0-80% Brix Meter Refractometer for Measuring Sugar Content in Fruit, Honey, Maple Syrup and Other Sugary Drink, with Automatic Temperature Compensation Function

This is a quality refractometer that works well. Great value.

Very handy and easy to use device! I use it to measure brix for maple syrup and my honey. It’s very accurate, easy to use and easy to read. It’s a good quality, feels good and sturdy.

Very accurate, easy to use. A few drops and you get a readout right away. This replaced my bobber - 100% better and faster. highly recommend. Solid construction. The only flaw is that the plastic pippette melts over 100 Celcius; you might want to use a glass pippette or just a simple stainless steel skewer.

Seems fairly well made and it works great. Very easy to use!

I now have three of these: a 0-30, which I use to judge when to move concentrating maple sap to the finisher, a 55-95, which I use to roughly judge near-finished syrup and also honey, and now a 0-80, just because. The first two are easier to read due to the narrower range (bigger numbers on the recticle), but the 0-80 is quite usable in bright light (all three have an adjustable focus on the eyepiece for vision correction). I have a big 7” calibratable Leader Evaporator maple syrup thermometer that is highly accurate for syrup sugar concentration (219 degrees F = 67.5% sugar +/-0.25% once calibrated to adjust for barometric pressure) and I find both the 55-95 and the 0-80 to be pretty accurate (+/-1-2%?). Not quite enough for production, but great to figure out when I need to pay attention. They are robust little buggers though I’ve never dropped one. I’m sure the $250+ models are much more accurate. But for my uses and at this price point, these are great. I just wish they weren’t made in China!
