Inspiration
Everyone has spent time searching for the perfect item--this extension helps you narrow down your options and save time!
What it does
From an initial search on Amazon.com and a key word describing your perfect item, this Chrome extension searches through the top search hits' reviews and lets you know which products have the most reviews matching your taste!
