Summary: Accurate useful tool
Comment: I'm a DIY guy. I just used this laser level to install new kitchen cabinets. It self-leveled with repeatability, referenced against a 6' True Blue level. The True Blue level is guaranteed to be accurate within .0005 inch/inch or .0029 degrees. The two levels were in exact agreement, at far as I could see. In a real world application, such a installing cabinets, I believe that this laser level probably delivers a more accurate result than a bubble level because it is stationary when attached to the wall and doesn't rely on the human eye to exactly center a bubble or someone holding the level exactly still. This is especially true when the distance leveled is longer than the bubble level, requiring the stick level to be moved to mark a line around a room. Our bubble levels may be accurate to .0029 degrees, but how many of us can read a bubble and place a line on a wall with that degree of accuracy on a repeatable basis ? When attached to the middle of a 14 foot wall the laser level makes it easy to identify elevation variations in a floor by allowing you to measure from the floor to the laser line at intervals along the wall, which is useful in cabinet installation. In the "locked" mode I can see where this tool would be great for floor tile or other 90 degree layout projects. A very useful tool, especially for the low cost. I bought mine (new) at an auction site for about $16 including shipping. This tool is a useful bargain for the DIY crowd, who can't justify the cost of a self-leveling rotary laser. Good luck !
Tool attaches to vertical surfaces using 3M adhesive strips which can be removed without surface damage. Great for working alone and of course no damage is good. The adhesive strips are one-time use items, so you have to buy more if you use them. Issues are availability and cost of strips.

Summary: I could not have imagined it would work so well
Comment: After reading the mixed reviews, I decided that it was worth taking a chance, given the low price. What I found was a tool that projected lines clearly and accurately, and it self leveled far better than I ever thought it would.
I've used traditional bubble levels, and levels with built in lasers that rely on the user positioning them using a bubble. With any of those, there is still a degree of error since it's a matter of judgment whether the bubble is exactly between the lines or in the middle of the circle.
This level merely requires being held against a wall, or mounted with adhesive. It doesn't matter if you hold it a few degrees off center because the lines will eventually come to rest exactly where they should.
After rereading some of the negative reviews, it became clear that some reviewers simply did not know how to use it and never read the directions. Since the bottom part is curved, it's not surprising that one reviewer found things off by a few inches since if it's facing the correct way, it will fall over completely if you put it down. It is designed to be against a wall with the switch facing toward you and the writing facing the correct way to read.
The manufacturer also says you will get 10 hours of use with four 1.5v alkaline batteries, so I don't understand why a reviewer would use four 1.2v NiMH rechargeable batteries instead, and then complain that it's dim. If your batteries drop from 6v to 4.8, it might be time to replace them.
I found the switch to be easy to use, and had no problems at all. It's possible that there are defective units out there, but by the nature of the design, it's hard to imagine that leveling would be off. But if your switch sticks or you have to whack the thing to use it, even with good batteries, Amazon will not only give you a refund, but will also pay for return shipping, so it's not much of a gamble.
A limitation is that you can't use this to check to see if your floor is level, nor could you project a line within the bottom inches of your wall. But the manufacturer tells you that up front. And you also can't sit it on a desk or a table that you want to level. But you wouldn't want a laser for that anyway.
