Are you sure it was the same meter?I'm thinking I'd read Amazon reviews on that model, and they weren't all that encouraging. Of course, you gotta assume a decent percentage of them were written by complete idiots. As much as I feel dirty about doing it, I just broke down and ordered an Apera PH20 meter. For $25, what the hell.
Fairly sure. As much as I tell myself I don't really need one, I kinda drool over the nifty 5-in-1 meters, so it stuck somewhere in my mind. Any single product typically has numerous listings from various vendors. Funnily enough, it's not unusual for them to have broadly varying product ratings. It was a while back and I got the impression is was a brand new model. Maybe early models had some kinks to work out still? Or, hell, maybe I do smoke entirely too much weed.Are you sure it was the same meter?

I guess bundling something with a buffer solution kit would technically make it a different product.That's not how Amazon works, at least not for the last several years. If the product is the same and the vendor is different, they share the same ratings because it's the product that is being rated and not the vendor (vendor ratings are elsewhere).
Are these different products? They have different ratings.GH trio: $35.89 from Granite Supply: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09M942WYB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AQ9IO7SMV7BGN&th=1

Point being, the initial statement that you quoted wasn't inaccurate - the same products can have multiple listings with different ratings.
I'm not the one dealing out absolutes. You made an explicit statement, I refuted it. I didn't come out jumping on imaginary gotcha moments - you did. Guess "I was wrong" is just impossible for some people to ever say out loud.
Fair enough.Will you accept, "I was partially wrong" as were you, or no?
Fair enough.
Just like the swatch needs good lighting when looking at litmus results.Been using just the drops for a few years now. Just something about subjective test results that I'm not really in love with. It's like I don't quite trust myself to interpret whether there's just the slightest hint of orange, or if it's still just piss yellow. I seem to have some odd mental block with differentiating between slight color variations, going all the way back to my time setting color on printing presses.
I've found the idea range is as effective as a specific number. Between 5.7 and 6.4, or yellow with a touch of orange to a touch of green works for me.Just like the swatch needs good lighting when looking at litmus results.
