Review on BOSCH Blaze GLM50C: Bluetooth Enabled Laser Distance Measure with Color Backlit Display - Measure up to 165ft by Phil Prater

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very accurate but some improvements could be made

I bought this because I'm doing some renovation plans/work and the tape measure can get in the way. This product is great for that and I was happy that it is usually accurate to about 1/16th of an inch. I've tried most of the other features to know how to use them and haven't had any major problems. However, the user interface is not that good. The round menu with tiny icons is just slow and stupid in my opinion. on one of my tablets. I'm not sure what their limitations are, but my tablets don't seem to have a problem finding/installing other popular apps from the Google Play Store. it has rubber around it that doesn't slide smoothly into a stretchy shell. You have to fight it, stretch it, use both hands, etc. An example of nobody actually using the product before sending it out the door.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative impression
