Which Hanna PH Meter? Upgrading

[Duntov]

Currently I have the Hanna pHep 5 HI98128.  It has served me okay but I have learned that the probes must constantly be cleaned during the cheesemaking process for accurate reading.  This model is a pain to clean and simple rinsing does not get rid of the fatty particles. 

I am now looking at the HI99165 and HI99161.  I don't need data logging.  What is the difference between the probes and what are the pros and cons of each?  Also, I can attached a knife probe to these models to check the PH of cheeses that are aging?

I have the  hi 99161 and love it , it rarely needs cleaning , and have yet to ever have it wander off calibration in the year that I have had it so far .



You do know though that they make the blue tooth version that uses a tablet to read out on for $200 instead of the normal model at $400 plus

I spoke to them about the Bluetooth model and they said it is exactly the same probe .

Thanks Gregore.  I will pass on the wireless one.  I like having dedicated devices and don't like phone apps.

let us know what you think after using it for a few makes , I know you will love it but it is good to have others opinions on it .
