This is a situation where you don't need to spend a lot to get a lot. Yes, there are some really cheap, badly made MultiMeters out there. This isn't one of them - it is cheap, but pretty well made and perfect for basic needs like mine. It seems pretty sturdy, the dial has a nice positive click to it that seems well made, and I have dropped it several times with no ill-effects. I like the little pop-out stand and the probes work just fine for my simple needs. I have even used the temperature probe a few times, which I thought I would never use at all when I bought this.
It gets to a stable reading pretty fast, and the numbers are big and easy to see even if you are working somewhere awkward with it.
I am sure somebody doing far more complex work might want something fancier than this, but for contractor/automotive/handyman use, this is just perfect. It seems quite well-made and should last a long time. There is nothing crummy about this despite the low price. Probably the only thing I would change is to have a place to store all the probes integrated into the case. I just wind them around the meter and that is ok, but integrated storage would be nice.
One other tip to pass along: When I was shopping for one of these things, I was trying to figure out whether I should get a fancier MultiMeter with a built-in voltage proximity detector or get one of those stand-alone Fluke pen-shaped detectors instead. I ultimately decided to buy that little Fluke pen to test for the presence of a hot wire and get a cheaper MultiMeter, and I am glad I made that decision. The Fluke pen comes with a little blade shaped probe tip that inserts into any socket. Unlike a detector attached to the top of a MultiMeter body, the little blade will hold the pen in the socket and play a loud tone continuously while that plug has power. That makes finding the breaker easier in many cases. I also think that a voltage detector is really about keeping me safe, so I am ok paying extra for Fluke-level quality on that. But for a MultiMeter, somebody like me doesn't really need anything more than this - the extra quality and precision would be wasted on me. So if your needs are like mine, my recommendation is to get a basic MultiMeter like this rather than spending more just to get the voltage detector integrated into the MultiMeter.
The temperature probe has proven quite useful. I was not planning on using it at all, but I built a power supply and used the probe to monitor the temperature of the heat sink. I used this information to determine the appropriate time to turn a fan on and off. The diode forward voltage meter is very nice too, seems to be accurate.
This is not auto-ranging, but it is really a convenience issue. One could even argue that this is better because the response time is faster since the device does not have to adjust every time you make a measurement.
Everyone complains about the continuity beeper, and it is pretty annoying. It is not de-bounces so when you make contact with the probe the meter screeches at you for a second until is puts out a solid tone. If the designers wanted to de-bounce the continuity feature they would have had to build in extra circuity to isolate the filter from all the other measurements automatically, which is a lot like the auto ranging, which is not what this meter does, so really it makes sense that this thing is a little rough with the beep.
My one complaint is that the 200mA max current measurement setting is tied in with the regular voltage measuring socket. Usually all current measurements require the user to move the probe to a different socket, which is the case with the 10A setting on this meter. But 200mA could do plenty of damage to a lot of circuits if someone wasn't careful. So don't hook this thing up to a hot circuit and start spinning the dial, you'll short your circuit in at least one of the settings no matter how you have the probes plugged in.
But seriously you can't go wrong for 20 bucks. Big display, plenty accurate, nice little kick stand, rubber bumper all around, I am really impressed with the build when considering the price. A lot of the reviews are people comparing this to a Fluke, and that's like comparing a reliable cheap sedan to luxury german sport sedan, so don't do it. One thing I will say about comparing this to a Fluke is the plastic and rubber materials, they seem very solid, but I haven't dropped it yet so we'll see.
