Exceeds my expectations, works very well.
By Will on Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2025
This item is awesome, it just takes all the pressure away when I have to work on hanging something in the house. It shows all the things behind the wall that I need to see so I can drill into a stud and hang things. I always dread it when I had to hang a picture or put up a light. I would even put it off for a while but now I’m looking at what I can buy next to hang on the wall because this thing makes it so easy and exceeds my expectations. I’m really so appreciative of how well this works and how easy it makes my home projects.

Completely worthless - DO NOT BUY
By John K Overstreet on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2023
I really wanted this to work but sadly it does not. The sales hype for this product made it sound like it would detect items (studs, wires, pipes, etc.) in the wall and then display an image on the screen depicting what item(s) were detected. It also touted the ease of use and the accuracy and laid out lots of 'sales' talking-points that made it sound better than sliced bread. All of these boastful sales talking points are completely false and unfounded. The main problems for me is that for the unit to work it has to be (REQUIRED) connected to the Wi-Fi. What if the house you are working in does not have Wi-Fi or even electricity hooked up? What if the person you are doing the job for doesn't want your device connected to their wi-fi? Beside that the unit has to be calibrated almost every time it is removed from contact with the wall. Calibrating takes a minute or two and wastes a lot of time. It will only work with single-layer new-ish drywall so if the wall you are trying to detect studs in is older or if the walls are a little thicker then you are just out of luck. Conclusion: This Walabot unit is a neat idea IF they ever get one to work like the hype says but in it's current state of development it should not be considered for serious use by either professionals (like by people who do construction work) or even weekend DIYers. It doesn't work well enough to be useful just frustrating. Don't buy one of these.
