The M-Cube's modular design promises to revolutionise measuring. Its ability to switch between different modules easily makes it a top-choice multi-function laser measure for professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

Design and build quality

Right out of the box, M-Cube impresses with its sleek and compact design. The build quality feels solid, and the modules' magnetic attachment system is intuitive and secure. Each module is designed to be lightweight, making it easy to handle during measurements.

The 00 Laser Measure module serves as the system's core. It features a sensitive touch screen with a big number display, making it easy to read measurements even in challenging lighting conditions. The joystick control on the 01 Smart Planner module feels responsive, allowing for easy, precise room captures.

00 Laser Measure Module

The M-Cube shines as a standalone laser measure in the 00 Laser Measure module. It boasts a fast laser rate of 10FPs, three times faster than the average laser measure in its price range. During my tests, I found the laser accurate to up to ±2mm precision, which is impressive for such a compact device.

The touchscreen interface is user-friendly, and the big number display makes it easy to read measurements at a glance. The 00 Laser Measure module delivers on its promise of speed and precision, setting a high standard for other laser measures.

01 Smart Planner Module

The Smart Planner module is excellent when it comes to efficiency. Joystick control for capturing entire rooms can be done faster and with better accuracy than traditional methods. The intuitive controls made me capture room dimensions with remarkable ease and precision.

The One-Tap button is a nice touch for quickly measuring edges and corners, while the extra battery pack ensures you won't run out of power mid-measurement. The Smart Planner module is excellent for making complex measurements feel effortless.

03 Bilateral Laser+ Module

The Bilateral Laser+ module offers dual functionality that adds versatility to the M-Cube system. The bilateral laser measurement feature is especially useful for large areas, allowing measurements to be taken quickly within three takes without moving the device.

The built-in M-Green line level is handy for alignment tasks like hanging pictures. During my tests, I found the green brighter than the typical red line levels, making alignment tasks much easier, although I wasn’t confident of its accuracy. I found it fiddly to balance on the tripod and get it to a zero value on the display, which should indicate it was level. My dedicated laser level has a built-in gyro that automatically levels, which is preferable to the manual levelling on the Hozo.

05 Scale Roller Module

The Scale Roller module offers excellent flexibility. It caters to various measurement needs with 93 built-in and infinite customisable scales. The cross-line projection feature adds another layer of precision, allowing for accurate measurements by aligning with a red cross line.

User experience

One of the things that impressed me the most about M-Cube is its user experience. The touchscreen interface is intuitive, and switching between modules is seamless, thanks to the magnetic attachment system. The device feels responsive, and the measurements appear quickly on the display.

Another strong point is the battery life, with each module featuring its power source. During my tests, I found that the batteries lasted longer than expected, even with frequent use.

Verdict

The M-Cube is a must-have tool for anyone with measurement needs. It's not just a laser measure; it's a modular measuring solution that adapts to your specific requirements. With M-Cube, you're not just buying a device but investing in a versatile and future-proof measuring system.

The only downside I found is the price, which might be steep for casual users. However, considering its features and performance, I believe M-Cube is worth the investment for anyone serious about accurate and efficient measuring.
