It did not work very well on concrete in Hawaii which is a humid environment... It would only work to about 4 inches depth It works fine on drywall and concrete in a dry environment. Had to get a Hilti to do the job.

El equipo es muy bueno lo recomiendo.

Works as described. Easy to learn use. Takes some experimanting to choose scan modes. Finds objects in deep and complicated wall spaces

Me llegó rápido y en buen estado lástima del personal de reparto muy grosero el vato que bueno que no todos son así ojalá no regrese a traer otro pedido.

Doesn’t accurately read concrete, it struggles with multi-layered wall ( old plaster/metal-link walls, and bathroom tile.I really wanted to believe in this product because it is important to know what is behind a wall. This product failed in places where it matters most.I don’t need a stud finder… experience and a cheap stud finder is good enough. Nevertheless, if I’m core drilling through a foundational wall then a 1000 bucks is nothing compared to the repair cost and my time.For 1000.00 bucks, you better work!!! Don’t know why Bosch is even selling this product. Well, back to just taking educated guesses.

Tested on a known wall. Results weren't consistent nor exact.

A basic studfinder does a pretty good job on sheetrock walls. But when there is siding or sheathing or plywood behind, and I want to see plumbing or wiring, this is what I was hoping for from this radar-based unit. It kind-of works, but seems constantly confused between "non-metal" and suddenly "live" (wire) even when there is no wiring on the stud. Maybe its seeing a screw or nail? I can't tell. Most of the sensor modes are for concrete and masonry, only one for drywall. When it does work, it has been very accurate. But I still struggle to really see what is going on behind garage walls with 5/8 sheetrock on top of plywood. It completely misses PEX tubing. Finally - forget about seeing anything within 4-5" of the end of a wall. The ENTIRE unit has to completely pass-over an object before anything will register on the screen. I would return it but its too late.

Read the reviews carefully. Pretty much everything everyone said was correct. The box was opened but all the contents were in the original packaging, I think it was opened for verification purposes. The battery charger was for North America, so no problem with the extra battery. The only issue I had was trying to figure out how to open the button batter compartment, use a screwdriver carefully. This arrived exactly as I hoped and works as advertised by Bosch. This is a professional tool, and its price reflects that. Firmware was up to date, but I would download an extra copy just in case. The tool registered just fine on the Bosch warranty site. For the price this was a good deal the only reservation I had was purchasing from a seller who goes by the name of my favorite childhood cartoon character. Bugs did me right!

Pros:1. Accurate Detection: The Bosch D-Tect200C delivers on its promise of top performance. It accurately detects a wide range of materials including wood, metal, plastic, and even live wires, making it an essential tool for professionals.2. Cordless Convenience: The 12V cordless design ensures you can take it anywhere without worrying about power sources. This enhances portability and saves time on setting up cords.3. Easy-to-Use Interface: The intuitive user interface and backlit display simplify operation. Even beginners can quickly learn to use this device effectively.4. Deep Scanning Depth: With the ability to scan up to 6 inches deep, it's ideal for identifying structural elements within walls, making it perfect for renovation and construction projects.5. Robust Build: Bosch's reputation for durability shines through in the D-Tect200C. It's designed to withstand tough job site conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.6. Data Storage: The tool saves the last 10 measurements, which is extremely useful for reviewing and documenting findings.Cons:1. Pricey: The Bosch D-Tect200C is an investment, and it might be on the expensive side for casual users. However, its features and accuracy justify the cost for professionals.2. Learning Curve: While the user interface is intuitive, it may take some time for beginners to become fully proficient in using all its functions effectively.3. Limited to Certain Materials: While it's fantastic for common construction materials, it may struggle with less common substances, so it's not a one-size-fits-all solution.4. Battery Life: The cordless convenience is fantastic, but heavy use can drain the battery quickly. Having a spare battery on hand is a good idea for longer tasks.In summary, the Bosch D-Tect200C 12V Cordless Wallscanner is a top-tier professional tool that delivers impressive accuracy and convenience. Its price may be a hurdle for some, but for those who require precise and reliable scanning, it's well worth the investment.

This scanner is nothing more than a fancy stud finder. Moreover, my 10-year-old-school stud finder can point out studs and wiring just as accurate. It did not locate a single rebar reinforcement in my garage and ground level slabs, which I know are there for sure. The living space slabs are 4" per IBC which should be well in the range of the tool. Each and every time the readings are different. Not worth a thousand bucks. Disappointed.UPDATE: Back here after 1 year. I ended up keeping the tool. I found it actually pretty useful especially the raw screening mode. It is very accurate and repeatable, pinpointing stud edges and other stuff behind drywall and pipes in concrete floors within 1/16" accuracy. It's a bit bulky and pricey for sure. It also comes with quite a bit of learning curve and getting used to it. But, in the end it becomes a second nature. My good old stud finder sits on the shelf now.

This thing is a great versatile device, however the items that I received from the seller (“BUGS BUNNY”) seems to be used/returned items. Boxes were quite banged up with seal on the device is already opened (somehow whomever returned/used this previously was managed to open the seal carefully). The 4 AA batteries were already opened. To add an insult to injury, the charger is for EU 220V (when the description says for US)! Fortunately I can still use the device with regular AA batteries and the device is still ok. Suspiciously the white plastic seems to be reinserted to the slot and yet the device can still scan. Initially I wanted to return this to get a refund, but the hassle to do it made me wonder. I can still gift this to my folks in other country that uses the same plug and voltage. Be careful when buying from vendors other than Amazon that claim to sell items as “new” and lower price. Learnt the lesson. Very satisfied with this tool. On par with Franklin Sensor on accuracy and delivers more features that other scanners can’t. This even beats Makita that sells for more $$$ in terms of value and features.I’m yet to explore all of its features but here’s my takes so far after using it for few days.PROS:- Lightweight enough for its size and class.- Sturdy and portable enough.- Large color screen.- Came with everything that you need (charger, case, batteries, manuals, strap).- Accuracy and able to detect different materials and live wires. (This is what matters actually!).- Bosch Lithium battery or 4 AA batteries. Versatile power source choices.- Audible and visual color indicators.- Simple to operate. My 9 yrs old son was having fun with itS- Has 4 scanning/view mode.CONS:- The scanner often has to go through several rolling to the left and right to determine the material under the drywall as for “warm up”. It may show unknown material when it’s yet to get it: But once it gets it, I love it when it displays the name of the material and the exact width of the material (on the 2nd view mode). It displays it in color as well.- Not sure how well it would last when used under heavy use and dusty env. I guess time will tell. Perhaps the rotary cells will go bust first.- Big Screen needs protection as it’s prone to get cracked if you drop it. I’m pretty sure no one wants to do drop test on this.- $$$$ expensive but again, for its features, no other devices can match for its value over price. I was thinking to get Makita that’s more expensive but this thing is way more useful and cheaper. if this is too much, Franklin Scanner perhaps would be best one out there for way less (of course the features can’t match this), in fact, I’m using both so I can compare the results.- The battery compartment cover seems a bit fragile on its sides. Might want to be extra careful there when opening/inserting the batteries.
