Aichose 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.

Simple to operate, great value for the price

We use this to check sugar content for our dairy calves. It works great, easy to use. The readings are subjective, depending on who is reading it, but it gets the job done for us. Should purchase additional pipettes as it only comes with a few.

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!
