## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great meter and best part it leaves no marks and makes no mistakes.
*by P***K on June 29, 2015*

Great meter, as a certified home inspector I can not say enough of how helpful this meter is. My company we use these in conjunction with Flir Infrared Cameras. The biggest advantage is no marks are left as with a pin meter. The second huge feature is the rapid seconds to calibrate it ot hte ambient humidity. Yes you read that right this meter has a calibration button on the side. After a thermal scan of an area, one jsut holds the meter in the center of the room away from anything and presses the calibrate button the unit beeps and then is ready in less then 5 seconds and the inspector is confident that no false positives will be made due to high humidity in the surrounding areas. For example just a few days ago I was in a un-vented basement and the humidity was reading at around 60% I then saw some anomalies on one of the window wells. After calibrating the meter I got moister reading of over 80% in the corners and then also found signs of water infiltration as well. The buyer was super happy and this finding as well as others helped them lower the price with the bank. So we use the thermal camera shows an area with a high probability of moisture then we use this meter to provide the customer with a thermal image and the reading on the meter to verify our findings. The best thing everyone loves employees and customers is it leaves no marks. Look when you are inspecting a $500,000+ home you do not want to leave any sign you were there. We pride ourselves on being the most professional home/business inspection company we can and we do this with the best technology and great service. And most importantly we are super clean in our inspections. This meter is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this one, not the General Tools one.
*by G***N on December 25, 2013*

For some reason, Amazon will not let you follow up an initial review with another as time goes on. I purchased two MMD950 units, I liked the sensitivity of the units, but the function keys were "funky" and both ended up not working after a few months. By not working I mean in relative mode I cannot calibrate to 0, and in wood mode I cannot get it to move above 0.I have now purchased the Extech unit and it works simply and as advertised. Can sense your hand from 6" out.

### ⭐ It doesn't work for concrete wall, a misleading product description.
*by B***N on November 13, 2018*

I purchased this basically for testing concrete wall moisture level, and on the package it says the product can be used for this purpose. However, it does not work. I contacted Extech/(Now Flir) for advice, a feedback from their technical staff confirmed that this equipment cannot be used for my purpose. What a misleading description. I tried to ask for refund from Flir 2 weeks ago, but they haven't replied. Such a disappointment.
