### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Far better than the cheap alternatives
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in Canada on 29 February 2024*

I have two conductivity meters by Hanna, and while they appear to be more precise, they tend to drift over time.This refactometer is great. i had previously bought one of the $20-30 versions on Amazon, and threw it out almost immediately because it wasn't even in the ballpark.This is extremely fast, and extremely accurate. It's basically replaced the Hanna digital meter for me.
