I think its funny the marketing approach they took. They talk about how test kits are only 5% to 10% accurate (they call them points) and then this unit is only 4% accurate. :lol:

Its still pretty cool, though. Especially for the price. That website has great prices on MP10s, too.

Correct me If I'm wrong but Isn't that the same as If It reads 1.0 It actually could be from 0.6 to 1.4 Or am i misunderstanding It?
That's a pretty fair reading for that kind of money, Me thinks...

Yeah, I am with you Andy, I just going to get one of the 200 dollar meters. I just have a long line of purchases ahead of it ,

Oh and off topic, a little fun fact. There are no magnesium tests at any middle tennessee retailer at all. At least nashville and franklin. I have been to them all. Sucks for the LFS's because now I am just getting everything I need right now online, instead of locally.

The unit I am looking at is lab grade and a does a whole lot more, but the price certainly reflects it. For 40 bucks this is a decent result. Just remember, you have to buy the reagants tpp at 25 bucks also...

Very cool idea. Will be great if someone gets one and we can do some comparison testing at a club meeting. Couple of diff test kits against this unit.

You may wanna read this thread. Its quite interesting to see the diff thoughts on the meter.

Looks like a waste of money IMO Not any better than the test kits.
