    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!

    I got this to use with a slush maker that I purchased. It has a sensor that tells you when the sugar content is too high or low, but I still had problems with the solution not freezing. Using this it was easy to tell what the problem was and I was able to correct the issue and have wonderful adult slushes.
    Very easy to use and simple to clean up.
    The container it comes in seems durable and sufficient to protect the device. The device itself is much heavier than expected for the price and seems very well made.
    Already recommend to a friend and they purchased one for themselves.

    This is a great tool to measure the sugar content for my slushy machine. Easy to use and reliable.

    Bought for making slushies with my vevor machine. When using Mr Margarita mix or Island Oasis mix and Bacardi Silver rum it seemed to never get frozen enuff. So I thought buying this would help me to know where my sugar content was. I was at 15% ...they say that's where it should be, but I find it firms up better closer to 20%. Thanks to this new tool I can check the sugar content easily. Island Oasis mix has way more flavor than Mr. Margarita, but Mr Margarita is cheaper and cleans up easier. I've tried both and went back to Island oasis.

    Seems accurate but looking in the eye piece takes practice. I found that you need to look through the bottom half of eye piece to view the reading otherwise the readings are all over the place and blurry. Even when looking through the bottom half of the eye piece the readings aren't 100% sharp are readable. The measurements are consistent from reading to reading which does give me some confidence. I did test on a 30% sugar standard (home made) and it did read 30 brix. Overall, you get what you pay for but it does seem to work well enough for my back yard maple syrup production.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality & pretty accurate, for cheap
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2022
    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!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works great for making maple syrup
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021
    Very easy method for gauging when maple syrup is concentrated enough. It only requires a few drops of sap or partially boiled sap to get an accurate reading. Will read as low as 0% Brix which is distilled water. Maple syrup is ready at about 60 to 65% Brix. The sap before any boiling down measured about 1.5% Brix. Since you get the full range you can check at any stage to see how much more boiling away is needed. For example, if it reads 30% Brix you need to boil until it is twice as concentrated and half the volume. When taking samples of hot boiling sap with the eye dropper you do have to wait about a minute for it to cool down before measuring, but it did not seem to affect the reading accuracy much if the liquid wasn't exactly at room temperature.

    To avoid getting air bubbles in the thin area between the glass plates it seemed to be helpful to lay the top plate down slowly and to apply the right amount of liquid. If air bubbles do get in, it seemed easiest to just start over by wiping clean and applying new drops of liquid.

    It is easy to clean between readings. I wiped surfaces with a damp tissue followed by a dry tissue to dry.

    Highly recommended for small-scale maple syrup making.

    I use this to test my jams and jellies prior to canning. I was able to prove the difference between volume and weight measurements for regular granulated sugar and pure cane organic granulated sugar. I also use this for our honey moisture content analysis. I recommend to other homesteaders to have one.
