I bought one of these meters in 1987 (obviously not from here!) and am still using it today. I've had the same 'problem' other people have reported about the meter staying at 7, but it's easy to solve. I use a small piece of 600 grit sandpaper to polish the probe prior to use. The readings are accurate every time. Just make sure the probe is bright and shiny (especially the tip), and it will work. If it's not shiny, the readings will be sporadic, or it will just get stuck on a particular reading. It's a very simple and affordable PH meter, that can obviously last a very long time!

The first moisture meter (this was not a pH meter) I received was defective (would barely register "damp" when placed in a glass of water and didn't budge when placed into wet dirt). I replaced it and got the same result with the second meter so sent it back for a refund.
