Review: Good Moisturiser Meter - Product works well as intended and good price. No complaints. Easy to use.
Review: Good but not calibrated for masonry - Very pleased with this unit. Seems well built. display is very clear and simple to understand. However, you need to be aware it is not calibrated for masonry. So you can get comparative readings, ie compare a dry area of wall with one you think is damp, but the readings have no absolute meaning in % terms. This does enable you to plot areas of damp penetration very accurately so it served my purpose but the calibrated % moisture content readings are only valid for wood. Good value for the quality of the product, instructions are very clear on how to, for example, plot rising damp.
