After the salt test mine seems to be off by 6%, anyone else getting similar results?

Mine came back as a +2 and that matchs up with both my others which were also +2 and plus +3 (Their variance I already knew).

Good enough for me.......

I've got 4 of them, all within 3% points. Once again, close enough for me at that price. Better units are out there for a price for those demanding spot on accuracy.

They are hit and miss but for the most part if you need a few this is a good buy in bulk. I have bought 6 I think maybe 7. I only had one that was off by more than 5 and it was way off, 10ish I think. I took it back and exchanged it for one that was off by 2. Almost every one I have is low not high and mostly by just 2 or 3. I have salt test them all at reg intervals and they don't appear to be getting worse, so I just keep the like units together and know they are off by what ever they are. I have 2 in one vino that tested low by 2. They read 68 every day I look at them (Scott's beads in the vino by the way).
