Digital Sugar Brix Refractometer brix Meter Automatic Temperature Compensation Range 0-35%，±0.2% Precision, Perfect for Fruits, Juices, Vegetables, Drinks and Coffee

I bought this because I recently got a slushy machine, and someone told me the sugar level has to be just right or the mix won’t slush properly. At first, I tried the manual optical refractometer, but either it was broken or I just couldn’t get the hang of it. So I switched to this digital Brix meter, and it works amazingly well. I’m not a scientist, so I can’t speak to lab-level accuracy, but the readings seem correct, and my mixes slush perfectly when I keep them in the recommended range. Overall, great product and very easy to use.

It's practical and works fine so far.

I am a field tech and work on Cornelius Quest Elites 2,000/4,000/4290s… it helped me quickly brix units but after about 3/4 months it started giving off numbers. Ex. When I zeroed out to calibrate it registered water at 0.4% … I changed batteries, wiped clean with fresh water, tried again it hit zero. But with juice it read about 1.4% off. But in the beginning it worked flawlessly. I would buy again I probably got a defective one.

GOOD

Inaccurate- results vary greatly depending on how many seconds/ minutes you wait after applying the test fluid.

does a good job on juices only.

If a person is making wine, then it is necessary to know what concentration of sugar is in the must. Simple..yeast and sugar make wine and the more sugar is in the must, the more alcohol is in the wine. I have been measuring my concentration levels with SP (specific gravity readings) but my eyes are not the best anymore. Started out with a hydrometer but from the get go, the manual and old fashioned way was trying at best. I moved on to an optical refractometer (slide version) It was better, but you have to have a lot of light and I still had to read a scale (both sp and brix), but with this, I had only ONE EYE. Better, but not perfect. I needed better. I came across this refractometer and decided to try it. I am not use to Brix (though some say it is more accurate than SP. Received in and decided to try a side by side comparison with my OLD refractometer and this new. I measured the Brix for some pomegranate juice I had. I absolutely LOVE the fact that this is a computer not just an old fashioned optical device. It has a digital readout in decimals. My juice measured 16 brix on the optical and 15.9 on this Aicevoos refractometer. A difference of just .1 percent. I do not know which of the two is the most accurate, however, it does not matter. For my purposes, the .1 differences is not going to affect my outcome in the least. This product is small, uses three AAA batteries, has a digital readout in percentage and accurate. Instead of the old slide method of measuring, this device has a "well" that you fill up with solution then press the measure button and presto you have a digital reading of concentration levels ready for old eyes to read. Cleaning the sample well is not as easy as the other methods I have, but easily accomplished with a paper towel and a damp cloth. It appears to be water resistant and durable. I love it and am glad I can add this to my other measuring tools.

I am always trying to have my blood sugar levels in check and, as a part of this effort, I have incorporated the refractometer so that I can have a more educated and realistic assessment of the sugar content of what I consume. The refractometer works really well. It is powered by three AAA batteries, rechargeable or Alkaline. After turning the device on you may choose to operate it with the back light on or off by short pressing the power button. You then add a few drops (enough to cover the sensor) of whatever liquid you want to test into the test liquid placement area. You should then wait for one minute and then press the measurement button. The result will be displayed almost immediately in BRIX percentage, which is a proxy of sugar content in mg in a 100 ml of the tested liquid. One of the best benefits of this device, based on my experience and as it could be expected, is that you may become aware of the sugar content of some natural fruit juices or extracts that do not have any added sugar, but still, the natural sugar content that they have may prove to be much higher than expected. That was the case with an Elderberry extract that I used to consume (please see my first picture). Ideally, the testing liquid and the device should be in the same temperature for improved accuracy. After testing a certain liquid, you just add a few drops of clean water into the testing compartment, dry the sensor with a paper towel and press the reset button so you can test other liquids. The device can be powered off manually or automatically. Unfortunately, it only measures the temperature in Celsius. In summary, this is a portable, practical and very useful device, that I will always have with me. I highly recommend it.

As a coffee nerd, I saw the refractometer part of the title and incorrectly assumed it would let me check extraction rate on my espresso quickly via a TDS readout. Though, I quickly realised when it arrived, it's not really for that. Being new to refractometers, I didn't put two and two together and realise that ultimately, it's intended for checking sucrose content. It's of course still usable with coffee or any liquid if you want or need to check the sugar content, but the odds are you’re the one who put the sugar into the coffee so you should know how much is in it anyway haha. You can also theoretically convert a BRIX reading into a TDS one that would allow you to get an approximation of the coffee solids in your coffee, but that may be too much faff for some. Anyway, even if it wasn’t what I thought it was, I still gave it a proper go with some different liquids and tests. I mixed some weighed amounts of sugar and water and have been pleased with the accuracy and reliability of the unit at figuring out the percentage content of the liquids. The unit has a temperature sensor that will adjust the reading to suit the temperature It arrived in a branded cardboard box protected with a plastic bag and a moulded insert inside the box. Unfortunately there was no case provided for the unit but it did come with a small instructions slip and the required three AAA batteries. It feels like a robust little unit that has an easily readable backlit screen and protective cap on the testing area. It's quite small and pocketable, making it great for handheld measurements if you happen to need to use it in a portable use case. Though, I wouldn’t bet on this holding up to any major drops, knocks or any other physical abuse as it's a precision instrument at the end of the day and the instructions make a note of this. I can't fault this unit, if you have an application where you need to measure and verify the sugar content of a liquid quickly to an accurate level then this is something that can do the job for a low cost and is a lot quicker and easier to use than optical versions. It would be particularly useful for anyone who deals with home brewing their own spirits, beers and wines as you can easily find conversion calculators for the brix reading that could be helpful for estimating the alcohol yield of a fermentation. No complaints on this one for me, it's only marginally more expensive than a good quality optical refractometer and it has worked well for me so far with sugar water, fruit juices and other random liquids while being simple to use and maintain. If I had to nitpick about something, it would be the lack of a case, but otherwise it's great.

Macht was er soll.

it is a very good equipment. i really liked it. i tried it for two weeks. it is very accurate and reliability. i recommend it

Lo utilizzo per valutare la % di brix nelle mele. Ottimo prodotto, utilissimo e di buona fattura. Dimensioni tascabili per trasportarlo ovunque e comodissimo. Lo consiglio vivamente.

works well no problems
