I didn't expect a lot at this price point. But darned if I can find any flaws in this multi meter so far. I got this primarily to test battery voltage, circuit continuity, etc. Maybe the more expensive ones are tougher? Maybe? I just can't see spending more. This does everything I need and more, and it does it perfectly. It comes with a nice case, two sets of leads (pointed probes and alligator clips), and batteries. The display is large and clear. I'm a happy customer.

I’ve had this multimeter for over a year now. It’s gotten a fair amount of use as a DIYer with my small camper and my astronomy hobby. I’ve built my own 12v astronomy gear power supply with 110v AC and 12v 100ah AGM batter with automatic switching, boost converters and various fused ports. Having a good, accurate multimeter was essential and this one fit the bill perfectly.I really like how well everything packs into the included carrying case. Also having the alligator clips as part of the set is very convenient. Additionally the wiring used in the leads is quite robust and show last a long time. One feature I didn’t think I would use much but I use all the time is the integrated stand.The only negative I can think of is the amount of time before the unit goes into sleep mode/battery save mode, it goes to sleep a little too soon for my tastes. This obviously does not impact the accuracy of the unit or the value for money of this unit, I realize I’m being nit-picky but that’s the only negative I have come across with this unit, if you can even call it a negative.I also have to applaud Crenova’s customer support. It reached out them (after the warranty period of 1 year) as I could not get the unit to measure voltage, AC or DC. They responded back very quickly asking more questions about the problem. As it turns out (I hate to admit it) it was completely user error, I had thr leads incorrectly plugged in. Regardless, customer support was very quick to respond and even refrained at making fun of me for such a rookie mistake.I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to any other DIYer out there.

Works fine

The meter is a great value. The 2 types of leads and case makes it very useful and easy to use. I really like it. The display is easy to read.

I am a weekend hobbyist, not an electronics professional, so I ordered with the expectation of only occasional "light" usage. This unit is replacing (finally) a very old analog multimeter that I had for decades, and I finally decided to get a digital unit but didn't want to spend hundreds for a mainstream "pro" brand. I haven't had this unit long enough to thoroughly test it, and so far I just tested voltage across the leads of a questionable LiFeP04 battery which was underperforming. It was a relief to see an exact digital reading instead of trying to interpret an approximate voltage from a needle spanning multiple scales.The display is easy to read; even easier with the backlit feature.The unit itself is fairly ruggedized and easy to grip in the hands, plus it has a kickstand feature.The unit came with not one, but two sets of leads, which seem to be of good quality. The test probes are insulated. The alligator clips already came in handy as well.The zippered case to contain everything is a bonus looks great, is easy to also grab with one hand, and offers protection to the instrument inside. I'm not sure if it's completely waterproof, but definintely splashproof.As long as this unit offers longevity, I think it offers great value for the dollar and is worthy of consideration.Finally, shipping was fast and the product arrived in perfect condition.

Fantastic! If there's anything I would change, it would be a snap on battery access panel to make it easier to remove the batteries after use since I don't use it often. Never leave your batteries installed if you're an infrequent user. I love this little thing.... and you get a case too! Puts a Fluke to shame. Great value!

Full disclosure, I ordered this in a fit of pique at my 3 function bottom end multimeter when I wanted to check some wire continuity and realized I couldn't. A couple hours later I told myself I didn't need another tool I'd not use terribly often and I tried to cancel it. Rec'd email stating shipment was already in progress. That was late on a Saturday night, I had it Monday morning. Intended to just return it.... But when I actually opened it, wow. Now this multimeter isn't that much more than I paid for the most basic unit at a hardware store, but it blows my old one out of the water in functionality. It's also auto range which is super useful if you don't know exactly what your range is and I rarely do. It has actual instructions with it, not just a website to go try to find them on. It comes with a set of alligator clamp leads in addition to the probe style leads, the port plugins on all of them have a nice snug little storage cap so no more worries about schmeg getting down into the ports. The terminal probes actually have protective caps, useful if you tend to reach for things blindly, those things hurt under a fingernail. A sturdy little zippered case to keep it all together, with a mesh inner pocket that'll keep those instructions from wandering away. And it actually had a nine volt battery with it, making it truly ready to go out of the box. It's probably more versatile than I'll ever need - but I have zero fear that I will need it to do something it cannot. No WAY I'm returning this, already donated the 3 function to a thrift shop.
