I spent the better part of last summer trading in my old gas chainsaw for a cordless model, and I am never going back. The best battery chainsaws in have closed the power gap with gas so much that for most homeowners and even some pros, there is no good reason to deal with carburetor … Read more
Looking for the best lawn mowers that actually deliver a clean cut without the hassle? Our team spent eight weekends putting 12 cordless and gas mowers through real yard work, from quarter-acre lawns to overgrown thick grass patches. We measured runtime, cut quality, noise, and how sore our backs felt the next day. After all … Read more
The best robot lawn mowers keep grass short through frequent, quiet passes while you spend less time behind a walk-behind machine. The right one is not simply the model with the longest feature list: it has to match your lawn’s size, slopes, tree cover, borders, and places where a small machine could get stuck. For … Read more
The best electric lawn mowers for most medium lawns are 21-inch cordless models with a brushless motor, a 5.0Ah-or-larger battery, and either a capable push design or self-propelled drive for slopes.

Finding the best pellet grills is less about picking the loudest brand and more about matching the cooker to the food you actually make. A compact unit that carries well is a sensible choice for tailgates, while a 900-plus-square-inch backyard cooker makes far more sense for several racks of ribs or a crowd. A pellet … Read more
The best charcoal grills give you two things at once: direct, high-heat cooking for a dark crust and controlled indirect heat for slower barbecue. They also ask more of the cook than a push-button appliance, so the right choice comes down to airflow control, working space, ash handling, and how many people you normally feed. … Read more
