Summary: Not very good
Comment: I have textured wall. Even using the tool the way suggested by the manufacturer, I have really inconsistent results. About half the time the "stud" turns out not to be a "stud."

It will locate the stud (eventually), but you better double check the reading. The center of stud may not be there, even with the deep sensor mode. It instructs you to move the stud finder slowly over the surface. This will take some time.
I am a new user. To me, it could, and should work better sensing studs, and wires.

Summary: Worthless
Comment: I tried this in the store and it seemed to work great on the store demonstrator. I tried it at home on new drywall with 2 coats of paint and it did not work at all. The readings were irratic and not repeatable. I put up the drywall and so I have a good idea where the studs are. This thing was off by 4 inches or more on both the stud and the AC wiring.

Summary: The Price Is Right!
Comment: I bought the i65 to see where the studs were in my wall so i could rip off the plywood (I live in a house built in about 1910 and remodeled around 1950 in a perpetually wet area, so there ain't no drywall) and repair the electrical connections to my washer and dryer. this thing is great at detecting electrical currents, which is GREAT, but when it comes to detecting studs through thick paint (or worse, plaster) covered plywood more than 3/4" thick, it's at a loss. Lucky it comes with a dvd, 'casue the instuctions suck. After watching the dvd (and cracking jokes about it and laughing the whole time)
it suggests using a thin piece of cardboard or chipboard to run the unit across while scanning. This totally works (when you use deepscan), but seems to affect accuracy. As a rough guide, it's awesome, but if you need to find a stud without destroying your wall, maybe the i500 (the model that turned me on to zircon) or a more advanced model is a better idea.
