Review on Proster Autoranging Multimeter: A Comprehensive AC/DC Current Voltage Tester with 6000 Count Digital Multitester for Amp, Ohm, Volt Meter Capacitance, Temperature Measurement, and Continuity Testing by Jimmy Scaturro

This is the Swiss Army Knife of digital multimeters! Okay, it might be missing a feature or two, but it has everything else. I found the Proster DVMM 6000 easy to get used to right from the start after using my 20 year old RadioShack meter… well, 20 years. I have to admit I was impressed with the quality and "feel" of the meter. . It came with a small manual just enough to explain the various settings, a pair of well-made gauges, a liquid temp gauge and a handy storage/carrying case. I compared the Proster DVMM 6000 to two other meters I own. The RadioShack DVMM, which was RadioShack's top meter in 1995/97, and also an autoranger, but otherwise has far fewer features than the Proster. "Another counter" (I chose not to mention it in this review). ), I compared it to one that was only a few days old and had all of Proster's features plus two features that Proster doesn't have. However, this 'other gauge' was not an autoranging gauge, and as for the 'cons', a non-autoranging gauge can have a 'huge minus'. On the other hand, auto-ranging meters are typically 3x slower than "manual-ranging” meters (at least in this price range). The Proster DVMM 6000 was faster than my RadioShack gauge and both are auto rangers, which I would call a plus. The Proster DVMM 6000 has so many features that it's easier to name features it doesn't have. In fact, of the "Popular and Requested" features, the Proster DVMM 6000 does not have the ability to backlight its LCD screen and it does not have an "NCV" (non-contact voltage detection) feature. The fact that the Proster doesn't have a backlight was more important to me than the lack of NCV. I tend to use DVMM and low light, and when it came to defining smaller characters I had a hard time. However, I would like to say that the Proster has a very large LCD screen that is easy to see and read in a well-lit room. The NCV function was not a problem for me. This feature is not reliable enough to refuse to use test leads in AC outlets to determine if they are live or not. It just so happens that the second, "other counter" I mentioned earlier has an NCV function. I found the NCV function on this meter but couldn't list three of the seven AC outlets as 'live'. Even their management insists that the NCV function should not be relied upon and instead the sensors should always be used for the final determination, and I tend to agree. As I said before, the sensors that come with the Proster are well made. However, because most gauges sell for less than $50, Proster sensors cannot accept other tips or change tips. When you buy a blood glucose meter, you can add a pair of higher quality sensors to your basket. Otherwise, you can't add test clips, alligator wires, and thin wires. In terms of accuracy, I could confirm with some confidence that the Proster DVMM 6000 is more accurate than the RadioShack meter. However, I should note that I do not have a DVMM certified accuracy tester. To get the results I used the comparative testing method. I used a single function generator, a DC power supply, and several different "precision" resistors (with a very tight tolerance) to make a final guess. That being said, and the fact that the RadioShack gauge has been in use for over 20 years, I'm sure the discrepancy between the two gauges is due to the inaccuracy of the RadioShack gauge. The Proster appears to be within the tolerances listed in the manual. I gave the Proster 5 stars because not only was I impressed; I was impressed with the customer care and communication with Proster. I had the opportunity to experience this firsthand when I contacted them with a few questions. I would definitely recommend the Proster DVMM 6000 to anyone trying to keep their purchase of a decent DVMM under $50 and want to know that the Proster.Rich infrastructure has reliable, responsive customer support
