Pretty good design. But I needed to learn some tricks to use it effectively.

[See update at bottom; I learned a bit more after I wrote the first part of the review, with improved results] First let me say that I've used one of the older circuit finders that I got about 15 years ago. This was the kind with a sensitivity knob that you can adjust. I decided to buy a new one because I liked a lot of what I saw in this design. (and also because I couldn't find my old one...) This model has a lot of things going for it: * Nice design that allows both pieces to be plugged together so it's easy to carry in a pouch or toolbox. * Magnetic mounts on the main unit allow it to snap right onto the breaker panel * Sender unit does double-duty as a circuit tester to confirm good ground/neutral/hot wiring, plus, a GFCI test button. This in itself is a great thing everybody should have -- you'd probably pay about $10 for something like separately. Since you'd normally have this in your electrical tool kit anyway, it seemed like a great idea to combine this function into the sender unit. All this is great, but.. as a circuit finder I couldn't make this work well. The problem was also noted by another reviewer: the detector is TOO SENSITIVE and doesn't have any way to adjust this. It has a bar graph indicator and beeper, which would be great to help you localize the target breaker. The problem is that this system gives me a maxed-out reading over almost all my breakers! I understand that these things are hard to use and it takes some fiddling to get used to it (see other Amazon reviews for every other breaker finder for clear evidence of this.) My old one with the manual adjustment was difficult to figure out -- at first, you're just glad to find the signal. Then as you try to localize the breaker, you gradually turn down the knob to reduce the sensitivity. Eventually you get it to the point where you are in the right sensitivity to focus on exactly the right breaker. Yes, it does help if you can remove the metal panel over the breakers -- this isn't always essential but it does help. The problem with this model is that the bar graph indicator just zips right up to the max reading when I am within about 6" of the circuit in question. Since you don't have any way to turn down the sensitivity, all you can do is hold the "wand" further away, but that defeats the purpose of being able to focus in on the target you are trying to find. In my opinion this makes this very nice-looking tool pretty-much useless, except for the nice sender unit which doubles as a circuit tester. I would say I understand the limits of how these work and the ONLY way to really be sure you find the right circuit is to turn off the breaker, and if you get the right one, the signal will stop (because you've cut off the power to the sender). That is the way these work. The best you can hope is that you get "close" to the breaker in question. It still might take a few tries. I could do that with my old model by tweaking the sensitivity. But with this model it seems I'm going to have to turn off every breaker until I find it -- which kind-of defeats the whole elegant purpose of this model to begin with. This is the first day I got it and I was so excited to try it, but unfortunately I'm at a loss unless I can figure out that I'm doing something wrong. I will give it some more tries over the next few days and update the review if I learn anything new. [UPDATE 2 days later] I have revised my rating from a "2" to a "4." I tried it again and learned a few more things about it. It seems that with some learning and effort, this is a pretty good tool. (As I noted in my comments above, ALL breaker finders are difficult to learn to use correctly -- this one just works a bit differently and so there are new "tricks" to using this particular model). Here is what I learned: As you get a strong signal, the bar graph goes up and the tone (kind of a noisy high-pitched tone) gets louder. The key info is that the sender sends a tone, but it has a "beep beep beep" sound mixed in with the other noise. Most of all, I found that there were other things in my house that were sending it a signal that got it confused. I found that over several different parts of my breaker panel, I got a the noise tone and the bar graph went up. However, in ONE of those locations, I could hear a faint "beep beep beep" sound mixed in with the other noise. In the other parts that gave me a signal, I did not hear the "repeating beep." So the key to using this is to listen carefully for the repeating beep sound. And of course, when you isolate the breaker you think it is, turn it off, and that tone should stop. That means you found the right breaker. In my case, other things in my house (I don't know what, but like many houses, I have many little electronic devices) sent it a signal that also gave it a "false reasding." The key is that those tones didn't have the "beep beep beep" component. [Space history fans might think of this kind-of like listening for Sputnik] I would say if you are using this in new construction (i.e. after wiring a new house that is still vacant), this unit would probably work much better because there be no other electrical devices to give it false signals. You also have to be very careful about how you orient the wand and move it over the breakers, and what part of the breaker you move it over. (i.e. the center by the lever, or to the left, or to the right, etc.) Of course there are many kinds of breakers so this will vary based on your equipment, and you have to experiment to find what works best. I would note that I have an older style of breaker (often called "Zinsco") that are very close together (each lever is about 1/4" -- that's pretty small.) Many newer panels use breakers with larger spacing and that might make it easier for some people. Anyway now that I've figured out these three rules, I'm much happier with the unit, and have moved the rating to a "4" * The sender tone has a "beep beep beep" element, though it can be hard to distinguish from the background noise. * Other things in your house might give it a false reading, but if you listen carefully, the false tones will NOT have the "beep" component. * It's very important how you hold the sensor wand, and you have to experiment with this based on your type of breaker. (This last rule is well-documented in the instructions, but the first two items I had to learn the "hard way.")

Would have better results by turning off individual circuit breakers and then ...

Problems with FedEx delivery. May work with Chinese circuits where it is made. Gives multiple hits on circuit breakers. Would have better results by turning off individual circuit breakers and then walk back to see if it's off. Save your money....!!! 11/11/2015: It’s a stormy day in Oregon and there is not much I can do on our wet 70 acres. I went on the internet and tried to find more information on the CS61200. Some reviews were positive and some were negative. I read some suggestions on how to use the unit and tried it again. Following the manufacturer’s instructions did not give me good results. There were lots of very high indications on multiple breakers which gave both high LED and tone readings. I tried using the detector wand in positions that differed from the instructions with some slightly better results. Starting with the LED light with only the green light illuminated and the wand 6-inches perpendicular to the breaker being checked I moved the wand toward the breaker. This gave slightly better results in discriminating between adjacent breakers. Holding the CS61200 wand with the long head in a position parallel to the breaker sometimes helped a little. The electrical panels I checked had two different types of breakers. Some had a single switch in the ¾-inch wide breaker unit. These tested with somewhat better results. Others had double switches in the ¾-inch wide breaker. It seems impossible to get a good reading with this type of breaker. I am a retired civil engineer and I worked for 30 years with various state, city and county building departments. I have had numerous opportunities to observe various electrical installations. I am not an expert in electronics. In our area it is common practice to run electrical wires parallel to one another. This seems to be especially true near the electrical panel. OK... now for my speculation: The part of the CS61200 that you plug into the wall outlet sends a signal down the wire to the breaker in the electrical panel. Where the wires run parallel to one another a signal is generated in the adjacent wire. (Cross-talk?) This would give multiple false readings at the breakers. Most of the electrical panels I have seen are poorly labeled. Throwing breaker switches and hoping for the best in locating a circuit works but it means restarting clocks, computers, etc..., which is a pain in the XXX! I wanted the unit to better label our electrical panels to avoid this problem. If you have a large discretionary income, buy the CS1200, but be prepared to be frustrated. 10:41 AM 11/12/2015 Sperry Tech Support e-mail: Good morning! You are right, you’re getting interference / cross talk and it’s confusing to the tester. There isn’t any way to fix it.

Works as expected

I kept reading bad reviews on this item. It actually discouraged me from purchasing it. What I needed to do at this certain house was trace all circuits to their perspective breaker. I tried using other methods and it took me for ever. The next time such a job was to be done again, I purchased it. Glad I did. It worked just as in some videos on YouTube showed. I have to say it was very fast tracing the circuits with this. You just have to know how to use it and have knowledge of what you're doing. The outlet tester was a plus! One f these alone is about 15-25$ so getting both tools for about 40$ was cool. Anyone wanting to purchase this item and paying too much attention to negative reviews will only regret not purchasing it and trying it out for themselves. Tools is very rugged also... One problem I did find, is that the outlet tester has the illustration of the lights on the bottom. So you would have to learn what the codes are if you don't know them so you don't find yourself looking under once plugged in. Other than that tool works great!

Useful in theory, but not so much in practice

The (over) sensitivity of the device severely limits its utility - too many false positives. I watched the YouTube video on how to operate the device and I still found it to be too sensitive to be particularly useful. My other complaint is that the power switch is too easily inadvertently engaged, thus killing the 9 Volt battery. However, a previous review complains about the absence of polarity indicators for said 9 Volt battery - but what that reviewer failed to realize is that the slots for the terminals are different widths and so there is only one way to insert the battery. The outlet tester works as expected, but if that was the only function that I wanted, I would have gone with a tester that provides a quantitative assessment of the connections, not simply ON versus OFF.

Maybe the best designed tool of it's kind available.

I use this device professionally and though I may one day wish to have one with greater sensitivity and accurracy I won't regret buying this one.

All of the above.

Works poorly

You plug the signal emitter into a wall outlet, and when you go to the panel, it buzzes for half of all the circuits! I guess, I could keep turning them off, one-by-one, and when the sound stops, I've found the right circuit... but that's not really the point. It shouldn't work like that, it should be more accurate. I will be returning it. Don't buy this item, try a different one.

I did the job.

It took a bit of getting used to but it did the job and found the breaker I was looking for...beats short circuiting the outlet and seeking a tripped breaker as I sometimes did in frustration before.
