I know it really hasn’t been that long since I ordered (by China shipping standards) but I’m going crazy waiting for mine.
Got mine. Works fine!
Are the batteries missing for anyone else? I wouldn’t even notice, but the manual explicitly states “please check that accessories are not missing or damaged: 1.5V AAA battery - 2 pcs”.
My Chinese is a bit rusty, so I did not notice 
.
The box I received had following contents. A clamp meter with two AAA-batteries in it, a carrying bag, two testleads, a warranty-card and a manual (both in Chinese). Will contact BG about the latter.
My manual was in English too. No batteries though.
Primary batteries not installed in equipment are, in general, no longer permitted in International Postal shipments. So either the shipper removes them, or often, the Postal Authorities do it for them!
Please add me to the list.
Thanks,
Mike
Should I order this now or wait until the Chinese new year is over?
I did suggest vendor to dump those cheap AAA batteries in exchange for faster delivery. I thought the idea was dropped due to extra manpower that had to be put in to get the job done.

Would you guys recommend me this as my first DMM?
I’m shopping for a reasonably priced multimeter and this seems great since I can also use it for flashlight current measurements.
I don’t need anything fancy, just a hobby DMM for various electronics projects I’d like to get into and around house stuff.
While I don’t have mine yet (patience is not one of my virtues) from what I can tell this is a great starter meter. I’m adding it to a circa 1987 Radio-Shack Micronta and a Fluke model 116/322 set This one gets me clamp on DC current measurements and a much higher DC current range than my HVAC specialty Fluke has. For the price, it is hard to go wrong. with this meter.
I just went to the product description page (after checking the tracking AGAIN) can anyone who has this model confirm if it has a frequency or temperature mode? The UT210D has accuracies listed for Frequency and temperature, where the UT210E does not. But the ‘standard accessories’ lists a “point contact temperature probe” in addition to the test leads. For the record - I will be happy either way, just trying to clarify.
Thanks!
And my understanding is it handles non-curent measurements just as fine at the same resolution as other “normal” UNI-T DMMs?
According to the product description, it should. AC and DC Voltage, Resistance / Continuity, Capacitance, Diode forward voltage are all there.
Also listed are NCV, which I think is a Non Contact Voltage sensor, meaning that you can wave it near a wire and it beeps or displays something if voltage is present and “V.F.C.” which I have no idea what it is.
correct.
From uni.-t site V.F.C function is for measuring signal at variable frequency
I copy-pasted the specs of the UT210E plus the specs for an other decent UNI-T meter costing $27.43 (Fasttech)
It looks like it does the other functions well enough to use it as a general multimeter.

Thanks djozz, you are obviously smarter than I am (check the manufacturers website, not the supplier - why didn’t I think of that! :party: (< dunce cap, not party cap.))
I have now pulled the user manual and found that this meter does not appear to measure frequency or temperature. I’m ok with this, as I have another meter that does this for me, but if it is important to you for what you need it to do, this is the wrong meter.
Just seeing this now.
Is this buy still active?
Eehhm, I must admit that I did not copy the manufacturer's website, but I took one description from Gearbest, the other from Fasttech 
Rereading your post, I don’t know where I got the idea that you pulled it from the Manufacturer site. But your post DID make me go there, so I STILL think you are smarter than me! (Not to mention all the OTHER stuff you have posted.)
ANYway, BangGood’s current description of this meter is copy pasted below:
*Emphasis mine
The description does claim Frequency and Temp, probably because the specs in the table below have entries for the UT210D which DOES have Freq. and Temp. but has a different current range (2A/20A/100A for the 210E and 20A/200A for the 210D).
Once I get mine, I will try to do a mini review and post it to BangGood and bring this to their attention, I think this is a case of human error and NOT anything nefarious. It could be confusing to someone was confusing to me until I looked HARD at the table and pulled the manual.
Thank you for pointing me to an English manual. BG has not responded (yet) to my question about the Chinese manual I got.
