Giving it 5 stars as I wasn't able to find any flaws yet and I was able to get good readings every time. Love the fact that it is quick, has a good screen that you can twist to an angle for better view, direct conversion between celsius and fahrenheit.
Compared to a simple one found at my local hardware store, this was reading "on the spot"(the other either was broken or it was plain dumb). Compared with the one from my neighbour - got similar readings.
I didn't have time to perform a manual test with tubes and whatnot, for pH.

Cool soil meter!
This is a cool little meter! I always wanted to test my soil for the plants and lawn. That's why when I saw this 5-in-1 Soil Moisture Meter I had to order it and give it a try! I am mostly interested in soil moisture, soil fertility and PH levels, so the sunlight and temperature measurements were a bonus. I like that all I have to do is stick this into the soil and I get a reading on the meter's backlit LCD display. There's only two buttons on the meter, one button called "PH" that is used to cycle between temperature and PH measurements. Then there is another button to change the temperature unit from Fahrenheit to Celcius, and vice versa. The meter is well thought out too. The LCD display is angled so it can be read when looking down at the meter. If that isn't enough the meter can also be tilted up to 45 degrees so you can practically look down at it to see the readings. There is one downside though. Every time the meter turns on (by pressing any of the two buttons) it seems to always default back to Fahrenheit. it's too bad it cannot remember what was set and always use that. A few other things to note. The meter is not waterproof so it cannot be left out where it may be exposed to water. I do like that there are rubber grips on the side of the meter to make inserting and pulling the meter out of the soil easier. A little red rubber cover is also provided to the probe tip. I do notice the probe tip is not very sharp In fact it's a bit blunt. It's easier to push this into wet soil. Also, for power, the meter takes 4xAAA batteries, which are not included. I don't see a battery indicator as well in the LCD. Lastly, I don't have anything else to measure and compare for PH, soil moisture, soil fertility, etc. so I can't confirm their accuracy. Hopefully I can do a soil sample (to a lab) later on and do some comparisons. I will update this review with any new information. Overall, a good little meter to test your soil with. It easy to use and give super quick results!

Reasonably decent soil meter/tester, 2" backlit display/limited viewing angles,questionable accuracy
This is a reasonably decent soil meter/tester that seems well-constructed and for the most part works just fine without issues; however, it does have questionable accuracy based on what I'm able to ascertain so far. It has a fairly large 2" backlit screen that's bright and easy to see (well, at the right angles); however, it has rather limited viewing angles and it's a lot easier and clearer to look downwards as opposed to upwards, which is a bit of a bummer.Reasonably decent soil meter/tester, 2" backlit display/limited viewing angles,questionable accuracy

The physical build quality is decent albeit typical of most others with similar style and design that I've come across and reviewed. It has a typical shell that most others have and although it doesn't necessarily feel cheap or even flimsy, it doesn't feel like a million bucks either. It does have a tiltable display which I do appreciate; however, it's limited to 2 adjustable angles only (i.e. locked into place with a clip) at roughly 15° and 45° angles which isn't exactly a great design in my mind.
It would've been a lot more helpful if it's tiltable at 90° (that a few others that I have/had can) with a variable/stepless angle design (i.e. use tension to hold the screen in place) since the display isn't at all heavy and doesn't require a lot of force to keep the screen at any arbitrary angle. Btw, it uses 4x AAA batteries (none included).
It only has 2 buttons; one for switching between normal and pH/moisture modes and the other one is for selecting the temp unit (°C/°F); nothing fancy here. While the temperature, moisture level, and pH level seems to be reasonably accurate, the same can't be said about the lux or the nutrient levels unfortunately. The light meter is off by at least 250 lx when the ambient light level is around 1000 lx and it does NOT register anything below roughly 700-720 lx. The offset isn't linear and at 1250 lx, it registers 1000 lx as opposed to 550 lx or so (i.e. minus 700 lx). As such, it's really default to gauge its accuracy or precision and if light level is a concern for you, this is perhaps not what you need because it's simply way off.
As for measuring soil fertility and its nutrient level, it's also difficult to determine its accuracy since it's unknown to me exactly what it measures and none of the required information is mentioned in the manual or anywhere else that I can see. For reference, there are multiple approaches to determine the quality of the soil and one of them is measuring the amount of negation ions such as Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium. Another common way is to determine the amount of Phosphorous, Potassium, and Magnesium. Keep in mind that it's not just about the amount but also the ratio amongst those nutrients and since this particular meter doesn't state what it measures, it's difficult to even begin to guess whether it's accurate or not.
≡ Value
All things considered, this is a reasonably decent soil meter/tester that seems well-constructed and for het most part works just fine. It has a decent backlit screen that's relatively to see for the most part and it's easy to use; however, its overall accuracy does leave something to be desired and it really depends on what you need or hoping to get out of this. It's reasonably priced at $28 for what it provides and its overall build quality, usability, versatility, accuracy, and performance. Your mileage might vary.
