What Customers Are Saying
The 3-in-1 soil tester had mixed reviews. While the moisture and light functions worked reasonably well, the pH meter was widely reported as inaccurate and unreliable, often showing neutral or alkaline results regardless of actual soil conditions. Many users also experienced issues with the build quality and durability, with probes breaking or disconnecting after limited use. A few customers found the tester helpful for monitoring plant needs, but the majority of reviews suggest this is not a dependable product, especially for measuring soil pH accurately.

Would Not RecommendI purchased this primarily to determine the soil PH in my garden. The light and moisture functions do work but the PH meter always registers 8, no matter what soil I test. It's basically doesn't work for that function. I would not have purchased just a light and moisture meter, however that is what this product is. Would not recommend.
PH Moisture & Light works perfectly.
Great help in finding out pH on peach trees, Rhododendrons and vegetables I planted was off, which is why they weren't growing as expected.

Not a good PH SOIL READER
Would Not Recommendlight and moisture works OK. PH read does not register. Needs another more sensitive circuit and separate readout scale. Summary, NOT SUITABLE FOR SOIL PH.2
Probes disconnected first use
Would Not RecommendUpon removing this soil tester from the ground on the first use, the tips of both probes became disconnected and hung by the wires. RETURN.

Great tool
This is a very good tool to make sure your plants don’t get overwatered or underwater. It also checks pH and light.

PIECE OF JUNK
Would Not RecommendTips come off - device is then "inaccurate"..??? Wrote to Company and they responded by saying the tips "should stay on"... WHAT?? This has also happened with previous purchases of this meter. Will NOT buy anything from this Company ever again. Am now writing to Lowe's to strongly suggest they STOP selling this clearly defective device.....
Not worth it.
This meter was not accurate. More importantly, even though I bought it online, I was not able to send it back. The only solution Lowe's gave me is to drive an hour to a Lowe's store for a return. You cannot send this item back. This is a deal breaker for me. Never ordering from Lowe's again because of this return policy.
