Unreliable in what way...any particular functions? Do you any specific recommendations/Amazon links?
Would often read zero volts, then when I restarted it would read volts (could never trust a zero volts reading with it). Frequency usually would read a harmonic instead of the main frequency. Eventually voltage stopped working all together. My cheapo craftsman I bought years ago works more reliably. I don't have any recommendations, people seem to like Klein's for the money. TBH I'll probably save up for a Fluke or Brymen as all the cheap meters I've bought are a waste of money. Check out the eevblog YouTube channel, he has a lot of comparisons on there.
For those that are willing to spend a bit more, but not as much as a Fluke, I've had no issues with UNI-T UT61E. I got it for around $50 a few years ago, but of course they have gone up in price like everything.
I also have a DKMHA VC17 that's been fine and it cost less than the UT61E, but it doesn't seem to be available any longer.
eevblog is a good resource and may have more up to date information.
Thanks OP, I picked one up. I actually had this in my cart from yesterday, so the deal is timely.
Sounds like it might not be great, but for the price of a Cheeseburger, I can give it a shot. And if I use it enough to see it fail, then it will be easier to justify a more expensive meter.
Hard to beat the cheap HF meters! Great for happy homeowner!
Yes, indeed. My friend, more than 50 years, is a real farm boy who can fix anything with duct tape, baling wire & HF tools &, of course, he's a regular customer there.
