The best vertical climbers for cardio are the ones that make a hard workout possible in a small room without the floor space, motor hum, and joint punishment of a treadmill. I spent six weeks putting twelve of them through the same routine: warm-up climb, steady 20-minute effort, then back-to-back intervals, all while watching for … Read more
A stair climber is an exercise machine that mimics walking up steps, and that is the only meaning we use in this guide. If you landed here looking for a stair-climbing wheelchair, a hand truck for a boiler or a stair-climbing trolley for an older relative, this is the wrong page. What follows is about … Read more
If you want one sentence you can quote, here it is: the Zupapa 14 ft is the best trampoline for backyards we tested in , and the Skywalker Jump N Dunk 15 ft is the best one for families who care most about a basketball hoop. That is the answer to the question people ask … Read more

A cart that stalls halfway up the fairway or gathers speed on the way back down is worse than carrying your own bag. On a hilly course the electric motor is the whole point: it absorbs the grade, carries the bag uphill, and holds a controlled speed downhill so you reach the shot less exhausted. … Read more
