It’s arguably the most convenient retailer ever, but Amazon offers more than just easy shopping. In addition to its 1.9 million selling partners worldwide, the company also has several household brands that sell some pretty popular products.

Some of the pricier Amazon brand items are highly reviewed, which can mean they’re great investments. Plus, if you’re a Prime member, you’ll enjoy free shipping and free returns — in the contiguous U.S. — on most items, allowing you to shop with confidence.

From household items to clothing, Amazon offers a notable selection of branded products that cost a pretty penny but are worth the added expense. Keep reading to find seven items you might want to add to your shopping cart.
