Everyone knows these things are pretty useful for soil grows and downright indispensable for hydro. And most everyone knows that there are good ones and cheap ones - and that you can't tell the difference by looking at the price.
I have seen various meters advertised from $39 to well over $1500. Having used a few years ago (sorry, can't remember the brands/models) I recall paying too much and having problems with several not holding their calibrations or just plain breaking down.
Could I get a few - or a lot of - people to review some for me? I bet there'd be about 10 or 15 thousand other people who'd also benefit greatly from your knowledge & experiences.
Good reviews would contain information such as price, power (ac or dc and if the latter, what type of batteries & how long do they last), ease of use, ease of calibration, accuracy, how long they last before needing recalibrated, how long the probes last, are the probes replaceable (if so, what do they cost), what kind of "business end" on the probe, and anything else you can think of.
I am most interested right now in getting a set (or a combo meter) that is cheap and that will hold up for a year of daily use.
But I would also be interested in reading about higher quality meters and even the bench-style and "constant-use" types that have probes designed to be in the solution 24/7. I just won't be able to actually use the info for a year or so lol.
