> 24 hourIts only natural for the signal injected at the outlet to bleed over to other circuits. The receiver has to be able to filter the lesser signals and only beep on the strongest. This one does not. It signals on too many breakers to isolate the one I want. So, I took it out to my shed with 6 outlets and 3 breakers in the whole box. It signaled strongly on all 3 breakers. I moved it around and it still signaled on all 3. I spent quite a bit of time adjusting sensitivity to no avail. Im returning it and will hit the Home Depot a little later for a Klein. Oh, and the circuit tester shows open neutral on all breakers.

> 24 hourThis device is very easy to use and allowed me to determine a problem with the house wiring in the circuit breaker cabinet. I contacted an electrician and he was able to resolve the problem which could have resulted in damage to appliances and devices plugged into the affected outlets. I dont understand the whole issue but it had something to do with the neutral leads. The symptoms were this device sounded off on multiple breakers for widely separated outlets. The electrician was able to fix the issue fairly quickly and once he finished the device worked flawlessly.

> 24 hourI own lots of these, and I am always ringing out wires... if you read bad reviews, well, that will happen with these products... mainly because, they are very unique, tempermental, and each brand has its own personality. for the newb, it can seem like, its too hard to trace, but with some trial n errror, u learn what works. how? test on a circuit you know both ends... be sure to pick one in the middle of the breaker panel find a way to test, so it works, adj. sensitivity, distance, speed, etc. once you perfect one that works, u can then move on to the mystery circuits... overall, for the receptacle gfi tester, and the tracer, this is an amazing value, and it works! recommended! 4.5 stars

> 24 hourGot this to map out the electrical outlets for my new house when the electricians didnt bother to put the right info on the panel. This worked perfectly for every single outlet/circuit that I tried. This is really handy and Im really glad that I got it, even if I only need it for one use (if I labeled them all correctly). The only anomaly, there is an outlet that ZI feel is improperly installed, but when I plugged the receiver in to test the outlet, the two lights lit up green to say that the ground was fine. But when I plugged it in - the lights for the entire circuit shut down... Maybe the problem isnt with the ground, but I was sure that there was some problem that this should have detected. But I really love how simple and easy-to-use this is. It really is great. It even comes with a 9-volt battery, which I think is rare (in my experience).

> 24 hourMy house was built in the 1950s and added on to many times by people that didnt always know what they were doing. As a result, my wiring is a hodgepodge mess with outlets on different sides of the house sharing the same circuit in some cases. This unit worked on a few of my circuits, but most were not accurate at all (would signal on the wrong circuits). I have a mix of double and single pole breakers, all covered by a sheet metal panel. Playing with the sensitivity seemed to help, but it varied so much from circuit to circuit that I found it was faster to just start flipping breakers on and off while talking to my wife on a hand held radio rather than fiddling with the sensitivity setting each time. The unit seems well made, and is very easy to use. It would probably work much more effectively on a newer house with newer (and cleaner) wiring. But for my situation, it didnt work at all unfortunately.
