Double beta decay experiments are reviewed and the results of the most sensitive of them are examined. Current half-life values for two neutrino double beta decay are presented together with the best available limits on neutrinoless double beta decay and decay with Majoron emission. The most promising next generation experiments with a Majorana-neutrino mass sensitivity of 0,01–0,1 eV are described.
