Best For solid: Milwaukee environmental Meter

Buy on Amazon

The milwaukee environmental meter is capable of outshining several other meter featured in this list in overall features in its price range. If you brew beer or make wine and need a way to check your DO this is very reasonably priced and easy to use. It is easy to set up and use, no "con" issues of any kind. The starter bottle that comes with it is only good for 5 or 6 tests. It already comes with the electrolyte solution (probe calibrationstorage), so the only other thing you would want to get so that you can do both slope and zero calibration on the meter would be a zero oxygen solution, like this one.

It is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point. It is a good unit with everything to use it out of the box because you can zero it with air also. The membrane is necessary for the probe to work.

Why We Like This:

Easy to use, and set up
Minimum soaking time 2-3 hours before calibration
Polarographic probe with 3m cable and screw-on cap membrane
Useful tool, repeatable and expected results
