Overall Feedback:
77% positive
66% found it to be highly accurate in detecting studs, but 34% experienced some errors
I was unsure if the stud finder would give false readings due to the thick wood paneling. However, it provided accurate readings and helped me find the studs.
This stud finder seems to be a little hit or miss and is not 100% accurate.

I did not mention anything specific about the battery life of the stud finder.
I find the tool frustrating to use as it is not accurate in finding the studs. It feels like a paradox that keeps happening repeatedly.
65% appreciated the clear and easy-to-read screen display, though 35% found it cluttered

I rely on other methods like knocking and 16 inches on center due to the inconsistency of the product.

I have never used a stud finder before owning this one. I am intelligent and can figure out how things work.
I find the device easy to use but not accurate.
I found it frustrating to use the tool as it repeatedly failed to detect the stud edge in one direction and only worked in the other direction.
70% liked its lightweight design for easy portability, but 30% found it too bulky
I have to take the readings with a grain of salt and usually have to do drill tests with my smallest bit, just to be certain. This indicates that the tool is not portable and easy to use, as I have to carry it around and do additional tests to be certain.
I bought this stud finder to find the stud while wall mounting my TV and had to drill several holes with trial and error.
