  • Works well without spending hundreds of dollars
Style: MO55 Pattern Name: Moisture Meter
This is the perfect tool to use in your house to check and make sure there aren’t any leaking pipes or rainwater getting in to your house. Heavy rains can drive water into the walls and sometimes sinks and toilets a leak and you’re not aware of it. Just lay this thing against the wall against the floor around your cabinets and you’ll know if it’s wet Underneath ... show more

  • Pins are bad and display is not backlit.
Style: MO55 Pattern Name: Moisture Meter
The pinless function works fine however the pins continually lose contact. I have to constantly retighten the pins but they are not reliable. I can now only use it as a pinless meter. Also, because the display is not backlit, it is very difficult to read. I use this meter in Crawlspaces and attics quite frequently. Not happy with it’s performance. ... show more

  • Man was I disappointed in this moisture meter.
Style: MO55 Pattern Name: Moisture Meter
This is one of those "you get what you pay for" products. I used it 3 times and the 3rd time it only reads 0% no matter in what mode it is set for. Changed battery stiil reads 0% even on a wet piece of drywall. I called customer support and low and behold they too said the unit was defective after doing all the tests for them over the phone and they told me it was still under warranty. Then If i take off work, drive to the UPS store, wait in line, pay to have packaged, shipped back to somewhere in the north east, wait a week to 10 days, they will look at it and confirm it really is not working, they would maybe ship a new one. If you add up your loss of work time, gas, wait in line time, phone time discussing what the unit was not doing (working) pay for boxing and shipping you are way ahead to through it in the trash and explain to other potential buyers what unit not to get. Good luck if you try to SAVE MONEY and buy this. This is one of the great lessons of life where you learn not to buy twice. David C Imhoff ... show more

  • The Extech MO55: A Moisture Detective’s Best Friend – D & D Approved! 🔍💧✅
Style: MO55 Pattern Name: Moisture Meter
If Sherlock Holmes were a home inspector, he’d carry the Extech MO55 in his pocket like a magnifying glass for moisture mysteries! This little gadget is like a truth serum for damp drywall, stubborn subfloors, and sneaky wooden beams that think they can hide moisture from us. Think again, fellas! As a backup for D & D Home Inspection Services, the MO55 has been a rockstar—quick, reliable, and precise! Whether we’re using the pin mode for those deep investigations or the pinless mode for a less invasive check, it delivers the facts fast. The audible alert is an absolute bonus—it basically shouts, 'Hey! Something’s fishy here!' (or should I say… damp?). Lightweight, easy to use, and built to handle the rough-and-tumble world of home inspections, this meter has already proven its worth. If moisture had a lawyer, it would hate this device. Highly recommend for pros and homeowners alike—D & D gives it a solid ✅! ... show more

  • Reliable and just works well
Style: MO55 Pattern Name: Moisture Meter
I don’t like the on/off button as it easily gets bumped and will turn on when you don’t want to. The depth on the pinless mode seems really good. I like that I can set it down on a flat surface and then back up and take a picture without having to hold onto it like I do with protimeter. Unit has been durable and reliable. It would be nice if they added an accessory jack. Overall good value. I’ve bought several now. ... show more
