FLIR MR77 Pinless Moisture Meter

After the guarantee runs out you cannot get a repair anywhere in Europe and can only be repaired if sent back to America. This is incredible! DO NOT BUY THIS METER I have two now that require repair so basically useless if they develop a fault.

This meter is considered one of the best for water restoration - accurate and reliable.

Review of the MR77: I use this instrument professionally and debated on it and a few other moisture meters. Our office utilized Delmhorst and Protimeter moisture meters, so was able to compare this model with those. I have been using this instrument for moisture mapping for about a month at the time of this review. Pros: 1. Very good build quality. The instrument feels very solid in the hand and feels high quality. 2. Measurements (relative humidity, temperature, scanning moisture, direct reading moisture) all appear very accurate in multiple situations. No lab quality testing but am able to compare to other instruments. 3. Can confirm device functions with Flir tools app on iOS. 4. Condensation function of this device very helpful. 5. The MR77 uses a 9volt battery and battery life is amazing. I also use a FlirONE for thermal, so the other newer moisture meters from Flir were less appealing. Note we also use numerous Fluke IR cameras for moisture mapping. 6. Price is actually a plus. This is a well made professional device that combines many meters in one device. Cons: 1. iOS Flir Tools app needs some work and crashes often for me and other investigators. Not a con on the device. 2. Compared to other manufacturers, FLIR does not specify what is considered dry, borderline, and wet. The flexibility allows the user to set alarms for those readings. However, in professional work it is often helpful for the manufacturer to offer guidance on that for most materials so this can be quoted in reports as backup to inspector interpretation. While I understand the decision from Flir, it would be difficult to adopt this device without the ability to cross reference the Flir MR77 readings against other moisture meter readings. Summary, great device.

Exactly what we needed !

Love the MR77 moisture meter. Super easy to use, easy to configure how you like, backlight is very good. I use mainly non-penetrating, but it's nice to have the included penetrating pins just in case. I use this meter almost daily.
