This unit works great and does what it is supposed to, without false or erratic readings. If you are getting poor readings, try a fresh, full power battery. Performance can become erratic with all these devices if the battery is not up to spec.
This stud-finder came highly recommended from a friend that's a contractor, and I've had nothing but good experiences with it. If it says there's a stud in the wall, I can be sure it's there. I've never had a problem with glitches or any of the other quirks the other reviewers point out. It's easy to use, accurate, and makes home improvement just that much easier.
The i500 claims to be able to find wiring, plumbing and of course studs. After 2 housrs of trying I gave up trying to find studs through 5/8" drywall. Avoid this product.
The ability to deep scan and detect electrical lines is also very useful. This is a must-buy for those who like to hang things on their walls. The ability to mark both the middle and the edge of the stud is priceless. This is an amazing improvement over my old, simple Zircon stud finder of a few years ago. I highly recommend it.
Turns out our last leg stud scanner is still out better the this Zircon one. I brought one at Target clearance for $12. It meant to replace our wood stud scanner, which is in his last leg. This Multiscanner only displays "restart in another location" and nothing else. Too late to return, what a waste.
