Moisture Meter, DURFICST 3-inch Color HD Large Screen Moisture Meter with Cloth Bag, 20-40mm Depth Analysis Moisture Meter,for All Building Materials, Wood, Wall, Plaster, Masonry.

Very easy to use, accurate and seems durable. I have been using for about 1 month. Good price, good product.

works fine

This is easy to use. Wish there was a manual calibration setting. I tested several pieces of wood and it was saying wet and about 60% moisture. I tested it against my pin meter and this read higher in every case. I tested fresh cut oak and it read about 65% which is what I expected. I tested it against some kiln dried oak which tested around 10% when purchased but this read around 45%. The instructions are not very good. Need to find a good calibration source and see what it reads. Not sure it is a high quality instrument for the price.

While it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles that you might find on some other moisture meters, it does do the job. I live and work in a building that was built in the 70s and experiences age-related problems, among those are leaky pipes in the walls. So far, it’s helped me locate a leak behind the sheet rock wall before it got worse, and I’ve also experimented by holding a wet towel up behind some different materials the meter has proven to be accurate so far, as long as you keep in mind the thickness of the material.I like the fact that it doesn’t use pins so there’s no danger of marring some finished surfaces. And means that you could potentially use it on a lot of surfaces that a pinned meter wouldn’t work on.While it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, it is easy to hold and use, just remember to calibrate first. It is a little bit bulkier than some models that use pins, but that’s not really a dealbreaker. It comes with a nice cloth drawstring carrying case, includes three AAA batteries, and an instruction manual so you can get up and running immediately.It feels good and solid in your hand, the construction seems sturdy and durable and feels solid in your hand, and the display is easy to read, and the buttons are all well-marked and responsive when you push them. The way it’s set up you can quickly determine the moisture content in the wall, if there is any, by reading the meter or hearing the alarm.It is a little pricey, but I believe that it’s worth it because you can use it on some materials that you could not use a pinned meter on.

This moisture meter is very handy, precise and of good quality. I use it a few times a year to check the outside walls of my house for leaks or moisture. This type of meter assumes that you are familiar with the device and the measurement. It has a scale of 0-100 and 3 areas ( dry-risk-wet) that give a quick overview of the moisture content. Remember, if the display reads 30, that doesn't mean the moisture content is 30% (Precent)! It's just an indicator on a scale of 0 to 100. Overall I'm very happy with this device and it makes me feel good to have another look at the moisture levels on my walls. Highly recommended.

Just rebuilt my fence and was needing to put some Ready Seal on it. It was recommended that I make sure the moisture of the wood was below 12%. This came up and so I figured I would give it a try. It works awesome. after about a month and a half, I tested the wood to find that some areas were around 12-13.5 and then the treated wood was around 17-18%. I can see this being a great tool to have for checking all types of things and is super easy to calibrate and use. Came with batteries and a nice suede-feeling bag. 5/5

My relative who does handyman type jobs was able to find a leak that drips water in my sub porch. He calked the area, and I hosed it down, and it seems to stay dry. I could have used this last year when my internal plumbing backed up and started leaking in my basement walls. At least I can find the bad areas that are still wet to combat the mold issues. Recommended.

The pinless design is great (if it worked well) and the interface straightforward, but this one was a return for me because despite saying it’s suitable specifically for masonry and tile (including the main picture of it in use being against a bathroom tile wall as of September 2024), the results it produced were dramatically inconsistent. I tried it 3 separate times, each time I held it as pictured and performed the calibration away from walls and other objects while keeping my hand in the same position throughout the entire test. I found that if I gently placed it against a tile wall, recorded a value (say 45, where it alarms), then pull it back and wait a moment to place it in the exact same place at the same angle and approach it would record a 20 with no warning beeps. The same behavior occurred across porcelain tile, thin natural marble tile and thicker natural marble slabs. You get a reading anywhere between 20 and 50 in the same spots or inches apart in the same session, which makes this effectively useless because a spread that large makes it untrustworthy and unusable for even relative comparisons.I will say that drywall and wood seemed much less inconsistent, so if that’s your usecase this will likely work fine. If you want tile or anything bathroom related, forget about it. It looks like a cheap alternative and a good value compared to pro grade models that are 500+ but if you can’t get a consistent reading on the same material twice in a row, it’s not a value - it just doesn’t work.
