Customer Reviews for Sonin 50210 14% to 20% Pin LED Wood, Concrete, Plaster, Carpet and More Moisture Meter
Adequate & Good Value
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.

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
Works, Good Value
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.
Moistur Meter
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
Somewhat poor design hinders handy product
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.
