There were two recent threads in which this was discussed. A number of
people had very poor experience with the Checker1, and a few were happy with
it. But it is not really accurate enough for pH level testing, although it
is apparently ok for acid titration. You can get a model PHEP5 (made by the
same company) for about $70 (from www.piwine.com and others), and it seems
to be worth the extra investment.
