VEVOR Turns Labor Day Project Data Into Its First Power Picks List

Published

on

The inaugural Labor Day Edition organizes practical tools and equipment around four long-weekend project scenarios, informed by a VEVOR survey of 529 U.S. adults with annual household incomes of $75,000 or more.

HOUSTON, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — VEVOR, a global home improvement brand, today unveiled the Power Picks: Labor Day Edition, the first installment of a new project-based product selection designed to help consumers find practical tools and equipment for the projects they actually want to get done.

The list is built around four long-weekend scenes—Yard, Garage, Deck and Tailgate—informed by VEVOR’s survey findings and the seasonal context of the Labor Day weekend. New survey data show that among 265 respondents who identified specific project areas, 48% selected lawn, yard or garden work, while 35% selected outdoor cooking or entertaining areas.

These real-world project needs give VEVOR a starting point for curating a focused selection of tools and equipment to help Home Creators get the job done.

How the Picks Were Chosen

Power Picks starts with the project, not the product. For the Labor Day Edition, VEVOR first looked at the types of projects consumers are planning to tackle, then narrowed its product selection based on practical performance, ease of use, value and real-world customer feedback.

Each featured pick has a specific reason for making the list—from a standout price or strong performance to a simpler way of getting a common job done. The result is a deliberately limited selection designed to help Home Creators spend less time comparing products and more time getting started.

Yard, before fall

With 48% of Labor Day project planners planning to work on their lawn, yard or garden, outdoor projects are the clearest starting point for the holiday weekend. For homeowners looking to clean up the property before fall arrives, the right equipment can turn a time-consuming seasonal chore into a more manageable project. The Power Picks for yard focus on speed and reach before the season turns.

VEVOR Backpack Leaf Blower ($169.90) —  High-Velocity Pick

Why it made the list: A High-Velocity Pick for tackling seasonal yard cleanup with less time and effort. Its 63cc two-cycle engine delivers air speeds of up to 220 MPH, giving homeowners the power to clear leaves and debris efficiently as they prepare their yards for fall.

What customers say: “This is a must buy can’t beat the price.”  —— Jerry

What else you’ll reach for: VEVOR Battery-Powered Backpack Sprayer ($82.90).

Tailgate & Season Opener

For many Labor Day project planners, end-of-summer gatherings or football season are part of the weekend equation—turning the holiday into as much a social occasion as a project deadline. The Power Picks for this scene center the cookout. 

VEVOR Portable Car Refrigerator ($309.90) — Versatility Pick

Why it made the list: A Versatility Pick for keeping food and drinks cold wherever the long weekend takes you—from the driveway to the tailgate. Its 50L dual-zone compressor design can hold up to 60 soda cans and operate from -4°F to 68°F, giving outdoor hosts and road-trippers a more flexible alternative to traditional coolers.

What customers say: “Game changer for road trips and camping!”  —— Kristian Anderson

VEVOR Gas Griddle ($129.90) — Control Pick

Why it made the list: A Control Pick for taking the cooking outside when Labor Day gatherings move to the patio or tailgate. Its 22-inch cooking surface can handle up to 16 burgers at once, offering an easy way to cook for a crowd without a complicated outdoor setup.

What customers say: “You can cook anything on it and clean up is fast and easy. Stores great and the price was very reasonable.”  —— Lydia B. Spiers

What else you’ll reach for: VEVOR Inverter Generator ($778.90), VEVOR Screen House Tent ($122.90), and VEVOR 8-Pack Landscape Path Lights ($90.90).

Garage reset

Garages, workshops and storage spaces were selected by 35% of surveyed project planners, making them another major Labor Day project area. The Power Picks for the garage cover three practical needs: organizing, repairing and installing.

VEVOR Storage Shelves ($110.90) — Value Pick

Why it made the list: A Value Pick for turning unused garage or workshop space into practical storage without a major investment. With five adjustable tiers and a total weight capacity of up to 3,000 pounds, it offers substantial storage capacity at an accessible price.

What customers say: “Great product, great price, I can’t say enough about VEVOR!”  —— Steven

VEVOR Electric Car Jack ($117.90) — Heavy-Lift Pick

Why it made the list: A Heavy-Lift Pick for making routine vehicle maintenance more approachable—and turning a tire change into a manageable one-person job. The 5-ton electric hydraulic jack combines lifting, impact wrench and tire inflation functions in one setup, helping DIYers handle roadside or garage maintenance with fewer tools.

What customers say: “This jack is great. It is incredibly easy to use.” —— Keith MacWilliams

What else you’ll reach for: VEVOR Mechanics Tool Set and Socket Set ($143.90), VEVOR 3/8″ Drive Impact Socket Set ($49.90), and VEVOR Mechanics Stool ($59.90).

Deck day

As outdoor entertaining winds down for the season, decks and patios need refreshing. The Power Picks for this scene pair cleaning and refinishing—the two jobs that extend a deck’s life into next year.

VEVOR Gas Pressure Washer ($359.90) — Deep-Clean Pick

Why it made the list: A Deep-Clean Pick for tackling the heavier outdoor cleaning jobs that can stand between a worn surface and a refreshed space. With up to 3,600 PSI and a full-copper pump, it delivers the power needed to clean decks, fences, driveways and other outdoor surfaces.

What customers say: “This is by far, the best pressure washer I have ever owned.”  —— G

VEVOR Stand Airless Paint Sprayer ($191.90) — Time-Saver Pick

Why it made the list: A Time-Saver Pick for making larger painting projects more efficient, with 650W power and up to 3,000 PSI for interior and exterior applications. Its stand-mounted design helps DIYers cover larger wood and metal surfaces more efficiently than traditional brush-and-roller methods.

What customers say: “Paint sprayers have come a long way and VEVOR’s price point was amazing.”  —— Tammy Shaney

What else you’ll reach for:  VEVOR Retractable Garden Hose Reel ($137.90).

From the backyard to the garage, the collection is built around one idea: match the tool to the project, and make the long weekend count.

“Power Picks is about starting with the work people want to get done and selecting only the products that truly earn a place on the list,” said Gavin Wu, Brand Director at VEVOR. “For each edition, we’ll look at real project needs and choose a focused set of tools and equipment with a clear reason behind every pick. Labor Day Edition marks the first Power Picks edition, with more project-focused selections to come at key moments throughout the year.”

This Labor Day, turn the project you’ve been putting off into the one you finally get done. Power Picks: Labor Day Edition matches the right tool to the right project—nothing more, nothing less. Explore the full edition at VEVOR and discover the project-based picks for the work ahead.

About the Survey

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, is inviting visitors at IFA 2026 to experience how AI can make everyday home routines simpler and more intuitive. Under the theme “Innovating a Brighter Life,” the Hisense AI Companion Suite, powered by ConnectLife, brings connected intelligence to the kitchen, laundry and living spaces.

Step into the kitchen and a simple question— “What should I make?”—can set the experience in motion. The AI Companion Refrigerator recognizes stored ingredients and suggests meal ideas based on personal preferences. Once a recipe is selected, it can sync with the AI Companion Oven to support automatic cooking, while the AI Companion Wine Cabinet recommends pairings and maintains suitable storage conditions. After the meal, the AI Companion Dishwasher recognizes dish conditions and adjusts cleaning, demonstrating how AI can support the journey from planning dinner to cleaning up.

In the laundry area, visitors can see how the AI Companion Laundry Suite turns a routine load into a simpler, more automated experience. By recognizing clothing characteristics, it selects suitable wash and dry cycles and adjusts the process automatically, creating a load-and-go experience.

The experience continues in the living space. The AI Companion Air Conditioner senses indoor conditions and user presence, adapting airflow as people move through the room. Meanwhile, the AI Companion Energy System considers weather and time-of-use electricity pricing to help optimize household energy use.

Building on ConnectLife’s support, Hisense is collaborating with Alexa+ to be among the first home appliance brands bringing smart home devices to Amazon’s Alexa+ AI assistant using Amazon’s new Smart Home AI Toolkit. Available in the coming months, Alexa+ customers will be able to control select Hisense air conditioners by simply saying what they need. Alexa+ will then map the request, navigate the settings, and complete the action for them.

Hisense’s approach to innovation has also earned recognition at IFA, with several of its products receiving awards. The Multi Function II Series, an all-in-one energy-saving HVAC solution, received a Winner Award, while the X-zone Master was named an Honoree.

By

BERLIN, Sept. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, a global leader in home robotics engineered to simplify daily life, reported revenue of RMB 10.084 billion in the first half of 2026, up 27.6% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 45.6% to RMB 986 million. The company also reached a new global milestone, with Roborock recognized as the world’s No.1 robotic vacuum cleaner brand by both IDC and Euromonitor International.

Global Expansion Continues to Strengthen Growth

Roborock’s international business continued to deliver strong growth in H1 2026 across both mature and high-potential markets. During Amazon Prime Day 2026, Roborock ranked No.1 in the robotic vacuum category in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United States and Canada. In Europe, Roborock reached a 45% share of the robotic vacuum market, with unit sales up 24% year on year, while wet-dry vacuum unit sales grew 112%. In North America, Roborock reached a 33% share of the robotic vacuum market, with unit sales increasing 30% year on year.

Momentum was also strong across key Asia-Pacific markets. Roborock ranked No.1 in both unit shipments and sales value in Australia, Korea, Taiwan region and Türkiye from Q1 2023 to Q1 2026. In Korea, the brand maintained more than 70% share of the premium robotic vacuum segment, while the S10 MaxV Ultra generated approximately KRW 28 billion in sales within ten days of its February 2026 launch. In Japan, Roborock continued to deepen its premium retail presence through cooperation with Yamada Denki, including dedicated brand displays and nationwide availability of flagship products. Across Asia-Pacific, the company continued to combine its global technology platform with localized channel, marketing and service strategies.

Roborock’s global leadership has also been independently recognized by IDC and Euromonitor International. According to IDC, Roborock ranked No.1 globally by both unit shipments and sales value among robotic vacuum brands in H1 2026, while Euromonitor International ranked the brand No.1 globally by retail sales value in 2025. Together, the two rankings reinforce Roborock’s global market leadership and reflect sustained consumer demand worldwide.

Sustained R&D Investment Supports Long-Term Competitiveness

Roborock continued to invest heavily in technology in the first half of 2026, with R&D spending reaching RMB 720 million, up 5.11% year on year and accounting for 7.14% of revenue. The company continues to build capabilities in intelligent navigation, AI-powered environmental perception, cleaning systems and robotic mobility, while increasingly bringing these technologies together at the system level rather than improving individual specifications in isolation. This integrated approach allows technologies proven in flagship products to be brought into a wider range of models and price segments, helping Roborock strengthen its portfolio while making advanced features available to more consumers.

IFA 2026 Highlights the Next Phase of Innovation

At IFA 2026, Roborock is showcasing its latest advances across indoor and outdoor cleaning. Its new robot vacuums and wet-dry vacuums bring advances in steam-powered care, adaptive cleaning and whole-home versatility, while the Roborock Saros Rover introduces a two-wheel-leg architecture designed to expand robotic mobility beyond flat floors. Roborock is also broadening its intelligent cleaning ecosystem with the debut of the RockAqua P1, its first intelligent pool cleaner, alongside the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR robotic mower, extending its autonomous cleaning capabilities across floors, pools and gardens.
