There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
One thing I learned about mine is that the pair of AA should be replaced before the battery indicator on the meter face says so. Mine starting behaving a little erratically a couple months back and it would not let me select any of the functions of the buttons like range...instead it would appear to do a reset and come up in auto. Still seemed to be accurate though. I checked the batteries (the originals) and they were down to 2.5V total so I swapped in a fresh set. Problem solved.
The probes that come with it are okay for light or occasional duty, but like most techs I have my own set of high quality expensive probes anyway. I bought this item for the meter itself, and consider low cost probes a disposable item.
I noted some reviews commenting on the bare bones instructions and user manual. If you already know how to use any digital meter with similar functions then you shouldn't really need an instruction manual for this one. If you are a beginner then there are plenty of online resources to learn how to use a meter, what all the functions are for, and etc.
I've only been using it for a few weeks. I don't anticipate any problems but if any develop I'll update this review. Unless that happens, I highly recommend this meter to anyone looking for an item like it.
The customer service from ProsterUS was great. They contacted me personally by email to make sure that I received the product in a timely fashion and that it met my expectations, and I was happy with it, or to let them know so they could resolve any issues if I had any.
Yes, I purchased this item for myself with my own money and, no, I did nor receive any discount or whatever for my favorable review.
I must admit, I was impressed with the meters quality and ‘feel’. It came with a small manual, which was sufficient to explain the different settings, a pair of well-made probes, a liquid temperature sensor probe, and a handy storage/carrying case.
I compared the Proster DVMM 6000 to two other meters that I have. The RadioShack DVMM, which was RadioShack’s best meter back in 1995/97, and is also an auto range meter, but otherwise, has a lot less features than the Proster.
The “other meter” (I decided not to name it in this review), I compared it with was only a few days old and it contained all the features of the Proster as well as the two features the Proster doesn’t have. However, that ‘other meter’ was not an auto range meter and as far as ‘cons’ go, a meter without the auto range feature is perhaps, carrying a “huge con”.
On the other hand, auto range meters are typically 3 times slower than a ‘manual range’ meter, (at least in this price range). The Proster DVMM 6000 was faster than my RadioShack meter and both being auto range meters, I would say that’s a plus.
The Proster DVMM 6000 has so many features that it’s easier to name the features that it doesn’t have. In fact, of the “popular and sought after” features, the Proster DVMM 6000 does not have a backlighting capability for its LCD screen, and it does not have the “NCV” feature, (noncontact voltage detection).
The fact that the Proster does not have a backlit screen was more significant to my needs than the lack of an NCV. I do tend to use a DVMM and dim light conditions and when it came to spotting the smaller symbols, I found it difficult. However, I will say that the Proster does have a very large LCD screen, which is easy to see and read in a reasonably lit environment.
The NCV feature was not really a problem for me. This feature is not reliable enough to forgo using test leads on AC power outlets to tell if it’s live or not. It so happens that the second, ‘other meter’, that I mentioned earlier, does have the NCV feature.
I found the NCV feature on that meter, failed to indicate three of seven AC power outlets as “live”. Even their manual insists that the NCV feature should not be relied upon and instead, one should always use the probes to make the final determination and I tend to agree.
As I said earlier, the probes included with the Proster are well made. However, as most meters sold for under $50, the Proster’s probes are not capable of accepting any other attachments or tip changes. You may want to add a higher quality pair of probes to your cart when you purchase a meter. Otherwise, you won’t be able to add alligator and small-wire test clips & leads.
As far as accuracy goes, I was able to confirm with reasonable confidence, that the Proster DVMM 6000 was more accurate than the RadioShack meter. However, I must point out that I have no equipment certified to test DVMM accuracy. I used a comparative test method for acquiring my results. I applied my single function generator, my DC voltage power supply, and several different “precision resistors”, (which had a very tight deviation tolerance), to make the final assessment.
Between that and the fact that the RadioShack meter has been in use for over 20 years, I feel confident that the discrepancy between the two meters was due to the inaccuracy of the RadioShack meter. The Proster seems to be within the tolerances specified in the manual.
I gave the Proster 5-Stars because I was not only impressed with it; I was impressed with Proster’s customer support and communication. I had the opportunity to experience this first hand when I contacted them with several questions.
I definitely recommend the Proster DVMM 6000 for anyone who’s trying to keep their purchase of a decent DVMM under $50.00 and likes to know that there is a solid, fast responding customer support in Proster’s infrastructure.

Cap test. Caps in the 400uf range take about 5 secs to read(charge) while smaller caps are much faster. Read one cap at 90picofarad which shows as 0.09nf on the screen. This is at its lowest scale of 40nf. Stated accuracy ranges from 2.5% to 5% depending on range.
Temperature probe was quite off at room temp. Showed 23C against 19.6 actual(17% error?) I also held the probe against my soldering iron reading 333C and 300C on hi and low settings, showing that it works at these temperatures, but I could not confirm accuracy of reading, however it is certainly in the right range..
I have not checked the current functions but have every reason to expect it will meet stated accuracy of 1.2% for AC below 6amp, 2% for 20amp scale. DC current claims 1% to 600ma and 2% for the 6A and 20 amp scale. Also have not checked the transistor hFE function but I assume it will work as stated. The probes that come with it work fine and are comfortable to hold. The flip stand on the back is a little flimsy and only locks in one position which I think is too low of an angle but that is a small thing. All and all, a great meter with good accuracy and a wealth of extra worthwhile functions!
Je ne vais pas ré-écrire la notice ici mais juste aborder les points principaux, ce qui m'a plu et ce qui m'a moins plu à propos de cet article.
Bon point, le multimètre est vraiment grand (presque 190 x 90 mm avec des chiffres de 23 mm de haut !) et l'affichage est très lisible, bien que dépourvu de rétro-éclairage (ceci dit, il m'arrive rarement de faire des mesures électriques dans le noir complet...).
La pochette fournie (légèrement rembourrée et équipée d'une dragonne), bien qu'en plastique, est d'assez bonne qualité et permet de protéger le multimètre ainsi que ses accessoires.
Le multimètre est protégé par une véritable coque en caoutchouc amovible, destinée à absorber les chocs en cas de chute (pas en vulgaire plastique dur et inutile comme sur certains multimètres bas de gamme).
Les câbles fournis sont très corrects, avec une prise coudée côté multimètre et une longueur totale d'un mètre. Les sondes ne sont pas trop fines (comme souvent dans cette gamme de prix) et peuvent même se "clipser" à l'arrière du multimètre.
Une sonde de température d'environ 1 mètre de long est également fournie.
Il est vrai que le support arrière (une simple pièce en plastique) n'a pas l'air d'être d'une grande solidité mais elle permet toutefois de maintenir le multimètre incliné d'environ 30 ° sur un support horizontal (placer le support arrière le plus verticalement possible pour éviter les contraintes au niveau de la charnière).
Les mesures sont très précises (largement assez pour toute utilisation domestique voire professionnelle) et "l'autorange" est super pratique (sélection automatique du calibre approprié).
Liste des grandeurs "mesurables" :
- voltages DC & AC,
- intensités DC & AC,
- résistance,
- continuité (et test de diodes),
- capacité,
- fréquence / rapport cyclique,
- température (avec la sonde fournie),
- mesure de gain de transistors (HFE).
Fonctions supplémentaires :
- "RST" : réinitialisation (évite de devoir ramener le bouton rotatif en position "OFF"),
- "Hz/DUTY" : affichage de la fréquence / rapport cyclique lors de la mesure de tensions et intensités alternatives,
- "REL" : "calibrage" de l'affichage (soustrait la valeur affichée avant mesure à la valeur mesurée pour prendre en compte la capacité / résistance des cordons),
- "HOLD" : permet de figer l'affichage de la valeur mesurée (pour relecture à postériori),
- "RANGE" : sélection entre "autorange" et "manuel" + sélection du calibre séquentiellement.
Quelques restrictions :
Le multimètre se met automatiquement sur "DC" (continu) lorsqu'on passe de "OFF" à "V" ou "A" (mesure de voltages et d'intensités).
Pour mesurer une tension ou intensité alternative, il faut donc sélectionner "V" (ou "A") avec le bouton rotatif, appuyer sur la touche bleue "DC/AC" afin de choisir "AC" (alternatif) puis en dernier brancher les sondes sur la source alternative à mesurer.
Ceci dit, il m'est déjà arrivé par mégarde de brancher les sondes en premier sur une prise secteur 230 V (le multimètre étant sur "OFF") puis d'allumer le multimètre en plaçant le bouton rotatif sur "V". La mesure affichée ne correspondant pas du tout à ce que j'attendais (normal puisqu'il était sur "DC"), je suis vite passé sur "AC" grâce au bouton bleu "DC/AC" et il ne s'est rien produit de particulier, j'ai bien eu ma mesure de 230 V.
Je n'ai pas la preuve que ce genre de manipulation soit néfaste mais dans le doute, j'évite (la bonne procédure est d'ailleurs bien décrite dans le manuel)...
Lors de mesures de capacités, j'ai obtenu des résultats très précis mais il faut savoir que plus la capacité est grande, plus il faudra de temps avant d'obtenir sa valeur (le temps que le condensateur soit saturé, sans doute). On rencontre un phénomène comparable sur des multimètres plus chers mais à un moindre degré.
Dès qu'on sélectionne la mesure de capacité, Le multimètre affiche une valeur de quelques nF (due notamment aux cordons et sondes) : appuyer sur "REL" pour ramener l'affichage à "0000" puis mesurer continuellement jusqu'à ce que la capacité correcte apparaisse d'un coup.
La notice évoque un temps de 15 secondes pour mesurer un condensateur de 200 µF (capacité maximum mesurable). J'ai pour ma part observé un délai d'environ vingt secondes pour 100 µF mais il est vrai qu'avec de telles valeurs, on arrive aux limites techniques de l'appareil (la mesure de petits condensateurs étant quasi instantanée). Avec l'habitude, on devine à peu près le temps que va nécessiter une mesure de capacité en fonction du condensateur...
Bien que les deux piles AAA soient faciles à remplacer (il suffit juste d'ôter la coque en caoutchouc jaune puis de retirer l'unique vis qui retient le petit couvercle du compartiment à piles), le remplacement des fusibles relève de la mission impossible... En effet, en plus de ce qui vient d'être dit, il faut retirer le fond du multimètre (retenu par trois vis) pour accéder au circuit imprimé principal mais sa face visible ne comporte aucun composant (juste des pistes conductrices)... Les fusibles étant situés de l'autre côté du circuit imprimé (ainsi que tous les composants), il faut pour y accéder le désolidariser complètement de l'avant du multimètre (dix vis de plus à retirer). Sachant que selon le modèle de bouton rotatif utilisé, il n'est pas impossible que la bille de "crantage" soit éjectée avec son ressort lors du démontage et que le tout soit assez difficile à remonter ensuite (à confirmer car pas encore fait...). Prudence, donc...
Personnellement, ce type d'intervention ne me rebute pas spécialement car je suis électromécanicien de formation mais ce n'est peut-être pas le cas pour tout le monde. De plus, vu qu'il faut démonter intégralement le multimètre pour remplacer l'un ou l'autre des fusibles, je me demande si cela ne fait pas sauter la garantie...
Le manuel livré est bien plus explicite en anglais qu'en français (dont la traduction faite n'importe comment ne veut pratiquement rien dire...).
En conclusion, mis à part ces quelques détails, je suis très satisfait de mon investissement qui, je l'espère, me servira longtemps.
A noter qu'il existe aussi le PROSTER VC99 (pour environ 7 € de plus) dont les différences avec le VC97 sont notamment :
- présence d'un "bargraph" sous les chiffres en bas de l'affichage LCD (pour visualiser plus facilement les variations de la grandeur mesurée),
- mesure des températures en Fahrenheit en plus des degrés Celsius,
- mémorisation des valeurs "MAX" et "MIN" lors d'une mesure (bouton "MAX/MIN" en lieu et place du bouton "RST" du VC97),
- deux positions distinctes "Volts DC" et "Volts AC" sur le bouton rotatif,
- la 4ème position du bouton rotatif regroupe 3 fonctions accessibles séquentiellement via le bouton bleu "DC/AC" : Ohms / test diodes / test continuité.
J'espère que ce commentaire, objectif et sans concessions, aura pu vous aiguiller dans votre choix...
