Recently we decided to buy an EMF meter to measure electromagnetic and electric radiation levels in our house. I did what I always do in those cases – quite a bit of research. After a considerable time spent looking at various options, I was able to find only two meters worth buying: The Trifield 100XE and another EMF meter, at about twice the price, but less features (I will briefly review it also in another post, for completeness). No other meters in this price range even came close, as they were missing some important features.
Below is my brief review of the most important features and benefits of the Trifield 100XE meter and our first impressions when we started using it recently. [...]
This was the only other EMF meter I was able to find, besides the Trifield 100XE [link] which uses three-axis technology, in this price range. What this means is that the unit is able to measure accurately the field strength in a particular spot, no matter which way it’s facing.
Like the Trifield meter, the FW Bell 4100 series is lightweight and portable and in fact it has a better accuracy than the Trifield EMF meter. However, it does not measure the radio frequencies or microwaves. The other significant difference is that the display is digital. I personally prefer analog display, because the needle can alert you to sudden spikes of the EMF radiation, something the digital display units usually struggle with. However, if you would rather prefer an EMF meter with digital display, then FW Bell 4180 would be worthy of consideration.
The other consideration is [...]
