Digital Multimeter, LOMVUM TRMS 6000 Counts Electrical Tester AC/DC Amp Ohm Voltage Tester Meter with Temperature Frequency Resistance Continuity Capacitance Diode and Transistor Test

This meter does most things that the average person needs and does it well. It does not do everything. It's not an ESR meter and it's not the most accurate capacitance meter but it will give you an idea. The frequency range is limited to about 10K so that is limited to audio and a little above. This is a multimeter, not a 'do all for everyone meter'. If you want a ESR meter, buy one. A capacitance meter, same. Frequency counter or module tester, you know what to do. I just diagnosed a switch mode power supply with mine and it worked well and for a price that is very reasonable.

This is a very good one for the money. I like to go low-budget as just a hobbyist. This is not a let-down. It is sturdy, comes with spare fuses (never needed one), and a good, firm-selecting dial. The LCD screen is large and readable. I have seen a teardown of one of these on a video and the YouTuber commented about how well built it was. I was convinced.You will have to manually pull cords out and re-plug to switch over to current testing, and there are separate plugs for vastly-different magnitudes. That has not been burdensome for me as I mostly deal with 3v3 and 5v. You don't have to do that for resistor values, which is good.Most recently I used this one for testing whether I had properly soldered some pins and it was very helpful. A good feature is detachable alligator clips that are rubber "sock" insulated. That way you can anchor it if you like to focus on adjustments, or you can detach the clips and use it like a probe.

I have owned several multimeters and this by far is the sturdiest and most functional multimeter that I have purchased to date. The price is unbelievable for everything that it does and the accessories seems to cover most bases. This is a keeper.

They say the fastest way to find something is to order another one.. yep found the old Radio Shack one immediately. But this one is way better in so many ways. I like that it can find a live wire without the probes.

I don't use multimeters regularly; however, this one was simple to use and more than adequate given the price. The instruction for changing the 20A and 600mm fuses was somewhat confusing. The instructions seem to suggest that the fuses are located in the meter's battery compartment. In reality, the user will need to strip off the device's flexible PVC protective cover; then, he or she will need to use a screwdriver to unscrew four screws which hold the case together. I have been using the device for two days. Over that time, I have blown both the 600mAmp fuse and the 20Amp fuse. This happened when the meter was setup to take an amperage reading in series, but I put the lead in parallel to the 12-volt DC source. I am happy that the fuse prevented damage to the meter; however, changing fuses is a distraction. I don’t expect that the unit would standup to heavy use. However, the occasional user will find it suitable for general electrical testing.

for the price this is a great meter. I have not yet found any major faults.

works great like the backlight on the screen

I've been using this for a while and have no problem with it at all. It is fairly accurate showing 22mA for an ideal 20mA circuit so that's super accurate. And the temperature sensing is great as well, raises up quickly and I think it's accurate... didn't check that... It also automatically turns off if you idle for too long, good for the battery but if you're using it to monitor for something longer than like 20 minutes you'll have to press some button when it starts beeping (the backlight button is pretty much the only button you can press).
