Review: Had to return it. - I use a moisture meter every day, so functionality, consistency, and durability are important. The probes and their connection points seemed cheap and were loose after a few uses. The worst part was that in scan mode, it read 7-12% before I touched it to a surface. This of course made it seem like everything I was testing was wet. There was no way to recalibrate it, so I returned it. Maybe the one I got was defective and I should have given them another try. It looks and feels like a quality tool, but did not work for me.
Review: Great Moisture Meter - Great moisture meter for the cost. Does not have species settings, but does work as scan or pinless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Moisture Meter
*by B***E on June 11, 2015*

Great moisture meter for the cost. Does not have species settings, but does work as scan or pinless.

### ⭐ Inaccurate readings
*by K***O on February 27, 2023*

Firstly, let me state that I am a professional Mold Remediation and I have been for the past 6 years. This profession has allowed me to use a number of different moisture meters and brands throughout the years. This meter has been the worst I've ever used as it's the most expensive one I have purchased and the most inaccurate device I have used. I'm uncertain if its just this device or if the brand is terrible. It simply gives says all material are moist. The seller is also in responsive and I was only able to get 76 dollars back from amazon after spending $380. Do not buy this device, your better off with the cheaper brands that work and that has better customer support.
