TRMS 6000 Counts Digital Multimeter with Auto-Ranging, CAT III 600V | Volt Meter with Backlit LCD, Multimeter Tester Measures Voltage, Current, Frequency, Temperature, Continuity, Capacitance

An excellent, sturdy multimeter at a very good price. I bought it as a cheap temporary replacement when my professional electronics meter gave problems and I was in a hurry to get something simple for DC voltage. On receipt I was pleasantly surprised by how well the extensive options work. As regards accuracy it meets it's specifications, at least for Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance and Temperature. I see that some other reviewers only give it four stars because of accuracy stating they would prefer something more expensive. To my my mind that is just being perverse and a bit like comparing a Ford Fiesta to an Aston Martin DB12. My very accurate professional meter cost over £650 so I am delighted with the performance of the AstroAI for less than £22.

If you are looking for a full function budget multimeter, this one is certainly worth looking at. My only small gripe with this unit, and it may not be a problem for you, is the illumination function, or backlight. Whilst it works and certainly improves clarity of the display in lower light conditions, it de-illuminates far to quickly. You press the button to use it, obviously you are looking at the unit, then you apply your probes to what ever it is you are measuring, but then the backlight turns off in about 15 secs, which may or may not be enough time to get your reading depending on how easy it is to apply the probes. I would prefer the illumination stayed on for longer, or better yet, an option to have the backlight remain on permanently. The unit is solid and feels sturdy in hand. The probes fit snuggly into the ports and are comfortable to hold. The magnet is strong enough to hang the unit if you can find something to stick it to, but if you use the magnet on back of the unit making a loop, it doesn't hold it very securely, but I do not think it is designed to be used like that. The magnet is easily removable with a Velcro strap should you wish to. The stand that extends from the back, has a small amount of give, making it slightly less rigid. I like this because should you put the unit down too hard the stand will give a little, rather than being too rigid and breaking. It is more likely to survive an accidental drop. The red silicone outer sleeve actually seems very accurately made, mine came off with a small amount of encouragement (it didn't fall off easily) and when re-fitted went back on perfectly. I do not know why you would really want to use the unit without, as it offers drop and insulating protection. The pictures are accurate and not mis leading, you get what is pictured and it looks the same as shown. I had a small issue, after contacting the seller, I received a prompt and polite reply that was eager to offer help and assistance, the Issue was resolved very swiftly. Sometimes things go wrong and how we are dealt with, can really change the whole experience. Despite my gripe, this is unit is perfect for my needs. Remembering this is a budget unit, I feel that you are getting a good product for the price point, some people have mentioned cheap construction, but lets be fair, for the price it is well made. Functionality is all there and this unit measures what is states. On top though, my interaction with this seller was friendly and helpful. I am confident that should I purchase something else from this seller and I have and issue, it will be genuinely looked into and I will be offered polite, friendly and helpful assistance (because that already happened). Friends, you can buy with confidence, in my opinion, from this seller.

My UNI-T 135C multi-meter just stopped working after two years for no apparent reason, seems a common problem with that meter after doing a bit of research online. I wanted to replace it with something similar, this one from AstroAI has all the same measurement functions except for NCV, which is a shame but this meter was half the price of the UNI-T meter and has the same reasonably fast 6000-count auto-ranging for basic Voltage, Resistance and Current measurements and nice extras like temperature and capacitance measurement. The continuity tester is not that fast but the beep is loud. There is a handy magnetic strap for fixing the meter to suitable metal surfaces so it hangs down conveniently at eye-level, but you can remove the velcro fastener if you don't need to use it. Auto-Power-Off can be disabled by holding down the Select button when turning the meter on (you'll hear three short beeps and the "APO" symbol will disappear from the display). One other thing I miss apart from NCV is that this meter doesn't display the frequency when measuring AC voltage and current, you must manually switch the dial to Hz/Duty to see this, which is not so convenient. Otherwise I think this is a perfectly good meter and certainly good value.

good piece of equipment simple to use and robust. magnetic hanger is useful

Excellent multimeter and has great functions and range settings

Does everything I need it to do. Great value at £21.

For ages I've had one of those cheap multimeters, and I really fancied something a bit more capable - this did not disappoint. I got it, the Khanka Hard Case, and the separate test leads kit all together as a gift to myself. While I might have loved to own Fluke, this one does what I need without breaking the bank! It comes with enough stuff to be immediately very good, though I prefer the test leads from the separate kit - the stock ones are fine and still come with removable tip shrouds (so you don't accidentally short between component legs so easily). The display is nice and big, and there's no problem with viewing angle. The backlight is electroluminescent or similar, so it's a good uniform blue to read off. The built-in stand is nice and steady, but it can jam sometimes when folding back in. There's an integrated magnetic strap too, which I've not had to use yet but which is very good at picking up steel grinding dust from the workbench. While the test leads are all properly shrouded for safety, you can also plug in regular 4mm banana leads if you're doing a hookup on a bench (the separate test leads kit comes with spring clip leads with stacking banana connectors, which can be really handy for certain setups). One feature I bought this specifically for is that the current measurement ranges all use separate connectors - so there's never a situation where the voltage test ports are shorted together. So long as you're methodical and always return your leads to the main input, you're unlikely to accidentally blow up fuses (or equipment). There are two separate current connections and both are separately fused; there is no unfused range. The current shunts are somewhere around 100mΩ (A connector), 1Ω (mA setting) 100Ω (µA setting).

Loads of features and seems accurate. However quite a large device compared with the old multimeter I'm replacing!

Great for the price does more than what I needed but happy it's accurate

Super outil indispensable pour la bidouille

Aun no lo uso pero parase que es muy buena calidad

Il multimetro arrivato è nuovo, sigillato e completo di accessori come in descrizione. Si presta bene ad un uso semiprofessionale e domestico. E' inoltre possibile registrare il prodotto sul sito web del produttore, estendendo così la garanzia a 3 anni. Soddisfatto. ATTENZIONE: esiste sul marketplace un' imitazione di altro brand facilmente riconoscibile per estetica e caratteristiche, assolutamente non affidabile e fornito con pinzette a coccodrillo sottodimensionate per il range di misura AC - DC 10A. Da diffidare.

Good meter with many features and accessories not usually supplied on other multimeters, transistor tester, thermometer, and magnetic hanging loop. Good backlit display, but doesnt stay illuminated for long,there may be a way of changing this, just need to look it up. Inexpensive meter, already have digital clampmeter from this manufacturer, no problems.
