It seems that there is need for a revised buying guide for a pH meter based on the specs outlined in the book, Water: A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers, by John Palmer and Colin Kaminski.
Here are the recommended specs in the book (pg. 244):
There is a great thread on HBT by Kaiser from 2009 that had recommendations, but it seems fitting to list some new recommendations based on this recently published book.
Feel free to reply below with recommended pH meters that meet these minimum specs.
For easy reference, I'll update possible options here as this thread develops:
Hach Pocket Pro+ ($110+17 shipping) - Recommended by ajdelange here.
OMEGAETTE PHH-7011 ($95+ unknown shipping. Includes case and pH buffers). Recommended by kerklein2 here.
Here are the recommended specs in the book (pg. 244):
- +/- 0.02 pH accuracy
- ATC (Auto Temperature Control)
- Two-point calibration
- Sealed or refillable electrode with a resolution of +/- 0.02 pH or smaller
- Double junction electrode
- Flushable junctions, which allows for easier cleaning and longer life
