This thing is amazing! I'm not a professional, just a DIYer like many other people so my review is based on that. Just follow the instructions and watch the videos that the app points you to. Don't be a "who reads manuals" person. The app holds your hand through the entire process unless you select the "Don't show me this" option when it prompts you. When the app starts up, it will walk you through what kind of studs and walls you have, then give you the options you want to use. The device attaches to the phone using a sticky pad which can be cleaned with water if you get gunk on it. It comes with 2 short cables, 1 USB C and 1 micro USB (Sorry iPhone users). You put your phone on the sticky part, plug it in to your phone, and you're off to the races. It doesn't come with a carrying case of any kind, so I recommend keeping the plastic covering you take off the sticky pad to cover it again when you take your phone off. Like any advanced stud finder, you have to calibrate the device. This consists of moving the device against the wall in large circular motion. It willy notify you when its ready. Then you can use pan or advanced mode, but I recommend panning first, then going to advanced mode. It seemed more accurate that way, plus the app mildly asks you to pan first. The pan has you slide the phone across the wall for whatever distance you want while showing you an image of what it finds. The advanced view is kind of like a radar where you move it across the wall and when it detects a stud it will show it to you in a color. This is the best mode for finding the center of the stud and confirming its a stud and not a PVC pipe or electrical line (more info below). The screen will actually display text with"Stud" or "Pipe/Wire" when in advanced mode to help identify what you're looking at. My quick short story: Just moved in, drywall on wood studs. Wanted to wall mount my 65" TV. Wall is against bathroom. Used $10 stud finder with blinky lights. 1 stud found, the other stud was "found" but when drilled it went into air. Used $50 stud finder with LCD screen that has electrical, wood, and metal settings. Found the same first stud, couldn't find the second again. Enter Walabot: Found both studs (spaced 18 inches). Also found an electrical line next to the right stud and a PVC pipe that was directly to the RIGHT of the left stud. To make matters worse, both previous stud finders found the "center" more to the right of the single stud they found. 1/4" more to the right and I would have had a very expensive plumber bill thanks to that PVC pipe. The Walabot identified the true center of the stud consistently. I confirmed my findings with an endoscope camera thanks to the first air hole I drilled with the regular stud finder (and which prompted me to buy the Walabot). At the time of purchase this was about $60, and with the amount of money I saved by not butchering that PVC pipe, I HIGHLY recommend it. The app is extremely easy to use and the learning curve is small and well guided. The only bad thing I can think of is that it doesn't come with any kind of carrying case. They have a listing for a more premium carrying case, but even just a silk bag would have been better than nothing. Just remember to save the clear hard film that you take off the sticky pad if you don't have a case for it, as you can stick that back on it to protect it from dirt when you put it away. I just put mine back in the box with that hard film. Review: This thing Actually Works !!!! - I'm a handyman and general DIY guy and I've gone from stud finder to stud finder over the years just trying to find the best one and when I saw the advertisement for Walabot I thought would be absolutely awesome if it actually worked as advertised.... and guess what? .. It absolutely does!!! I was very pleasantly surprised to actually be holding the best stud and everything else finder on the market. I have a wall in my basement that I can see both sides of. The finished side & the raw side with the studs and wires, so I knew exactly where everything was located as I slid my Walabot along the finished side and guess who else knew where every stud & wire was located?... Yes my Walabot knew too. So I have to say, I will really love using my Walabot, it will save me a lot of time & money with my future installations ... I only have one problem... what am I gonna do with all my other crappy stud finders because the only one coming with me on all my jobs is my new Walabot 😁 Thanks guys & gals at Walabot you're awesome ! ## Features - Works with Android phones running Android 8 and above - Detects up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) into your walls - Automatically finds and shows the center of the stud, Not compatible with iOS devices or tablets. - Country of Origin: China ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07XP94548 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,795,345 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #644 in Stud Finders & Scanners | | Brand | WALABOT | | Built-In Media | DIY, USB & type C OTG cables, protective film, gel pad, guide | | Connection Type | USB | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 7,122 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07290111110122 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 1.3"D x 3.95"W x 6.15"H | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Vayyar Imaging | | Media Type | USB | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | Walabot DIY Plus | | Product Dimensions | 1.3"D x 3.95"W x 6.15"H | | Scanner Type | Wall | | Warranty Description | 6-month warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WALABOT - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 0.2 Kilograms - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** Walabot DIY Plus - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 1.3"D x 3.95"W x 6.15"H - **Scanner Type:** Wall ## Images ![Walabot DIY Plus - Advanced wall scanner, stud finder - For Android Smartphones - NOT compatible for iPhone and iPads and tablets -DY2PBCGL01 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MbtD9Q6ZL.jpg) ![Walabot DIY Plus - Advanced wall scanner, stud finder - For Android Smartphones - NOT compatible for iPhone and iPads and tablets -DY2PBCGL01 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JVnyUEUVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the difference between Walabot and walabot plus?** A: The Walabot DIY is able to scan on drywall and solid concrete while the Walabot DIY Plus can also scan on those surfaces it has been optimized to also accurately scan on lath and plaster. Additionally, the Walabot DIY Plus has embedded Teflon strips for a smoother scanning experience. **Q: Is it true that the app forces you to enter your google account and PW, to share your data with foreign companies, or else you cant use it?** A: The Android phone will require you to log in so you can get the app from the Play store. The Walabot app does want you to login either by allowing your Google account to connect or you can create a Walabot account. I chose the Walabot account route. As far as to where the data goes I do not know. I do know it's a great product and app and works great. I have the Walabot DIY (not plus) and it is an invaluable tool and works better than much more expensive stud finders. **Q: Does it work through tile?** A: The Walabot DIY Plus is not able to detect accurately through tile at this time. It is an update we are working on for the future. **Q: When will the iphone version be available?** A: There is a wifi version available now that is compatible with iPhone and Android, but it's considerably more expensive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow the instructions, IT WORKS! *by J***S on February 26, 2020* All I can say is WOW.

I have three other scanners in a drawer in my toolbox. They are generally not highly accurate, and a general nuisance to use. The Walabot DIY Plus is one that definitely shows promise. I love the fact that the Walabot shows wooden studs, metal studs and pipes / wires. That generally works pretty well, but it sure would be nice if it actually let you know whether it was a pipe or a live wire. The adhesive rubbery disk that attaches the Walabot to the phone is really a bad idea. It does not quite like to stick to a phone case very well, so it can end up being very wobbly. It sure would be nice to have some sort of magnet on the back of the Walabot and a stick-on metal plate to go on the back of the phone, kind of like some of the phone holders made for cars. The other issue that you can see looking at the back of my unit is how easily the strips are scratched up. Any kind of textured wall will absolutely destroy them in minutes. What you see on my units was caused by about 5 minutes of use. I also tried this on my slab floor just to see what it detects. The problem is that it does not differentiate between pipes and rebar, so I am not sure how much good that would actually do. The expert mode is a mystery to me, maybe because I am no expert. Displaying blobs does not really help me. Hopefully the Walabot people will come out with a solution to the phone attachment problem and offer it to existing customers. As for the app, it would be nice if it were easier to find the exit when you are done using it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Walabot DIY Plus - Advanced Wall Scanner, Stud Finder - for Android Smartphones - fischer 535453 DUOPOWER Wallplug, Red/Gray, 6 mm - Fischer 536161 Fixtainer – Duo Power Plug Box Dowel Set 210 per Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/158013346-walabot-diy-plus-advanced-wall-scanner-stud-finder-for-android](https://www.desertcart.be/products/158013346-walabot-diy-plus-advanced-wall-scanner-stud-finder-for-android) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
