Products I Love

Sue Raisty -

A favorite interview question for Product Managers is "What's your favorite product and why?"

Here are some products I truly love. They either solve a major problem for me, actually deliver on their promises when their competitors don't, or are just such a joy to use that I am left with a feeling of delight and amazement, even after owning them for years.

  1. Rent the Runway - Dresses for formal events go in and out of style very quickly and also cost a fortune. I love that I can rent a high-end designer dress for less than I can buy a less-nice dress.
  2. Prescription sunglasses from Costco - I can see clearly in the bright sun for a good price.
  3. My Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan - Everything about this minivan feels like it was built specifically to address my needs as a mom, someone who likes to car camp, and who likes driving an EV.
  4. The Denman hairbrush with natural bristle & nylon pins - It really makes my hair look smoother and shinier.
  5. Clorox Color Catchers - I don't know how these things keep that red sock from turning all laundry pink, but they actually work.
  6. Nespresso coffee maker & Aerocinno milk steamer - Mmmmm. Good coffee. At home!
  7. Benefit Roller-Lash Mascara - It actually does curl my lashes. I have no idea how, but it does.
  8. Downy Unstoppables - My workout clothes are no longer embarassingly stinky, even after washing.
  9. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers - They actually do remove scuffs/stains from walls, counters, everything, without damaging the underlying surface.
  10. CeraVe Retinol Serum - It honestly does get rid of light wrinkles!
  11. Any Macbook Pro - I've analyzed it, and I save 3 full working days a year by using a reliable Macbook instead using a comparable Windows machine and dealing with all the Windows IT issues.
  12. Garmin Forerunner watch - How did I enjoy running before I had this?
  13. TurboTax - I am a control freak so I like to do my own taxes. My taxes are sometimes complex and I can still do them with TurboTax for a lot less than paying a CPA.
  14. My DIY sectional sofa from Home Reserve - I was able to create the perfect sectional sofa space by ordering one piece at a time. It's easy to reconfigure too.
