I will state outright that I am not really leveraging the ability of using the all functions to be super precise such as Fluke multi meters( but its also costs only a fraction of what a similar fluke does).
i do a fair amount of electrical work and electronics troubleshooting. A quality multimeter is a mainstay tool in my line of work, so when I saw the price within my Budget i grabbed it.
Overall, it seems to be very well made, and provides all of the testing / verification measurements that I utilize on a daily basis. I probably need to spend some time reading up on various scenarios that would make using the all feature more efficient or easier, but, for the time being, I continue to leverage the probes for all my readings.
Thus far, I have had no issues with accuracy or functionality. A comparable Fluke unit would cost close 5x as much, and, for semi-pro or the DIY space, there is no need to go all out. I think this is a great step-up option for someone that needs a little more than a traditional digital multimeter, but not yet ready to break the bank on a professional industrial Fluke meter.
For ~$39 CDN (current price), it is hard to go wrong. If you need a step-up from a basic multimeter, this is definitely worth your consideration as it does Have 6000 true RMS.
