Products With the Best Battery Life

Run time: 53 hours

If you’d like a bigger screen and better battery life but don’t necessarily want to pay for all the premium features, Apple’s iPhone 15 Plus might be a good fit. The Plus models have the same hardware and camera specs as Apple’s base models but with a larger display and battery. In fact, the iPhone 15 Plus has a particularly impressive battery life, lasting 53 hours in our testing, versus 47 for the newer iPhone 16 Plus. The 6.7-inch display gives you plenty of room for reading email, playing video games, and, of course, watching streaming video. Count on the device to last, too: It survived CR’s rigorous durability testing, which includes 100 drops in a tumbler and submersion in our water tank.

LG’s Gram line of notebooks has consistently scored among the top laptops in our labs since it debuted nearly a decade ago. This particular model, the LG Gram 2-in-1, offers very fast performance and an impressive 25-plus-hour battery life for web browsing. Given that it’s called the “Gram,” you’d be correct in assuming it’s quite lightweight as well: The 2.7-pound weight means that it won’t be hard to carry around with you on trips, and the touchscreen capability gives you even more flexibility during travel.

Run time: 55 minutes

The cordless Samsung Bespoke Jet AI VS28C9762UK/AA has the longest run time of any of the cordless stick vacuums we’ve tested. It also earns an excellent rating in our tests for cleaning bare floors and pet hair. It quietly zips along edges, leaving them debris-free, and easily scoots under furniture. As a brand, Samsung earns very good ratings in both predicted reliability and owner satisfaction, based on data from CR’s member survey.

Run time: 23 minutes

This Black+Decker handheld vacuum is one of the top-rated handheld vacuums in our tests, and it has the longest run time by far—23 minutes. It receives an excellent rating for bare-floor cleaning, leaving little noticeable debris behind. It also comes with a crevice tool that makes cleaning edges and tight spaces a breeze. It takes around five hours to charge this vacuum fully.

You get a lot for the money with the Greenworks MO80L421 battery self-propelled mower. Foremost is a relatively long battery run time of nearly 75 minutes when you swap in the included extra battery—enough to cut at least one-third of an acre. Its performance is exemplary for mulching, cut evenness, handling, and noise. Side discharging is strong, though we judged its bagging to be just so-so. This mower has a four-year battery warranty, among the longest in its ratings category, and a 4-year warranty for the machine itself. Greenworks battery self-propelled mowers earn impressive ratings for reliability and owner satisfaction in our member surveys.

The Cat DG651 handheld blower moves leaves and other debris especially quickly, with top scores in sweeping and loosening. Like most handhelds, it maxes out in 12 to 15 minutes before needing to be recharged, so it makes sense if you have a few small trees or if you’re diligent about blowing leaves as they fall. The model is also easy to handle and control. We found that it’s relatively quiet for a leaf blower, requiring no hearing protection while operating. It has a five-year warranty.

This Hercules HCB91K1 drill has the power for the most demanding applications and will make quick work of projects, boasting exceptional speed. It can last through very long projects on a single charge and will charge very quickly. This drill weighs 4.3 pounds, making it heavier than average. The grip is comfortably sized.
