I have this one and it works quite well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071RF6B2Y

I compared it with a friends much more expensive device, and the results were within 5% of each other.

None on Amazon appear to have overall high ratings.

There's probably opportunity in the space for someone who can create an effective, reasonably-priced model.

Agreed. I was concerned about ordering mine based on the reviews, but after looking at a lot of reviews, it is because people didn't read the manual(or, couldn't understand it's Chinglish). The actual product itself works well though, and the readings were within a few percent of my friends Fluke 985(~$5k particle counter - because he is a HVAC professional).
