🌪️ Elevate Your Airflow Game with Precision and Style!
The Bonvoisin CFM/CMM Anemometer is a handheld device designed for HVAC professionals, measuring air velocity, airflow, and temperature with precision. It features a backlit LCD display, a 1.5m long probe, and the ability to record and export data, making it an essential tool for accurate airflow analysis.

Nice but there are some issues
This product can show velocity and airflow as well as temperature (although I'm not sure if it's dewpoint, wet bulb or regular). I'm not sure where the temperature sensor is. You can have it show you min, max, avg results, and one button switches you from vel. to AF. When you switch, however, anything you had set is erased, so you'll need to change settings again. It has a separate button to input the 2D (LxW) of the area for airflow, but not 3D unfortunately. The vane's blades are mounted at a 45 degree angle and are completely flat, so you can use either side of the vane to take readings. The vane is mounted on a 150mm telescoping tube so you'll need both hands to operate this, use something like a tripod, or put the meter down. The cable for it runs through the middle of the tube, sliding through as you extend it. You can't apply a magnet to the back unless you glue it in place as there are no ferrous materials on the back. You can also send the results to your computer with the included software. It comes with 4 AAA batteries and a protective rubber "sleeve", a USB cable to connect the meter to your computer, a mini-CD with the software, and instructions, all inside a hardshell carrying case.Unfortunately, there are some shortcomings.1) I noticed that when I didn't use max/min, I would see higher readings than was shown when max was on.2) I also noticed that readings were not consistent even though the fan speed was set to max or min.3) The temperature sensor registered an increase in temperature as I was measuring the fan. Once the speed was high enough, it started to cool off. This, to me, seems to suggest that the temperature sensor is placed in an area of friction within the vane assembly, or it could just be registering the fan's increase in temperature due to friction. I tried asking Bonvoisin on here, but they didn't understand my question.4) When the velocity/AF was very low, the blades couldn't pick up the air movement because they are flat and at a 45-degree angle. If the blades had been shaped to capture air with a concavity, that probably wouldn't have happened.5) Although it's much better at picking up low readings than the ProtMex I tried, it still lacks the degree of sensitivity needed to test PC fans and, if you're measuring breezes, you might find it a bit challenging, too.6) I think the vane is not mounted directly to a motor but, rather, is mounted on the hub with, possibly, bearings. I could hear a slight noise as it spun.7) Changes in readings are delayed by a few seconds, which makes it hard to quickly find the strongest air current, unlike the ProtMex.8) If you don't know where the strongest air current is, you'll have to keep moving the head a bit, waiting a few seconds until the reading stabilizes, and then move again until you find what you're looking for. This can eat up a substantial amount of time, even in a very small area like my wind tunnel.9) It is not good at measuring wind from a distance of even 120mm if the velocity is very low because of the vane design.

Excellent product
Great product, I'd highly recommend!

Sensitive
In a dead air room, barely moving the fan forward or backward slowly would cause it to spin and put out a reading of .055m/s. Now that's sensitive.The device is 2 pieces so you gotta hold it with 2 hands which some may like and some might not. The fan does not have any way to hold it in place like a tripod mount but the device itself has one. I would've preferred if the fan had any kind of mount.The temperature reacts really, really slowly. I put it behind my computer which is pumping out pure heat. After about 10 seconds the reading only changed by .5 degrees Fahrenheit. It would probably take a few minutes for the temperature to read true.

Showed us how weak our AC was
Since last summer I swore our AC was working worse than it did before. When I got this, I was able to see just how poor the air power was and called up someone to help and now my family and I can cool down efficiently and maintain a good air flow with regular check ups of the vents.

Useful air flow measurement tool
Essential tool for air flow balancing on your home HVAC, car HVAC, computer cooling fans etc. Well made for professional use, and in an unrelated completely random thought I now know how fast my sneezes travel.

Useful Handheld Anemometer
I needed an anemometer to measure various airflows around the house. This device was up to the task. I haven't figured out all of its features yet. But fortunately, it does have the basic functions that I needed to measure the airflow of my fans. I liked the lighted display which was easy to read. It came with a nice case for portability and protection

The Accurate wind speed gauge
The wind speed gauge is made well. The unit comes in a hard case for easy storage. The unit measures wind speed and temperature. The directions are very helpful for this unit. I would recommend this wind speed gauge

Works great!
Hubby says this is a very nice set and easy to use. Comes with it's own case to keep it in and organized. Comes with batteries and all the things you need to charge it also. Really nice and quality set.
