Soil Test Kit 4-In-1 Soil Tester for Moisture, Soil pH, Sunlight, Temperature, High Accurate LCD Digital Dispaly, Soil Moisture meter Gardening Tools for Yard, Indoor & Outdoor Plants(Include battery)

Arrived undamaged and decently fast and packaged decently. This Product does not automatically shut its self down so battery dies overnight, The Built-in light meter is useless If you're not going to add Lux of Lumens in a digital readout why even bother. Temp is off my 6 degrees F and the PH function is also pretty lame and can't be trusted .. Ontop of not turning out to work properly my meter after a few uses doesn't power on at all now so totally broken such i waste of money i had to try hopefully this will help the next person so they dont make the same mistake i did

I bought this meter primarily to monitor the pH and soil moisture of the garden soil where I want to grow blueberries. Blueberries require an acidic soil, so I need to add sulfur and monitor the pH change. Blueberries are also intolerant of dry soils, so I need to measure soil moisture at the root level. I selected this unit because it displays pH with a resolution of 0.1 units and has a fairly long probe. All the other meters I looked at used analog meters with closely spaced markings that appeared to be readable to a resolution of only about 0.25 pH units. I have no way to verify the accuracy of this meter, but clearly low resolution makes high accuracy impossible. This meter settled to its final display value within 10 or 20 seconds, rather than "up to 10 minutes" as called out for the analog meters.However, I found that the digital display is difficult to read when viewed from above. If I insert the probe into the ground vertically, I cannot read the display unless I lay on my belly and look at it straight on. If I insert it into the ground at a 45 degree angle then the display is readable without laying on my belly. But then I cannot sense pH and moisture to as great a depth as I would like.Also, the light and moisture readouts are not consistent. Moisture readouts are DRY+, DRY, NOR, WET, and WET+ in order of increasing moisture. Light readouts are LOW-, LOW, LOW+, NOR-, NOR, NOR+, HGH-, HGH, and HGH+ in order of increasing light levels. The confusion arises because for moisture readings DRY+ indicates less moisture than DRY but for light readings LOW+ indicates more light than LOW.For a product being sold in the USA it is a minor annoyance that this meter always turns on with temperature units of degrees C rather than degrees F. It should default to degrees F or turn on using the same temperature units that were selected when it turned off. The temperature readout agreed with another thermometer I have to within one degree F at room temperature. I could never get the light display to show LOW- even in an almost totally dark room.I plan to keep this meter because of its high resolution (and hopefully high accuracy) pH display. But it would benefit greatly from some easily implemented improvements as described above.

I bought this to replace the cheap popular model that I bought earlier. I like the ease of use and digital readout.

Works good.

Garbage. Stopped working within a few weeks

Particularly for moist level.

Three functions seem to work except for the moister censor. It seems to be stuck on the Dry setting. Placing it in a can of water show DRY! Now I have to decide if I want to go through the hassle of returning it or just eating the cost?

Works great
