Mine works great! I'm not sure who translated the instruction manual (it obviously was not somebody fluent in the English language), but the refractometer is a fabulous piece of equipment!

You sure there's "no calibration needed?" All I read is that there is no screwdriver needed to calibrate. Instead there's a knob.

Why not just cool the water in the fridge to 65? LOL, guess I was a little slow on posting

It's a very good refractometer for the price you pay. I have had mine a few months and works great.

No, it is pre-calibrated. I bought one not that long ago and double checked it against a friends. It was dead on.

Yep, excellent refractometer. I am going to be buying one, as I just broke the one I had for 5 years.

Yep, I dropped it outside because I was trying to carry too much at once! Needless to say, I was angry.
I had my Ipod in the other hand though, so I had to protect which was more important.
