This thing is so awesome makes checking my salt water tank so easy and fast. Very easy to calibrate and results are always accurate. If your tired of looking through a little hole and trying to get your salinity right get this well worth the money

The Milwaukee MA887 Digital Salinity Refractometer is excellent! It's fast, accurate, and very easy to use. The automatic temperature compensation is a great feature, and the digital readout is clear and reliable. Perfect for keeping my aquarium salinity exactly where it needs to be. Highly recommend for anyone who wants precise and hassle-free readings.

We have a small educational aquarium with around 25 tanks and our staff uses this daily. It is very easy to use and holds up pretty well with all the use. It is easy to store based off size. Water stays on reader and is easily cleaned off. This is a good value for all the benefits it provides. The dark color helps hide any blemishes from wear and tear.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simply does not work properly

First unit tested the calibration solution that came with it (1.025 SG) at 1.023SGI have a bottle of a different calibration solution, the most popular one on here, (1.026 SG) and it tested 1.028 on the Milwaukee. I calibrated several times using the distilled water, making sure the lens was clean each time, also waited 1 minute before testing and got the above results every single time. My reef tank tested at 1.028 SG as well. On my $20 lens refractomter, the calibration solutions all tested accurately and my tank tested at 1.026. Those of you who have reef tanks can probably understand I almost had a heart attack when it tested 1.028 SGI opted to have a replacement sent and this one also did not test properly.The 1.025 Calibration solution did test at 1.025 SG but my 1.026 SG calibration tested at 1.028 SG along with my tank. The $20 refractometer tested properly again with all three tests.Forgot to mention that I also used a hydrometer just to triple check everything and the tank tested at 1.026 SGSending back the replacement for a refund.Reefers beware, this is not an accurate tester.

4.0 out of 5 stars so simple and fast

This one is hard to do a good review . first of all for the price the ma800 case should of come with it .Now it get tricky . the celebration is simple and easy . I had no problems zeroing it out . The problem is the verification . I see so may reviews in utub saying the same thing . The verification solution is marked 1.025every reading I take I get 1.027 one out 10 1.026. Now if I take that same solution 1.025 and us it with my refractometer . I get a 1.025 reading . if I use my refractometer verification solution at 1.025 with the Milwaukee ma887 I get 1.025 . so to me Milwaukee is using a 3rd party verification solution that is not correct . I have yet to write to Milwaukee to see what they say . It Does state plus or minus .2 . It is very precise get the same number over and over . So the way my unit reads I always mines .01 if it reads 1.026 I will record the reading at 1.025 . then I will verify that reading in the next day using my refractometer. Also the MA877 doesn't read in halves if the reading is 1.025.6 it will read 1.026

5.0 out of 5 stars Very accurate, very reliable.

i got this at someone's recommendation. i must say i was pleasantly surprised. I'm 6 months in, and its still going strong. i highly recommend though for anyone with any refractometers, to buy here on Bolo a refractometer calibration liquid set at 1.026 just so you can always know with certainty. i mean its nice to know your refractometer is still accurate.

Great device, if you are keeping Reef aqurium you ...

Works as advertised, extremely easy to use, come with 0ppm calibration solution and 35ppm controll sample, 2 pipets for sampling + batteries for device it self. Not cheapest option on the market but with high value corals in our tanks price is comparable to brand name see true type refractometers. Highly recommended!!!

Alles bestens OK.

Doesn’t look like a new item

Box was crushed and there was scratch mark on the product. Test solution was leaking. Looks like a used product which isn’t acceptable for the price.
