Family HandymanReviews of familyhandyman.com

I've been reading Family Handyman for 20+ years. Something changed in the last year or two. I rarely find any content or projects that interests me. When I do find an interesting subject, the information is vague and mostly fluff. The content providers in the past were experts in their field and provided more insightful detailed information. I really miss the old Family Handyman and I won't be renewing my subscription.

I used to love FH magazine. However, in the last year or so I have seen a complete change obviously geared toward female readers. I have no interest in articles about decorating, dust bunnies, displaying my fav art or reorganizing my pantry, etc. Please just change the name to Family Handywoman. I tossed my subscription renewal form in the trash.

I’ve subscribed for years and cancelled at the end of 2024. The magazine has become very feminine. The projects have turned from building additions, to “selecting the right paint color for fall”. All grit is gone and I’m pretty certain every issue comes with a participation ribbon.

Was a subscriber for couple decades. Magazine has drastically changed in 2024, completely irrelevant content, in addition of much smaller size. If i wanted to get "Better Home & Garden" I would subscribe for it...

My husband has been getting this magazine decades. We retired about five years ago and built a new home near our grandkids. We didn’t get it for a couple years then our grands were selling magazines for school. What happened to it? It’s not even good projects. I see a woman is now editor and that’s fine. But the magazine has shrunk in size and pages. Nothing is modern it looks like projects from the 90’s. Even the printing looks old. Will not renew unless I see some changes.

This magazine has evolved into a Woke Home & Garden magazine. None of the great DIY editors are there anymore. The articles are like how to decorate a room & what flowers to plant. Most of the editors are now women but not the DIY type, the pretty house type. i've seen this transformation over the last year and it keeps getting worse so i am canceling my subscription which i have had for 20 years. Apparently the magazine was sold to some Woke owners!

Your fresh new look is a joke. I have subscribed to this magazine for 15 years and overnight it turned into a home decorators magazine. The June addition featured a step by step build of an enchanted arbor highlighted by a gay couples wedding centerpiece, how to pollinate a garden, how to make your own bird house and how to buy a garden hose. No thanks. I will be canceling my subscription immediately.

In one fell swoop the magazine changed from a true men's magazine on how to repair the house and vehicle to a woman's magazine on how to build a playhouse and what flowers to put on the kitchen table ie page 30 July/August. I had a subscription for three years ahead. Please reimburse me for those years. And cancel my subscription.
