An excellent bargin. This tool is great for the average home inspector or contractor. It does not give you the actual % of moisture but will tell you wether a stain is wet or dry. This is ideal for crawl spaces and attics where you have one hand on a flashlight and the meter in the other. Plus the leds make it easy to read in those dark place inspectors go.

Two design flaws hinder this product: The test button is too easily depressed. I kept this in my work bag and the battery was drained within two-months. Second, the test light may still work with low battery power, leading you to believe the sensor is broken when the red lights don't work. I almost threw it away, since it was only $15.00 + shipping. Dri-Eaz WetCheck was more durable, but a little more expensive.

appears to work as advertised. Using it to determine if I can put down a hardwood floor, and it does show both dry and damp areas

The Sonin 50210 works as advertised. It's a good value for occasional users. Yes, it could have a more user friendly design but that's trumped by good value.

Bought this not expecting that much but I've used it several times most recently in the attic to locate leaks and it worked wonderfully as others have mentioned the design and placement of the on/off switch could be better but it really preforms well and I really don't notice it anymore. And opposed to what another reviewer stated I found that it will give you an indication for all three levels of wetness. I was thinking about possibly getting a more expense one that will give you a percentage but after using this one I now can't justify the price. Thinking about maybe getting another one of these as a backup though for the price it's really unbeatable!

This moisture detector is a great value. Most detectors are much more expensive and larger. Can not speak to longevity of unit as I have had it only for a short time. Purchased it to check out some suspected spots on drywall & it was sensitive enough to confirm or rule out current problems.

Product has indicators for various (3) degrees of "wetness", but expect to use only two Dry or Wet. Even the slightest amount of moisture will return a Wet result. Other than that the product is fine. Sonin 50210 14% to 20% Pin LED Wood, Concrete, Plaster, Carpet and More Moisture Meter
