Review: A good moisture detector with accurate readings and audible sound - I bought this as I've had repairs done around my chimney and needed a way of checking that the leak had been resolved. This arrived promptly and neatky pakcaged. The detector is typical of these types of devices with two strong prongs at the top that measure the mositure contnet. The device has two settings, one for wood and one for building substrates (brick, stone, etc). There is a simple guide on the back that explains what the readings mean. Additionally, a simple user guide is also included which gives a fairly good explanation on how to use the detector (along with what not to do!). I took several readings over the surface of the wall and intend to go back in a few days in the hope that the readings will be lower (thereby demonstarting that the leak has been fixed). The detector requires a 9v batterry which is not included in the package. Overall this is a decent moisture detector and has done the job that I needed it for. PROS - Quite compact and easy to grip - Two good strong prongs for detection - Audible sound when moisture increases - Has settings for wood and brick - large display - Has a "hold" function so that you can lock the display to get a reading CONS - LCD display means you can't read the figures at certain angles - Doesn't come with battery included Overall I would recommend this moisture detector. *** Please could you click yes if my review has helped you in any way ***
Review: Mighty and Accurate, MUST for property hunters as well as DIY persons, professionals - We needed this in the restoration work of a period property. This machine is a must for all people thinking about proper wood floor restoration. The machine's maker is located in Tubingen where large area of forrest exists, so they know how to make this type of machine. Good point is this uses 9V battery, unlike some other makers' that use tiny and costly battery,. Light, secure grip, and on the back of machine, easy to understand moisture level identifier is printed as label so its easy for DIY persons to check the level as well. Bright colour also helps to remember to bring this back from work place. Overall, great item for both wood and brick works. If you were going to view property for renting or buying, especially buying, you better carry this one with you. Especially if you were looking for period property, checking the walls and floors, under the sinks, bathroom, etc with this machine will tell you hidden pitfall of buying problematic property which later needs restoration and renovation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the Brennenstuhl 1298680 MD *really* as big as the quoted size: 26.5 x 14 x 4 cm?  If not, could someone provide the correct product dinemsions?**
A: No it is not. The total size of the packaging is LxWxD (mm) 270x145x40, the size of the meter itself is LxWxD (mm) 150x65x25. I hope this helps.

**Q: Can this be used for bread dough? I’ll accept some ridicule.**
A: No ridicule. I'm full of admiration for your interesting take on this. You know when you make a Christmas cake in September and then dose it regularly with a beverage of your choosing, administered by injection? I think I could see an application there around gauging dosage. How tipsy is this cake? How many mls of whatever shall we give it this week? Is it uniformly puddled or are we missing some bits? And how about whether we've watered the Monsterosa house plant or the spider plant too much or too little, although I gather spider plants are virtually impossible to kill - I've never managed it and I'm a serial killer of houseplants. I think you've given us all lovely food (bread) for thought.

**Q: The Manual I received with it is in German. Do you have an English Version? Either paper or electronic would do.**
A: An English version of the manual can be found on the Brennenstuhl.com website.  Search for the moisture meter, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on downloads. The English version can be found on Page 6 of the instruction download

**Q: Are batteries included?**
A: no, batteries are not included, it takes one 9volt dc alkaline block battery
