has anyone used the CF ECOstick?

Does anyone else use one of these?

Bought one to try it out and compared its reading to another. Works great, easy to read, displays EC/ppm/CF all at once, and never needs to be recalibrated. Now ... the test is seeing how long it lasts. Here's the poop:

Looks like the Bluelab Trunchion meter I have. I love my trunchion but this thing is like 1/5th the price. I may have to pick one up for a back up.

Do folks still like this truncheon?

I'd be interested in hearing from those of you that bought this tester as to how things are working out. The fact that it can't be calibrated seems like a concern but are you finding that it's accurate? Of those of you who purchased this do you still like it, or have you had problems with it.
Would you still recommend it?

I just bought one of these as a backup, anyone still using it? Any thoughts? Sorry to dig up such an old thread

Picked one of these up at GC Hydro for $20 cash out the door. They had a gangload of them. Have had it for about 3 weeks now and everytime I use it, I check it against my Hanna PPM meter and it's dead on accurate.

I should have picked up a couple more as backups....
