1 out of 5 stars Overpriced poor performance   April 6, 2008

This device attempts to be a stud finder, metal finder and live-wire detector. It works best as a metal detector but you can't turn off the live-wire detector which is fooled by static electricty and gives so many false positives you don't know what you have in the wall.

I recently tried to find the position of studs in an exterior wall of a new home with sheetrock and vinyl siding. In the metal mode I got a rough idea (looking for nails or screws) but it seemed to identify more studs than existed and according to the readings I was sure there was a live-wire in there.

I then tried a Zircon stud finder that cost half as much as the Bosch and found less studs and those it found were in different positions than those indicated by the Bosch.

I cut into the wall and found the Zircon was correct and there was NO wires, live or otherwise. The Bosch showed the position of the studs off by 1-2 inches and indicated studs were there were none.

I was disappointed in the stud finder. Using it on an outside wall that has foil backed insulation is a normal task. I found the finder's performance lacking.

FYI, the UK version of this is "DMF 10 Zoom". A search using this reference will give you reviews.
From what I've read this is a good quality and relatively inexpensive wall scanner.
Looking forward to getting hold of one.....
