List of multimeter (DMM) reviews

Thank you!

I added more indexes to the multimeter table, now it is possible to select from a specific price category or a index of all meters with full current measurements (i.e. from uA to A in AC and DC with no missing ranges).

I am open for other index criteria (It is fairly easy to implements).

Remember it is possible to sort the index on any column.

HKJ, I often see in your DMM reviews the comment: “burden voltage is too high”. Please explain what “burden voltage” is, and what the consequences are when it is too high. Thanks.

Burden voltage is how many volts you loose across the meter when measuring current. Some meters can have up to 2V, this means if you have a 6V supply feeding a circuit, the circuit would only get 4 volt when you add the ammeter. This basically makes the measurement useless.
It is always the high mA range that is most problematic, especially on 6000 count meters.
The way around it is to use the A range instead and accept the lower resolution.

10 multimeters more in about two months, now I have 30 multimeters in the list and I have more in queue.

Awesome list! Thanks!

Came across this not too expensive DMM with Bluetooth connectivity:
OWON B35T

Gearbest seems to be out of stock at the moment, but you can find them on AliExpress as well.

Looking through some youtube videos, the mobile phone app seems nicer and more useful than my Southwire one.

HKJ, I know you have plenty of DMMs waiting to be reviewed already, but if you ever need one more…. :slight_smile:

I need a clamp meter for measuring tailcap current. Is the UNI-T UT210D or the Mustool X1 better?

Which other brands are recommended for cheap but good clamp meters?

A very common meter for this is the UT210E

Would you like to review the odd Aneng AN888s Bench DMM+BlueTooth speaker +Alaram Clock? It is on CNY sale at Bangood for $62.

I have looked at it a couple of times and could not really decide if I wanted to review it.

I understand. A comprehensive DMM review is a huge amount of work.

The hand held AN870 has very similar measurement specifications at 1/3 the price.
