Formally easy to use and works well.

Well made. As described. Works fine.

I have a $500 Fluke 87V and I never use it anymore because this meter is so amazing! I am an industrial mechanic so I troubleshoot lots of electrical problems, 24V sensors, PLC I/O, heaters, pumps, 480V motors, 120V residential wiring, etc. This thing is accurate enough and is great for troubleshooting, plus it's so cheap. The only things I don't like: it doesn't have a backlight and sometimes I have to bang the batteries to get it to turn on. I even once accidentally tried to ohm a live circuit (dumb electrician ran power from another room past all the breakers into the room I was working in), and it still worked with no need to replace a fuse. I definitely recommend this unless you're doing something extremely accurate.

Love the large display!The auto/manual featureBacklight, stand, leads, beepNegativesHaving to a button to switch between Ac and DC voltage, diode test. These are usually done in range switch.Unit is well made, has lots of features, seems to very accurate so far.Would recommendMissing alligator clips for leads.

Para el tamaño, tiene excelente desempeño y muy completo en funciones.

Good general purpose multimeter that provides a good indication for maintenance work

The pins are really sharp, I wish some kind of covers or caps were included in the box to store them safely.

Very good

Très satisfait depuis tant qu'ont chercher merci

I am a professional electronics calibrator. I got curious on how accurate this meter is, so I ran a few tests on each range to see how accurate this meter is. I will also give my thoughts on this at the end.TL;DR: The multimeter I received from this is approx. 0.075% accurate for DCV, 4.3% accurate for ACV (@1kHz), 1.1% for resistance, and 0.34% accurate for DCA. This is sufficient for hobby electronics, though I would be careful around the lower ranges for ACV.So on to the meaty portion of this review.As stated above, I got curious to see how accurate this meter is. I went into this not suspecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by most tests.To start off, let's talk DC voltage. To start off, the calibrator I used for this has an error of 0.005%, and usually goes more positive than negative (IE, at 1mV will read 1.005mV instead of 99.995mV). I put the meter in the 200mVDC range and tested it with 1mV, 10mV, 50mV and 100mV and found it to be fairly consistently -0.2% off, reading 0.9mV, 9.98mV, 49.9mV and 99.8mV respectively. At the 2VDC (aka 2000mVDC as listed on the device), I found it to be roughly 0.1% off on average, reading 999mV for 1V and 1499mV for 1.5V. At the 20V range is where I found the best accuracy, with each test point of 5V, 10V and 15V reading exactly as inputted. Results were similar for the 200V range, where I got 50V exactly, 100V exactly, 149.9V then 189.9V. At the 500V range I found it to be the least accurate, the worst being 483V at 485V, which is still 0.5% and is still pretty excellent.Thoughts on DCV: Not really surprised, as DC tends to be easy to get accurate results for. As suspected, higher ranges are less accurate, but this is fairly standard for multimeters unless you have one made specifically for high ranges.ACV is next up. I used a standard 1kHz for each voltage. Before I start, please note that AC can be very hard to read accurately especially at lower ranges. This is typical even for high accuracy multimeters. I started with 200VAC, and tested at 1Vrms, 5Vrms, 50Vrms, then 100Vrms, with results at 1.15Vrms for 1V, 4.4Vrms for 5V, 48.9Vrms for 50v and exactly 100Vrms for 100V. For 500VAC, I tested it at 450Vrms, and received a reading of 454Vrms.As a bonus, I tested 120VAC at 60Hz, which is US wall power and received a reading of 120.0Vrms exactly.Thoughts on AC: The worst accuracy on this multimeter so far, with some voltages being up to +15% off. That said, the ones that were off the most were low voltages on medium/high ranges. This meter was not made to test AC for lower voltages, though. For testing something like 120V@60Hz, which is typical US wall power, it should work perfectly fine.Next, resistance. I tested 1, 5, 10 then 15 for each respective range and magnitude -- IE for 2000ohm range, I tested 100, 500, 1000 then 1500. For 200k, it would be 10k, 50k, 100k, then 150k. For the sake of limiting the shear size of this review, long story short, I found resistance to be approx. -0.2% off on average for each range. The worst range I found so far was 200MOhm, with each reading being roughly -1.5% off instead.Thoughts on resistance: Probably going to be the most used feature of this meter for most people, and it works fine. Not much else to say on this.DC amps. Like DCV, DCA is pretty easy to get an accurate reading for most multimeters, and I found it to be no different here. At the 2000uA range, I used 1mA and 1.5mA, finding it to read 1004uA for 1mA and 1506uA for 1.5mA, which is pretty consistently +0.4%. For the 20mA range, I read 9.99mA and 14.99mA, both of which are -0.1% or smaller. 200mA found similar results but with -0.2% instead: 49.9mA and 99.8mA. For the 10A range, I tested it at 1, 5 then 9A, with results being 1.01A, 5.04A and 9.1A, which is an average of +0.63%.Thoughts on DCA: Consistent with DCV, read pretty accurate with the worst being the higher ranges.Overall thoughts: This isn't a super highly accurate multimeter, but that's okay. The accuracy is good for pretty much everything that an 'everyman' would need it for. It's more than satisfactory for hobby electronics, and can do home electrical test/repair with good accuracy. 99.9% of people will not need it for more than that. If you are part of the 0.1% who needs accuracy less than 0.2%, then I'm sorry, you're going to have to spend the money on something made for that.Pros:-DCV, DCA, Resistance and mid/high range ACV accurate enough for most people-Backlit LCD screen. You have no idea how many professional meters don't have this. It's annoying.-Large amount of ranges for each setting (Except ACV).-Small/Light. Can fit in my pocket.-Hold button is great.Cons:-Kickstand is terrible. It's too narrow, too short, and too thin. It only lifts it up to an angle of like 20 degrees, which is awful compared to something like a Fluke 77IV which brings it up to 75 to 80 degrees. Additionally, it's flimsy and feels like any amount of weight on it will break it off. To be honest, I would rather not have a kickstand at all over having this.-Manual ranging. Yeah, I know, it clearly states it's manual ranging. That's fine, and I don't give it too many negative marks for this.-High resistance leads. The leads that come with the meter had 1.5 ohms of resistance, which is awful. I'm not sure if it's the leads I got, or if they're all like this, but I would HIGHLY recommend getting a separate pair of leads to use with this.-ACV ranges are "too high" -- there isn't really a good way to read lower ACV values on this meter. Your choices are 200VAC or 500VAC, which are both wildly inaccurate for low AC voltages. I can see this being a slight problem for hobby electronics.-No AC amp testing. Again, this isn't advertised as having AC amp capability, so this isn't a 'real' con.Overall thoughts: I would personally highly recommend this multimeter for hobby electronics techs and DIY repair, and maybe even for electricians to be honest. Every range (barring low AC) is accurate, and it can do pretty much everything you ask it to. The low price tag is just another benefit. This review does not include how much abuse this meter will take, though, so keep that in mind.Bonus test: I read the diode test/continuity check setting and found it to output 3.04VDC on a Fluke 77IV multimeter.

I received my UT201 yesterday so this is an initial "impression" review with some limited testing of the features. My background is an IBEW inside wireman (electrician) of approximately 13 years, mostly commercial/industrial though with some residential. I've had multiple voltage testers and multi-meters over the years. The last 6-7 years I've been using mostly Fluke testers and meters, my primary being a Fluke T5-600.I purchased the Etekcity UT201 since I wanted an inexpensive True-RMS CLAMP meter for (the occasional) metering of wires too big to fit in the slot/jaws of my T5-600. The UT201 had, for the most part, very positive reviews on Amazon and the price could not be beat for its feature set. The 400A max is adequate for the vast majority of time I would need to check bigger wire.Anyways, out of the box, the UT201 seems to be of impressive "heft" and quality for its price. The display and markings are clear and easy to read. The two leads (black and red cables with probes) are a good length. The thickness of, and insulation on, the leads, though not up to the level of the Fluke or other more expensive testers/meters I have used, seems quite good for the price point. I would not be uncomfortable in using the meter in applications up to its rated max of 600V. Some reviews I read stated the meter other purchasers had received did NOT include a case. Mine did and the case is appropriately sized and of a decent grade material.I tested the voltage and amperage measurements of the UT201 against my Fluke T5-600. I tested the current (amps) draw of my Shop-Vac, a quartz halogen light and hairdryer (on high heat). The amps measured were virtually the same between the Fluke and UT201. I mean plus/minus 0.1 amps, which is negligible. Voltage was check at several different 120V receptacles around my house. Again the readings were virtually identical, plus/minus 0.2 volts. The only other feature I have had the opportunity to "check" is continuity. Just crossing the lead/probe tips indicated continuity (as it should), though the contact of the lead tips did not seem as "sensitive" as other meters/testers I have used. Perhaps due to the newness of the leads or type of metal used, not sure. I wouldn't deduct a star for this, maybe 1/2 a star if that was an option. Though long term it may not even turn out to be an issue.Other reviewers had "complained" about the lack of auto-ranging and auto shut-off. At this price point I do not expect auto-ranging. My unit DOES have an auto shut-off feature built in (around 15 min. of non-use) and I believe it actually beeped when it shut-off (though I was in another room at the time). User instructions were included. They were relatively clear and I believe they would be relatively easy for a new or novice user to follow. There was no UL listing on the device or in the instructions that I could find.In summary, my initial impressions of my new UT201 are very positive. I can't comment on the durability or long-term accuracy, since I only received it yesterday. It is for that reason that, as of now, I will only give it a 4-star rating. Based on what I see and my limited testing, I would definitely recommend the UT-201 to someone looking for a (very) reasonably priced, full-featured, clamp-on multimeter. If during the course of time and usage I have any significantly negative experiences with the unit I will try to update this review.
