EMF Meter, XRCLIF Digital Electromagnetic Radiation Detector, Hand-held EMF Tester for Home/Outdoor, Ghost Hunting Equipment, Electric Field/Magnetic Field Monitor with LED Light & Sound Alarm

This is a really easy to use emf meter. It measures the V/m and micro Tesla radiation.The readings seem pretty accurate and as expected there was noting in my house to cause any alarm. Although the meter does turn red and look very serious when checking most day to day items. It's a good idea to google the EU recommendations for safe levels l.The screen is clear and readings bold. The meter is also small enough to fit in your pocket.Good quality and value. Recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

Being an engineer and one that used to be a Chief Engineer on offshore construction ships that were diesel electric drive I'm quite aware of EMF and the issues it can cause. On one newbuild the EMF thanks to the weird switchboard type was so bad that the film company that was on board to do the launch video using an industrial drone couldn't get it off the deck thanks to the interference. EMF can cause all sorts of problems for control systems and of course if you are a military vessel or machine not ideal to have very much of as missiles can use it.However, in the home there is also EMF measured in V/m - Volts per meter and uT - micro Teslas at least on this handheld device.This device measures the V/m and micro Tesla radiation given off by your devices so you can scare yourself witless when it goes red. Which is a problem because it will go red and alarm when pretty much any device is checked because it's threshold is 40V/m which is pretty low. To give you a reference the EU max level is 5000V/m and I just checked my computer and it was around 220V/m. It's old so newer ones might be better. The limit for microTeslas is 100 so if you see those numbers creeping up to max then run. You are about to be irradiated... So far in my house I've checked the likely candidates and it's only fairly powerful machines that give off much with the microwave coming in at around 10microTeslas.Now, for the most part there's nothing in your house that's going to come close to anything dangerous despite this handheld freaking out and going all red and scary at 40V/m. With one exception which is the microwave which genuinely could be dangerous if the shielding is ropey or there is a problem. I also suspect that no name cheapo ones might be worth checking and it's generally considered not good to stand close to a microwave for extended running times. That being said as long as you are under the EU limits then you are fine.For home use this is limited although I do find it interesting. For the workplace and for electricians doing tests it might be a useful tool although I suspect that for issuing a certificate you would need a calibrated device costing much more.The device itself is neat, well made - at least the casing is - with an easy to read screen and thankfully limited buttons and options. Basically switch it on and approach the unit to be tested and around 18"/450mm the reading will kick in and start to rise to the peak when you are on it.Overall, an interesting tool and given the price maybe justifiable for a home to have for checking microwaves.
