Amazing meter

5.0

Very accurate, exceeding specifications. Built quality is top of the line. It measures small capacitors very accurate as well as low resistors. It does better job with low ohm resistors than my Fluke 87V. High quality range selector switch. bargraph ZOOM feature is nice and useful for troubleshooting.

Cons.
- display contrast angle is not set the best, I got better contrast when I lay down meter on the bench.
- no long beep for shorts on diode range
- continuity is fast and a bit scratchy, however, no the same as with chinese meters. It does have some king of latched beep, maybe its better this way, it detectrsh better if something is loose. I like it this way just wanted to point out for others.
- settling time for DC voltage is not instant, meter sometimes show 2-3 readings until it settles. With sampling rate of 5 times per second I expected it to be faster. Again its not bad, its as fast as Fluke 87V, however, not in pair with new HIOKI meters.
- meter has 50ohm range for low ohm resistors, it asks you to short test leads for few seconds in order to subtract (delta) test leads resistance. When all is done measurements are not accurate, it reads less than actual value. When using Delta in autoranging mode it does work perfect.
So basically when I short the leads and give meter 6-7 seconds to settle, I than press Delta button to zero display and after that meter is so accurate that it exceeded my expectations. So basically just dont use manual 50ohm range and you are fine.

Unless you measure temperatire, small value capacitors and uA I would go with HIOKI DT4252, othervise this meter is best bang for money and I would buy it again.
Very good quality, good test leads and very accurate.

Amprobe AM-270 DVM

4.0

Really nice DVM at a great price. Packaged nicely, good instruction, and a nice set of probes. Have used the voltage, resistance, continuity, and capacitance functions, and found them to quick and accurate. Really great value.
