![]() ![]() The 36V 3.9 amp hours (Ah) battery charges in a little more than 2 hours. This string trimmer measures just over 66 inches long, weighs less than 10 pounds with the battery installed, and works for about 25 minutes per charge. It comes from a brand with a long history of industry-leading outdoor power equipment. It makes sense that the Stihl FSA 60 R would be a top performer in this test group. These reviews describe the key features of each cordless string trimmer and how the models performed in our backyard tests. Along with cutting power, we tested for battery runtime, maneuverability, and operator comfort and determined the best battery trimmer by category. In addition to trimming the grass zones, we used the 36V, 56V, and 80V models to cut through woody, viny growth in natural areas. To earn a spot in our lineup, the lightweight 20-volt (V) trimmers had to deliver a clean, crisp cut in both clean and weedy grass sections. We put each trimmer through its paces in a variety of real-world scenarios: “clean” lawn grass, weedy grass, and natural areas featuring coarse, weedy seedlings and vines. Although some of the trimmers offer lower power settings that could extend runtime, we found that the lower settings simply made them less capable when it came to coarse weeds, so we ran them at full power for testing. Most trimmers arrived with the batteries about 25 percent charged right out of the box, but a full charge allowed us to gauge runtime at full power. To truly test these battery-powered string trimmers, we started by assembling the tools and charging the batteries.

The following battery-powered string trimmers are at the top of their class. The string line should exit the reel easily with no need for the user to constantly remove the reel cover and untangle the line. To qualify as a top pick, a string trimmer should be durable, powerful, and easy to operate. So we could help consumers make the right choice, we tested some of the most popular string trimmers to find out how they perform under real-world conditions. Some battery trimmers are better suited to different-size yards, users, and budgets. Though gas and electric models once dominated, new and improved battery-powered versions don’t require mixing fuel or storing gasoline like gas string trimmers do, nor are they limited by the length of an extension cord, like corded electric string trimmers are. These yard-care tools spin a cutting head loaded with nylon string (instead of a fixed blade) to cleanly trim the grass at the edge of a lawn or mow down weedy areas. We put battery-powered trimmers through their paces on several grass or weed types to see how well they ran and cut, ultimately arriving at this list of the best battery trimmers.įor ensuring a polished look to a lawn, the best string trimmer is a great investment. Handy outdoor power tools make quick work of tackling overgrown weeds and grass, giving the yard a tidy look and trimming hedges and shrubs. ![]()

![]() This calculator functions more like a mini-computer, and with the Internet interface, my daughter will be able to use this for any engineering, math or science class in college. Our vendor was efficient and quick to send us the product.Įven th ough I really didn't want to purchase yet another calculator, I am extremely pleased with my purchase. On the TI-89 Titanium, x4 7x2 + 1 will look like x4. On most other calculators, x4 7x2 +1 would look like x4 7x2+1. ![]() Pretty print is the option to display symbolic mathematics in the format that you would normally use when writing mathematics. I also found out that it has AP Calculus test questions pre-loaded on it, which will be useful at the end of this school year. One of the nicest things about the TI-89 calculator is the fact that it uses Pretty Print. It has many other features that you download easily from the Internet to do other types of functions, such as finances, statistics, and an organizer (to name a few). It works beautifully and will (I hope) be useful for my daughter through her college years. The calculator is a very cool piece of technology. I was not exactly pleased that I would have to purchase yet another calculator since we already purchased the TI-83 and TI-84 for previous math courses. My daughter is taking Calculus next year in high school and (of course) the teacher required the students to have the TI-89 calculator. And don't replace this with knowledge, you still need to know the basics in your head in order to succeed in the class! Read full review My overall opinion: If you are planning on taking a Calculus course try to pick up one of these used and become familiar with it because it will seem very foreign at first. Pros: Derivatives, Solving Equations, Low Battery Meter.Ĭons: Price (if purchased new), Graphs can be a little hard to view. Here are some pros and cons that I feel go with this calculator. I have never used the Titanium version but see no downfall to using the original version. This is a great handy tool to check over your work to make sure you have not made any careless errors. This TI-89 does all the busy work for me! I now have more time to work on the actual problem that other stuff such as finding the derivatives and solving equations. It was fine in the beginning but I felt I was wasting a lot of time doing "busy" work. I started my calc class with a TI-83 Plus that I used for all my other math classes. The TI-89 lets you perform the expected functions of an advanced calculatorbasic math, algebra, calculus, graphs, matrices, and statistical functions. Also, the price is not exorbitant, or even much more than the other TI graphing calculators. I would recommend this calculator to anyone that is adept with graphing calculators or needs the extra functionality of the 89. Another thing to note would be that most of the buttons on the TI-89 Titanium are placed differently than on the TI-84 or 83. A second complaint would be about the input, which is sometimes cumbersome, but still effective (the input is no different than that of a TI-84 or 83). My biggest complaint would be that it is NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY. I am certainly not a beginner with TI calculators, but sometimes this calculator can still confuses me. The main difference between this one and the TI-nspire is that the nspire has a colored display and a nice input keyboard, however, it lacks the computin g power and 3-d graphing features of the TI-89 Titanium. The screen is black/white but can still produce images with nice contrast. ![]() This last function is extremely valuable in multi-variable calculus. It does almost everything I could want it to it solves equations, differentiates, integrates (both definite and indefinite integrals), and graphs in three dimensions-slowly but that's to be expected, it's only a calculator. I've used a TI-84 and TI-83 in the past, and the possible functions of those calculators pale in comparison to the TI-89 Titanium. Its functionality and computing power are astounding. I bought this calculator for my advanced level Calculus and Physics courses. Thank you archive dot org, this gives me flexibility and prevents NOMOphobia with my ‘89, which I otherwise always carry with me at work or at school.Astounding functionality and computing power! But not beginner-friendly. Here’s a tutorial to get everything out of it: Ĭheck out the Planet Money episode on graphing calculators, and why after 20 years the TI-89 is still the top of the line graphing calculator, for the same price: Only wish was that it was backlit, or that this MAME was for the Titanium edition (it has electrical engineering formulas as well as supports implicit differentiation) If you are in STEM, pick up a TI-89 used. I remember playing Tetris and even Doom on this in high school. ![]() When professors want you to spend $150+ on a textbook, just ask yourself, “Will it have as much utility as a TI-89? For twenty+ years?” Probably not. The best $100 I have ever spent, amortized it’s a penny a day. I am currently studying math undergrad with it. I bought this calculator in 2001 for AP Calc AB (and SAT) and have used it daily now for twenty years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Prime Video is still given top priority, although the home screen can be rearranged pretty easily.

Once you’re online and signed in, you’ll find the Fire TV Stick 4K Max features a zippy interface. We found the setup straightforward, with an easy on-screen walkthrough.

Picture quality will ultimately depend on your TV, but the Streaming Stick 4K still trumps its predecessor’s Dolby Vision support, alongside HLG and HDR10/10+, plus DTS Digital Surround. As with other Roku devices, just about all the major video streaming apps are covered – from Prime Video to BritBox to BT Sport – plus a number of lesser-known names. You won’t struggle for entertainment either. Roku promises a longer range and faster connectivity – and we didn’t have any buffering issues. And Wi-Fi is one of the key improvements, courtesy of upgraded hardware. We found setup to be a cinch: just stick it in, connect to the Wi-Fi and you’re away. You can also use the tidy Roku app for easier typing. It’s not exactly premium, but it’s well-built and gets the job done. We scored it top marks for usability: the voice control remote is straightforward, with handy shortcuts for mainstream platforms, plus the option to request shows via the built-in mic. But it is slicker and more powerful than any Roku before it, at a very accessible price tag.

Dedicated buttons for YouTube and Netflix make it easy to dive right in, while the Google Assistant shortcut puts voice control just a press away. We found navigation is easier than ever, thanks to the remote that now comes bundled in. And with more than 6500 apps supported, you’ll rarely come up short for content. The interface is pretty slick, even if there’s sometimes a delay after pressing the home button. We like how the shows are displayed with a helpful Rotten Tomatoes score, as well as platform and rental info. The latest version, however, also allows you to select shows straight from Google TV’s home screen.īringing together content from your favourite platforms on a single page, you’ll see personalised recommendations from different subscription services – although we found it can take some time for the recommendations to actually match your tastes.
