Great for the price.
August 7, 2017
Its no fluke meter but then again it is also not >$100. :) For basic function in a classroom it did the job cheaply and well and stood up to middle school abuse.

exactly what I wanted to replace my old outdated one. very accurate
A very good unit, worth having in any toolbox.
September 15, 2016
I've been using one as my main voltmeter for a year and a half now and it still works like a charm.It's reliable enough, and at the price it means I can bring it with me anywhere and I don't fear that I might loose it or have it stolen.The main usage I do is continuity checking, and the beeping feature is a must have. This one has it, not all the cheap units do so look closely.I use to to measure voltage on model railroads, either DC or AC, typically in the 12-20 V range. It proved to be accurate enough each time I've used it. All voltmeters have some degree of fluctuation in their measurement, this one is no exception and did not raise any red flags.The backlit function turned out to be very useful in many occasions. It's very readable in the dark.Note that there is no auto-range, which has never been an issue (AC has a 0-200 V range and DC has 2 / 20 / 200 V, etc.) The display will show "1" when it's out of range, and one needs to manually select another position. Not much a problem when measuring low-voltage DC or AC since I'd just pick up the right range upfront; auto-range is only occasionally useful when I need to figure out a resistance value without prior reference.Two lead wires (black and red) came with it. I did like the thin pointy tips of the provided leads, it was convenient. However after 6 months or so the wire broke inside the tip head on both of them. I just swapped them for other leads I have from another multimeter since I have a couple other ones around. The banana plugs are compatible and the tips worked with my aligator clips.In summary, this is better than I expected and lasts longer than I imagined. I like the small form factor, the simplicity and robustness. I often carry it around with me because at that price I don't care if I loose it, and ironically I end up using it much more than my more expensive multimeters!
Great multi-meter for the price with only one shortcoming in my opinion.
December 22, 2015
After loosing my job and having to part with my prized Fluke multi-meter, I still needed something to work on projects with. Since I was on a virtually non-existent budget, I was pleased to come across the Dragonpad multi-meter. I ordered it for a very low price and a few days later it was in my hands.The build quality is pretty fair. There is a rubber grommet of sorts that covers the back and the sides, just like many of the Fluke meters have. It has all the standard features you would expect. Pretty much anything a normal hobbyist or tinkerer would ever need. It's pretty accurate from what I can tell. It comes with two leads that feel a little cheap but they do work.The one thing I was disappointed about was the internal "speaker" or "buzzer" (whatever its called). It's doesn't output steadily when testing for closed circuits and what not. It sounds like it struggles to make sound. It's not a deal breaker, more of an annoyance.For the price, you can go wrong.
Good Product/Price
November 29, 2015
Purchased meter to test batteries and other household items. Works as it is intended. Nice product at a nice price. Id recommend to others. Shipping takes a while though, so expect a couple week wait if in USA. Worthwhile for the Price.
Not a Fluke, BUT ...
July 12, 2013
Is it a Fluke? No.Could it be mistaken for a Fluke? No.Is there any chance it was made in the same factory as a Fluke? No.Would I trust its 600V rating? Not given a choice!BUT...Does it work? Yes.Is it cheap? Yes, very.Is it reasonably accurate? Certainly seems to be, based on quick comparisons with other meters.I got this meter to audition it. I need to get at least 10 identical units for as little cash as possible. So far, I'm thinking this is a pretty good choice. The case doesn't snap closed properly on one of the top corners but the bumper protects it well. The test leads are not the greatest but they will probably need to be replaced periodically anyway due to normal wear and tear in an environment with kids. The circuit board is really not too bad. It came in a box with an English instruction/specification leaflet (including detailed accuracy figures for the different ranges). The rotary selector has a good feel and the 20Vdc range is 3 clicks left of OFF, same as my other meters. Initially I was a bit concerned that it reported the gain of a 2N3904 about 35% higher than another meter, but it turned out to be closer to the true value than the other instrument! Long story short: aside from the fact that it smells somewhat reminiscent of a child's paddling pool, this seems to be a pretty solid contender in the cheap multimeter category.PS I wouldn't put too much stock in the negative reviews as their authors don't seem to be familiar with multimeters in general. You will always see small fluctuating voltages when the probes are floating because ... there are small fluctuating voltages. A "1" in the display indicates the value is out of range. There is no 'infinity' indication on any meter when measuring resistance, just an out-of-range indication. Of course the resistance will change rapidly from a lot to almost zero when you touch the probes together! And the person whose meter 'died' as soon as he tried to measure a battery voltage most likely had a current range selected, thereby blowing the fuse (I'm guessing he connected the battery first then rotated the selector through a current range to get to a voltage range. This is a downside of not having separate terminals for current and voltage input). Watch a video online if you need to get up to speed with how these things work.PS I should add that my meter was branded 'EXCEL' and was shipped from the US by 'Etekcity'. One of the problems with Amazon is that when different sellers list the same item, they aren't always the same, yet the reviews are common to all of them. I went to order more of these and they only had two remaining. Hopefully more will be in stock soon.

Very happy with my purchase
October 29, 2017
GREAT multimeter! Have used it a few times, but really like the easy large readout. The selector is quick and easy to use. Comes with batteries already installed. Nice little bonus!! All my INNOVA products have been high quality!! Very happy with purchase...
Great multimeter for the price
October 12, 2017
Handles all the functions I need for diagnosing issues with vehicle/trailer wiring. If you frequently switch between testing amps and testing voltage, I recommend buying an inline fuse and modifying your leads to put a fuse inline. I smoked my first multimeter by leaving it hooked up to the 10amp connection when trying to measure voltage. I immediately bought a second meter (and some inline fuses!).
Great little tester
October 5, 2017
Great little tester!! I use it for home use and leave my Fluke at work. Auto ranging and audible continuity buzzer. Does just about everything my Fluke does, but for a heck of a lot cheaper. I don't know if I would use it for very precise measurements, but for light mechanics and hobby work, can't beat it for the price.
Should be in every do it yourselfer's toolbox
October 3, 2017
Pleasantly surprised at the value for the price. This is great for occasional use for the DIY inclined or hobbyist. Not appropriate for a professional or someone who needs safety around high voltage. This is better than some $40-50 multimeters I have used in the past. However, time will tell whether it stays accurate and continues to work for years to come.
Excellent meter.
September 18, 2017
So far, this meter is excellent. I love the auto-ranging. I no longer have to choose AC or DC or the voltage range--just stick on the leads. I am confident that the other functions work as specified, but voltage and continuity are what I use most.
Love this unit!
August 7, 2017
Great meter for a great price! Does so much more than a comparably priced unit. Did a quick walk through with my father and now I can never find it because its in HIS tool box. Now I need to buy myself another one!

Excellent performance-to-cost
August 10, 2017
This is a great value for a basic digital multimeter. It handles most typical measurements very well, with accuracy as advertised. It even includes a slip-on cover (that's the orange/yellowish part in the picture) to help minimize the possibility damage if the device is dropped. I'd actually give this 5 stars for its excellent performance-to-cost, but I don't see how to open the device to replace the internal 9V battery when the time comes.
It is an excellent instrument, but this one does not works well
October 20, 2016
It is an excellent instrument, but this one does not works well. The display does not show the third digit completely. I least this one. I do not say all of this.
Adequate for basic electronic work.
December 26, 2015
There are several people on here telling you not to buy this meter since it is very cheaply made. Listen to them. They are right. I used $5 analog meters for years. I haven't seen an analog meter recently, but meters like this seems to have taken their place. But they seem to be less functional, and seem to be even less accurate.It will do for my purposes. But if you need accurate electronic measurements, then look for a better meter.I just said that it will do for my purposes. That may end up instead as me hoping that it will do for my purposes.Update Jan 9, 2016I have to apologize for the above information. I gave this meter an unfair review. I was using 3rd party leads with it, and evidently I was having a problem with the leads and not the meter. The meter is not 100 percent accurate, but it will get you close if you are using the leads which comes with it and not some bad ones as I had been when I 1st got it.And with continuity testing, the buzzer is below my hearing level....Update November 3, 2016In the comments, someone stated that this meter does not have a buzzer. I can only say that a buzzer is marked on the dial.
Works for me, despite the horror stories
February 14, 2015
I received this in the mail today, and, much to my relief, it seems to be working. The price is great, and messing with small electronics is a new hobby of mine, so I can hardly justify a larger investment in a tool like this until I understand circutry and electricity better (and start building my own circuts).The back-light seems to work, and is nice and bright, but you have to hold the button down for it to stay on for some reason. If you just press it, it stays on for a few seconds and then goes off (not long enough to get a reading)... so the only way I can see using the backlight is if I use the leads like chopsticks.I've tested it by measuring a 3.3VDC vin pin on a raspberry pi, and a few resistors on an arduino shield (from a kit) that I built. All the readings so far are reasonable and within expectation.I can't say anything about the quality control issues people have been talking about, but this is a really cheap meter that [in my case] seems to work. Hard to argue with that as an entry-level hobbyist.
Good meter, couple things though
September 24, 2013
I've had this meter for 6 months now. And overall I'm very happy with it, but there are a couple of things I should mention.Testing leads: I had the testing leads break on me. The end of the wire broke off from the inside of the casing on both leads within about a week of each other. While I'm not gentle with this thing nor am I particularly hard on it, so my conclusion is the cables that come with this thing are junk. But aside from that I've been so happy with it I just spent the $5 to get new banana plug leads. Search Amazon for "Amico 1000V Male Banana Plug Multimeter Probe Test Lead Cable Wire" if you want the exact ones I got. It might be prudent to get both together for when yours break.Hard to remove battery: This takes a 9V battery. There is no removable battery back or any such thing. You have to disassemble it to change the battery. It's just a few screws but still a hassle.Not idiot proof: I can't tell you how many times I've left this thing on overnight and through the next work day. That's on me for forgetting but it would be nice if it had some power down after some amount of inactivity feature. For the price though I suppose that's expecting a bit too much. Good news is the battery can take several days of this before it dies!Other than those things it's awesome. Way more features than you'd expect for the price tag. 4 stars easy. I'd give it 4.5 if that were an option.
Inexpensive full featured multimeter
September 29, 2011
The price is insane! I tested it along with my Fluke multimeter and found it well calibrated. It has almost all the features needed for home use. The test leads are a bit flaky(hence 4 stars), but at this price it is acceptable. The backlight is impressive and so is the readings hold feature. A rubber case is also included and fits well.

Meter seems to be doing fine for the number of times I used it
October 15, 2017
Meter seems to be doing fine for the number of times I used it. One thing that takes some getting used to is that when measuring voltages, it would look like it was dancing all over the place with readings, till I realized that there was a small indicator also showing that it was millivolts instead of volts. OK, I guess I can buy that. Otherwise it seems fairly well constructed and for the price, offers some nice features.
Does just about everything a higher priced unit would, though a bit unwieldy at higher measurements.
October 9, 2017
I had originally bought this just to have something not from Harbor Freight to measure resistance in my ignition coils. This can technically measure in the megaohms, but it has a really hard time with anything above about 6 kiloohms, and the accuracy takes a hit on 220v lines. Maybe my unit, maybe just the model, I don't know. Don't really care either.What I do know is that it gets regularly borrowed by friends that already own lineman service level Fluke multimeters. The holsters on the side won't hold most other probes though, but whatever. At this price, you could seriously, easily do worse.
Best bang for your buck
May 23, 2017
I needed a inexpensive multimeter that could help me locate a parasitic draw and it did the trick. It's accurate, reliable and inexpensive. You can't ask for much more than that. Great purchase, I'm sure it will come in handy for all the projects around the garage.
Good for the money
December 29, 2016
This multimeter works well for someone who doesn't rely on it for a living. It has good features. The only reason I took off a star is because the battery load test doesn't seem to work right and sometimes the tone for continuity doesn't work until I switch off of and back onto continuity test. I would buy it again.
great value for the price
December 27, 2016
Really nice item; the display is big and clear; the continuity lag behind but it is OK, considering that this is not a Fluke nor it cost a lot of money.Tollerance is good too; I did use it for 3V and 5V projects and so far it has been quite accurate, compared to the professional multimeter. Easy to use, even my kids can use it without problems.The only thing that I don't like is that you can't hang the probes; the clips are soft plastic and they are more for show than to hold the probes.Overall, it is a super deal for the price.
All your electrons are belong to us
December 9, 2014
Would give it 3.5 if I could. I needed a multimeter for around the house and this one was rated very highly. I haven't gotten a chance to play with some of its more advanced features, but the basic functionality works great.My only problem with it is the little clips on the sides that are supposed to hold the probs. They're basically useless. The plastic is way too soft and bendy to hold the prob securely, and any amount of jostling or putting it in a bag with other tools will result in the probs popping out of their retention clips. I'd rather it not have the clips at all if they don't work correctly and am thinking about just cutting them off the case.But like i said, this is a great product other than the clips. In general it feels solid and well built for the price. OK screw it i'm changing my rating to 4 starts. Its not fair to deduct 2 stars for such a trivial gripe

Looks nice in the picture
February 1, 2016
Looks nice in the picture, this is a LIGHT duty, low end meter. Dont use it for rated AC equipment.
Off by 0.15v, missing stands, no battery load test, no auto shutoff. OK but rather get the red centech one.
March 14, 2014
Positive: It's cheap, works ok for non-critical things, has a backlight and protective cover.Negatives:-One of two was off by +0.15v (although the reference was a cheapo red cen-tech unit).-two sellers, Dallas ImportDirect and LindaMomStore (both fulfilled by amazon) came with no stands.Neutral - would be nice to have:-auto shutoff.-battery load tester (cheapo red centech has it for $3-5)Conclusion: this and the cen-tech are both cheap and may be off, but they work ok for non-critical jobs so it's whatever feature you want to go with.TIP: hot glue both ends of each wire to the connectors, they tend to rip out first. Thanks and God bless!
Not great, but it pretty much works
December 29, 2013
What can you say? For the price, it's pretty decent. I ordered this because I couldn't find my good meter, but couldn't rationalize buying another ~$100 one (when I'd surely find it later).Out of curiosity, I disassembled the meter, and discovered, as expected, that this device was produced at pretty minimal cost. The fuse is soldered directly to the board, which is about as useful as just replacing a burned out resistor. I have added photos of the inner bits to the product description page.Overall, it's a decent meter, and good for most things around the house/car. It will get you a value which is probably correct. The backlight on it is actually superior to that on many of the more expensive meters that I've used.
Good Cheep Meter
December 4, 2013
The meter works fine. Don't expect anything fancy for the price have one of these already but it started acting goofy so I ordered another one as a spare. I do field service on Fire Alarm systems and my meters will occasionally fall hit the floor. I use cheep meters most of the time so when it does fall I don't lose a expensive meter, I break out the good one when necessary. The old meter started working properly the next day and has been fine since, not sure what the problem was but the voltage readings were way off from the actual voltage present. The test leads are not the best but they work. The delivery was awful, very slow from this vendor ordered 10/31 received 12/2.
LCD Multimeter - Not quite what I expected...
April 2, 2013
I'm an Electrical Engineering student and I figured that I would be needing one of these at some point in time, so I saw this and figured it would be a good buy.First of all, I did not expect to get a used product. The screen has tons of scratch marks. I don't really care, so long as it works. That being said, it does work. The continuity setting has a really annoying noise, not a clear beep, but kind of scratchy, like the speaker is broken... The plastic/rubber case on the back was clearly bought for a model without a kickstand, and you can clearly tell that the hole for the kickstand was cut by hand, and not very well. The packaging is a box with "DIGITAL MULTIMETER" written on it a few times. This is definitely not issued by the manufacturer. I got mine from "GNWE -- Ships From HONGKONG."It works, though it isn't the prettiest piece of equipment I've worked with. I feel kind of duped for getting a used product, though.
Best Voltmeter I have ever owned!
February 22, 2013
This is the best Voltmeter I have ever owned! I don't like to invest big bucks in items like this, so for the minimal cost this is indeed a fine unit! Large well lit screen and sturdy construction, I love it! I use it mostly to test batteries for wheelchairs etc. HOWEVER! As of June 15th 2013 one of the lead wires came undone from the probe and I don't see a way to repair it, so I must downgrade my opinion. Too bad because I like the unit otherwise.

August 17, 2017
Decent multi-meter. It worked well for a while, but then started giving erroneous voltage and amperage readings when trying to measure. Resistance still works fine. I haven't really used any of the other features as I don't have need of them.
Good product bad shipping
May 5, 2017
Good product does exactly what it should do. The reason I have given three stars is I ordered it with prime and didn't arrive for a month.

April 22, 2017
Bought one a couple years ago and it still works awesome. Bought a second one 3 months ago for my assistant, and it died just today...It was working fine one minute while I was checking voltage on a 3.3v circuit. I look back at it a minute later and the voltage is reading out random numbers from -100mv to +200mv with the probes touching nothing... ?
Good Luck. . .
April 7, 2017
I bought a couple of these and I have varying results. One works great but the 2nd one will not complete a battery load test. If you get a good one you'll love it, otherwise you'll only be getting a basic voltmeter.

March 12, 2017
Meter is accurate with my beckman. But wish it had more functions it's a automatic range that I'm not use to.
Quirky at best.
August 31, 2014
Mine should of gone back, misplaced packaging so cant return. Will go to dumpster instead. Wont hold zero, numbers bounce constantly seems to always be searching for correct range. Battery tester is gimmicky at best. Cant hear continuity tester in a noisy environment. Lacking any sort of real AC testing. I honestly wasnt expecting much for the price, but not being able to hold zero for a simple 12v test is a deal killer. Maybe i just got a rare bad unit, as other reviewers love this unit. Unfortunately i cant return which is my fault so i gave 3 stars instead of 1 since its partially my fault.

Does not work properly
December 29, 2016
 I took a chance at buying a multimeter for $11.00, and now I can see why it was $11.00.- Product had scuff marks in the rear of the case. Appeared to be a used item.- Turned on the multimeter, and for some reason, the LCD display appeared locked/frozen on the same numbers. Took me a while to realize that the "hold" button was depressed, thus freezing the LCD screen. (I did not press that button, it shipped that way.Problems:1. When the dial is set on 200V AC, numbers on the screen just bounce around. I don't even have the leads touching anything2. If I insert the leads into my 120AC outlet, the reading shows bizzarre numbers (0, or 13..etc)3. If I then switch the dial to 600V AC, the LCD screen reads correctly (122V)4. Continuity sound is very scratchy9V DC battery read correctly. Green backlight worked. Good protective cover.Look like someone previously returned it (broken), and it was never checked by the seller before sending to me.Returning it and will pay a little more and get something more reliable.
HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM .....!!
October 18, 2015
I bought this the end of 2014 & to be honest it worked like a charm. Was able to test any & all batteries from AAA to those round thin batteries in our bicycle speedometers. Then one day my husband left it on overnight & killed the battery. No problem, I thought, just remove the tiny screws & replace it. I got out my small eyeglass set of screwdrivers & then the fun began. The screws would not turn no matter what. I emailed customer service at Amazon but because I bought it from one of their vendors they could not help me. So now I'm forced to order another similar product. What a waste! Also disappointed that Amazon could or would not help me. So always make sure you turn the device off.
I had to return it, Save up for a better multimeter
June 1, 2015
Spend a little more money and get a decent multimeter. I purchased a craftsman multimeter at sear for a better price than this one. Right from the get go I was having problems. I'm pretty tech savy and I definitely know how to use a multimeter, but this was either giving me false readings or no readings at all. I promptly packed it up and returned it back to the seller:Pros:1) Price - 9/10 - For about $10 bucks you can't really complainCons:1) Build Quality - 5/10 - The craftsman ship and the attention to detail is sub-par. It sort of feels cheap when you hold it.2) Working Quality - 1/10 - Didn't work or gave me false readings.
Good value BUT Fuse is soldered to the PCB
August 22, 2014
TL;DR: I would say that if you're a parent who is considering getting a multimeter for a young kid who might lose interest in their electronic projects in a week or two, then go ahead and buy it. Or if you're a student who is on a really tight budget and you need a multimeter for a semester, then go ahead and buy it.For everyone else, spend a little more. (For example: $25 buys the Mastech MS8268 Auto/Manual Range Digital Multimeter Meter.)My in depth review.I would be giving this product 4 stars and possibly 5 just due to the fact that it's so inexpensive. ($7.59 when I bought it.) It does work, so for this kind of money, it's pretty hard to beat. HOWEVER, the big problem with this device is that they soldered the fuse directly to the PCB! What were they thinking?!? It might be possible to de-solder the fuse and re-solder a new one without destroying the thing, but that is extremely inconvenient. (Bring up all the reviews for this product and do a keyword search for "fuse" and you will see how common this complaint is.) Unfortunately I didn't see this while skimming the reviews or I never would have bought it.My unit came with the battery already installed which also seems like very poor quality control. Though it may just be the case that someone owned this unit before me and returned it. The packing is so generic you certainly wouldn't know if your unit was new or not.The backstand for the unit is very cheaply designed, but for the money, this isn't a surprise. The unit will stand up with the backstand extended, but it feels like it would break with very little pressure.When you unscrew the screws to get to the battery, the plastic screw holes feel like they are already stripped out. The back plastic covering doesn't feel like it's going to fall off or anything, but it does feel like it wouldn't hold up to being removed very many times.The LCD screen contrast isn't the greatest, but it's certainly good enough - especially for this price. It does have a nice back light that you can turn on. However, the back light turns off automatically after about 4 seconds and there's no way to force it to stay on.It's not all bad though by any means.In my basic testing, it seems to work (well enough for low voltage electronics anyway). I tested continuity a few times. It has a buzzer to indicate that there is continuity. However, the response time isn't instant. So if you were to drag the probe across a row of connections, you would likely miss anything that had continuity. The probe has to have contact for more than a fraction of a second to detect continuity. (Do a youtube search for "EEVblog #75 - Digital Multimeter Buying Guide for Beginners" to see why that can matter. Skip to the 12 minute mark and watch for 2 minutes.)One reviewer commented that the probes do not stay attached to the device. He said they were so loose that they fall out easily. This was not my experience. (You do have to push the probes all the way down - perhaps that reviewer only pushed them in half way?) With the probes pushed in all the way, I was easily able to dangle the entire weight of the multimeter just by holding onto the probe wires, so there's no way they are going to "fall out" from normal use.I tested a few batteries (with and without a load), and tested an AC to 9V DC power converter and the multimeter gave me accurate and consistent numbers for the voltage test.I tested some low current devices (100mA - 200mA) and got the expected results.Finally I tested a few resistors I had lying around and they too tested as expected.
An adequate cheap meter
June 22, 2014
I own a Fluke Scopemeter but needed a quick and easy to use meter for batteries and wall voltage. I found this cheap meter for the job. I don't care about accuracy, I just need a quick number. My only complaint is that the prop stand on the back is missing. I saw in the reviews where the same problem occurred. Not sure if all the prop stands are missing or I received the returned item from the previous complainer. The cost to drive to the UPS Store and return, would be the same price to order a new meter. I will keep, but I don't think I got what I paid for.
Great Meter, Junk for Probes
March 16, 2014
Probes came in with one tip off--no way to get probes due to second vendor or something along those lines--definitely spent too much time on e-mails and phone calls for this price. I couldn't justify buying probes at more cost than the meter . . . But I do really like the meter! Rate the meter a 4+ and the probes a 0 and the hassle of no real way to get a simple part a 1. All this said, Amazon was more than happy to refund or partial credit the product too.

Wouldnā€™t always zero out and sometimes I got erratic readings. I rarely ever use a multimeter but when I starting having issues it was outside of warranty.
Probes suck!
August 21, 2017
I bought this back in July but never opened.Opened it today (brand new from box), plugged in the probes to check the voltage, and when I attempted to disconnect the probes to put it away, 1 of the connecting pins got stuck in the socket.I can plug the probe back into it and the meter still works, but it's pretty frustrating when parts break after the first use. Not sure if I want to look for new probes, but I would expect a product to at least last a few uses. I definitely would NOT buy this again.

while this is a cheap meter, it is better suited to a 10-15 year old--the quality is poor and the teat lead appear to not be suited to "real" high voltage and accuracy. I would not buy this meter again.
Find something else with better quality - this won't last
November 8, 2016
I bought this meter due to all the good reviews. I worked as advertised - for about a year and a half. Now when I turn it on the display just jumps all around. New batteries did not fix it. I took it apart looking for loose parts but I can't find the problem and you can only spend so long trying to fix a $25 tool - especially one that you can't really depend on anymore. I would not buy again and I'd advise you to get something with a bit better quality because this won't last long.
It seems like some functions work fine while others don't
September 12, 2016
At first it seemed to work but of course shortly after the 30 days I started getting questionable readings and it was too late to send back. It seems like some functions work fine while others don't. In addition, the "battery lights" never illuminated but the readings of that function are correct. It's a shame, I did a lot of research on these before purchasing and thought this one was going to be perfect but instead it just leaves me confused sometimes.
maybe I got a bad one
March 4, 2016
The reviews were good and the price was too. I could not get past the way the display jumped around when switched to DC voltage. This is what I use the thing the most for, checking automotive DCV. It worked fine once connected to a voltage source, but when the leads were not touching the display just showed a ever changing voltage and would never settle down. Maybe this is normal, but I sent this meter back over this issue. In the future I'll just stick to manual ranging meters if this is considered normal.

Cheap Product
December 28, 2016
It worked fine when I first got it. Then put it on the shelf for about 6-8 months until I needed it again. Well, about 25% of the section of numbers don't show up and the digital screen, so you have no idea what number is being displayed. Of course, the warranty ran out just after 30 days. Junk!
Lack of fuses to protect over voltage measurement and lack response from seller
February 21, 2016
I bought two of them last year and both failed due to its not having a fuse to protect any over voltage measurement. When it failed, all AC/DC voltage/currents and resistance measurement failed. I have a regular meter I purchased 25 years ago and it has two fuses built-in to protect measurements that could be outside of ranges and it is the basic design feature for any meters to have but this particular meter does NOT have. Also the seller does not respond to request of manufacturer warranty info.I will NOT buy this one again, nor purchasing anything from this seller.
Doesn't work, poor quality
October 13, 2015
I bought this a year ago and never used it. Just took it out of the tool box today, and, like other reviews have indicated, it does not work (yes, i put in new batteries). Like other reviews, I too found it gets stuck on "1," and for me, it *never* did the job i needed it to do - it never read anything. I bought another meter at a hardware store today, and it worked perfectly...so this shows the unit on amazon was defective. Unfortunately i am out of my return window, so it is money wasted.

June 6, 2015
Doesn't function correctly. Quality is simply too low. I decided to risk buying, but the meter can't measure ohms reliably. The reading just continuously bounces around by 400% or more (I know multimeters and this is unuseable). I realized this was going to be a low quality device (plastic tab broke when checking the battery), but it doesn't even function correctly. So - don't risk it. Perhaps some of the other meters under $10 function correctly, but not this one. By the way, the seller would not exchange for free (ie they asked for shipping costs).
Dangerous item being sold
August 22, 2014
Bought this item for my husband. First issue: it did not come with the leads. Main issue: My husband just used it for the first time. It was arking (spelling ?) without anything being hooked to it. When he hooked it up to the device he needed to test, this multimeter blew the power out in my husband's office and the tv in our bedroom. Then, after disconnecting it, it was still giving reading with nothing attached to it. This item is dangerous. DO NOT BUY IT!
Did Not Work!
June 17, 2014
The fused side of this meter did not measure anything. Blown fuse. The fuse is soldered into the board. Does BrainyTrade check their equipment for operability prior to sale? No. I am a license prof eng. I do understand electrical measurement, even though I am an ME. My ex-wife got custody of my old meter (my problem). This was appeared to be a suitable replacement, just in case I needed one (like I did, to help a neighbor).I purchased the same meter from a different provider - it arrived yesterday and works just fine. @2 more, and worth every penny.I recommend the meter, but I would not recommend BrainyTrade to anyone. Sorry.

Horrible product
August 18, 2017
Very poor quality -- I cannot believe this is a top seller! The display was faulty as soon as I got it out of the box. I tried changing the batteries and used fully charged rechargeable batteries with the same result. Also, the contacts for the batteries were poorly placed and one of the batteries seemed to work intermittently. I have returned it for a full refund and will now look for a better product!
Would not buy again
February 22, 2017
the display jumps all over when not connected to a voltage. difficult to work with if you are looking at low DC voltage I've been trying to use this to help trouble shoot a battery electrical system and it is less than useless. I can't always use clipleads and have to use the probes that come with the meter. I never know when I've got a real reading or just he constantly changing noise
It's cheap for a reason
January 27, 2017
Less then a year old and it won't power on. Only used it twice. Customer service from Innova is all but useless.

November 18, 2015
I bought this to measure induced current in one of my experiments. As I didn't have any idea how much voltage my setup is producing, the reading on the meter didn't give me a whole lot of sense. I repeated the experiment and got totally different readings. Also the auto ranging was not stabilizing even after 5 minutes. It was shutting off after 10 minutes even it is was not idle. Probably I got a defective unit, from reading other positive reviews I am thinking there is some other unit out there does its job correctly.

August 7, 2015
Poor Quality.Just received it and I can't event trust the continuity test function because I have to move the probes contentiously to get it to work. I don't know if the problem is in the jacks or in the probes. I can touch copper filaments on probe cables (Safety issue if testing AC Voltage) Waste of time and money.
This would be a great value if it held up
July 25, 2015
This would be a great value if it held up. It feels quality has a large display, auto-ranging, lots of functions, and auto-off. However, my battery load test LEDs failed after one month. They worked fine for only a couple of testings, then nothing. I have to pay to send it back for repair. Not happy.
