Best OverallA digital salinity refractometer packed with its own case, meant for checking saltwater aquarium water. The listing gives no range, accuracy or calibration details.
A digital Brix refractometer with a very wide scale, quick response and a stated accuracy, for sugar checks from light juices to heavy syrups. The listing gives no battery, sample size or calibration detail.
A pocket-size digital Brix meter that handles hot samples, reads in about three seconds and rinses clean under the tap. It needs batteries and covers sugar content only.
A portable gem refractometer with the listed measuring span for identifying gemstones in jewelry. The listing gives almost no detail on contents, calibration or accessories.
A digital refractometer made for fire sprinkler installers and inspectors checking glycerine or propylene glycol antifreeze. Only a small sample is needed for a reading.
A pocket digital refractometer for urine specific gravity with a lit display, automatic temperature compensation and a protective case. It is built for one sample type, and its calibration certificate is not included.
A handheld analog sugar meter that corrects for temperature on its own, for checking Brix in juice, drinks and food samples. The scale ends at the low end of the Brix range, so heavy syrups need a higher-range model.
A dual-scale digital refractometer for food, drink and agriculture work, reading sugar content and light bending alike. This listing is the version without the armor jacket, and the weight entry is clearly wrong.
A digital handheld meter for checking glycerine and propylene glycol solutions by concentration or freeze point. It is limited to those two fluids on its four scales.
A pen-style digital Brix refractometer with a wide range and fast readings that rinses clean under a faucet. The listing names both PEN-PRO and PEN-Harvest, so confirm the exact variant.

A pen-style digital refractometer that reads urine specific gravity in a couple of seconds, with temperature compensation and a washable prism head. It reads specific gravity only, so it will not do sugar or salinity work.
A compact digital Brix refractometer for readings both indoors and outdoors across a wide percent range. The listing gives few details, so accuracy and power are not stated.
A water-resistant handheld Brix meter where temperature compensation is done by hand. It suits users who calibrate with water before use and want a no-power instrument.
A digital handheld refractometer from Misco for Brix and PG readings, described as laboratory precision in a palm sized body. The listing is thin: no measuring range, accuracy figure or sample size is given.
