I have an older version that works fairly well. I used it to pass
emissions testing and it was accurate enough for that. I did have to
watch moisture buildup on the little plastic part that the flow passes
by as it would start to give erroneous readings if you didn't wipe it
off regularly. Maybe the newer versions don't have this problem.
