BTMETER BT-100 Handheld Anemometer, Digital Wind Speed CFM Meter Gauge Air Flow Velocity Tester for HVAC Shooting Drone, Wind Chill, 14℉-113℉ Wind Temperature

I have a need to be able to measure the flow of air and was looking for a low cost solution that I could get fast. When I saw the BTMETER BT-100 handheld anemometer I decided to give it a try. One review I read while deciding which product to buy concerned difficulty in removing the battery door. The battery door is actually very easy to remove if you know how. To remove this door you first need to remove the two screws with the provided screwdriver. You then need to pull the door EXACTLY straight out. The fit is tight so if you lift one side more than the other it will make it much harder to pull out. With the two screws out I was able to put a fingernail under each side on the part that holds the screws and pry up. If you do this or something similar it is very easy to remove. The instructions for this meter are very minimal so my next couple of comments relate to use of the instrument. The device measures temperature and the spec is +/- 3.6F. A lot of the reviews complain that the temperature measurement doesn't work. I put it in a room that is approximately 71F. The temperature on the meter was 69.9F which is within the tolerance. The important thing to understand is that it is very slow to change. It took around 30 minutes to get up to that temperature (I didn't measure it initially because I didn't know it was so slow). I am not sure why it is so slow but if this is important to you than FYI. There is a button on the meter so you can display temperature in F or C. The main reason I got the meter was to be able to measure the flow of air. The fan blades are very sensitive to air flow. Just picking up the meter causes the fans blades to turn. I don't know about the accuracy of measurement for air flow. For my usage it is more important to get a number then I want to know the amount of change when I change things and for this usage the meter works great for me. The only problem I had was I sometimes put the meter in a spot where I could not see the display. I finally figured out how to work around this problem. There is a button labeled MAX/MIN. Pushing this button toggles it between MAX, MIN and nothing. If it is in MAX mode it will continue to display the maximum value when you remove the meter from the air flow. I started to use the meter in MAX mode in the cases where I could not see the display. The main cause of this problem was the minimal instructions that the meter has. There is a timeout (to save on battery drain) where the meter turns off and it is approximately 15 minutes. When it turns back on again the units I selected for air speed and temperature were preserved. The MAX/MIN setting was not. This is a quick review that I will update after I have used it for a longer period of time if there is something else of interest to add. At this point in time I am very happy with this meter. I got it overnight free with Amazon Prime!

I picked up the BTMETER BT‑100 Handheld Anemometer recently for drone flights and my RV HVAC checks—and it's quickly become my go-to gadget. For anyone serious about wind data—drone pilots, HVAC DIYers, sailors, hobbyists—the BTMETER BT‑100 delivers pro-grade features in a compact package. Accurate, versatile, and user-friendly with an unbeatable price tag. It’s earned a permanent spot in my toolkit.

It does provide an air flow speed and rotates smoothly, so no reason to assume it wont work. Easy to set the desired units. If the need is to use this to get airflow, to then combine with cross-sectional area of pipe/vent to compute air flow rates, its probably good enough being an alleged 5% accurate. For sizing such flows its perfect. Not really for precise weather data capture. Getting the battery compartment open is a bit tricky, which is really the only ding I have against it. Removing the 2 screws is easy enough, but even with them out, getting the battery lid off is non-trivial as you have to lever it out from the screw hole areas, as the battery box lid has a box section that slides down into the body of the battery box space on the unit.. so its a bit friction fit there. Keeps the bulk of water out, but makes it hard to get apart to replace or remove batteries. A much smaller lip with an embedded silicone gasket to set against (held down by the screws) would have been a better design with only a $2 increased cost.

I recently purchased the BTMETER BT-100 Handheld Anemometer, and I’m very impressed with its performance. This digital wind speed meter is perfect for measuring wind speed, air flow, and CFM, making it a versatile tool for both professionals and hobbyists. The device is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around and use on the go. The digital display is clear and easy to read, even in bright sunlight. I appreciate the straightforward button layout, which makes navigating the different modes simple, even for someone who's not particularly tech-savvy. One of the standout features is its accuracy. I’ve tested it in various conditions, and it consistently provides reliable readings. The built-in backlight is also a great addition for low-light situations. The BT-100 comes with a wrist strap and a protective pouch, which are nice touches that add to the overall convenience and durability of the product. Whether you're monitoring weather conditions for outdoor activities or checking airflow in HVAC systems, this anemometer gets the job done efficiently. Highly recommended for anyone needing a dependable and user-friendly wind speed meter!

Acheté pour affiner le réglage du débit d'air en sortie des bouches d'insufflation de ma vmc double flux. Fait le job en y ajoutant un cornet dessus (fabrication maison) pour empêcher toute fuite d'air parasite.

Articolo ottimo che bada al sodo senza funzioni inutili. Segna solo la velocità del vento istantanea, quella massima, quella minima e quella media. Molto sensibile, rileva vento anche molto blando. Testato col contachilometri dell'auto, ponendolo fuori dal finestrino in una giornata senza vento, sembra essere anche abbastanza preciso. Lo uso per vedere se posso decollare con il drone senza rischi. Come rapporto qualità/prezzo mi sembra ottimo.

Gayet güzel çalışıyor, bu fiyata iyi ürün.

Excelente producto, muy sensible y fácil de usar. Al parecer no almacena registros en memoria. Lo probé para medir la velocidad de extracción de aire en una habitación, mediante extractor (autónomo) de tipo esfera de 4". El viento exterior tenía velocidad de 2.0m/s, y el ducto extraía a 1.1m/s, lo que me permitió calcular el volumen desplazado por hora (30m^3/h).

This is a great wind meter. Accuracy wise I can't comment as I did not have another machine to compare values however it is very sensitive and can read even the smallest blows of air. I used for engineering a grow room but this will work perfectly for anyone wanting to measure or record how air moves at what speeds and stuff of that kind. 10/10 recommended!
