Multiscanner A200 Electronic Wall Scanner/Metal Detector/Live AC Wire Detection With SpotLite Pointer

I've bought a few stud finders under a $100 including renowned brands but none actually came even remotely close to this thing. It does the job and it does it well, 100% recommended!

Good purchase, i like how the indication bars shows indication [one bar] as you approach a cable then increases to full bars when dead close.

Mediocre at best, can't really trust it so never use it.

I wanted to hang shelves in my study which was converted from a bathroom after the bathroom moved. I know the 15mm copper (hot and cold) location as they were rerooted to the kitchen. Couple feet away is electrical wiring to a double plug socket. My original Zircon Multiscanner A200 which is 3 years old couldnt detect them behind a cm or two plaster so I bought this same model one and again couldnt detect the copper pipes or wiring. Bought new batteries same result. I bought a Bosch detector Truvo 2nd which is half the price and it was able to detect the copper pipe and wiring. Dont waste your money. Even deepscan was useless.

From researching online, this seems to be one of the best stud finders on the market - many of them don't work particularly well, but this one does. Have successfully used it for finding metal studs. The electricity detection feature also seems to work well.

Good morning The meter is far too sensitive, it was allwase saying that there was electrical cable or live currant, it took me ages to drill some holes, for the price that they are charging it should be more accurate

Poor. Whilst it can detect metal it’s unreliable as a stud wall detector. Seems to have a mind of its own. For the price I expected something that would do the job. Arrived without any box, maybe a returned unit?

Waste of money. Unreliable!
