The best, highest-rated products on Amazon (toppppp.com)

This is a side project that displays the 100 best, highest rated products on Amazon.com.

All of the products have close to 5 stars, and enough reviews to make the rating significant (usually over 50). Each product also has a very short summary of its Amazon reviews.

The information was gathered by manually going through hundreds of Amazon pages and filtering out all the noise and all the products with too few reviews, removing products that are too similar (no need for two sets of steak knives), and making various judgment calls like choosing a product that's 0.1 stars lower because it's $150 cheaper. Then, I read through hundreds and hundreds of Amazon reviews in order to write a short summary of why each product is awesome.

I've been running some ads on Reddit and it's gotten a great reception so far. Would love to hear what everyone here thinks.
