This meter is easy to calibrate, and the results appear accurate and instantaneous. Just what I needed. The product is well made.
I will no longer kill valuable trees by overwatering. This meter is perfect in as much as I can't lift a 13-20 gal pot to determine water needs.
My wife used our first meter over and over and loved it so when she broke it by dropping it we immediately bought a replacement which she loves as much as the first one. Hopefully she won't drop this one because they are not cheap but then the best seldom is.
It works as advertised. It is a heavy duty product and is exactly what I needed to check for deep watering of trees and shrubs.
This moisture meter has saved me time and in the long run money on production in the field, helping me and my crews narrow down the ones that need it and the ones that don’t. There’s no second guessing its accuracy as long as you know what to look for. The only complaint is the battery durability. They should like most products today move to a 2-5 year lithium ion battery that will stand the test of time, then again some don’t even know there is a battery in the meter. The lens that indicates the moisture level in the soil is very delicate so stress that to your crews or invest in crazy glue.
