AstroAI 6000 Counts TRMS Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter, NCV Live Wire Detection, Capacitance & Temperature Tester, CAT III 600V Safe for Home & Auto, Large Screen & Smart Safety Alert, Flashlight

Like the versatility and the features. Work light, noncontact AC power detector plus the other add on functions. The auto power off saves batteries and the batteries are cheaper to replace being AA rather than 9V. This is my second one of these meters. Used the first one for roughly a couple of years. First one got wet working on a sprinker and quit working. Immediately ordered another. Then took the first one apart to dry it out. Really like how sturdily the insides were build compared to other meters I have disassembled. Got it dried out and rinsed off with electronics cleaner and reassembled, it is back to working. The older one has taken numerous tumbles to concrete and steel and was still running till it got wet. I have 2 complaints about this meter. 1. One was in the original write up on the meter. The auto ranging is slow to change ranges so if you are checking a bunch of wires for power or reading resistances there is a several second delay between wires while it ranges each new wire. With one or two wires that is no problem but if you are checking dozens or hundreds it would be way nicer if it ranged faster. Get very frustrated with the wait each time. 2. Don't know about this meter but it looks identical to the original one and is the same model and the originals test leads were failing. Had a crack in the insulation in one lead and both leads there cracking at the strain relief to the probe. And this in only 2 years of moderate but fairly rough service use. Suggest plan on getting better replacement leads to put with it. While better water proofing would have been nice I truly do not think I can fairly expect it at this price point. Dreaming anyway. :) Overall for the price point I have been very happy with the old meter and expect that same of the duplicate new one

Works perfect! If you need to check electrical items or a battery this works very well. Helped me figure out the health of my 12 volt batteries before and after charging. Must have if you deal with batteries.

Performs very well so far. Excellent and solid good multimeter, especially testing the wiring on the HVAC unit.

Works good and precise except with temperature measurement. I like the background panel light, big numbers, soft leads, overall its a good tester.

I don't contribute to reviews as often as I could but AstroAI is far superior comapred to other vendors on Amazon and deserves every one of those five stars for customer support. The response time was outstanding, the people are knowledgeable and helpful. They stand behind their product and I couldn't be more pleased. AstroAI is definitely a company that believes the customer counts.

I needed a meter that would read capacitance and this one looked like the best choice. I like it. The way you choose difference setting is fast and easy to get to. No manual needed really. I saw a minor complaint in another review that the autoranging feature was a little slow. Maybe that's true if you need to check many components but it just takes about 1-2 seconds for the meter to stabilize and that's fine for me. I checked several difference capacitors and the meter gave readings that were well within the marked values they had. I don't have a way to know if it was the capacitors that were not exactly perfect of the meter but checking different capacitors with the same markings came back with almost exactly the same reading so it was consistent. I only checked on 3.9K ohm resistor and it was extremely close. AC voltage from a wall plug showed 120. something volts and the frequency varied from 59.99 to 60.00 hz. The non contact tip on the top of the meter does have to be pretty close to the line to find it. I guess you want it to be a little picky or you wouldn't know if your targe wire was live when there were several others around it like in a breaker box. I used to have a lower end Fluke meter I used on motorcycles and ATVs at work until it got destroyed. This Astro meter will do all I need for a fraction of the cost and I could replace it several times if something happened to it.

Likes: 1-Built in probe holders, makes use as a field instrument safer, one probe can be attached to the meter, the other in hand to make checks. 2-Dual display ie. AC volts an Hz 3-Boldness of display, the segments for the numbers are "thick and crisp" 4- Quick responding "bar graph" Even though I use analog meters also, this bargraph display is pretty good, and appears to react quicker than my VC99. 5-6000 counts display, at the price point offered this is a good value, I have found 6000 counts to be far better for me than 4000 or 2000 count DMMs that I own. 6- Accuracy, I am impressed with both of my AstroAI 6000 DMM's specifically on VDC.. I have a reference standard and the photo shows these "babies" are right on the money. 7- The meterface backlight is good and the lighting is relatively even. 8- I see having the built in flashlight can be a real handy "field feature" Features I am indifferent to: 1- When the range is selected, the correct "jacks" (to plug into) light up, I guess it is a safety feature, I consider it a gimmick.. it is cute though. 2-NCV, (non contact voltage) most of the newer DMM's feature this.. could be handy I guess.. I'm just not willing to trust NCV yet.. Dislikes / shortcomings 1- When trying to measure HZ (frequency) I used 120VAC supply it worked well and was quite accurate, however when I use a frequency generator @ around 1 VAC this meter does not see the frequency. In contrast my AstroAI WH5000A (currently named DM6000AR) does indicate frequency at these low volts. Summary: This AstroAI M6KOR is a great buy, I still like my AstroAI W5000A for it's larger display, but the addition of dual display and bargraph are useful to me. The M6KOR in my opinion is a better field use meter.

This is a great multimeter for testing grounded products. Not all multimeters work, but this one does. In case you need a quick primer, here's how to do it if you are wearing grounded shoes: 1. Turn it on to the V with the single line over the squiggly line (just up one notch from OFF). 2. Press the FUNC key so that it is toggled to AC. By default, it's DC. 3. Shove the black lead cord into the earth. 4. Hold the red one in your hand. It should shoot down to 0.000 or thereabouts.

Gummikåpan runt instrumentet skyddar bra. Har inte hunnit använda alla funktioner men verkar komplett.

Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Multimeter. Die Messwerte sind recht genau (Referenzspannung usw). Das Ansprechverhalten bei Durchgangsprüfung ist gut. Hier würden vlt. höherwertige Messleitungen noch etwas Besserung bringen, aber sonst völlig ok für ein 60,- Euro Gerät. Sehr gefallen hat mir die Funktion der Beleuchteten Anschlüsse, die entsprechen dem gewählten Messbereich durch grünes Blinklicht dem Anwender zeigen, in welche Buchsen die Messleitungen angeschlossen werden müssen. Nicht zuvergessen, die Hintergrundbeleuchtung des LCD-Displays. So kann man auch im dunkeln noch alles ablesen. Als letztes möchte ich noch die Tachenlampenfunktion erwähnen, die es auch bei einem Stromausfall möglich mach, die defekte Sicherung zufinden. Kaufempfehlung für Hobbyelektroniker!

Absolutely love this meter, nice and chunky but also not clunky. Works well, and nice large display when monitoring things over longer times. Only negative I have is the annoying beep that you hear if you set it not to turn off automatically which happens every 10ish minutes, but maybe its a good thing since you wont just forget it on. All in all recommend this, have recommended it to friends and also got a second to do dual measurements when needed.

I am not a professional and I don't have any way to measure accuracy of this product. I used it a couple of times and it works. It got many features that I haven't tried. Overall it's good. One feature I like it's you can take out the battery when you don't use it/put new one when need.

AstroAI M6KOR to świetny multimetr – solidny, dokładny i prosty w obsłudze. Szybka dostawa i bardzo dobrze zabezpieczona przesyłka. Polecam!
