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

It’s easy to use and read once one establishes how to hold while taking measurements. All is based on the size of your hand and dexterity of your fingers for grip of measurement. Only the user can determine what is the best application for themselves.

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.

Works well, but the construction seems flimsy. Don't drop this one, it might not survive a 3' fall.

The HOTO Laser Measuring Tool is a game-changing gadget for quick and accurate measurements. With its 98-foot range and ±2mm accuracy, it has proven to be an essential tool for both professional projects and DIY tasks around the house. Its sleek, compact design and intuitive features make it a joy to use. The OLED display is crisp and easy to read, even in dim lighting, and the real-time measurement feature works seamlessly, providing instant feedback as you move. The ability to switch between meters, inches, and feet is extremely convenient for different projects, whether I’m measuring for furniture placement or planning renovations. One of the standout features is the real-time data sync, which pairs effortlessly with a smartphone app for recording and organizing measurements. This is especially handy when working on multi-step projects or sharing dimensions with others. The tool feels solidly built, with a durable exterior that can handle regular use without wear or tear. Setup and operation are straightforward, even for first-time users. The laser is highly visible, making it easy to mark out precise points. The compact size and lightweight design make it portable, fitting neatly into a pocket or tool pouch. Delivery was quick, and the product arrived in excellent condition with clear instructions. If you’re looking for a reliable, accurate, and modern measuring tool, the HOTO Laser Measuring Tool is an excellent investment. Highly recommended for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike!

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.

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

Great product. Thank you

I’m quite impressed with this little device. I put a quarter in the picture for scale. It is easy to use. I scanned the QR in the box and installed the app. Connected it via Bluetooth quickly and easily to my phone. There’s one button on the side that you push once to start the measurement and then push a second time to record the measurement. The bad: the screen is kinda fuzzy as you can see in the photo. That’s it. The good: I just measured this room I’m in with a tape measure and also this device. It’s spot on and really accurate. This is going to save me lots of time when I need to measure a property I’m listing. Mine came set up for feet and inches. Not sure about the other reviews that say it lists in fractions or decimal points. That’s not the case with the one I got. Very happy and I recommend this for anyone looking for a small and easy to use laser measurement device.

Excelente o produto, leve e cumpre o prometido. A função de puxar para o app no celular facilita muito pelo fato de nao precisar ficar carregando folha para anotar. Somente para ambientes externos que nao funciona direito pelo fato de ser laser e com o sol forte ele nao pega longe. Mas recomendo sem dúvida a trena

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.

Got this as a gift for my brother. Very useful and quite accurate. We used it to measure out the dimensions of a industrial shop - came in handy for long distances. More effective than a floppy tale measurer for big rooms. Elegant too, fits in your pocket

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.
