Review on πŸ”§ BSIDE Digital Multimeter with Color LCD Display, 9999 Counts, Voltmeter, Rechargeable Battery, Smart Mode, Capacitance, Ohm, Hz, Diode, Duty Cycle, Live Check, Voltage Tester - Black by Rick Gondoras

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unusual test light on tester

Edit: The company contacted and sent me a new one, this new one reads the voltage within 0.05v of other multimeters tested. Everything else in the rating remains valid. I'll start by saying that it looks good and comes with a nice case. Although that's where the good things end. I knew it wouldn't be a good multimeter for the price and specs, but I still wanted to give it a try. Firstly it's just a fancy digital test light, it just reads the voltage. Doesn't read resistance, current or anything else. Just tension. I didn't expect it to read more, but they literally call it a "multimeter". You might think, hey, maybe it would be cool to have a little digital voltmeter anyway. I would just buy a digital test lamp at this point. And my biggest criticism of this tool is that even though it reads the suspense, it doesn't even get it right. I've read that one battery I know of is 12.5v (tested with my digital test light and a legitimate clip-on multimeter) and THIS THING IS 14.4v. The machine didn't work, we already checked the battery has 12.5 volts and the thing is almost a full 2 volts out. So at this point it works like a $5 test lamp. "I'm tense at all, I don't need a number." Big waste of money. I keep this as a joke and as a reminder to stay away from cheap precision instruments.
