A very interesting device!
First and foremost: do yourself a favor and download the PC software from the company website to make things easier.
The software makes it easier to make sense of the settings and the data.
Otherwise, simply turn it on and let it work. No need to calibrate or any kind of setup.
Straight out of the box: put in a battery and push a button.
Done.
The radiation measurements are nearly instantaneous, but wait for about a minute to get the most accurate ones.
The measurements in my case tend to jump around between 0.13 and 0.18, which is normal (as long as lower than 0.30).
There is a little radiation symbol that blinks on the screen every time a radiation particle is detected, gives a bit a of a good old analog feeling.
I placed the device on a granite countertop in my friend's kitchen and it worked! I got a much higher measurements than I normally see.
Note: do not expect these devices to work on microwaves, radon gas or Wi-Fi - that's a different type of radiation. Need special detectors for that.
Nor sure what the difference is between this model and the white one they have. I have not found anything so far. Maybe a software thing? Anyways.
I like that it is easy to use, compact, clear readings and not too expensive for my first geiger.
The little manual gives a good reference of safe levels vs dangerous levels.
Audio beep can be turned off and there is also a vibration mode, like on a cell phone.
Room for improvement: no internal memory.
Readings are either shown on the device immediately (like a thermometer) or can be fed live via cable to the laptop to be shown and recorded in the software.
Otherwise, a solid recommendation. If you have a question - email the company, they got back to me in less than an hour!

The meter measures dose rate in Sieverts and I've included a photo of it running next to a Ludlum 19 (which is in micro R/hr... multiply readings on Radex by 100 to get mR/hr. Please consider the scale on the Model 19. I found the readings to be pretty close (15 uR on the model 19vs 0.16 uSv on the Radex and 171 uR on the model 19 vs. 1.57 uSv on the Radex. Next time I'll see if I can get the numbers next to a known calibration source for a better comparison.
Anyhow, I'm extremely happy with these results. I like the way the audio tone warns me when I'm in a high-dose area. This item is highly recommended for anybody to keep their dose levels ALARA.

The biggest deficiency of this product (at time of writing I haven't explored the USB-PC Operations so my use has not been complete) is the casing. It should really come with a silicone sleeve, like a Wii-mote has, and instead of a flimsy clip that has insufficient tension to keep on the waistline of pants and broke in the first 3 days, they should have included a quality lanyard to attach (it has one of those set-in loop openings) so the unit can be worn around the neck and rest at center-of-mass where a dosimeter should.
I could see this being used by someone getting imagining or other medical isotope applications, to personally track their doses.
For my use, and although I have not confirmed the accuracy (it does mesh with what background could be for my location and elevation), I would recommend. Especially given it doesn't break the bank and doesn't devour batteries.
Easy to use and easy to carry over due to form factor.
At the same time -- you will find it hard to use in low lights . When you hike or cave exploring forcing you to use light.

Cooles ding wollte sowas schon immer mal haben. Es misst die aktuelle Strahlung in µS/h, die CPMs und die aufgenommene Dosis in µS und kann dadurch auch als digitales Dosimeter benutzt werden. Die Größe ist schön klein, so dass man es leicht überall mit hin nehmen kann und auch die angebotene Software ist gut Strukturiert und bietet neben der Möglichkeit auch alle Einstellungen auf dem Gerät vorzunehmen und die Messwerte Aufzuzeichnen auch Informationen ab wann Strahlung gefährlich wird. Ich bin fast rundum Zufrieden. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass das Gehäuse etwas Billig verarbeitet wirkt.
^^ Batterie GP Super (AAA Micro Zelle) Sehr gut würde ich sagen!
Dabei gesammelte Mikrosievert =720 mit Dosimeterfunktion.
Als immmer dabei Zähler Top! Kaufempfehlung : JA, wenn man keine hohen Werte messen möchte
Aber da, sollte man sich sowieso dann nicht länger aufhalten ^^ :-)
Wenn man sich das Gerät wirklich ausschließlich zur Dosismessung irgendwo zuhause hinlegen will, dann reicht die Verarbeitungsqualität allerdings. Wenn man es aber mal mitnehmen will, sollte man zu einem anderen Hersteller greifen.
De MB-57Fr., Personne Compétente en Radioprotection (PCR)
Bonjour,
Bel appareil portatif de détection de rayonnements ionisants gamma-X, avec paramétrage d'un seuil d'alerte en débit de dose. Encore faut t'il maîtriser les débits/h et dose cumulée en microsievert, par rapport aux limites légales, soit pour un travailleur non classé ou public à 160h/m un débit max de 0,5microSv/h, pour une dose mensuelle ne pouvant excéder 80microSv.
- L'appareil permet effectivement de pouvoir consulter une dose journalière/mensuelle avec une mise en service permanente du dosimètre, sans pour autant pouvoir mémoriser les débits de dose mesurés tous les 10sec ou plus à définir, en vue de pouvoir transférer et exploiter les données acquises à partir d'une application Quarta.
- Cette dernière application reste une base de données lorsque les acquisitions se font en temps réel, dosimètre connecté USB au logiciel de traitement. Il ne manque plus que la mémorisation des données en débit de dose à périodicité mensuelle, pour parfaire les fonctionnalités de ce bel équipement qui mériterait aussi d'être équipé d'un écran digital un peu plus grand, le tout certes pour un coût plus élevé.
- Cet appareil de base semi-professionnel d'un prix inférieur à 150€, ne peut se substituer à un dosimètre électronique type EPD/Mk2 à 1000€ hors borne interface et logiciel, ainsi qu'à des radiamètres RadEye B20 à 2500€ et AT1123 à 5000€, sans parler des stations de radioprotection Colibri à sondes externes...
Cependant, le dosimètre Radex One reste performant au regard de son prix et de la qualité. Produit à faire évoluer en consultation visuelle et principalement en mémorisation de données acquises. En utilisation public, je pense que ces améliorations pourraient conduire à un nouveau produit d'un coût de l'ordre de 200€, extrêmement compétitif par rapport aux équipements professionnels.
Je vous remercie de bien vouloir transmettre ce message au vendeur pour son fournisseur Quarta-Rad.
Mes salutations les meilleures,
MB-57Fr.
