Amazon Customer: I bought this product to help get me started with mead making. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. It gives accurate and consistent measurements of specific gravity.
The glass for the hydrometer is extremely thin and appears fragile, but I’m sure that is how it has to be made for it to work. Regardless, it comes with a really protective plastic case lined with styrofoam so I don’t think it would break.
The hydrometer is also a little difficult to read because the lines are so small and close together, but again this seems standard and all of the other products I saw on Amazon so I think that’s just how they are made.
Know that you pretty much will need to purchase a turkey baster to get test samples from your mead to the cylinder.
I’ve really enjoyed this product and other than just waiting an excessively long time, it’s the only way to know when your mead is done fermenting. For what it is, I think it’s perfect and well made, and a good price compared to other options.

T. Burgess: The hydrometer, alcoholmeter, and test jar all seem to be of good quality. I have a cheaper set that was included with another product and it is noticeably smaller and lower quality. The temperature correction table is easy to read and fits inside the protective case. The test jar included a cleaning brush.

Debra B.: I can't tell if the accuracy is great or not. It took me a bit to be able to figure out how to read it, (I just recorded the numbers with pictures until I could) and I think I would prefer to get another unit that has the numbers spaced further apart so I can judge where the level is if I needed to be more precise. This one does pretty well for a general idea, though.
It has a nice plastic storage case with foam padding bits for the hydrometer included in the set, and the glass test measuring tube is not too thin, although it does seem like it will break if you aren't careful. It has been lightly knocked around from washing and in transport between the sink and my mead making station, and both are still fully in-tact. The hydrometer would probably be the first thing I accidentally break, as it is very thin glass. I am trying to be careful with it, but I have a backup, just in case.

Grecia De Los Cobos: I used it to get the gravity of my beer and believe it works good but I still have to compare it to my refractometer. The only thing I didn't like is that the graduated cylinder is not labeled so I can not used it at other instances where I want to measure volume. I wish it was labeled in milliliters. Also it doesn't come with a case, so you have to store it really good because it can break.
