Solo Stove, AirPods, Shark vacuum — From AirPods to Solo Stoves, here are the products that Yahoo editors have crowned the year's best. (Solo Stove, Apple, Amazon)

We test hundreds of products every year to separate the cream from the crop — from car vacuums to air fryers to the fluffiest towels on the web. Two things we've learned from all this testing: All products are not created equal, and price isn't a good indicator of quality. In fact, some of our favorite finds fell on the lower end of the budget spectrum for their particular categories — and we made sure to share those finds with you every chance we got.

So what's the best of the best? We've been keeping track of our editors' faves and put together a list below. Whether you're looking for the best coffee maker to end all coffee makers, a flattering pair of jeans or some great wireless earbuds, we have the créme de la creme here. Keep scrolling for our favorite editor-tested finds of 2024.
