Amazon.com: A measuring genius! Here's a laser-measuring device that can calculate length, width, area and even volume at the touch of a button. You can even measure long distances in increments of 50 feet--all you have to do is use the "Double Segment" program and you can stop and start a measurement. It's foolproof and simple to use: Just point at a target, press a button and voila, instant measurement, whether it's length, area or volume. List this one under "coolest feature" – the laser targeting system shows a ring of laser dots on your target area. Sure, we're all professionals here, but that's just plain cool.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Rating: - It does work and is accurate
Just to note, these are "laser" sighted, but measure with sound, and is the reason for the bell shape on one side.
Does a pretty good job and is most useful to measure the height of open rooms that would require a ladder otherwise.
Since it does use sound reflection to measure distance, you must make sure nothing gets in the way to make the readings wrong. Now and then if there is a tricky spot to measure, I'll use this on the longest clear shot and finish up the rest of the distance with a tape measure. But no big deal in order to get around a problem area.

Rating: - Zircon Ultra Sonic Measuring with Laser Target
I am a Realtor, and in the past I would fumble with a measuring tape when sizing out rooms. With this device I get an acurrate measurement in seconds. It has become a very handy tool of my trade
Rating: - Works as described
Works great. You'll still need to keep your old fashioned tape measure around for precision measuring, but for measuring large areas this should be a no brainer purchase.
I will mostly use the default linear setting, but it's nice to have the area and volume settings available for those rare occasions that it's needed.
As others have mentioned, the 9V battery that this product takes is not included.
Rating: - Not bad at all !!
Beside the funny looking shape of this unit with the Glenn Miller "clarinet tip" on the side..it is great device. Much better than using a measuring tape but not so great for carrying it in your tool box or purse, it takes the same space, or maybe more as the mesurring tape. Great for personal use for quick measurements of rooms or empty spaces to estimate for materials. I would definately recommend it.
Rating: - Quite a handy little tool !
This is a handy tool, useful for figuring out the true square footage of a house/apartment. Take it along to real estate showings and find out what the real dimensions are, rather than what a broker may be telling you.
