This tool is great for determining room dimensions, square footage, and cubic footage. It should not be used in place of a tape measure by any means, as it is only for measuring rooms to estimate for materials, such as base, crown, flooring, paint, etc. It is impressively accurate to within an inch, and not exact only because it rounds to the nearest inch, which isn't significantwhen measuring a room.

For measuring lengths of items, where to cut, where to hang a picture, etc, use a conventional tape measure, but for measuring a room, use this product. Excellent!

I use my Zircon all the time when showing homes to my clients who want to know the dimension of any room. Very easy to use. So much better than carrying measuring tape. Definitely worth owning.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. Not only did it arrive quickly, it is also light, compact and very easy to use. You can carry it in your purse. I am a real estate agent and I bring it with me on all my showings and listing appointments. It makes measuring rooms so quick and easy, it's hard to imagine why anyone would go back to using a tape measure.

Good for basic measuring with big solid walls or structures. Not good for narrow beams or such.

I bought this to replace another laser measuring device that I use for measuring the interiors of commercial space. I like this one better than the former device because it has multiple beams (instead of a single beam) so it seems to have better accuracy and is less sensitive around windows (glare affected the other device). The only thing I that I have to get used to is that it seems to turn off in a relatively short period of time so I go to read a distance and realize the power is off. This helps prolong the battery life and the info is saved so it's not that big of a deal.

Just to note, these are "laser" sighted, but measure with sound, and is the reason for the bell shape on one side.

Does a pretty good job and is most useful to measure the height of open rooms that would require a ladder otherwise.

Since it does use sound reflection to measure distance, you must make sure nothing gets in the way to make the readings wrong. Now and then if there is a tricky spot to measure, I'll use this on the longest clear shot and finish up the rest of the distance with a tape measure. But no big deal in order to get around a problem area.

I am a Realtor, and in the past I would fumble with a measuring tape when sizing out rooms. With this device I get an acurrate measurement in seconds. It has become a very handy tool of my trade

This works great - an amazing time saver and your home sellers are fascinated by it too!

I purchased this product after reading some reviews which rated it higer than other similar ultrasonic measuring tools. In general, the reviews for ultrasonic measuring tools were negative but the Zircon was rated OK in several reviews. I have tested this unit for accuracy and repeatablility of meaurements from a few feet to 20 ft. or more (all indoors)and find it UTTERLY USELESS. Except for the case where you are measuring a distance to a flat, unobstructed, LARGE wall surface across a room with no obstructions OF ANY SORT (i.e. no furniture, light fixtures, curtains, pass-throughs, etc.) there is no repeatability. In repeated tests over the same distance, I found that displayed distances varied not by inches but by feet. It would be impossible to trust the measurements displayed by this unit. My advice would be to pay the extra money for a true lazer measurer. I have one on loan and it is astoundingly accurate, even in a cluttered indoor environment.

Works great. You'll still need to keep your old fashioned tape measure around for precision measuring, but for measuring large areas this should be a no brainer purchase.

I will mostly use the default linear setting, but it's nice to have the area and volume settings available for those rare occasions that it's needed.

As others have mentioned, the 9V battery that this product takes is not included.
