A beefier variant of our most powerful cordless leaf blower pick
We were blown away by this battery-powered blower, which offers a winning combination of power, portability, and ease of use. It’s also bundled with an extra battery—and in our experts’ opinion, the more batteries, the better!

Other things to know: The higher 765 CFM rating is only felt in turbo mode. The additional BA1400T 2.5Ah battery typically sells for more than $100 by itself, but only offers about half the runtime of a 5.0Ah battery (though it does offer the same amount of power).

Torras Coolify 2S Neck Air Conditioner
Our upgrade neck fan pick
Perfect for gardening. A sleek design with large easy-to-find buttons, a fancy carrying case, and Bluetooth connectivity make this the bougiest neck fan we’ve tested. Its built-in thermal chips heat as well as cool—and the heating element was surprisingly pleasant.
