I’m fond of my Apera PC60-Z. Nifty little bastard!
Edit: I see price doesn’t matter in your case. There are better pH and EC devices that cost more.
I’m of no help now since I can’t remember any. Oh well, I still stick with my Apera since its treated me well.

I have a blue lab combo meter. And Hanna groline. The blue lab is half the price. Both report the same numbers. But Hanna has an extra digit of accuracy. And I find it arrives at the Ph fast. Where as the blue lab takes like a good 10 seconds to settle to a number. Also the groline has a single probe that does Ph and TDS which is kind of handy.
Do you carry it around or is it mountable?

I had the regular Apera PC60, then bought the PC60-Z.
I’m a sucker for shit that shows pretty graphs and crap on my phone. The regular PC60 is equally as good, if you wanted to save a few bucks. Just no smart phone capability.

Hand held. I have 8 reservoirs now so I need to check each one weekly or biweekly sometimes.
Right that's why I ask I have 4. Went with the Groline.

I don’t know where you found the blue lab combo meter for half of the gro line price. Anyway I seen their video about it and it takes the same amount of time to get to ph as my Bluelab ph pen. I like that the gro line has one probe. I was going to go with it but I still have my blue lab ec so I just bought another Bluelab ph pen. My old one still works but since I’m starting a new grow I’d rather have a new one as back up. Is your gro line fast?

The groline is really fast at getting to the number. That's why I like it. It was a gift. But it's $399. Vs the blue lab combo meter can be had on Amazon for $200. I got mine for $108 one day there was a Sale a member here tipped me off.
The Groline I ordered on Amazon was $279 hope it was the correct model...
Update: dam I ordered the step down version

I could have gotten it from Hanna for 255 shipped on their 4th of July sale. ALWAYS order from the company even if it’s a little more.
If I return this model I'll check it out.
