Moisture detector is the same as moisture tester right? I am looking to buy a moisture detector/tester but I don't understand what the words mean! I've found one that ranges 6% -90% WDE-what does that mean? I am assuming it's the humidity level? Just want to make sure before I buy b/c it costs $187 and if it was the wrong one... :wall: Does that sound reasonable or should I just buy a cheapy one...if there is one out there? Just want something totally understandable and easy to use when it comes to using it. Never used one before, nor have I installed floating laminate wood floors! :D
