Multimeter AMPROBE AM-520

I was looking for a multimeter that measures microfarads but I got a lot more. I really like this multimeter and would recommend it to anyone who needs a good multimeter. You can buy six of these for the price of a Fluke, which is great for what I do. I really like the built-in flashlight and temperature sensor.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some errors

Slow autoranging and inaccurate temperature readings

I bought the unit primarily for HVAC so good temperature readings are important. Based on the positive reviews I was hoping this would suit my needs as it was quite cheap for the features advertised. This showed my body temperature under the tongue with 30 degrees Celsius, while other well-known good thermometers showed it with a typical 30 degrees Celsius. In this area it was constantly 2 degrees lower. It would then read a slush of about 34.6, while other known good thermometers would read a…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later

SOLID HIGH QUALITY METER - For the most part

Overall I am very pleased with the significantly higher build quality of this AM520 HVAC meter compared to $25 meters. I'm just a master DIYer and it's probably the best quality and closest to the professional gauge I currently own and probably more than I need, but I really like the professional feel. At first the capacitance range seemed odd to take readings but I guess I was just unfamiliar with this meter. After spending some time with him I am satisfied with his work as expected. The range

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
