For this video, Reuben tests eight different models to determine the best one for home inspectors. Here are the top choices:

TPI 720b: amzn.to/3NgZtv7
This was the top overall choice because of performance, boot-up time, batteries, and price.

TIF8800X: amzn.to/4pLkXO9
Top performer, slightly better than the TPI 720b. But the proprietary nickel-metal hydride battery back is a big drawback, and it costs way more than the 720b.

Generic Amazon Purchase for $30: amzn.to/45YPErV
Quick boot-up time, adequate all-around performance. If you're on a serious budget, you're a DIY homeowner, or a home inspector looking for a backup device, this is a great option.
