Milwaukee pH600 meter- Yes or No?

[Agoblue97]

Looking to step up from my liquid drops to a digital pH meter. I know there are others out there that are higher quality (Oakton, Hanna, and others), but is this a decent and reliable meter? Looking around and $20 for a Milwaukee as opposed to $60-$70 for and Oakton sounds a little better to my pocketbook. However, if the Milwaukee is a total piece of crap then there is no need to even think about buying it. If anyone has some first hand knowledge of the meter that'd be awesome, or if someone has heard anything about it (good or bad) that would also be appreciated.:thumbsup:

I have one and I like it. I calibrate it about once a month.
The farthest it has ever been off was 0.1.
I feel it's a good buy for the price. :thumbsup:

I use one too, cant really beat the price and its accurate...I leave the calibration solution in a cup and cover it w/ some foil, I give a quick test w/ this and its usually spot on.

Thanks for the help everyone. Looks like that'll be my next purchase. I've searched the forums for mention of it, and seems like everyone has had pretty good success with them. I was just a little skeptical about it because of price and I saw a couple of reviews that people said they were having problems with the calibration. The calibration problems were probably operator error if every1 else says they aren't too bad. Once again thanks for the help.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
