Review on 🌟 Premium Quality 250mL Polypropylene Autoclavable Measuring Cylinder - Reliable and Durable by Paul Dobson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Looks accurate but hard to read

I needed a better 250ml graduated cylinder for a class I teach in lost wax casting as part of an adult education program in my town. I had an older one, but it became very difficult for my students to read the graduated lines as the raised lines faded over the years. I wanted a new bottle that students could easily read, and preferably one with black lines. I looked at every cylinder I could find on Revain and settled on this one. On the photo accompanying the product, the graduations and numbers are very legible both above and below the blue liquid line. It looked like the lines were drawn or painted. Received the cylinder today and noticed that the raised lines were not painted at all and looked like white on white lines and numbers like a dozen other non-glass cylinders offered at lower prices. I have to believe that the blue liquid photo was VERY carefully lit when it was taken to really "pop out" the gradations and numbers in the photo. It works flawlessly and the gradations seem accurate. It's just difficult to read. Oh, it's just another cylinder.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember
