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.

Decent for a quick check, but requires patience

I bought this 3-in-1 meter to help keep my houseplants on a better watering schedule. Here is my experience so far: • The Good: It doesn't require batteries, which is a huge plus. The moisture reading seems fairly accurate if you give it a minute to settle, and it's much cleaner than the "finger dip" method. • The Not-So-Good: The pH and Light functions feel a bit hit-or-miss. The pH needle barely moves unless the soil is significantly acidic or alkaline, and the light sensor is very sensitive t...

Must have

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Good meter, I like it had three option for soil check and I don’t need three separate devices. Easy to use and reading of the results is easy to understand. Must have for people like me who don’t understand flowers but live them

Not worth the money

Would Not Recommend

3 in 1 soil tester would be great if it worked. I tried to test ph levels on new bagged soil, potting soil, my lawn and my raised bed gardens and the needle does not move.

Doesn’t work.

Would Not Recommend

Don’t believe the 5 star reviews. I bought it for the Ph component and it does not read correctly. The needle never moved except for one time when it moved to 10. I stuck it in several different spots in my yard. I put it in a couple different potted plants and even a bag of potting mix. I had an older PH meter that I used as a reference and this never matched in any soil samples. It went back to Lowe’s. I’ll have to find somewhere else to purchase a reliable Ph meter.

AMAZING

Would Recommend

This is super cool it test your soil to let you know how good or bad your dirt is to plant certain crops or flowers. I'm pretty sure it does alot of other things I'm still seeing what all this does. I absolutely recommend this meter it's absolutely impressive. [I received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Great Tool For The Plant Lover

Would Recommend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am super impressed! I have a lot of houseplants, but wanted to see if it actually worked so took it to the outside garden. The ground is dry, and the sun wasn't out, immediately it noted these things. I can't wait to keep a better track of my plants because most I'm guessing what they actually need. 10/10!!

Save your money

Would Not Recommend

Complete garbage, doesn’t test ph at all, bought two knowing one most likely wouldn’t work, but they both don’t budge when testing soil ph. Probes also pull out after the first or second time you use them.
