Easypet® 3

Knowing this brand, I expected it would bring promising and consistent results. However, we were disappointed with how un-natural it feels to pipette volumes in and out.

Summary

The Good

The pipette is extremely light making it easy to handle

The Bad

Pressing the button quickly twice does the opposite of the cone, thereby making it confusing when you want precise volumes

The Bottom Line

If you must pipette every day, the weight of this makes it extremely comfortable. However, the quick release sprays liquids everywhere thereby making it very messy and easy to contaminate other things.
