Good:

The PH110 is accurate and cheap. I am able to get repeatable flavor and texture when I make cheese, because I can hit all my markers.

Bad:

The PH110 requires fiddling every time I want to use it. It requires at least one calibration when I take it out of the cabinet. Then if I wait more than a couple of hours between uses, it requires another calibration. Calibration isn't difficult, but it can get pricy because you have to buy pouches of calibration solution. I put the solution in a tupperware bowl and reuse it for a day or two.

Ugly:

A couple of times, I had to remove the batteries to reset it because it locked up during a calibration.

I bought this to use for cheese making, and it has fulfilled all my expectations, including the ability to check the pH of the cheese itself, rather than just the whey as most other meters are limited to.

I can only hope that it will prove as reliable in the long run as it has in the short run, providing reliable information to 2 decimal points, which comes in very handy.

I love it and would recommend it to anyone needing such accuracy and reliability.

Best Deals for Extech PH110 Waterproof ExStik pH Meter

This is my second purchase of this meter. The first one would not calibrate. This meter is now about 5 weeks old. It does not take reliable pH readings (answer changes if retested within an hour), and now the display tells me the meter is reaching the end of its life. Their tech support phone number has been disconnected. Don't buy this meter!! I am going to try to return it.

Honest reviews on Extech PH110 Waterproof ExStik pH Meter

This meter did not calibrate, even after following the troubleshooting instructions directly from Extech's website. I turned the meter upside downand tapped on the tip with the pad of my finger and the glass on the tip broke. I didn't know glass could be this thin (it broke) not durable in any way shape or form. Not sure what environment this was designed for but certainly not mine. I shipped it back for a refund. If you ever dropped this it would surely break the glass.
