They're quite good at detecting that a wall is present. Things within the wall however, not so good.

I have a similar different branded model. Very hit and miss, but for £3, OK as a guide, especially electrics. Move it across a few times and mark either side of signal, but still cut power before drilling

Its good for locating wooden beams in ceiling but takes many pass overs to be 100% or just tap wall... Its no good for wires unless they are very close to the surface but it does work.

These are pretty good! You just have to adjust the sensitivity and it works fine
