I received this in December 2018 as a gift. It is useful when maintaining the crawl space, easy to use. I have mild arthritis in my thumbs and am frustrated with inability to open the battery compartment. I like to remove batteries prior to storage. Other family members are also unable to open it. I would not get this type of product again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this and have been using for six weeks. Just accidentally ran through a commercial washer and dryer and it still works fine. Decent battery life also.
