I used the Bosch BLAZE 400FT Outdoor Laser that I ordered from Home Depot. The batteries were loose in the box and they worked for approximately 4 days before they died. I am very disappointed as I expected the device to be new and unused. Home Depot should issue me a steep discount for sending a used product. However, the BLAZE is working as expected. I have not explored the advanced features yet. I will post an update in the future. Buyer Beware of the bait and switch.

Battery depleted while not in use.
The product works great when the battery is fully charged. However, the biggest issue is when not being utilized the product drains the battery. I thought it was an issue with using standard AA batteries. So, I purchased the rechargeable battery back for this unit. However, even when not being used the battery will still go down to zero. This means when I need it I have to charge it every time. Or remember to keep it plugged in all the time. It's not very useful in this regard.

Hi! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We apologize that the battery in the laser was not working as expected. If the laser is in real time mode, the unit will continually be taking measurements which can deplete battery life sooner than if the laser is left in length or other modes which require you to press the measure button before a measurement is taken. Please contact us to discuss the available options for you. Please email us at bosch.tools@us.bosch.com with pictures of the battery and pictures of the original receipt, or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.

    love the look, can’t trust the results
    I am usually a fan of Bosch and this little device looks and feels nice to use but i usedit to measure my kitchen for countertops and cabinets and after checking the math and remeasuring several times i finally took out the old school ruler and confirmed the laser was about 5 inches over on every measurement. I laid it on flat surfaces and still same result. Unless there is something I’m missing, this will be an item i need to return.

    Hi! The laser has a measuring range of 6 in.–165 ft.; the size of the laser itself is deducted from the measurement, which is why it is about 5 in over. Please take this into consideration. For further assistance, you may email us at bosch.tools@us.bosch.com or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.

        Death Loop
        When I turn it on, it runs through the setup program. The progress bar goes all the way to the end and starts over again and just sits there repeating the loop.

          Straightforward UI. Performance is probably fine for indoors. I found its max range outside/moderate sun is only ~70', and of course the aiming dot quickly gets washed out. Basically useless for my outdoors application. Promptly returned it.

          The only laser I can use outdoors during daytime

          Don’t bother
          I really had high hopes for this tool, but here is my honest review- If an ant farts within a 3 mile radius your measurements will be off … by a lot. If you blink your measurements will be off. If there is any natural sunlight shining even remotely close by, your measurements will be off. Hellen Keller could eyeball it and provide a more accurate measurement than this tool.

            I bought this because I thought the MeasureOn app would make it worth while. I was wrong, the app is terrible. I’m thinking about returning this item.

            Yo! I needed to figure out how far away something was. After a few minutes with my new Bosch BLAZE 400 ft Outdoor Laser Distance Tape Measuring Tool with Bluetooth and Camera Viewfinder, I totally figured it out. Amazing! 10/10 Would recommend!

            the Bosch GLM165-22 worked for a few weeks perfectly until all of a sudden, it would not turn on. I replaced batteries twice, but still nothing.
