I purchased this meter for measuing the ripeness of bronze muscadines. I followed the instructions for zeroing the meter but it was already set perfectly.
Its easy to use the meter in the field. I tested it on some muscadines that I knew were not ripe and it showed a brix of 9 and the sour taste of the fruit confirmed that the brix was low. I cleaned the test plate with water and carefully wiped it dry and then tested some muscadines that felt, smelled and looked ripe. This brix was 15 which is exactly what the literature on this variety of muscadine said they should achieve when ripe. I did not check the meter accuracy with a hydrometer but the meter results matched the actual taste, 9 sour, 15 sweet.
The meter is easy to use, easy to clean, and appears accurate. It works well in bright and in low light. For me it was exactly what I wanted and was an excellent value. Shipping was very prompt and the packaging was secure.

Works well. I'd recommend it.
This thing is super cool. I've been using it to perfect sorbet and ice cream recipes and make sure they have a consistent, proper sugar content and come out with the proper texture.
