About PowerSmart
PowerSmart is the outdoor power equipment brand of Amerisun Inc., founded in 2005 and headquartered in Itasca, Illinois. The lineup spans gas, corded, and cordless lawn mowers, portable and inverter generators from 1,200W to 3,800W, gas and cordless snow blowers, and pressure washers, all built around getting homeowners real outdoor power equipment without the premium-brand price tag. PowerSmart says its equipment now reaches more than 2 million customers across the United States.
In our own testing across three separate DIYRated categories, that value positioning holds up. The EasyGlide gas mower assembles and reaches first cut faster than any other gas mower we've tested in its price band, the 26-inch two-stage snow blower runs on a proven Briggs & Stratton engine with heated hand grips and dual electric/recoil start, and the 2500W inverter generator puts out pure sine wave power safe for laptops and other sensitive electronics at roughly a third of what a comparable Honda costs. Each is a top pick in its own DIYRated roundup, backed by nearly 1,300 combined owner ratings across the three.

Why we recognized PowerSmart
The DIYRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. PowerSmart earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, put to work on real jobs, and judged on merit.
PowerSmart products we rated highly
PowerSmart EasyGlide 21" Gas Lawn Mower (144cc OHV)
One of our top picks for a budget gas mower. The 144cc OHV engine with auto-choke and primer bulb starts reliably on the first or second pull in most conditions, and in our testing no gas mower in this price band assembled and reached first cut faster. The steel deck holds up better long-term than the crack-prone poly decks we've seen fail on comparable mowers, and unlimited gas runtime means a full acre is no problem as long as the tank stays full.

PowerSmart 26-Inch Two-Stage Gas Snow Blower
A top pick for full-size two-stage clearing at a value price. The Briggs & Stratton 208cc engine handles heavy wet snow without hesitation, heated hand grips keep hands warm through extended clearing sessions, and both electric start and a recoil backup mean you're never stranded with a dead battery. One-hand 180-degree chute rotation lets you redirect snow without breaking stride.

PowerSmart 2500W Inverter Generator
A standout value pick in our inverter generator testing. It puts out pure sine wave power safe for laptops, phones, and other sensitive electronics at roughly 70 percent less than comparable Honda inverter models, weighs under 40 pounds for one-person transport, and its ECO mode automatically drops engine speed to match the load for better fuel economy and less noise on light draws like a refrigerator or a string of lights.
