been raving about Lodge’s cookware for years, specifically this trusty cast iron skillet that one commenter dubbed a “kitchen workhorse.” As a fellow longtime user and lover of the pan, I can confirm that it’s worth the hype, so act fast to snag it while it’s marked down to just $20 this weekend.

The skillet is made from sturdy cast iron and has a pre-seasoned coating that’s baked into the metal, which makes it naturally nonstick. When the pan is hot enough, eggs, fish filets, chicken breasts, and more are easy to flip, even without a thick coating of oil or butter underneath. It has impressive heat retention and is also oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can whip up skillet cornbread or cookies with ease.

We found tons of other top-rated Amazon picks in Reddit’s But It for Life thread. Check out fan-favorite bed pillows, hair dryers, portable chargers, and more below.
