DM130B Multimeter, 4000 Counts, Auto-Ranging, Capacitance Testing | Measures AC/DC Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance, NCV, 1.5V/9V/12V Battery Modes, CAT III 600V

I have had a lot of cheap multimeters. They were hard to read and harder to really understand the settings and I never could figure them out the 3-4 times a year I might need to use one. This meter is much better and perfect for me for basic work around the house. As my first use for this meter, I wanted to test a AC unit capacitor to see if it was bad. This meter has that setting and worked great confirming it was bad, so I replaced the capacitor myself for $20 bucks vs a $200+ AC repairman! The meter is good size, about the size of your hand. Display is large and easy to read. Backlight display is really bright. It has a "contact" voltage setting. Hold it to an outlet/switch or power cord and it will show bars if it detects power. Can test 120 volts, car battery or quickly all small battery sizes. Also has a beeper for test continuity/broken wires etc. . To me it has everything the "average joe homeowner" needs, is not overly complex and easy to understand settings. I thought about spending more, but after getting this for under $20 bucks, this was the best decision and best value. Does everything I will ever need with easy to read and understand settings. There are a lot of reviews on YT that show you have to use this model and shows it has good accuracy as well. I am happy with it.

Works great and easy to use. Was worried about old car battery and it showed it is still good, saving me cost of buying new battery.

I already own a professional multimeter and other test equipment that are kept on the workbench for electronic projects. This purchase is a backup that has the basic functions at a good price. It is sufficiently compact to fit in a small toolbox with other essentials. The display is easy to read. My only criticism is the test leads seem a little flimsy and require some force and twisting to fully place in the sockets. Not a problem for me because I have lots of extra high quality test leads. A bit of advice: I tossed the batteries that come with the meter. They are zinc-oxide type and will not last even in storage, and might even leak in the battery compartment. Use good alkaline batteries instead.

This has turned out to be an excellent tool for my audio restoration efforts. It seems to be quite accurate, easy to use, easy to read and offers nearly all the functions I could want or need. Great value for the money.

Works great and can measure capacitance and EMF

**Great little multimeter!** It's super easy to use, and the auto-ranging feature saves a ton of time. The NCV (non-contact voltage) function is a total game-changer for quickly checking live wires safely. It's accurate, feels durable, and easily tests everything from standard batteries to capacitance and resistance. Highly recommend it for both quick home fixes and DIY projects!

Best unit for $ vs function ...

I bought this to a place a very expensive Sears craftsman remodel I had for many years. It doesn't have all the same features but for the price I'm not complaining. Works very well. Easy to use and has separate segments for testing batteries which is the number one thing I do with it anyway.

Absolut top für den Hausgebrauch, sehr benutzerfreundlich, alle wichtigen Funktionen sind gegeben.

Fully covers my needs and really well built for a very low price. But this is coming from a hobby user so can't say anything for professional use. Would personally say this is a perfect entry level multimeter primarely because it does exactly what it needs to do for a rather small investment. The instructions are sadly entirely in German though but it hardly matters since multimeters all use about the same symbols so a quick google search and you can find perfect English guides that applies to this product.

Perfecto, oreciso e funcional.

It uses cheap AA batteries. Other multimeters use more expensive 9V batteries.
