🍯 Honey Refractometer with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) - Tiaoyeer Moisture, Brix, and Baume Refractometer for Honey, 58-90% Brix Scale Range - Honey Moisture Tester Review

I've had an apiary for several years. I've always wondered if there was a way to check moisture content in my honey. I've never had any of my honey ferment but I don't want to take a chance with such a precious resource. After some study, I leaned about refractometers. I assumed these would be pricey but was AMAZED that this one was so inexpensive! Shipment arrived three days after ordering. I had just harvested some honey and tested it after calibrating per the instructions that came with my…

The refractometer feels solid, well built, and comes in a nice plastic hard case. My direction came in ChiThe refractometer feels solid, well built, and comes in a nice plastic hard case.I found the calibration was really easy and it came with a small screwdriver to make adjustments. I calibrated and tested a sample from extracted honey in a matter of 5 minutes.Good Product!

This product was spot on. If you don’t see the line, it’s because there’s not enough sugar in your sample.It came pre-calibrated, but I verified with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and an existing bottle of maple syrup from a local sugar shack. Spot on.It has saved me time and effort in my first year of sugaring my maples and is a great value and easy to use

Would not calibrate properly. Got a replacement and it also would not calibrate properly. Took it to a friend that was very familiar with refractometers and the problem seemed to lie with the alignment of the prism in such a way that the cover lens could not lie flat on the prism. Returned and requested a refund and ordered ebay’s choice refractometer and it calibrates and works fine. I suspect the first two I got that would not calibrate properly were from the same batch and most must work…

I purchased this to read the moisture content of honey from my bee hives. It's easy to use and accurate. That's my review.

Bought this because it seemed a well rated fairly inexpensive tool to check moisture in my honey, but the scale inside the refractometer is in Brix and specific gravity, not % moisture as was shown in the picture. Disappointed in the false advertising.

Instructions were wrong. It mentioned using distilled water and setting it to zero. There is no zero. Googled and found out to use olive oil to calibrate to 71.5. Once that was done. Voila. It just needs to have updated instructions.

I now know with certainty that our honey is ready to package. Before I bought this refractometer, I was just guessing at the moisture content.

I never could figure out how to accurately calibrate the tool because the instructions were for a tool with more on it. I assume that I got it accurate enough by randomly guessing where numbers might be and I assume that my honey is good.

Tried to calibrate with what I thought was the olive oil. Nothing happened saw no half and half screen, just indicator line that never moved even turning calibration screw. I doubt it was olive oil because it fused with the plastic of the device and melted it.Took this long to use because I waited for honey harvest to try. This was weird.

Received the product on time and as specified in the ad. The unit looks sturdy and is supplied in a good storage case. The refractometer was easy to calibrate with the supplied screw driver. Would buy again.

I got my delivery yesterday. The instrument looks well made and easy to use. The only draw back is the instructions to calibrate it. They said to use distilled water, however, that didn't seem to work. I ended up using Dave Cushman's instructions, using Virgin Olive Oil.Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.

The product itself seems to work fine but it is shipped with a vial of foul smelling fluid. In response to a question, the company said it was olive oil to act as a test material. Smells more like some kind of rancid engine oil. Very difficult to clean away the smell!

The refractometer received was for home brewing/wine making not for checking the sugar and water percentages of honey as described by the seller.

Very simple to use, I use this to ensure the honey I sell will not ferment. It takes all of 2-3 seconds to read. The only thing that is at all tricky, is that the reading is temperature sensitive. It must be read at environmental temperature of 68 degrees

The item was neatly packed and delivered timely. It gives an accurate reading and is easy to easy and interpret results.

The instructions for calibration on this device were very clear and easy to follow. After calibration I took several tests from the same batch with the same reading.

Very easy Refractometer to determine the moisture content of my honey. Very pleased with how easy it is to read and accurate way to determine if my honey is good to put into storage or needs further dehydration.

This refractometer is easy to use and it's pre-calibrated. No complicated formulas to worry about. It's a must if you were going to sell your honey.

This worked just like advertised. Simple and quick. Wish I had gotten it years ago. So easy, every beekeeper needs one at harvest time!
