## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ absolute rubbish
*by H***E on 24 October 2024*

Complete waste of money giving the same readings indoors as outdoors ,constantly reading 01.9..is this 1.9 or 0.19 ? no instructions very very poor for the money...avoid

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very helpful and informative.
*by A***  on 18 February 2019*

Very easy to use and arrived in immaculate condition. My only concern was the calibration of it hadn’t been kept up to date. The calibration date expired in May 2018. I wasn’t aware that this had to be done on an annual basis before.
