Five Star Reviews: | 46% Works great for the price August 1, 2017 Helped me save bushes from dying on a new landscape in harsh desert environment PH October 31, 2016 Yes this seems to work very well and it's really helped us cuz we have all different kinds of flowers that need different pH levels and it's helping us maintain the soil pH handy device June 11, 2015 this wonderful tool is going to help me not overwater my poor plants. It will also tell me about sunlight and PH of the soil. use as a guide for houseplants April 4, 2015 I have a tendency to over water houseplants and thought this might help. It does. My plants seem to be doing better. | 67% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 15% so I think it's working great. It takes alot of hte guess work out ... March 12, 2016 I don't have a control, or calibrartion test to compare it too, but I have placed it in different locations in the soil, under different leaves, etc and the readings change accordingly, so I think it's working great. It takes alot of hte guess work out of when to water. Does what it's supposed to September 28, 2015 It gives good readings and it hasn't broken yet. I'm very surprised because it was so cheap, but it was actually built well and I'm very impressed. It feels a little flimsy, but I've been using it on all my plants and it's doing a fine job. Good to know June 1, 2015 Very good metering system. Do follow the directions and clean the probes after use. I found holding the probes and pushing them easily into the soil prevents problems with the unit. I have not confirmed the accuracy of the readings. I would recommend this to my friends. | 20% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% good deal June 29, 2015 works fine since I tend to overwater. Solved that problem. not real confident in the ph meter only because of the price. Three Stars June 16, 2015 I wish the directions would have been clearer, but other than that it works well. Not a great product but I'm guessing the measurements are roughly accurate April 21, 2015 It seems to do a decent job measuring moisture and sunlight. However the measurement for pH is a little inconsistent. Not a great product but I'm guessing the measurements are roughly accurate. | 6% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 16% Two Stars May 23, 2016 It gives the same reading no matter where I put it so I'm not sure if it really works. Works for light and most measurement. Soil PH? ... August 3, 2015 Works for light and moist measurement. Soil PH? Only works when poke it into a bag of animal manure or a bucket of liquid acid fertilizer. Never felt like I could trust this thing July 22, 2015 Never felt like I could trust this thing. I would cross check with another method and the pH would be way off. Light and moisture meters seemed to function alright. Try something else July 10, 2015 pH doesn't move and moisture meter remained 'moist' when immersed in water......light is measured between 0 and 2000. Sunlight pegs the meter, CFL at 6 inches barely registers. Worked Well -- for Two Days April 11, 2015 The product worked well with the PH matching another test method exactly. The moisture indicator showedthat my "finger test" was not very useful after all. The light meter says my plants are getting plenty of light.Two days later, none of the functions worked at all. I'll be returning this soon.Update: I did return this and Amazon did reimburse me. | 1% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 19% This gimmick is trash complete QS9000 FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH U.S. STANDARDS February 25, 2016 This thing is useless mine doesn't work period not on light nor ph and why would i check just the the ph of my soil i need to see ph of water too. That didn't seem clear to me i put in my dirt just after watering and needle never moved. I had it right under my stovevlight needle never moved. Received 2 of them and neither worked January 7, 2016 I had intended to purchase only a moisture meter but saw this 3 in 1 tool that included light and pH measurements. It didn't cost much more than the moisture meter so I figured that it was a good deal. Unfortunately, none of the 3 functions worked. Amazon has an excellent return policy so getting a replacement was easy. The replacement registered the moisture but was completely dead for both the sunlight and pH measurements. I ended up sending it back for a refund and purchasing separate tools to measure sunlight and pH. Since I received 2 of these and neither of them worked as intended, I would say that's a pretty good indication that the overall quality of this product is bad. While it's a good idea, it's definitely not a good product regardless of the price. Measures water properly, but not what I needed. ... August 1, 2015 Measures water properly, but not what I needed. I think the pH scale may be reversed, but again, not accurate. Sent it back. The one I got has a malfunctioning pH reader, ... July 30, 2015 The one I got has a malfunctioning pH reader, which confused the hell out of me when I first dealt with it. Worthless ph meter April 18, 2015 I bought the meter to tell me the ph of the soil. I pot it in soil I had lab tested by NC State. The correct reading on the soil was 4.7. This meter never changed from 7.2 no matter where I put it. Plant compost sand it gave the same reading. Save your money buy one that works | 6% There are no reviews yet |
