Looking for studs to mount a TV in newly constructed condo with thin drywall. This scanner missed more studs than it found, it performed no better than my old $20 scanner. My six year old son has a blast with it now, it's in HIS toolbox where it belongs.
 Very Good Stud finder with some nice features July 11, 2009

After tossing my 10-year old Zircon stud finder in the trash for misleading me, I looked online to see what was the current best stud finder. To my surprise, the Zircons were mentioned as some of the best - right alongside the Stanley Fatmax 500, which can theoretically find a stud through marble tile or two sheets of drywall, but I couldn't find this model.
I took the i700 home and put it to work; the sensitivity was great as was the way in which both edges of the stud are found so you can find center. A nice little value for this model is it's ability to also mark the center point using the little, built-in pencil it has - just pull the switch down and 'mark', you have it. I also appreciated the backlit display as well as the laser guidance when the center of the stud is found.
The other nice feature of this model is it's ability to detect metal (in case you want to try and find the drywall screws instead of studs) and hot/live wires in the wall (so you don't get electrocuted pushing a screw into some electrical wires).
Good product, but price here is ridiculous! July 7, 2009

Does this product do what the manufacturer claims?
The answer is yes and no. It does when the conditions are right and you are using it surfaces that it "likes", but if you use it on surface that reflect in ways it doesn't like then it doesn't find studs. I used it on dry wall that was painted over and it worked in some spots and not others. This piece of machine is fussy in the surface you use it on so you might want to try and cover your surface with a thin piece of wood, calibrate and rescan. When it does work, it is better than mot others.
Is it a reasonable, competitive price?
Not at all. You can get it at your local HD for $50. I understand amazon charges 20% commission for those selling on this site, but it doesn't mean the 3rd party sellers should pass the mark-up on to the buyer plus shipping and then try for profits on top of it all. So buyer beware and know that you can buy it cheaper at a brick and mortar shop close by.
It is worth $50, but you will probably want to have other stud finding tools (with different detection methods) in your toolbox for the surfaces this product doesn't like. Definitely not worth $75!

While no stud sensor I have ever used has been 100% accurate, this one does as good of a job as any. No significant complaints.
