I bought mine used like new for $10 less than brand new. One of the batteries didn’t sit right and it was dead. Not too big of a deal, I just replace that dead one and the cover held it in place, even though it still didn’t seat in like the other two.Pros: I love the included users manual. Great information in there. The pH and moisture seemed accurate. It wasn’t stuck on 7 like other reviewers.Cons: I bought this because of its added temperature setting ability to test my compost pile heat. It only reads temperature up to 99°. Double digits only. I was disappointed to find that out.Day 3, the units numerical light was dimming. I know it was somewhat used so I tested the batteries when I first got it and the other two batteries tested good at 1.5 volts.Even though I saved $10 getting an opened box unit, it was still $5 more than my simple basic analog probe, and I’ll just be keeping the basic analog probe and use a kitchen thermometer for compost piles. I will have to return this item as it didn’t meet my expectations, or maybe my needs.

I have the 4-way digital analyzer. I have been using it for about 6 months and I don't find it reliable at all. I have scrubbed the probe according to directions and find that helps but the readings still aren't accurate. It doesn't give me light readings even with plants directly in front of a South facing window at noon (sun is facing directly into the window). Even if I wipe the light sensor, it still won't give me a light reading. It won't even give me a light reading outside with it pointing directly at the sun. The moisture meter isn't at all accurate and I find I am constantly reaching for my non-digital moisture meter. This thing will tell me Zero for a moisture reading yet the soil feels wet and my non-digital meter indicates the soil is wet. I am unsure of the accuracy of the ph reader but I do see it fluctuates as the probe sits in the soil. I find the ph reading fluctuates within the same range for all of my plants... I'm not sure what to make of that fluctuation. I find the temperature also fluctuates within a few degrees and I never get a single reading for any plant. Overall, for the price, the value just isn't there. I don't expect lab quality readings but I do expect the unit to at least work within a basic standard.

I have been looking to update my moisture meter, and when I saw this meter, I thought it had everything I was looking for. A 4-way digital display, including a moisture meter, pH indicator, thermometer for in-ground temperatures, and an indicator to show me how much light is getting to my plants.The large digital screen provides a clear read out that I don’t have to struggle to view. The moisture meter works as expected and is what I will use the most. The light meter is helpful so I can make sure my plants get put in the correct location. The temperature tells me whether the ground is too hot or cold. Understanding pH requires some study, but the instructions provided has several detailed charts to help you get through.The packaging was good, which protected the meter well. It was also pretty easy to open, and made for a good place to store the meter between uses.
