When it comes to shopping, the editors at Family Handyman are no strangers to rigorous testing standards. However, you may not know that our readers also play an important role in determining which products are really the best. In fact, reader reviews (along with our own personal experiences) inform all of our “best of” lists. That’s what makes us a trustworthy source for all things home improvement-related!
Last month, Family Handyman readers loved these products. From stone bath mats to a virtually indestructible grill brush, you may be surprised at the best-selling products our readers keep coming back to. The high-quality finds on this list were all top performers in July. Each comes backed by thousands of positive ratings and a sizable purchase history.Â
Shop the Family Handyman reader favorites below and reap the benefits of good-quality, vetted products—without putting in the research, time or testing.
Unsurprisingly, the Bonfire 2.0 was one of Family Handyman’s best-selling products in July. From tailgating to camping, this smoke-free fire pit offers portable fun for every outdoor get-together. This best-selling product comes with a free carrying case, plus an easy-to-empty ash pan.Â
Shop Solo Stove’s incredible selection of editor-reviewed fire pits and accessories and turn gatherings into memorable experiences. At only 20 pounds, it’s pretty easy to pack up for any occasion.
With over 8,000 positive reviews on Amazon, it’s easy to see why we chose this Frigidaire dehumidifier as one of our favorite basement dehumidifiers. Apparently, our readers agree—and like us, they’re struggling in this humidity!Â
Between a washable filter, custom humidity controls and a continuous drain option, this appliance is a must-have for both bathrooms and basements. We also appreciate the massive 50-pint capacity paired with an automatic shutoff option for safety.
Turn any regular mattress into a smart bed with the Eight Sleep Pod 3 cover. Not only does this best-selling product function as a bed cooling system, but it also provides a whole host of useful sleep analytics. A water channel network inside the cover controls the bed’s temperature, so there’s no need to fuss with cooling pajamas or sheets.
Keep informed on your sleep cycle and monitor health items like heart rate and environmental conditions that affect snoozing. With this editor-tested mattress cover, it’s easier than ever to get forty winks.
Say goodbye to stuck-on sauces and burnt-on barbecue. The Grillart grill brush takes “indestructible” to a new level. This easy-to-operate grill brush works on virtually any grill, from porcelain to steel. The durable construction withstands pressure, so it never bends or breaks at the handle.
A scraper on the back offers simple removal of stuck-on food, while the wire brush side sloughs off stains and sticky sauces. Just preheat the grill and scrub to melt away messes like magic!
Our readers love DeWalt’s best-selling products, especially when it comes to toolbox staples like the editor-reviewed titanium drill bit pilot point set. That’s why it’s no surprise that the drill bit set was also one of our readers’ favorite finds last month.
Like DeWalt’s classic cobalt alloy drill bits, the DeWalt titanium nitride-coated drill bit kit comes with an assortment of sizes fit for nearly any project. It’s also Amazon’s #1 best seller in jobber drill bits. Innovations like a web taper and hard coating make these drill bits far more durable than two-piece conventional bits, so DIYers require fewer replacements.
Family Handyman readers took to the editor-reviewed Bug Bite Thing last month. With temperatures reaching record highs and many folks spending time outdoors, it’s no wonder these first-aid essentials have become best-selling products.Â
Available in a convenient three-pack, the Bug Bite Thing uses suction to pull bug venom from bites, reducing itching and swelling. Put away those creams and chemicals and opt for this safe, toxic-free alternative instead.
We’re big fans of Kasa smart products—just look at our review of their smart light switches! The Kasa outdoor smart dimmer plug doesn’t require a smart hub or complicated installation. Instead, it easily connects to WiFi and allows folks to dim their outdoor lights using nothing more than a smartphone.
The plug connects with Alexa or Google, so it’s possible to use hands-free voice controls right from your seat. A 300-foot range offers ample coverage, so there’s never an issue with lost signal.
With the Craftsman battery-powered sprayer wand, insects are a thing of the past. Simply connect the sprayer cap to your favorite 38-millimeter bottle of insecticide. Then, turn on the battery-powered sprayer and say goodbye to ants and wasps.
Because it’s powered with four AA batteries, there’s no need to pump before spraying. Choose from multiple spray patterns—including “stream” and “cone.” It’s capable of up to 20 feet of spray, ensuring ample coverage for most backyards.
Home security is no joke, especially as the holidays approach. One of the safest locks you can find online is the Yale Assure lock, one of our readers’ favorite products from July. The Yale lock uses WiFi to connect to a smartphone, enabling homeowners to unlock their doors as they approach their homes.
For those who prefer a numerical lock, the touchscreen pad offers an alternative way to enter for visitors or employees. We love that it frees up hands, and there’s no need to rifle through your purse or pocket for lost keys.
Our review of the Sutera stone bath mat totally blew up last month, and it’s easy to see why. After all, how does a stone bath mat even work? As it turns out, these are even better than traditional towels and rugs. Instead of sitting in a soaking wet puddle, stone bath mats easily soak up water without leaving a drenched terry cloth rug behind.
Because it comes from ultra-dry Diatomaceous Earth, this stone bath mat dries almost as soon as it gets wet. Snag one of these best-selling products today to prevent slips and enjoy a bone-dry bathroom floor.
