– Proster Multimeter TRMS 6000 Counts Auto Manual Range Electrical Tester | DC/AC Voltage, DC/AC Current, NCV Detector, Temperature, Capacitance, Resistance, Diode, Continuity Tester with Cloth Bag

Great multimeter, really versatile and straightforward to use

I looked around for a good deal, having read all the reviews online - this is just a rebadged HT118A, supplied through other brand names such as Kaiweets, Habotest, KKmoon - you get exact same thing except cheaper, and I love a good deal!!! Read the manual - rare for me, but I discovered you can disable the auto power off feature by pressing the 'Func' button while turning on - very useful. I like everything about this meter, does it all well, and for the money I spent I doubt you will find something better. For this price range you get a meter that doesn't feel cheap at all, plastics are solid and top notch and has some nice functions, like the mains detector, which actually works well and is sensitive, unlike other meters I have used where it is a little insensitive. The torch and also the backlit display are all great. The stand also works well and the rubbery sleeve stops the meter slipping around. Also useful to have a thermocouple to read temperature up to 1000c, so will use this to calibrate my soldering iron. If I were to pick anything I think could be improved, the outside rubber protective sleeve could be a little softer and more flexible, and also, would prefer higher quality probes - but this is it, I can't fault it.

I bought this multimeter for its ability to measure capacitance as I had a number of (potentially) duff capacitors that I wanted to check. From my initial checks against known-good capacitors it certainly measures accurately enough. I say "accurately enough" since nothing is ever spot-on. I am under no illusions that neither my known-good capacitors or the meter itself are perfect, however, the readings it provides are certainly within tolerance so I am certainly satisfied with the results (especially considering the cost). Things I like: * Nice large and readable digital display with backlight (that can be turned on as needed). Certainly useful for the <cough> older citizen. * All the controls, dial and labelling are clear and easy to use. * It's a bit of a gimmick (as you should know what you're doing) but it is a nice touch that it lights up the appropriate sockets when you select a function. * It comes with a nice selection of additional test leads. * It even came with batteries! Which were easy to fit. Some of these meters you have to crack open the enter case to fit batteries but this has an easily accessible bay on the back (under the stand, secured by a single screw). Things that I don't like so much (no deal-breakers, remember this is not an expensive unit so you have to be pragmatic): * The instructions are in a "type of" English, certainly not the worst that I've read but you might not figure out all the capabilities purely from the textual description (again I imagine someone buying a multimeter knows how to use one). * The case whilst not flimsy is probably not as rugged or robust as the chunky-action-man design might have you believe. It'll do but I doubt it will last any particularly rough handling. All in all, I'm satisfied with the purchase and it'll do what I need it to.

this arrived on time and it works well. so well happy

Seems very durable, good size screen, covers everything I need, very well priced

This is a fantastic multimeter for the price. Besides the usual volt/current/resistance, it can also measure frequency, duty cycle, capacitance and the hFE of transistors, which as an electronics design engineer is very useful to me. It can also measure temperature, which will be the ambient temperature of the meter if no probe is connected, while plugging in the supplied wire-ended thermocouple probe allows you to measure the spot temperature of equipment, components or even your cup of tea! It has other useful features such as reading hold, so you can freeze the reading at times when it is difficult to probe and read the meter at the same time, and it has a max/min function to show the highest or lowest reading during the measurement time, and a beeper for easy continuity testing. It is possible to zero the meter to take relative readings or to correct for lead resistance or capacitance. Checking the meter reading against a calibrated supply and a variety of fixed resistors and capacitors show it to be plenty accurate enough for anything you are likely to be using a multimeter to measure. Mechanically it seems robust, and the supplied leads are as good as any other multimeter I have used.

Autoranging, capacitance measurement and frequency/duty cycle all essential to me as well as normal VIR features. Temp measurement was a bonus. Works well and probes are comfortable to use. Display is clear to read but turning on backlight requires fiddly long press on the hold button. Niggles: autoranging is slow on resistance&capacitance measurement but livable. continuity test has to be activated on resistance range - as a frequently used function would have liked single press. auto switch off is annoying 3 beep reminder then shutdown - even if meter is measuring? - seems like a bug to me. has a (bipolar) transistor tester but its inscrutable to me at the moment-not intuitive. Would be wary of using meter at high currents (> a few amps) Good value home use meter but not pro level. Does what is says so no serious complaints. good for general DIY use but not pro use

Man muss sich nichts vormachen,in gewissen Bereichen messen günstige Geräte nicht so genau, wie Geräte die 8 mal so viel kosten. Das liegt nicht an der Verabeitung sondern am Aufwand der bei der Messmethode betrieben wurde. Aber im Grunde besitzt das Gerät alles was man braucht bis Dinge die man besser mit einem Phasenprüfer misst. Aber neben dem üblichen Spannung Strom und Widerstandsmessung respektive Durchgang und Kapazität stehen hier auch Induktivität , kontaktlose Nahfeld Spannungssuche, auch Temperatur zur Verfügung,und dies auch mit mitgelieferter Sonde. Etwas was man üblicherweise als Zubehör bestellen muss. Für mich als Gitarrist ist machmal sehr wichtig die Induktivität bestimmter Bauteile und vorallem die Kapazität eines Kabels zu messen.Das war der Grund sich dies Gerät anzuschaffen. Diese Messungen stimmen mit annehmbarer Genauigkeit mit der Wirklichkeit über ein wenn man an einem Profigerät die Ergebnisse vergleicht. Die Nahfeldmessung bietet einem ein ungenauen Annäherungseffekt im dem dass Gerät anfängt schneller zu piepen schlägt aber schon bei ein Laptopgehäuse an. Insgesamt weiß man zwar daß ein Kabel in der Wand liegt, aber die Genauigkeit lässt etwas zu Wünschen übrig. Das Gerät wirdmit drei AAA Zellen gespeist und besitzt ein Magnet als auch eine ausreichend lage eingestellte Displaybeleuchtung. Die Messspitzen gehen durch und besitzen ein abnehmbaren Schutz der ein Messen in unzugänglichen Stellen verbessert. Zusätzliche aufsetzbare isolierte Krokoklemmen kmplettieren das Bild vorallem weil der Schutz der Klemmen über die kmpletten Klemmen reicht. Das Gerät besitzt zwar eine Abschaltung am Drehrad das Gerät schaltet sich aber auch automatisch bei Nichtgebrauch ab. Nicht getestet wurde der DutyclycleMessung als auch die Frequenzmessung.Die Messspitzen lassen sich auch ohne vorzustehen auf der Rückseite festklippen. Mitgeliefert werden auch zwei Glassicherungen die leider nicht einem Ersatzteilfach Platz fanden.

Plenty of functions and does exactly what it says in description. Voltage detection and temperature detection was new for me and I loved it. I compared its readings to another temperature detector with me and its quite close, like 1 degree off or the same. And the carry bag that has that thing out to pick it up from? Nice 👍 Quite a deal for such a good price. Update June 11 2025: The MM somehow got burned when I was testing 220V AC in a new house I came in to. Not sure if not switching to AC mode caused it but it was supposed to automatically detect it anyway. I still think its a good tool, maybe it was my badluck.

Bisher funktionert das Multimeter hervorragend! Sehr praktische, gut durchdachte Funktionalität - gerade der Magnet an der Rückseite ist ein kleines, sehr praktisches Gimmick. Die Meßleitungen könnten etwas wertiger sein, erfüllen aber ihren Zweck. Vergleichmessungen mit einem Gerät eines namhaften deutschen Herstellers ergaben keine Unterschiede bei der Spannungs-, Strom-, und Widerstandsmessung. Eine günstige, und gut funktionierende Alternative. Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich derzeit keine Angaben machen. Bisher funktioniert das Gerät jedoch einwandfrei. Kaufempfehlung!

Funciona perfectamente.Con el tiempo y que lo uso mucho,los contactos de los cables tengo que apretarlos alguna vez para que de señal y puede ser que tenga que cambiarlos o sea fallo del conector del aparato.Llevo ya un tiempo con el y pese a eso va genial,lo recomiendo de todas formas.

En plus des fonctions basiques il y a une sondes de température. Il y a aussi deux choses bien pratique: un éclairage du cadrant si besoin et une simple "cale" oui mais qui permet de le poser semi vertical
