Rating of the TOP 20 best laser levels of 2020-2021

The best combination laser levels

The alignment of combined models when installed horizontally is carried out using a pendulum or electronic system. The vertical position of the device requires manual adjustment using a level built into the housing. A feature of combined type models is the ability to simultaneously display a combination of planes. This is ensured by a set of static and rotating lasers. The first ones are necessary for displaying unchanging lines and points on the surface. Levels of this class are divided into linear-rotary, linear-point and other types.

INSTRUMAX REDLINER 2V

The best inexpensive level for home among combined models. A low average price of 3,200 rubles with a high accuracy of 2 mm per 10 meters makes this device one of the most interesting on the market. The maximum operating range without a receiver in REDLINER 2V also does not disappoint - 20 m. With a target, this figure increases to 50 meters. The level is equipped with a rotating base, which allows you to precisely adjust the position of the beams in the room. The device can be powered by regular AA batteries and the same batteries, for which charging is provided in the kit.

There are not so few options in this price category, you can even choose a level with 5 planes, that is, 4 vertical and 1 horizontal, plus a full plumb line, well, first things first.

CONDTROL QB

The device has a highly protected case and very small dimensions; otherwise, this model has nothing special to boast about.

Leveling accuracy is only ± 0.5 mm/m, comparable to a simple building bubble level.

The beam sweep is no greater than that of the previous cheaper level, but unlike the Cube mini, the QB has a separate switching of planes to save batteries, and an operating mode at any arbitrary tilt without warning about dehorizontation.

Yes, it should be noted that the device comes with a small tripod with a rotating and tilting platform, which is probably why its cost is slightly higher than that of the laser levels listed above.

You can buy a level for up to 3000 rubles.

Main characteristics

FIRECORE F112R

Excellent laser level with professional precision and very bright lines. There is also a version with a green beam, we’ll look at it a little lower.

The device is of high quality in all respects, has a mode of operation with a locked compensator, and the ability to turn off an unnecessary plane.

The kit also comes with a convenient magnetic mount, more details about which can be found in the full review of the Firecore F112R, which will also contain a link to a reliable seller.

In Russia there is an outwardly identical analogue, which costs a little more, and it does not come with a magnetic wall mount, which is quite difficult to do without for diverse markings, and the main difference is that it has one emitter per projection of two lines (vertical and horizontal), this design is used in household levels to reduce the cost of the final cost of the product, and the brightness of such lines is lower. Firecore has separate emitters for each line.

Main characteristics

Video review of this model

PRACTICE
NL-2L
Household laser level for infrequent repair work. The device is extremely simple to operate, which is carried out with only one power switch.

Apart from two simultaneously burning planes, this level has nothing else, so there is no need to talk about any functionality.

The projection error is also at the household level and amounts to ± 0.5 mm/m, so the nl-2l practice sits firmly in the “home craftsman” category.

Again, this makes this model quite attractive.

Main characteristics

KAITIAN KT-M451B

Perhaps the most functional laser level, which is very inexpensive - only 2,600 rubles! For a detailed look at the model, see the detailed review.

The level projects 5! planes, plumb up and down, works with the receiver up to 50 meters in one direction in any lighting and has an inclined operating mode.

Plus, the level has a rotating base with graduation, for comfortable marking of the horizon and convenient design of any horizontal angle.

Another important fact is the ability of the device to operate from the mains in the absence of batteries, not to mention the separate switching of planes.

Of course, we can’t say that the build quality of this level is perfect, but we can’t call it disgusting either! You can see for yourself by watching the video review below...

The best line laser levels

Line builders are a more advanced version of levels. Essentially, they create a plane of a certain size. Using such levels, users can display straight lines on various surfaces within the range of the device. Linear solutions can be used both for construction tasks and for finishing work. The effective range of linear models is usually limited to 20 meters, but thanks to receivers it can be increased. For indoor work, it is convenient when the level can create both horizontal and vertical lines, as well as display a “cross” on the ceiling.
