I work with both Bosch and Hilti and they are equal in measurements, not as durable as Bosch but it also has a big price difference, and it does the same job.
Unfortunately, after 6 months of use on a construction site, the screen broke and is no longer readable. I contacted the store where I purchased it, but they were unwilling to help me. The meter works fine and takes accurate measurements, I guess I was just unlucky!
It does a good job overall! I got it to check the sewage level of the septic tank at my cottage. On the wet surface, it struggles to reflect, but with some effort, we achieve it.
Value for money. For amateur use within the household, it is just what you need. Now, if you are a professional, there is a deviation, so you want something better.
Good for amateur work as others say, but the laser loses a bit of its straightness. If you stick it on the wall or at a distance of 2 meters, there is a 2-centimeter deviation. Maybe I got a defective one, I just rubbed the rubber on the base a little and calibrated it myself.
It solved my hands!
Very user-friendly with great measuring accuracy (I checked it many times with a tape measure at both long and very short distances).
The memory function is very user-friendly as well.
It comes with a carrying case for protection when transporting it with your other tools.
Attention! Please note that when the battery voltage drops, before any low battery indication, mine started showing some crazy readings and constantly freezing. I was ready to return it as a defective product until I changed the batteries and it worked fine again.
Update: Outdoors at distances over 7-8m, it often gives errors, maybe because it can't 'see' the laser correctly. I deduct 1 star...
Very good tool with accurate measurements and ease of use. During the day in an outdoor environment, the dot is not easily visible, but I believe this is a disadvantage of all laser rangefinders.
As another owner has mentioned, the bubble level loses height if you measure close to the instrument and far away from it. In my case, at a distance of 2m, it lost 0.5cm in height. The measurement was taken on a level-plastered surface to eliminate any doubt about leveling. In the distance measurements that were made, the deviation is around +2mm.
As a first impression, the machine is quite good. I found it to be very accurate, but it also has the option for calibration. It has several useful functions that you find in more expensive ones. Indoors, the laser dot is clearly visible. Outdoors, in bright light, it can be seen up to about 4 meters.
A major drawback is its hard buttons, which cannot be held steady during each measurement. I cannot yet know about its battery life.
In conclusion, if someone needs a laser measure for indoor use, I think it is an excellent choice for its price.
I have used it a little, but it seems to work fine. I like the addition/subtraction function.
As for the negatives, I will say that the keys are quite hard and sometimes I'm not sure if they were pressed. Also, the instructions were not in English or Greek. For its price, I consider it very good.
UPDATE
After using it extensively, I can say that its measurements are quite accurate! The above still holds true.
For the 25 euros I paid, it does its job just fine. I haven't needed the other functions. It is made of hard plastic, which means it will break if dropped. So far, I haven't had any accidents. The battery life hasn't been tested yet. I have had it for a month and it has held up well.
Update 10/10/2023
The batteries last, with frequent use, for about 6 months. It doesn't give you a warning, it just doesn't turn on. In the end, the plastic cover is quite good and it has withstood many falls. Very satisfied with the product.
The machine is a lottery. From my experience, I believe that they have very poor quality control during its construction. If what you receive is defective, you're out of luck. If not, the machine is great for its price. And let me explain:
The first one I received measured distances correctly, but the laser was not parallel to the body of the tool, resulting in the need to lift it slightly when touching a wall in order to measure up to the opposite side, as it either scraped the wall or went towards the center of the room. No problem, I thought, I have Skroutz Plus, I'll use it and ask for a replacement as defective. I also sent the photo I uploaded here, where I placed it on the level and the laser went up 1.5cm at a distance of 1m. All good, in a short period of time I receive a new Laser measure. What was the point, this one was completely problematic, you set it to measure a distance of 60cm and it showed 153cm. Again, return and replacement.
Well, third time's a charm. I received it and finally it was fine and works perfectly.
So, if you manage to receive one without any issues, you will be pleasantly surprised with its use. Because apart from simple length measurement, it has various convenient features such as adding or subtracting distances, calculating the area or volume of a rectangle, using the Pythagorean theorem and calculating the third side by measuring the other two sides (I don't know how accurate this will be), as well as storing measurements internally so you don't have to write them one by one.
Also, if it has any deviation from the actual measurement, it gives you the ability to calibrate the tool from -9mm to +9mm.
And all three that I received came with English instructions.
If I didn't have the negative experience of the first two problematic orders, I would give it 5 stars, but I think it's a bit of a gamble on what you will get. Judging from the good reviews it has, I was probably just unlucky.
It is excellent with minimal deviation even in difficult areas. It is cheap and you don't need to be as careful with it as with expensive ones on construction sites, where it could fall on you. It has nothing to envy from the expensive ones.
We used it from the first day to the maximum, it is value for money, very good, lightweight but in diagonals or small exclusions or in old buildings that have some deformities it loses a little, I would say about 2-3%
It is quite difficult outdoors during the day, but as a cheap measuring tool for indoor use, it is very reliable. It also measures square footage and volume. I recommend it! I have used it extensively in various renovations.
For simple everyday use, it's fine. Due to its small size and satisfactory price, it makes it a good purchase for measuring clean distances. It seems to have good build quality and I hope it will last.
Really excellent for its price and for the relatively simple use of measurements by an engineer. Its accuracy is quite good. I have been using it for 5 months and there hasn't been any issue. Battery management is also relatively good.
For simple measurement of clean distances, it is absolutely accurate. However, although the other functions are accurate, they are extremely difficult to use manually. That is, if someone tries to measure the height of an object (e.g. a threshold) by measuring the hypotenuse, the adjacent side, and the angle, the height it gives (or generally this distance) shows large variations due to the sensitivity to the decimal angle. In other words, with effort, I achieved a minimum error of +/- 3 cm in measuring an object with a height of 20 cm. It definitely requires a stable point for such functions.
I would also like there to be two vertical levels because there is only one, and this may create significant error for long distances.
Other than that, it is good for 20 euros, although the quality of the materials is quite low.
VFM. I bought it to do some measurements in construction and it saved me. Good build quality. Lightweight and easy to use. Reliable measurements up to 15m that I tested it. In outdoor areas with sunlight, the dot is not easily visible, but in indoor areas, you won't have a problem. It has functions for measuring in square meters, displays the last measurements. The battery lasts for months.
Very good, it does the job for which it is made. At least until now, during the day in outdoor spaces you can't measure, you can't see where the laser is and if it is at a close distance, and if you manage to see it, you will measure correctly. After a lot of effort, it works fine for indoor spaces
