EMF Meter Comparison (ED88T, ED78S, Trifield 100XE)

After searching for the right EMF meter for my home, I decided to buy the Cornet ED88T. On this post you will find why.

These are four types of EMFs that you want to measure in areas where you spend a significant amount of time:

1. Microwave Radiation
   • Sources: wireless technology like Wi-Fi routers, cell towers, cordless phones and “smart” meters
2. Magnetic Fields
   • Sources: power lines, improper home wiring and appliances
   • Health: They decrease the immune system and are known to be carcinogenic³
3. Electric Fields
   • Sources: unshielded electrical wiring
   • Health: They rob you of a good night’s sleep³
4. Dirty Electricity
   • DE are the frequencies that travel on your home wiring from things like solar power inverters, florescent lighting, dimmer switches and wireless “smart” meters)

EMF type	Cornet ED88T	Cornet ED78S	Trifield 100XE
Microwave Radiation	Yes	Yes	Yes, but not accurate2
Magnetic Fields	Yes	Yes	Yes
Electric Fields	Yes, but the scale is not ideal1	No	Yes, but the scale is not ideal2
Dirty Electricity	No	No	No

Once you have the ED88T, you can watch this video to learn how to use it and you’ll probably wonder what the safe maximums are for all the readings:

EMF type	Safe Max3	Safe Max in Cornet ED88T screen readings
Microwave Radiation	100 (day) 10 (sleep) microWatts/squared meters (uW/m2)	0.1000(day), 0.0100 (sleep) miliWatts/squared meters (mW/m2)
Magnetic Fields	1.0 milliGauss (mG)	00.10 microTesla (uT)
Electric Fields	Less than 10 V/m	0010. V/M
Dirty Electricity	25-50 Graham-Stetzer Units	—

Here are some of the readings I’ve collected.
