Looking for a new Hygrometer, what's everyone like?

I'm tired of using the probe I have now, a two prong multi-meter.. I've been trying to find something that has a single probe and measures moisture content and perhaps other things. Digital. The Doc. Meter stake type one seems okay, I'm just wondering what is favored by others. 
Thanks for your time.

I've been using an IR thermometer.      It gives me an ambient humidity reading.  I bet it's super accurate, too.

If you are looking for something simple to check moisture content in your containers, this is the one I have been using for several years. Moisture is measured on a 1 to 10 scale, I keep my stuff in the 4 to 7 range, no problems.

I definitely was eyeballing this one on Amazon, as they didn't have the Doc Meter version.. I'd love something that measures others things as well, and was hoping for something that could actually provide a %, as I will be using this with other substrates as well. 
Either way, great to know that one is good.. It's cheap enough to just hand off to my son if I get a better one.

Gotta say.. Menards is hard to beat. I picked up that RapidTest moisture meter for 7.99 last night.. The ph version was next to it for the same price. They are also carrying the ph/fertility/temp wired probe one as well, for about 22$. I'm still very open to, and interested in, more specific testers that can give actual percentages or other adds.
