Very unreliable - used it at home right over existing switches and it neither detected the studs, nor the electric wires.
The Franklin 710 works just fine (doesn't have the live wire detector, but at least finds the studs reliably)

And you can get a Franklin with a wire detector.

Problem with the Franklin Sensors ones are, they don't last. If you are a home owner and use it a couple times a year, they are fine probably. I own a finish carpentry business and literally have a pouch on my belt specifically to carry one all the time, and I only get about a year or so out of each one. It tends to be the switches that go out, so I hack them and put in a generic push button switch and that gets me another year or two out of them. At $40+ apiece, that isn't good enough. Luckily I picked up about 15 of them when Sam's was closing them out for $7, so I am hoping to run those out to retirement.

So...I have bought about 8 of them so far. Just noticed on the last one I got that it says on the package "Lifetime Warranty". So I registered it on the website and will probably find out in a few months. But you really can't beat the Franklin sensors. There's no going back after you use one.

I agree they work about the best for a "budget" one. I believe the warranty says something like, "1 year for commercial use", but I'll look in to it more. Thanks,

Get this one instead of Franklin, same company but cheaper. It has live wire:
