Review The Troy-Bilt Squall 208XP review is a lightweight, powerful snow blower best used for clearing moderate snowfalls.

Review The Ariens Deluxe 28 921046 is a powerful snow blower with wide clearance and the ability to shift all kinds of snow.

Review The Cub Cadet 2X-26" 243cc is a two-stage gas snow blower with plenty of great features and high performance ratings.

Review The Sunforce 81256 is one of the best solar lights we looked at. The Sunforce 82156 is mountable on your garage, shed or fence. It has the brightest LEDs among the solar lights we looked at, shedding a total of 850 lumens.

The LiftMaster 8500W is a jackshaft-driven garage door opener that runs smoothly and quietly. This garage door opener has all of the best features and a few extras, such as built-in Wi-Fi, battery backup and a physical garage door lock.

The 3/4-HP Sommer Direct Drive is powered by a motor that, unlike those on most garage openers, moves along the rail with only one moving part. This type of lift system is called a direct drive, which uses a stationary chain that’s quieter and faster than most other types of garage openers.

The Craftsman CM1800 is an excellent pressure washer in terms of cleaning performance, and it is very easy to use. In many ways, it's a better machine than our top pick, the RYOBI RY14122, particularly regarding assembly and power cord management.

During our evaluation, SMARTBOX had lower prices than more well known services like U-Pack. Its one container size is on the smaller side, though, so for larger moves you need to reserve multiple containers.

The Gama Sonic Barn Outdoor Wall Sconce is solar outdoor lighting with a body cast of rust-proof aluminum and a stylish matte-brown finish to match many exterior decors. Because it mounts on a wall, it takes up no space and can provide needed lighting for dark areas around a home, garage or barn.

Clearing snow in the morning is tough, and waking your family with a deafening snow blower makes it worse. The Craftsman Quiet is a two-stage snow blower that packs serious power without the noise.
