Great design. Works very well. A must have if you have a wood fire.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***D on 26 September 2021*

Well made. Seems to be accurate, as repeated tests show same results, and are within a tight range of a professional wood moisture tester. Useful to know the readings at different places in a crawl space. High reading can point to a hidden source of moisture, such as behind insulation or below a sometimes dripping duct. Can provide early detection of mold or fungus creating conditions, so the condition can be mitigated.
