Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2024I wanted a small cheap meter primarily to monitor domestic AV voltage fluctuation. Already have a 20 year old Fluke 189 but that is rather cumbersome to carry around for quick tests.
Pros
Small and light, carry case a plus
Easy to use, measures AC voltage and DC voltages up to 600V (see comments below on resistance measurement)
Compared side to side with the Fluke measuring AC 230V voltage, readings appear close, within 1V
Cons
The meter always appears to be in AUTO mode, ie no manual setting, so no way to no way to choose whether to measure voltage or resistance
Minimum AC/DC voltage that can be measured is 0.8V
If the meter detects a resistance less than 50 ohms it switches to measure continuity, effectively you can't measure resistance less than 50 ohm (last points make it not ideal things like hobby electronics, electronic circuit testing)
The Duracell batteries are not marked AAA, although they are stamped as made in China so this could be normal. Be aware however there are lots of fake Duracell batteries around, many from well known retailers, fakes have a reputation for leaking and damaging the gear they are in (so suggest to check the condition of batteries from time to time)
All in all, however, for the price, it does exactly what I wanted it for, hence the 5 star.
