5 out of 5 stars Very good multimeter for it's price   March 4, 2007

In general, this is a great device for this cost range. It has all features required for daily usage. Description of multimeter can be found in internet. Here are some specific features:

- In any range two terminals to be used are illuminated with red LEDs (see foto). LED is swithed off when lead is pushed into terminal. If lead is pushed into wrong terminal for this range then correct terminal blinks and beeps.
- Automatic range; manual range selection with button.
- Wide set of ranges, including 400.0 mV and 400.0 uA
- Relative measurements and display hold. White backlight (5 seconds)
- Resettable fuse for current ranges (non-resettable for 10A range)
- Display data refresh: 3 per second.

Imperfection:

- Frequency measurement accuracy is low: 2%
- In accordance with manual, package must contain "Special Multi-Function socket" (required for hFE measurement). There was no such device in my package.



5 out of 5 stars Insuperable Multimeter quality at this price range...   November 7, 2007

Excellent multimeter, with nice accuracy for this price... Need more accuracy?? go for a fluke at several hundreds $$$ more... Autoranging it's a very nice option for fast readings between several ranges... It doesn't feel cheap at all, and i liked the green color... Large and clear readout, with a nice backlight option... In opposite with another reviewer, i got the "multi-function socket" for hFE measurement... Very happy with the device... Works with 3 AAA batteries (not supplied)...


5 out of 5 stars Very capable meter at a great price   December 6, 2007

I've been getting back into electronics and I needed a more modern meter that has capacitance and frequency measuring abilities in addition to the usual Voltage, Amperage, Resistance, etc. I haven't shopped for a meter in about 15 years, so after reading up a bit I found this one to have all the features I needed and it was very inexpensive. The quality is good, comparing favorably with some other VOM's I have lying around. It included an adapter for measuring transistor hFE which was not mentioned in the description and is a nice bonus. The only negative is that the continuity test buzzer is pretty quiet and might be hard to hear in some environments. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this meter.

For the price, this is a great device, I would recommend it to a friend.
My only complainant is, I can't figure out how to make the back light stay on for working at night.
Bought this multimeter for simple measurements and am very pleased. The device is slightly thicker than I was expecting, however I wouldn't go so far to say that it's clumsy. The accuracy is about a 100th of a volt which is fine for what I need. The device seems to be very sturdy.



5 out of 5 stars my first multimeter so I was unsure, but I LOVE IT   February 6, 2010

I was a little unsure what to look for in a multimeter but this seemed to have a lot of features. I thought because of the price it might not be as good as others. It seems to do everything I could ask and more. Don't let the price fool you, it is a great multimeter. I would def. buy it again.
