The Strait Story [Posted on 2007-05-13]
Extremely disappointed with this thing.It does not measure accurately as verified by an old fashioned tape measure.It is very misleading since this does not use a laser to measure but uses sound.It may work for bats but this is for the birds.Every time I don't review a product on Amazon before I buy I get burned.When will I ever learn.

I purchase this tool for my child who's a Real Estate Agent. She uses it to measure living space for her clients and posts the square footage in advertisment of the properties she sells. She says it's the perfect assistant. It's accurate in measuring, light weight, compact and portable.
Useless, totally useless [Posted on 2007-11-13]
Useless, totally useless. For $20, you are better off buying a tape measure. This devise is so inaccurate it is not funny. I hope you are lucky like me and can return it for your money back.
Great for quick estimation with some egregious limitations [Posted on 2008-07-08]
This can be a useful tool, but one needs to learn about the limitations this type of device has.
I used the word egregious in the title because there seemed to be a lot of people who bought this tool without first understanding what this tool can and cannot do.
This tool uses sonic emission to estimate the distance between the target object and the emission source(this tool). The nature of such estimation yield accurate results only under ideal situations. It needs to be held level, so that the sonic emission can bounce and return in a straight path. That also means it works best against a flat area and against objects of hard material that won't absorb the sonic emission.
This tool certainly has limited usefulness because its limitations, but it's still good for certain uses such as getting a ball park figure of an area of a room for instance. This tool is currently priced a bit high in my opinion and thus only 3 stars. Add another star if you can find this for $10-15.

Its very accurate and simple to use, great for those times when you need an accurate measurement but you dont have someone to hold the end of the tape for you.
