Kereinpo Digital Wood Moisture Meter: Simple, Handy and Reliable So Far

This is a small, lightweight digital moisture meter with multiple modes that is convenient to have on hand for multiple uses like checking for moisture in walls, moisture in firewood, etc. The moisture meter is easy to use following the included Instructions. I would consider its design to be pretty basic. The front of the moisture meter has 5 buttons on it which include a button to power it on/off, a button to switch the temperature to read in either Celcius or Farenheit, a button for the Mode that is used to set it to either read moisture in wood or building materials, and there are 2 buttons with arrows on it that are used to select the type of wood when the device is in the Mode for reading moisture in wood. To note, the manual included with the device has a list of different types of wood and what option should be selected on the device which I find very helpful. I find the buttons to be a good size, easy to push and easy to see in the light however the buttons do not have a backlight which I wish they did as they can be a little hard to see when I am using it in my dark backyard to check firewood at night. The front of the moisture meter also has a digital screen that lights up green and displays the % moisture value of building material, moisture value of wood, temperature, moisture value, battery life, what mode you are in and the wood type selected if applicable. I find the screen to be a good size, clear and easy to read. The manual included with the device is also very helpful to familiarize yourself with all the information capture on the screen to ensure you are reading it correctly. There are also 3 small lights above the screen that light up different colors to indicate the moisture level (green being low, yellow being medium, and red being high). At the top of the device there is a cap that is easy to remove and stays securely in place when on. When the cap is removed, there are two pins that are used to stick into the surface of whatever it is you are measuring the moisture of. I have used this moisture meter on dry wall as well as firewood and found the pins were easy to insert into these material and did not have any issues with them bending. Also I was very impressed that I was able to puncture the pins into my drywall and they did not leave any damages. So far I find the moisture reader works as expected and have not any issues with it. To note, it runs on 2 AAA batteries however it does not come them so you will need to have your own batteries on hand to power the device. I really wish the device was rechargeable for convenience and to save on batteries however this is just a want and not a big deal. In regard to the battery life, so far it seems to have a good battery life. I put 2 fresh batteries in it prior to first use and have used it multiple times for a just a few minutes and the battery life on the screen still shows as full. Overall this is a small, battery operated, moisture meter with multiple modes, an easy to read digital screen, it is very easy to use and so far works well my needs.
