Warranty and Information Disclaimer

This compact easy-to-use gaussmeter measures Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic fields generated by home wiring, appliances, office equipment, power lines, and all types of electrical and electronic equipment.

There are serious health effects, including cancer and depression, associated with living in ELF magnetic fields above 2 mG. For more information see EMF-FAQ.

The Swedish National Energy Department issued an advisory warning that schools, playgrounds, and day-care centers should not be sited near power lines, and that children should not be subjected for long periods every day to magnetic fields over 3.0 mG. This gaussmeter can check for this.

Customer testimonials:

“Thank you so much for allowing us to rent this ! We found very high EMFs right where one of our sons’ head was sleeping every night so we were able to move his bed ! Very interesting stuff and we had all our friends asking us to come test their house.”

-Diana, Aplington, IA

“I have to say that it was the best $39 I ever spent!.”

-Adam, Wakefield, MA

"I rented the gaussmeter to check the EMF of some radiant electric healing panels. The manufacturing company said that these heaters posed no problems. I first stood in the middle of the room while they were off and got 0.01 to 0.02 uT (less than 0.3 mG) reading-- normal and safe, according to the guidelines. Then I turned on the heating panel. Wow, the meter reading went up to 6 uT (60 mG) in the middle of the room. I moved the meter closer: a foot away from the heater elements, and the reading climbed even higher: to 12 uT (120 mG). No health risk? Guidelines say that long-term magnetic field exposure above 3 mG is a health hazard. Without the gaussmeter, we would never have known how high the exposure was."
