Here's a unit which will give you not only accurate digital readings of the amount of leakage from microwave ovens, but it also provides an audible "beeping" alarm and red flashing light when it senses microwaves above the 5 mW/cm² danger threshold! Ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, it is so easy to use: just press the ON button, then press and hold the auto range ZERO button to adjust to zero before each use. Then check the seal of the operating oven door. Sensitivity down to 0.01 mW/cm² at 2450 MHz, it will read all the way up to a roasting 9.99 mW/cm² in hundredths of mW/cm². Battery operates for more than 12 months under normal use.
Never needs re-calibration. Excellent reliability and high precision instrument.
Complete with carry case to keep your unit in perfect condition.
And as a bonus, this unit can be used to measure radiated power from other wireless devices using the 2450 MHz analog frequency. Has nice carry case and backlit display. Uses one 9V battery (included) or can be powered by optional external AC/DC9V adapter. One year wty and ±1dB accuracy. This is the unit we recommend if you need more information about your oven leakage. CE compliant.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
Direct and easy to use and see.
Bought this to test an old microwave. The readout and operation of this meter is simple and does exactly what you want it to do. (A note - this only detects microwave oven radiation - not good for magnetic or electrical radiation). Sure enough my old oven was emitting a dangerous level of microwave radiation, apparently from worn door seals. Got a new Panasonic microwave with extra goodies. Tested it right out of the box and it was worse than my old one! Took it back and warned them that this was a dangerous oven with high levels of microwave radiation. They probably just put it back on the shelf. Finally got a cheaper and somewhat smaller Emerson, tested it and it worked great - very low emission. This microwave detector has already paid for itself as far as I'm concerned.

Excellent for Price
I had removed and disassembled a microwave oven door in order to replace a broken handle and wanted some level of assurance that the oven was not leaking dangerously after the repair. In my case, the unit gave readings between 1/100 and half a milliwatt per square centimeter when moved around the over door seals and across the glass at a distance of about 2". These readings are well below the FDA limit of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter where the unit is supposed to beep. So it seems to be pretty sensitive - and, from the last review (where the unit did beep), also able to detect higher, more dangerous levels of leakage. It probably deserves 5 stars but there is no way to absolutely validate its accuracy, so I am giving it four.
Does what it says
Bought this unit and used it on 3 different microwaves, ranging in age from 9 years old to one year old. I primarily bought unit to test microwave I purchased for $25, but could easily sell for $200. I was concerned about a small plastic bubble above viewing glass. Used other detector from Radio Shack which indicated no concerns. The Radio Shack unit just has needle from green to red - no numbers.
Moving this purchased unit around door seam, i noticed a very small increment in microwave readings around low elevated bubble, but still well below normal readings. Like any microwave, good idea to leave area when it's on anyway. Buildup of rays occurs about 3 seconds after it starts.
The safe ranges are all provided in the manual.
The nice thing is that if you have a larger family, you can loan it out to other family members. Charge them $3 to use it (lol) and bingo, you get your money back!
