Is this a accurate tester for someone new?

It seems to work well. Stick it in the ground and you get a temperature. In realty it is probably not necessary here in the South, where you need to just be patient and recognize that you have an extraordinarily long growing season. More relevant in the cold climates.

Yes they are. I farm and use these thermometers a lot in the spring to help determine optimal planting times on each field. I use other brands as well, and check calibration to determine consistency every year. These Talylor therms are very good and easy to read. Good addition to a farmers tool kit whether you farm 2000 acres or just a garden in your yard! Happy planting!

Absolutely! Matter of fact this multi-tester is so powerful, handy and easy to use, and with auto range feature; for instant, if you want to test your battery, just slide the switch to volt and read voltage instantly. This one is always in my pocket, every time when I want to test something quick, am always grab this one instead of my other big and expensive ones. My son always wants to borrow this little one for his robot project. Trust me, you will love it.

Mine was not a tester. It was full and came in an aluminum bottle. I love it!

Well in a relative sense, the answer is yes. The reason I say that is you have to calibrate it yourself. If you immerse the meter tip into something that you know is 100% saturated, you have the ability to set the meter reading to the maximum, which is 10. Therefore, all other readings should become accurate. This is explained in the instructions that come with the meter.

I remember something in the instructions about that. Believe it means the test is malfunctioning. There was a sort of reset option, but if it's been going on for 9 days, sounds like the tester is defunct. Time to swap out for a new one!

Hello, They all have a experation date on them(all diffrent). Once that day comes , They just stop working. Your tester will just read ERROR. ASK BEFORE YOU BUY.

Not many tests exist that are 100% accurate under any circumstance and this is no exception. Though through personal experience they have been accurate both when I thought I would be clean and also when I knew I wasnt. And like many others here. Take 2 back to back and compare results. Dont worry about the shade of the line, that doesnt matter...what matters is if its there or not. And this tests states that it tests up to 50...not 75 like another reponder.

I Would Say, No. Mine Wouldn't Respond To Holding The Test Button In Even With The Batteries Installed Correctly.

I have no way to test, so am interested in your experience. I must say I had my doubts. sounds suspect to me!

No you will need a seperate tester for that. Does great for everything else though.

Yes, though I would not recommend it. This tester is very cheap and will just stop working after a couple of uses

I used a short term test like the one from First Alert to validate the readings in my basement and it came out accurate. Make sure that you carefully place the unit because placement can effect the readings. 25 is pretty high but certainly in the range of possible - don't ignore it !

These are the worst tests ever. I highly recommend retesting with a known brand. Good luck.

I don't think so however I am not an expert and only test for basic items. I would as the tech support at LaMotte.

Yes. The tester, as shown in the picture, goes between the charger/USB port and the cable to the USB device. Tester is plugged in first, then the device cable into the tester just like any other USB port.

I would like to answer your question, but Amazon did not forward it to me. I can only say that I have had good success with my purchase of the Dusiec Diamond Tester. It performs simple tests on diamonds and has proven accurate each time.
