I am not an electrician, but I needed a meter for general household use and specifically to test some audio power cables I was building. I have only used it so far to check continuity on the power cables, capacitance on some interconnects and voltage from a few home outlets. The large display screen is easy to read and I really like the input terminal ports that light up to designate proper connections depending on the selection made with the rotary switch. Everything feels solid and well made.
So far, everything works like a charm. I might have to order a set of alligator clip test leads to make it easier to measure smaller handheld objects.
I am very happy with this unit and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a household digital multimeter.
I have only 2 relatively negative comments. Sometimes you do not get any reading form the meter, or shows only 0000. In some occations, this might be deceiving, you probably think you are reading 0 and actually have something other than 0. I realized this once I knew a 0 reading was not possible. Then I turn it off and switched back on and had the correct reading. You have to turn the multimeter off and back on again in order to make it work. It is as if it resets itself and works fine again.
The other minor thing is plastic housing in the upper part in the side, does not match perfectly the lower side. Kind of low quality housing for a really good meter. It is heavy though, but it is kind of good feeling. Being heavy makes it feel as higher quality. It is sturdy as well, but plastic is hard plastic, not rubber like.
Auto range works great and very sensible. It takes a while to getting used to switching to desired range and back to autorange, but just a matter of use.
All and all, it is excellent for what it costs. Really happy about it.
Overall, reasonably-priced, handy multimeter. There were a few reviews about non-working meters, but I had no trouble with mine.
I opted to buy this multi-meter due to its low price.
Comments:
Firstly, the meter did not come with any batteries, which by the other reviewers' comments are of poor quaiity, so I quickly installed 3 AAA rechargeable 750 mAh Eneloop (2,100 rechargable cycle) batteries and they have lasted a very long time since I do not frequently use the backlight option.

Alternatively, you could opt to use AAA alkaline batteries or higher capacity (950 mAh) Eneloop batteries (Panasonic Eneloop Pro) if you use this meter for extended periods with the backlight:

Secondly, the test leads were quite useless since their metal `test poles' were too short. I have noticed this finding in many other peoples' reviews. Thus, just discard the test leads that are supplied with the meter.
Apart from these two initial problems, I have been delighted with the performance once I replaced the test leads with the surprisingly inexpensive set ($ 21.48) from Fluke (TL71) which have much longer metal `test poles', are very `elegant', and have very soft and flexible cables! What a joy to use them!

As such, I had to pay alot more money to finally get a functional meter.
Further Details:
The meter is very big and `chunky', the thick green outer casing is flexible and will prevent damage caused by knocks and drops, and the meter has a lifting rod to more easily display the screen in some circumstances, if and when you wish to use it.
The readings are displayed in large LCD black digits, and there is a backlight when performing tests in dark places but which only stays on for a approximately 5 seconds after activation to save battery life.
The appropriate COM and TEST sockets are very helpfully illuminated in red (around the socket) when you switch the test dial to measure different electrical parameters, and of the leads are inserted in the incorrect sockets then the red lights of the correct sockets flask in red lights thereby ensuring that the users do not make an error in inserting the test leads in the incorrect sockets, and there is a 250V 10A fuse contained within the battery box at the back.
Apart from the initial requirements to get a functional multi-meter, this meter has been robust and performs every task I require of it (but N.B. I am not a qualified electrician) so I rate it as a 4 star product.

Se los recomiendo a los estudiantes un poco experimentados de Electricidad y electrónica, así como también a personas que sean fanáticas de la electricidad o tengan algún taller donde ocupan realizar mediciones eléctricas precisas. Excelente producto 100% recomendable.
La entrega fue muy rápida a pesar que venia desde Estados unidos. Gracias.
