Difficult to understand but I am not an electrician
Great device and I am not an electrician, the more I read the instructions the more I got confused, but it did the job in hand, again made in China, do we make anything in Britain anymore? Good value for money, well built device, nice bag and compacked box to keep it in. It has a very clear display. Handy size.

OK for DIY/home use and wide range of features
Autoranging, capacitance measurement and frequency/duty cycle all essential to me as well as normal VIR features. Temp measurement was a bonus. Works well and probes are comfortable to use. Display is clear to read but turning on backlight requires fiddly long press on the hold button.Niggles:autoranging is slow on resistance&capacitance measurement but livable.continuity test has to be activated on resistance range - as a frequently used function would have liked single press.auto switch off is annoying 3 beep reminder then shutdown - even if meter is measuring? - seems like a bug to me.has a (bipolar) transistor tester but its inscrutable to me at the moment-not intuitive.Would be wary of using meter at high currents (> a few amps)Good value home use meter but not pro level. Does what is says so no serious complaints.good for general DIY use but not pro use

Excellent value & functionality
This is a fantastic multimeter for the price. Besides the usual volt/current/resistance, it can also measure frequency, duty cycle, capacitance and the hFE of transistors, which as an electronics design engineer is very useful to me. It can also measure temperature, which will be the ambient temperature of the meter if no probe is connected, while plugging in the supplied wire-ended thermocouple probe allows you to measure the spot temperature of equipment, components or even your cup of tea! It has other useful features such as reading hold, so you can freeze the reading at times when it is difficult to probe and read the meter at the same time, and it has a max/min function to show the highest or lowest reading during the measurement time, and a beeper for easy continuity testing. It is possible to zero the meter to take relative readings or to correct for lead resistance or capacitance. Checking the meter reading against a calibrated supply and a variety of fixed resistors and capacitors show it to be plenty accurate enough for anything you are likely to be using a multimeter to measure. Mechanically it seems robust, and the supplied leads are as good as any other multimeter I have used.

Not the best but..
It appears to do its job, but the price reflects the quality. The support for staying upright is very flimsy. Whenever you turn the knob to choose a function, it beeps. The screen light turns off by itself, even when you're using the multimeter. The clamps are almost unusable.On the other hand even more expensive ones like Fluke have bad reviews.

Versatile
Easy to use and versatile instrument. Even measures temperature. I bought it for its ability to measure inductance, but it can so much more. Hard to fault at the price.

Beware title says max capacitance 2000uF - Acutally less then 1000uF. Very slow auto ranging
Bought this multi-meter as I wanted one that would test larger capacitors than my current old one.Product description says "Maximum Reading up to 5999 and 2000uF". There is also a graphic in the description that shows 600uF. Which is contradictory. However, I can confirm that the graphic is closer to the truth.I was able to test a cap that was 613uF but 1000uF gave implausible reading. I expect that the limit is not much more than 613uF.Another annoyance is that you have to rely on the auto ranging for most of the functions (Ohms, Capacitance Volts etc) and it is really slow. So slow that you will just crave a manual meter that lets you click the dial to the range you want.Shame, I was expecting good things as I had also bought the Proster BM4070 LCR component tester and this is very good for testing capacitors, inductors, diodes and resistors and does what it says on the tin. That will test up to 2000uF and no silly slow auto ranging. So that is the one to get if you want to test caps and inductors (that one is not a multi meter though only a component tester).As I wanted a multi meter that would do at least 2000uF I sent it back.
