I'm comparing this meter to a $500 meter and I can honestly say unless you're a field technician working for some sort of utility who will be dropping their meter, bumping it into stuff and subjecting it to much abuse there's no reason to be fleeced anymore by the big boy on the block. Also for the price of this meter you could afford to blow one up and buy another for the price of the lowest priced Fluke available (which is NOT the quality of the 289; which is a "professional" meter). I hope this review helps a person or two. I was really skittish about spitting out the "yellow lemonade" of the big brand for this relatively unknown but I hope the manufacturer keeps this up because they've got a winning combination on their hands with price point vs quality. The accuracy is as good as the Fluke, the speed to update is very slightly less and the leads are plastic not silicone. I've purposefully used the plastic leads instead of the Fluke silicone ones I have just to test the unit "as is" and while less convenient than the silicone leads I can live with them and I'll save my silicone leads for when I need them inside a vertical panel box full of wires and other tangle hazards rather than my lab workbench where I can comfortably route the cables out of the way. Hopefully this baby will keep serving me for a long while. If you do enough experimenting and research you'll subject your meter to electrical abuse eventually. Paying more than the cost of a good oscilloscope just for a multi meter in this day is just down right ridiculous unless you're in very specific lines of work. I'll update this review sometime in the future after more adventures in Mr. Ohm's playground. Hopefully I'll still be as pleased as I am today.
PS: I treat my equipment well. Any abuse my equipment suffers is in the line of duty due to the nature of my work. If you are new to meters take the time to study, learn and experiment safely at low voltages and currents before moving up. READ the MANUAL and follow DUTY CYCLE WARNINGS! If you want to "dive right in" buy a $10 meter and expect to blow it up :-) Electronics is a beautiful thing, but electricity is unforgiving. Also you can't buy a new life!
Sturdy, decent build with nice features. 20000 count is attractive (it worked on me) but be aware that very few devices have the precision and the accuracy to back up that many digits on the readout. They usualy are "precision" desktop devices from major brands (e.g. HP, Agilent, etc.) and cost more than ten times the price of this little Uni-T. Look at the specifications and do the math. And given the unestablished nature of the brand, take the specs with a bit of salt, too. Also, keep in mind that the device is not calibrated formaly, and therefore you can only count of the QC of the manufacturer. All in all, look at the indicated value with a certain indulgence as you should anyway, for any device in this price range!
After these caveats, why 5 starts after all? Because the whole package - device plus price, placed in the context of the competition, is a good deal. At 45-50$, it's a decent build with nice features: autoscale that works ok, decent precision (specs are not bad! Do a bit of comparison with other manuf., weigh the brands and still this is a good choice), freq. and capacity measurements, mV and uA scales, relative measurements. Measurement speed (display update speed: ~3Hz I'd say) could be higher, but it works ok. The computer connection is DB9 serial port based, which you can hardly find on current desktops (let alone laptops). Didn't find a partiicular need for it so it doesn;t bother me, but if you plan on using it, think usb/serial adapter or know that you still have a serial port somewhere.
At 50$ you can hardly find better.
The highest voltage I've used this on has been 208VAC and made sure I had on a pair of leather gloves just in case it could not handle line voltage. It is common for me to work with 480VAC so until it proves itself reliable I will be wearing full arc flash when testing it with higher voltages testing frequency on generators and such. When I am done ringing it out I will update this review accordingly. But so far frequency, voltage, ma ac/dc, mv ac/dc, and resistance has been quite accurate when put side by side with my yellow meter.
If this DMM is in your desirable price range, don't hesitate to make the purchase. I do a lot of work with generators and PLC's so I always feel assured the measurements the yellow meter gives me......BUT this meter has not given me any reason YET to not trust it.
Top reviews from other countries
I checked other more expensive meters but decided on the UT61E because it is a great bench meter for the electronic hobbyist.
No need to have a $400 meter just sitting around collecting dust.
The speed of the display is very quick and I am impressed with accuracy when checking volts, current, ohms and capacitance measurements,.
This meter does not have auto power off or back light capabilities but that is not a big issue for me. There are sites on the Web that show how to add back light and auto power off capability if so desired. One of the reviews showed that when the meter is set to read low resistance and the meter leads are quickly and repeatedly shorted together, the audible beep does not always sound. My leads did not have this problem.
The one feature I liked is the hold feature where you hold down the 'hold' button, make a reading without having to look at the meter and when the meter beeps again, you have captured the reading.
So for the price of this meter , $50 USD, I am very satisfied with what it can do.
This review talks about the feature at the 1:04:25 mark (and is a very useful and thorough review in general if you're looking for a multimeter in this price range): [...]
Pros:
Solid construction.
Rotary knob feels really nice.
Accurate, reads the voltage bang on compared with my oscilloscope.
Rubber protrusions keep the meter in place nicely, even when upright using the stand and turning the dial or pressing button.
Has auto-hold function (hold down the hold button)
Cons:
Probes are not great, even with light sanding, poor results when using Continuity test mode. I swapped it with some other probes and the meter itself does a fine job on the continuity with the replacement probes (Extech)
Display update speed of the actual numbers is slower then expected, but this is a minor complaint.
After researching a lot on a budget digital multimeter (DMM) I found very good reviews about this item, also there are some people that have made modifications to it to add a backlight, auto shut off, and other things that come integrated but are not implemented. So if you like to hack electronics, then this is a must have tool in your arsenal and you can hack it too if you want.
I haven't used it to its full potential, but so far it has been a good tool for my uses that sometimes include fixing SMD boards and common electronics.
Please look around the net to find intensive reviews about this digital multimeter. you wont be disappointed. and at around 50 dollars is not expensive for the capabilities it has.
