I've been using Hanna Alk and Phos. been using the same unit for about 2 years now. Cross checked with salifert a few times and it is still spot on.
Hanna Alk had some reagent issue last year that made results go off chart, but besides that, everything is still good.
I have heard many users saying Hanna goes off a little after years of use. I like to cross reference every few tests to make sure.

Been using P04 and Alk for 2 years as well, so far so good. Bought NYOS to cross reference last year, and got same results.
I think most wrong test readings are from user errors. When I got weird readings I found out that the bottom of the test tube/bottle have this dried water spot, from then on, I always make sure clean that part nicely.

The unit itself reads very well, but I feel like Hanna's reagents are subject to more recalls than I think there should be. The dilutions required for the calcium checker makes it prone to poor accuracy, but the Phosphorus and Alkalinity Checkers work well when the reagents are good.
