The Hanna 9813 is the same one I use, Great unit that is quality. You would probably be happy with any of them though.

This is the one I have: http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=TEHI981504&eq=&Tp=

I like it because I can read all 3 readings (PH/PPM/Temp) at the same time. I used to have one that displayed one at a time and I had to hit the button to see another reading... I hated that. I like seeing all 3 readings at the same time.

Click to expand...

I'm not sure the exact length but I'm 5'9" and they are longer then I am tall so I'd guess they are at least 6' long.
