COVID-19 made our homes not only our accustomed refuges from the world—the places where we live, sleep, eat and relax with family and friends, but also our workplaces and classrooms. We are spending more time in our homes and we are spending more money on our homes. In 2020, for instance, average annual spending per U.S. household on lawn and garden supplies jumped to a record $155 from $120 in 2019. Last year, total U.S. home improvement sales, including building supplies, appliances and decor as well as the services of contractors and other tradespeople, reached $538 billion and is expected to hit $620 billion by 2025.
To help consumers make smart decisions when spending on their homes, Newsweek and Statista are proud to announce our first annual ranking of America's Best Home and Garden Brands. The products behind those brands are items ranging from refrigerators and washing machines to power saws, inflatable pools and trampolines.
The top 299 brands were ranked in 93 categories, 67 home categories and 26 garden categories. Some brands were awarded in more than one category, so 179 unique brands were awarded. For most categories, we've listed the top three brands. In some categories of very common items (microwave ovens, smart TVs, coffee makers and others) we've listed the top five. Many of the brand names here, like BLACK+DECKER, Whirlpool, Samsung and others will be very familiar to American shoppers. Hamilton Beach was awarded in 12 different categories, the most of any brand.
Whatever you might be looking for to make your home safer, more comfortable, more attractive or more fun, we hope you'll find our rankings useful. Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief
