Insulation in a wall seems to be the biggest hurdle for most scanners. I want to know how this thing handles that as well as bad repairs on drywall.

I had one and returned it because it was totally inaccurate. I built my house and I know where the pipes are, it was showing PVC pipes in exterior walls that I KNOW are not present. I wouldn't spend any amount of money on this - and I'm a huge Dewalt fan.

There are different options available for the quality of scan. (24bit, color, 8bit grey and Black\White) You have options in the software also for home\office\pro mode which allow more granularity to how the image is adjusted (I have used this numerous times to keep a copy of my receipts from stores such as Home Depot that use thermal paper that "disappear" with age\heat. I had numerous HP all-in-ones and hated them all. I love this one. Only problem is that if you set it up on Network and USB, USB wont work if you are VPN'd into a corporate network. It acts like it cant see it, even though there is a USB connection available.

I only used it on painted drywall. It works well until there's too much moisture on the wall.

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

I have had mine for a few months and have had not problems measuring along the side walls of a house or other building. Every once in a while it does not register as I am measuring, but a quick reset does the trick. That has happened when measuring on the ground, only.

In certain situations are wrinkled paper I do not think it will work. The scanner will most likely jam.

I'm no expect. From what I've read about reflective insulation is it only has about R-1.7 rating at best when it doesn't have an air space. Everything I've read about this type of insulation states it works best with an empty air space between the wall and foil. All seams must be taped over, preferably with aluminum tape.

Please forgive my lack of promptness. The unit is not kept at my primary home. Now that I've checked it I can sadly say that "no" it is not wall readily wall mountable. I imagine you could jerry-rig some sort of attachment gear by taking it apart and finding spots where it would be safe to drill holes in the plastic case.I disagree with the person who said it was a piece of junk. There are lemons in every batch of every product, of course, but mine has worked fine for over 2 years. I usually charge 4 batteries at a time, but have never used it twice in the same day. It's never seemed overly warm to me. I love that it lets you drain batteries fully before recharging them. Please forgive my lack of promptness. The unit is not kept at my primary home.

I don't recommend this. I think there is an other radon seal product ( www.radonseal.com ) especially for painted walls.

It has worked for me in a 1930's home with 2 layers of cement board plaster, and one layer of drywall (with baby on the 2nd floor and me in the basement). In addition, I know my monitor works outside of her room up to 3 blocks away. If I go any further than that, it beeps to let you know. But the range is definitely great within our old house, with multiple layers of drywall, 2 baby monitors, and Wi-Fi. No interference.

I just got mine and the probe containing the sensor where it joins the rest of the wire is not waterproof. I called Johnson Controls and confirmed this. Immersing the probe into water will cause it to act irratically. Mine just took a long time to register the temperature (I mean upwards of 40 minutes after I put it into the bath. It is very difficult to use the probe without immersing the whole thing in the water. Someone is using a plastic bag to insulate the bath. While that will work, it is cumbersome, with cooking going on, meat bags, cover etc going on at the same time. I wonder about using heat tolerant epoxy to seal the joint.

You would need a tech and make sure they take every connection apart and check them for leaks. The unit I got every seal was bad and needed to be fixed. It was a complete disaster.

The only time I have jams is when I am scanning a narrow receipt with a larger piece of paper. The narrow piece usually will pass right through and if crooked the program straigtens it. However, if it jams the scanner easily opens with the push of the release and it is built so that the jams are not hopeless. Different weights of paper incliding the thin receipt weight to construction paper weight have never been a problem. I have even put my credit card through it. I continue to be VERY impressed with this device.

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.

As others have answered before me, yes, you can scan floor and wall texture.
