AstroAI Multimeter 6000 Counts

Like this multimeter a lot. Does everything and more for my personal use.I do like the min/max feature particularly on car batteries when starting so you can observe the drop in voltage .I like to select switch for different functions and it feels quality . The leads are quit soft and flexible.Definitely a great addition to the work bench but I gave still kept 2 other multimeters in other tool kits but this one is quickly becoming my favourite.Remember this is my opinion only but for DIY and maybe some professional use its a nice unit at a reasonable price. Shame about not having protective case.

Very good Multimeter, has large display, Tru RMS, doesn't feel cheap like some models and does everything as advertised.

My UNI-T 135C multi-meter just stopped working after two years for no apparent reason, seems a common problem with that meter after doing a bit of research online. I wanted to replace it with something similar, this one from AstroAI has all the same measurement functions except for NCV, which is a shame but this meter was half the price of the UNI-T meter and has the same reasonably fast 6000-count auto-ranging for basic Voltage, Resistance and Current measurements and nice extras like temperature and capacitance measurement. The continuity tester is not that fast but the beep is loud. There is a handy magnetic strap for fixing the meter to suitable metal surfaces so it hangs down conveniently at eye-level, but you can remove the velcro fastener if you don't need to use it. Auto-Power-Off can be disabled by holding down the Select button when turning the meter on (you'll hear three short beeps and the "APO" symbol will disappear from the display). One other thing I miss apart from NCV is that this meter doesn't display the frequency when measuring AC voltage and current, you must manually switch the dial to Hz/Duty to see this, which is not so convenient. Otherwise I think this is a perfectly good meter and certainly good value.

Replaced an old (now broken) multi meter, so treated myself to one with a bigger screen. This has the basic functions for automotive electronics. The magnet hanger is extremely useful! My only gripe is that the back light goes out after around 5 seconds of activating.

Device is a perfect combination of features and price point. It's accurate and helped me with many electronic repairs so far, I can't fault it.

Brilliant price of kit, even has thwrmo couple included which I didn't expect.

For ages I've had one of those cheap multimeters, and I really fancied something a bit more capable - this did not disappoint. I got it, the Khanka Hard Case, and the separate test leads kit all together as a gift to myself. While I might have loved to own Fluke, this one does what I need without breaking the bank!It comes with enough stuff to be immediately very good, though I prefer the test leads from the separate kit - the stock ones are fine and still come with removable tip shrouds (so you don't accidentally short between component legs so easily).The display is nice and big, and there's no problem with viewing angle. The backlight is electroluminescent or similar, so it's a good uniform blue to read off.The built-in stand is nice and steady, but it can jam sometimes when folding back in. There's an integrated magnetic strap too, which I've not had to use yet but which is very good at picking up steel grinding dust from the workbench.While the test leads are all properly shrouded for safety, you can also plug in regular 4mm banana leads if you're doing a hookup on a bench (the separate test leads kit comes with spring clip leads with stacking banana connectors, which can be really handy for certain setups).One feature I bought this specifically for is that the current measurement ranges all use separate connectors - so there's never a situation where the voltage test ports are shorted together. So long as you're methodical and always return your leads to the main input, you're unlikely to accidentally blow up fuses (or equipment). There are two separate current connections and both are separately fused; there is no unfused range. The current shunts are somewhere around 100mΩ (A connector), 1Ω (mA setting) 100Ω (µA setting).

This seems ok. The thermo couple was defective on mine but the company offered to replace it.I bought this to replace my old multimeter, used to test and identify caps it was helpful for this. It feels quality, easy to use, the stand is helpful when you have your hands full, the leads seem ok, look and feel like they will last, there long. For resistance there's an Auto mode or can manual select a range, very simple to navigate.For the price i think it's good, it has a quality feel to it and the customer service is great.
