The 25 most popular products ZDNET readers bought last month

With fall well underway and the holidays on the horizon, many retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon are ushering in the season with serious sales as we inch closer to the Black Friday shopping season. 

But no matter the time of year, ZDNET’s team of expert product testers and editors search through all of the best products and deals coming and going to help you find the best value on all the products you wanted (and those you didn’t know you needed). Now, we’ve gotten some data that shows what items ZDNET readers purchased the most during the month of October, including during Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days sale. 

Our team has collected the top-selling products across different retailers this past month. The following are listed in order of units sold through the links clicked from ZDNET stories.
