This meter is the best I have used to date. It was an easy one step calibration (came spot on but I ran the process anyway) with the included solution. The meter is compact and works well with my containers. Best part is how fast and stable the readings have been. Other meters seemed to take minutes before they would stabilize but this one has a stable reading in a few seconds. Inspires great confidence and seems accurate. Combine all that with the fact the glass bulb is caged to protect it and that the probe is replaceable rounds it out.
I do recommend getting some extra 7ph calibration liquid. You can get larger bottles of it for around $10 usd.
I really like that the probe itself is easily replaced. I bought an extra one after a few weeks of use, just because I knew this was going to be my go-to ph tester from now on and I like to have a backup probe just in case. I haven’t needed it and probably won’t for a while, but for less than $25 usd, it’s worth having an extra probe.
I also really like that the manufacturer includes a total of four batteries. That’s just a nice little touch that tells me they actually care about their product, and not just their bottom line. They didn’t have to do that- they’d sell just as many without extra batteries. But they’re not common like AAA.. So having extras is very nice! (They’re also not rare batteries, you can get them at most box stores.. Usually sold as key fob batteries).
Very pleased with this purchase.
I definitely do NOT recommend
This is for sure a cut above the lower priced ones you can get on ebay (for as little as $10!). It has 1 point calibration, which is the main reason I got it. It requires calibration with at least every 2nd usage, but it's a very quick and easy affair to do so. I find readings tends to vary by 0.1-0.2 pH, especially in liquids that are 'frothy' at all (I use this for fruit preserves production mostly). I usually take 5 or 6 readings and go with the one that turns up the most.
These are sensitive instruments, so they should not be treated roughly. That being said, it's a pretty durable little unit. It fits easily into a short test tube, but not a longer one. The case is awesome and it comes with a small supply of requisite fluids.
All things said, I'm in love with this unit. I think it compares favorably with the more expensive Hanna and Oakton meters I've had in the past. The accuracy seems to be on par with any other meter less than $100.
Update: Product is working great, i check the ph just to be sure but the past 5 times ive used it it has been on point. Huge difference between a $15 ph pen and this one. I was searching for a product like this for awhile and read all types of reviews, i usually go to the bad ones to see what exactly people are having problems with, i have not expierenced any of what the negative reviews talked about. If you are doing the same thing i was and looking at 10 different ph pens, look no further, i promise this one is worth the money.
My older and cheaper pen tester was complicated to calibrate and not waterproof. It took me a month to verify it was reading correctly. The old pen would often need recalibration and instructuons were horrible. When any moisure gets inside the reading became unusable.
The Apera SX610 was good right out of the box. Single point calibration was simple and took under a minute to complete the process. The company provides advice on how long the buffer solution can be used, and how to care for the tip (which is replaceable and available on Amazon). Everything you need is provided in a rugged carrying case.
In application on our hot tub it worked exactly as advertised and exceeded all my expectations. Form, fit, and function are perfect.
A definite recommend!

qualité labo, avec la fiole pour étalonnage, plus fiole pour conserver la tête de mesure.
très précis, et très bien construit
Die Messgenauigkeit ist hoch. Ich habe das Teil nicht einmal kalibriert, nachdem es nach Erhalt sofort bei einer Prüflösung den richtigen Wert angezeigt hat. Die Genauigkeit ist auch sehr gut, die +/- 0,1 kann ich jedenfalls bei meinen Pufferlösungen bestätigen. Darüber hinaus ist das "Einsteckvolumen" durch die Formgebung klein. Dann Reinigung ich verwende fließendes Wasser und habe zum Teil sehr hochviskose Flüssigkeiten, die gut anhaften, dauert nur Sekunden um es abzuspülen und obwohl es Leitungswasser ist, beeinträchtigt es das Gerät nicht.
Ich bin zufrieden, wenn nicht gar begeistert. Die zweite Nachkommastelle hat man nicht, aber lieber ein Gerät mit nur einer das funktioniert, als ein Gerät was nicht funktioniert.
Ich kann gar nicht genug betonen wie wichtig es ist, Vertrauen in sein Meßinstrument zu haben. Ein Gerät wie mein pH-Meter davor, das öfter mal falsch anzeigt, weil die Kalibrierung verloren gegangen ist, kann einen wahnsinnig machen, weil man keiner Messung mehr vertrauen kann. Bei diesem Gerät hier hat man nach ein paar Messungen viel Vertrauen aufgebaut, daß bis jetzt noch nie enttäuscht wurde.
