Walabot DIY Plus - Advanced Wall Scanner and Stud Finder for Android Smartphones (Not Compatible with iOS and tablets) - Model DY2PBCGL01 Review

Works as advertised. Pros: Very accurate Light weight Excellent customer support Cons: Feels cheap for something in this price range I think it should come with a protective case. Desired Overall I was happy with the performance. It's really light, which is good, but at the same time it feels cheap in the hand. The sticky pad that comes with the kit is not very durable, but it can be washed, reused, and replaced. I really think for the price it should include some sort of storage/carrying case.

I calibrated 4 times before even drilling the hole. Each time he said the hairpin was in the same place. I drew the outlines of the holes I was going to drill and it turned out there were no studs. I thought I was confused. I calibrated again, he still said there was a hairpin. I used every mode they had and it always said it was there. Then I tried to find another pin and the device showed multiple pins next to each other. I drilled another hole and all it was was drywall. Now I have 2 holes…

I was happy to try it but I'm afraid this tool will be returning to Revain. I bought this version from Walabot because it was said to work on a lathe and plaster walls. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. When examining lathe and plaster walls, the sensor only operates in "expert mode", which displays an almost illegible heatmap-like image, rather than color-coded visual outlines of objects within the wall. This might work well for an expert, but it's utterly useless for a beginner like…

Looks cool in the demo video but if you really want to use it. such a pain! Every time you want to use it. You have to connect it to the phone, stick it back to the phone with this gel puck that doesn't want to stick to Walabot but sticks to the phone like crazy. As a result, the device rotates and slides in relation to the phone as you try to scan, requiring you to realign and squeeze the pair. THEN you need to calibrate it EVERY time you set it up for use, including pressing buttons and…

As the functionality seems pretty good, better than the previous version, I'll get back to you tomorrow after a lot of installation work and report how it went compared to the standard top finder. The first thing that struck me about this product is its poor ergonomics, scanning is uncomfortable, your hand covers the phone to scan or you have to hold the phone very low making it difficult to hold. It's even worse in pan mode because you have to hold down the button to start scanning (odd…

All I can say is WOW. This thing is amazing! I'm not a pro, just a DIYer like a lot of other people, so my rating is based on that. Just follow the instructions and watch the videos the app points to. Don't be the person who reads manuals. The app will hold your hand throughout the process unless you select the "Don't show this" option when prompted. When the app launches, it tells you what shelves and walls you have, then suggests which options to use. The device is attached to the phone with…
