Since I'm the first to respond, everyone agrees with me!

I've had a Pinpoint monitor for over a year. I've had a Hanna handheld one that stunk and was replaced twice both within 1 month. Cheap little plastic thing. Now they do have some good high end equipment for phosphate detection etc. I currently have an Aquacontroller 3 which has the pH monitoring on it and I like it too but it's not really the type you are looking at by the way you worded the question.

Oh, and by the time you spend 100 bucks on just a pH monitor you may want to investigate this for just a little more and then you can add on as you feel like it:
