  • Great cheap meter
Style: Classic
I have a $500 Fluke 87V and I never use it anymore because this meter is so amazing! I am an industrial mechanic so I troubleshoot lots of electrical problems, 24V sensors, PLC I/O, heaters, pumps, 480V motors, 120V residential wiring, etc. This thing is accurate enough and is great for troubleshooting, plus it's so cheap. The only things I don't like: it doesn't have a backlight and sometimes I have to bang the batteries to get it to turn on. I even once accidentally tried to ohm a live circuit (dumb electrician ran power from another room past all the breakers into the room I was working in), and it still worked with no need to replace a fuse. I definitely recommend this unless you're doing something extremely accurate. ... show more

  • Great meter but probably should have spent a little more
Style: Upgraded Model
The prices of multimeters are so competitive that you can get more features for your money with just a few dollars more. This meter is right on the level of spend a little more if you really need it. It looks great and works great but not enough to keep you from saying I should have shopped around.

  • Great meter for the price
Style: Classic
This is what I recommend to all diy homeowners who may need to measure larger (over ten) amp loads safely. I actually only bought it for the clamp ammeter since I've got 3 professional grade multimeters for daily use, but I find myself using this one more unless I need one of the others for a specific reason. ... show more

  • Surprisingly decent
I needed a few cheap meters to measure efficiency of an LED driver (i.e. power in versus power out). I didn't need them to be very accurate, they just had to agree with each other. I bought three, and two of them measured almost exactly the same values, but one was a little bit off (but still not bad). I was expecting much worse for the price, but I can't fault these as cheap meters. The internal construction is fine. Nothing jumps out at me as being badly built or hazardous. Even the packaging is nicer than I thought it'd be, and the rubber bumper is completely removable. The rotary dial feels nice and clicky. And it has a backlight at THIS price point? Wow. There was clearly some thought put into the design. These are a fantastic addition to a homeowner's tool kit. They're perfect for measuring things like batteries and power supplies where you don't need an ultra high accuracy reading. Professionals could even use one of these as a backup, but it won't replace a Fluke. ... show more

  • Testing the Accuracy, and Thoughts
I am a professional electronics calibrator. I got curious on how accurate this meter is, so I ran a few tests on each range to see how accurate this meter is. I will also give my thoughts on this at the end. TL;DR: The multimeter I received from this is approx. 0.075% accurate for DCV, 4.3% accurate for ACV (@1kHz), 1.1% for resistance, and 0.34% accurate for DCA. This is sufficient for hobby electronics, though I would be careful around the lower ranges for ACV. So on to the meaty portion of this review. As stated above, I got curious to see how accurate this meter is. I went into this not suspecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by most tests. To start off, let's talk DC voltage. To start off, the calibrator I used for this has an error of 0.005%, and usually goes more positive than negative (IE, at 1mV will read 1.005mV instead of 99.995mV). I put the meter in the 200mVDC range and tested it with 1mV, 10mV, 50mV and 100mV and found it to be fairly consistently -0.2% off, reading 0.9mV, 9.98mV, 49.9mV and 99.8mV respectively. At the 2VDC (aka 2000mVDC as listed on the device), I found it to be roughly 0.1% off on average, reading 999mV for 1V and 1499mV for 1.5V. At the 20V range is where I found the best accuracy, with each test point of 5V, 10V and 15V reading exactly as inputted. Results were similar for the 200V range, where I got 50V exactly, 100V exactly, 149.9V then 189.9V. At the 500V range I found it to be the least accurate, the worst being 483V at 485V, which is still 0.5% and is still pretty excellent. Thoughts on DCV: Not really surprised, as DC tends to be easy to get accurate results for. As suspected, higher ranges are less accurate, but this is fairly standard for multimeters unless you have one made specifically for high ranges. ACV is next up. I used a standard 1kHz for each voltage. Before I start, please note that AC can be very hard to read accurately especially at lower ranges. This is typical even for high accuracy multimeters. I started with 200VAC, and tested at 1Vrms, 5Vrms, 50Vrms, then 100Vrms, with results at 1.15Vrms for 1V, 4.4Vrms for 5V, 48.9Vrms for 50v and exactly 100Vrms for 100V. For 500VAC, I tested it at 450Vrms, and received a reading of 454Vrms. As a bonus, I tested 120VAC at 60Hz, which is US wall power and received a reading of 120.0Vrms exactly. Thoughts on AC: The worst accuracy on this multimeter so far, with some voltages being up to +15% off. That said, the ones that were off the most were low voltages on medium/high ranges. This meter was not made to test AC for lower voltages, though. For testing something like 120V@60Hz, which is typical US wall power, it should work perfectly fine. Next, resistance. I tested 1, 5, 10 then 15 for each respective range and magnitude -- IE for 2000ohm range, I tested 100, 500, 1000 then 1500. For 200k, it would be 10k, 50k, 100k, then 150k. For the sake of limiting the shear size of this review, long story short, I found resistance to be approx. -0.2% off on average for each range. The worst range I found so far was 200MOhm, with each reading being roughly -1.5% off instead. Thoughts on resistance: Probably going to be the most used feature of this meter for most people, and it works fine. Not much else to say on this. DC amps. Like DCV, DCA is pretty easy to get an accurate reading for most multimeters, and I found it to be no different here. At the 2000uA range, I used 1mA and 1.5mA, finding it to read 1004uA for 1mA and 1506uA for 1.5mA, which is pretty consistently +0.4%. For the 20mA range, I read 9.99mA and 14.99mA, both of which are -0.1% or smaller. 200mA found similar results but with -0.2% instead: 49.9mA and 99.8mA. For the 10A range, I tested it at 1, 5 then 9A, with results being 1.01A, 5.04A and 9.1A, which is an average of +0.63%. Thoughts on DCA: Consistent with DCV, read pretty accurate with the worst being the higher ranges. Overall thoughts: This isn't a super highly accurate multimeter, but that's okay. The accuracy is good for pretty much everything that an 'everyman' would need it for. It's more than satisfactory for hobby electronics, and can do home electrical test/repair with good accuracy. 99.9% of people will not need it for more than that. If you are part of the 0.1% who needs accuracy less than 0.2%, then I'm sorry, you're going to have to spend the money on something made for that. Pros: -DCV, DCA, Resistance and mid/high range ACV accurate enough for most people -Backlit LCD screen. You have no idea how many professional meters don't have this. It's annoying. -Large amount of ranges for each setting (Except ACV). -Small/Light. Can fit in my pocket. -Hold button is great. Cons: -Kickstand is terrible. It's too narrow, too short, and too thin. It only lifts it up to an angle of like 20 degrees, which is awful compared to something like a Fluke 77IV which brings it up to 75 to 80 degrees. Additionally, it's flimsy and feels like any amount of weight on it will break it off. To be honest, I would rather not have a kickstand at all over having this. -Manual ranging. Yeah, I know, it clearly states it's manual ranging. That's fine, and I don't give it too many negative marks for this. -High resistance leads. The leads that come with the meter had 1.5 ohms of resistance, which is awful. I'm not sure if it's the leads I got, or if they're all like this, but I would HIGHLY recommend getting a separate pair of leads to use with this. -ACV ranges are "too high" -- there isn't really a good way to read lower ACV values on this meter. Your choices are 200VAC or 500VAC, which are both wildly inaccurate for low AC voltages. I can see this being a slight problem for hobby electronics. -No AC amp testing. Again, this isn't advertised as having AC amp capability, so this isn't a 'real' con. Overall thoughts: I would personally highly recommend this multimeter for hobby electronics techs and DIY repair, and maybe even for electricians to be honest. Every range (barring low AC) is accurate, and it can do pretty much everything you ask it to. The low price tag is just another benefit. This review does not include how much abuse this meter will take, though, so keep that in mind. Bonus test: I read the diode test/continuity check setting and found it to output 3.04VDC on a Fluke 77IV multimeter. ... show more

  • Good as you're going to get for the price
As we all know, Multimeters are the kind of thing where you can go with a $5 Analog, up to $500 Flukes. No, you AREN'T getting a $500 Fluke here. If your job depends on this tool, you need to look elsewhere. If you are a hobbyist however, this is for you. I purchased this to teach my 8-year-old son how to work with basic small electronics and some basic electric safety measures. Leads are pretty nice but do have some minor difficulty where they interface with the actual unit. It's easy for them to become every-so-slightly unplugged, which will result in the meter itself looking faulty (dropping out), when in fact it's just the leads not seated well. Finally, the batteries are NOT EASILY changed. You have to take off the entire back with, I assume, a tiny screwdriver, and replace the standard 9V when ready. Aside from these cons, however, this is an EXTREMELY NICE multimeter FOR THE PRICE. It's the kind of unit I could let my son use and learn with (along with adequate safety instructions), knowing that it is reasonably accurate but at the same time if he breaks it, without being upset at all since this is cheaper than even a cheap dinner date. At the same time, it is nice, accurate, and solid enough I would definitely use these for simple around-the-house tasks like checking an alternator or contunity in a lower voltage appliance. ... show more
