Does anybody have any experience with one of these?

I have been looking into a pH meter lately and this one seems pretty decent.
Any feedback would be great.

Thanks,

I have the 8681. Haven't had a ton of experience with it.. but, seems to work fine.

How long have you had it?

I have the Thermapen temp probe and love it, but ebay has some Chinese PH meters that look identical and half the price. Just watch for the different levels of accuracy, so you get the right one. They don't last more then a couple of years anyway.

That is one reason I am looking at this one as the replacement probe is 30 bucks.

I have this similar priced Hana meter and it's proven to last almost 2 years now without a probe changed, and the replacement probes are in the $40 range (link below). The meter is 2-point calibrated before each reading, stored in storage solution, cleaned monthly in cleaning solution.
