This Quiet Ryobi Backpack Leaf Blower Offers Gas-Like Power Without the Noise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryobi’s 40V backpack leaf blower is a good option for someone needing more power and runtime than you’d get with a typical handheld blower, but as a novice to this layout, I learned of its limitations. If you’re on the Ryobi 40-volt platform or looking for a low-maintenance backpack blower that can cover some serious ground, give this a look. I’ll admit that most of my experience using a leaf blower has been limited to the handheld variety. Week to week, I use one to clear grass from my driveway
I Started Using This Mini Chainsaw Before My Hedge Trimmer—It Saved Me Lots of Time and Effort (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Earlier this summer, I set out to trim the trio of substantial evergreen bushes that line one side of my property.

I was curious what tool brands these racers use, and so I
The Ecovacs Deebot X12 Omnicyclone Robot Vacuum Is Expensive. But It’s Packed With Clever Mopping Features That Excel On Hard Floors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of the floor in my home is hardwood or hardwood-adjacent, with only my living room having wall-to-wall carpeting. As such, I never gave much thought to using a robot vacuum to take care of everyday cleaning tasks because it only takes 10 minutes to vacuum my carpet. And if I’m being honest, I don’t have a set vacuuming schedule—I just do it when I need to.
