   I bought one a year ago and have been happy with the results the Gizmo has provided.  The only drawback seems to be light. (daylight)  Even with the cool, red glasses, the lines are hard to find in open daylight.  For inside work, there should be little problem.  

   good luck

   A couple of months ago I bought a Robotoolz 5 beam unit to install a frameless shower door.  One of the best $200 I've spent.  I use the thing all the time.  Most of my work is inside so brightness isn't a problem.  When I use it outside I try to schedule setup at times of indirect sunlight.  If it's bright outside it takes longer to find the mark.  I wouldn't be without one.

   I like the Gizmo because of the lines, both the plumb and level lines intersect each other. The Robovector however only has points but a plumb point that intersects the other 4 beams.

   Thanks for the info. Both seem to have good visibility indorrs. The Gizmo is more expensive. I can buy the  Robovector at Home Depot for $200 but can't get the Gizmo cheap.

   They still need to be checked occasionally.  I bought a Robolaser, the one that spins as you direct it for level only, checked it one time, it was off 18" in 125 feet, great to run drain lines.  Sent it back in and had it recalibrated for free, working great again.  The point is, periodically double check them.
