I do not have a MM. I have spoken with SAI about the units performance for all parameters. The performance is quite good even compared to the lab grade certified devices/testing I am familiar with using.
I don’t need to test it myself to understand the performance. Do you dyno your new cars in lab conditions after purchase? Or do you trust that it makes as much power as the manufacturer says? What about your cellphone? Do you benchmark every piece of hardware and system capability to make sure they aren’t lying about the specifications?
How would I even be able to verify performance, it is better than anything else I can afford to compare it with. I will be sure to do some rudimentary testing with seawater at gas saturation to get an idea. When reporting results in peer reviewed articles, we just state manufacturers specifications, we can’t be expected to ground truth every bit of every measurement for every experiment.
All this talk about pricing and market strategy is interesting. Companies make choices and then customers make choices. Hope everyone can see how fortunate we are to have such great gains in cost effective testing and monitoring options for our home aquaria. If the products don’t align with ones goals, that’s fine. Impossible to make everyone happy anyhow.
All the negativity is a bit overzealous. Bringing a new device with novel technology for the application to market is quite hard. There are unknown hurdles that must get crossed cost effectively. The armchair quarterbacks are surely not speaking from experience in these matters.
Assuming it works, or that it ever gets produced, which we can’t verify either for the mindstream.
I’m well versed in bringing hardware to market. That’s how I know that “preselling” hardware and charging upfront is a great way for companies to borrow cash.
