Anyone Own/Use BlueLab Combo Meter

Has anyone ever used a BlueLab Combo Meter?



I am having to replace my $80 Oakton pH meter after only 9 months. My PPM meter is cheap, and I don't really trust it, nor expect it to last that long. Although I didn't originally do it, I much rather buy once and buy right. Going through an $80 meter each year is going to get expensive quick. Are the BlueLabs worth the $220+ price tag? A local grow shop has one for $204.00, and I was thinking of picking it up. Is it a quality product? Is it built well, is it accurate, does it last as long as they claim?

I grow with an RDWC, so I have to stay on top of my pH. So I am ready to buy a proper piece of equipment that is going to do the job and last. If the blue lab combo meter is not of high quality please recommend something from a different manufacturer that is. I need it to be portable, NOT a continuous monitor. It needs to read pH, PPM, and Temp.

I will try to +rep anyone who helps. Thank you guys and girls.

I dont have one but my freind/mentor does and he swears it the best. after many meters he sprung for one of these and hasnt had a complaint. although im sure not everone has had a great experince with it. hope this helps.

i bought a used 1 from an aquarium shop over a year ago, i checked the calibration for the first time in months last week. it was still dead on. checkthe aquarium shops around your neighborhood, i got mine for 25 bucks.
