HOTO Laser Measuring Tool, Unique Gifts for Mom Dad, Pocket-Size 98Ft Laser Tape Measure ±2mm Accuracy, USB-C Rechargeable, OLED Display, Ft/M/in Unit, Real-time Data Sync, Cool Gadgets & Home Use

Great for measuring room dimensions. I use it in my woodworking for interior dimensions of cabinets and drawers. Easy to use. Clear instruction pamphlet included.

Ok, so yeah, you can easily find something similar to this, that can do mostly everything that it does, as well as a whole lot more, for something like thirty bucks. Well, I already knew that before I ordered this laser measuring tool. And I also already knew that I would have to use the app to switch between the front-based mode for free measurement, and the tail-based mode for edge measurement, because one of the pictures said that was the case. Now, I think they should have made this so that you didn't have to use the app to switch between those two measuring modes, but they didn't. And since I already knew that before I ordered this, if I was upset about it then that would be my own fault, lol. But despite that, I still ordered it. And I can't say exactly why either. I think I'm starting to develop a compulsion to obtain as many of HOTO's products as I can. I don't know, they are just very attractive to me for some reason. I think HOTO might even be a part of that very popular Beijing company, Xiaomi, because that's the developer of the Mi Home app that is sometimes used with HOTO products. And speaking of the app, it's actually not half bad. But don't just take my word for it. Because at the time of this review, the Mi Home app on the Google Play Store had 50 million downloads and had an average rating of 4.2 stars from ONE MILLION reviews! Anyway, I wouldn't recommend gifting this to someone, or using it yourself, if it's going to be used as an everyday measuring tool on constructions sites or anything like that. No, this is more meant for use around the house every now and then. Well, that's my opinion at least.

great compact tool. easy to carry around and quality is descent. Ease of can be awkward because of screen and button position. Accurate measurements.

Perfect light weight portable pocket measuring tool. I thought it to be novelty but have found many uses at work. Quick and easy to use.

Compact and accurate. However it works unpredictably outdoors in sunlight.

Quick laser. Easy to use. Easy to read. Very accurate. Great price. Small enough to carry around

After using this and reading the instructions carefully, it’s clear this is only a basic laser distance meter. It does not measure along surfaces and the orange “ring” is not a wheel — it doesn’t roll or measure anything. The design makes it look more versatile than it really is. This device only measures from the back of the unit to where the laser hits (wall to wall, wall to object, etc.). That severely limits its usefulness for normal home tasks like measuring rugs, furniture, tables, or items on the floor. For those, a regular tape measure works much better. The instructions are poorly written and don’t clearly explain these limitations. With only one button and vague directions, it’s confusing at first and easy to misunderstand what the product can actually do. If you only need occasional room measurements, it may be fine. But if you’re looking for a general-purpose measuring tool, this isn’t it. The design and marketing are misleading. I’m returning the item.

Handy around the house and pretty accurate

Es un buen producto y sumamente cómodo. Si bien el precio es algo elevado para su función principal, las funciones adicionales que ofrece la aplicación móvil hacen que valga totalmente la pena. En cuanto a la precisión, es muy similar —si no idéntica— a la de otros productos que he comprado anteriormente, a pesar de que esos otros cuestan apenas un tercio de lo que vale este. Adjunto una imagen para que puedan ver cómo las mediciones son básicamente iguales. La configuración inicial del dispositivo es bastante tediosa, pero una vez que se logra, el producto se paga solo gracias a que guarda el historial completo de todas las mediciones realizadas.

Indispensable ! je ne peux plus m'en passer. Donne les mesures exactes en un rien de temps. La qualité HOTO est là ! Plus besoin de faire de la gymnastique pour mesurer une surface. Simple, efficace et se transporte dans une poche.

Super handy to take measurements with. Only slight downside is the software/app you have to use if you wish to store the measurements seamlessly. You have to use the app Xiaomi Home, which I'm honestly not a fan of when it comes to using this laser measurer. The app isn't dedicated to the device, so you have to jump through a few hoops to get it going. Just wish that was done better.

This is a very handy little laser measuring tool. It’s genuinely pocket-sized, quick to use, and gives consistent, accurate readings for room dimensions, internal measurements and general workshop or DIY jobs. Accuracy has been spot on for my needs when checked against a tape measure, and the digital readout makes single-person measuring far easier than wrestling with a traditional tape. USB-C charging and good battery life make it practical rather than gimmicky. It’s also beautifully designed — compact, minimalist and well finished — and feels like a thoughtfully made product rather than a cheap gadget. Although it’s clearly aimed at everyday indoor use rather than heavy industrial work, I’ve been using it in an industrial environment and it’s proven perfectly capable for quick, accurate measurements. It’s extremely convenient to keep in a pocket and grab when needed.
