Hi Jackie.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll be getting a caretech model,
though I know one of them I was told costs hundreds of pounds,
certainly more than I would be willing to spend. £70 sounds pritty
good however, especially if its ultra small as I love compact
gagets. I'll be at sight village in July, I'll probably take a look
then and see what is available.
All the best and thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Ibrahim
I have three, and believe me when I tell you I use them all. I
know you don't like the Cobolt detector, so I'll tell you what I
can about the other two. These are the Colortest 2000 and
Colorino, both from Caretec. I love these two, particularly the
Colorino, as it is nice and small. The Colortest has lots of
other features including games, clock, alarm and system info. I
don't know how much it costs as I was given it. The Colorino must
have cost me about £70, but I bought it a few years ago now. This
one goes everywhere with me as it's small, and acts as a light
probe as well. I highly rate the Caretec probes, but others may offer
you further
suggestions or opinions on their findings too.

Hi Everyone.
I'm vaguely interested in buying a colour probe to help with
sorting the washing, matching clothing etc. I've tried and
dislike the Cobolt model, so I was wondering if anyone could give
me an idea as to what else is available. I believe Caretech
models are good so information on these would be appreciated as
well as their approximate costs. All the best, Ibrahim.
