Old Reviews HM Digital PH-80

[GMan]

I know there is already a review of this meter, just wanted to add mine as I'm in the UK.

Brand of PH meter: HM Digital - PH-80

Measures: Liquids

Cost: £31

Link to where you bought it: amazon.co.uk - do a few searches, £31 was the cheapest I found, £82 the most expensive.

Positive Points: Digital calibration is straight forward, it comes with pH 7 test solution. Build quality is superb for the price. Been using it for 6 weeks, retested to check calibration and it didn't need it. Love the temperature compensation, this is really handy as I use it in my fish tanks as well.

Negative points: Being really picky here, takes a while to get a stable reading (15-20 seconds). Its got no belt clip, I used this a lot with my old meter to clip on to the side of the jug.

Value for Money Rating: * * * * *
1-5 Stars with 5 being Excellent and 1 being Rubbish.

Would you buy it again..?
It feels much better than the price tag suggests, as long as it lasts I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Good report! I'm going to get one when I can. I have the HM TDS-3 ppm meter and it has been great, no complaints at all.

I got a PPM/EC/TEMP meter that uses the same circuitry as HM, onl £15 and it's very good.

I am using the same ph pen, first time I am using a digital meter. It does it's job ok. I cannot compare to others but it is for sure better then the color bottle. My inexperienced opinion: it feels more cheeper then it is and I wouldn't buy it again, I'd rather get an 100 € BlueLab. Thous look legit.
