America's Best Home and Garden Brands 2023

By Ed Barredo

Americans spend a lot on sprucing up their homes, lawns and backyards. Last year, people in the U.S. spent a total of $558.3 billion on home improvement overall and we spent $47.5 billion on home appliances, like refrigerators and dishwashers. This year we are expected to spend about $577.3 billion on all kinds of things for our homes and gardens.

To make shopping for all those items easier and more enjoyable, Newsweek and global data firm Statista are proud to present our ranking of the Best Home and Garden Brands for 2023.

This year the top 401 brands were awarded across 84 unique home and garden categories, ranging from blenders to robotic lawn mowers to security cameras to trampolines. Brands were chosen based on more than 2 million relevant online customer reviews and ratings written between January 2020 and January 2023.

For each product category, nine different product aspects were considered, ranging from quality for money to convenience, safety and setup. Those aspects were weighted by category depending on their importance (e.g., safety was a more important aspect for power saws than it was for coffee makers). The written reviews were also analyzed with a sentiment analysis that identified keywords and phrases indicating specific attitudes, emotions and opinions about the product, and then categorized as positive, neutral or negative.

For most categories we've listed the top five brands, for some products where there are fewer top brands (robotic lawn mowers, for instance) we've listed the top three.

As you shop for your own home or garden, we hope you find our rankings useful.

Methodology:

America's Best Home and Garden Brands for 2023 have been chosen based on over 2 million relevant online reviews and ratings that were written between January 2020 and January 2023. The top 401 brands are awarded across 84 unique home and garden categories.
The ranking was created using both ratings and written online reviews about a variety of home and garden products. The written reviews were analyzed using a sentiment analysis approach that identified and extracted relevant information from the written reviews and examined the expressed opinions and feelings about the products. This type of analysis dives deeper into reviews than ratings alone by identifying keywords and phrases that indicate specific attitudes, emotions, and opinions towards a product.
Then, a text analysis categorized the reviews as positive, neutral or negative. For each category, nine product-specific aspects were selected and analyzed to create an overall score for each distinct brand.
The weight of each aspect in the overall score differed between categories depending on the importance of the aspect (e.g., safety was given more weight in the power saw category than in coffee makers).

THE NINE PRODUCT SPECIFIC ASPECTS ARE:
1 - Performance
2 - Convenience
3 - Experience
4 - Value for Money
5 - Quality
6 - Design
7 - Service
8 - Safety
9 – Set-Up

1. Data Collection: Collection of over 5 million online reviews and star ratings. Data collection was done from Dec. 2022 to Jan. 2023, and the reviews were written between Jan. 2020 and Jan. 2023.

2. Review Analysis: Analysis of written reviews based on the nine different product aspects. The importance of each aspect is individualized for each category and based on aspect frequency in all reviews within a category.

3. Scoring: Scoring each brand within each category. The overall score combined the final rating of the product, the weighted sentiment average, and the satisfaction significance in the review dataset.

The top 401 brands in 84 categories were awarded a final ranking of America's Best Home and Garden Brands for 2023.

Data collection and analyses were done with ReQiew: a tool that interprets online reviews and turns them into valuable insights (learn more here).
