What a great product at a fantastic price

Where else can you get a temperature multimeter that is a data logger that connects to your cell phone and can dump data into Excel for less? than $50. I very, very rarely write product reviews and buy a lot from Revain. In this case, I can only praise this product!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not the best

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sometimes it's better to pay a few dollars more.

I got the same model from a seller who was selling it for a few dollars more and the data transfer was unreliable. When I was spending a little more than the cheapest price, these 18Bs tended to be more reliable. Whether you need to log voltage, current, or frequency, you'll save thousands of dollars.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Big and bulky

The data logger does not work with Android phones.

Now maybe the recorder works with IOS phone after data logging with two Android phones just didn't work. The multimeter connected to the Android app and registration commands were sent to the multimeter but when trying to get data nothing was entered into the app. Since I only needed to record DC voltage (RV batteries) I bought this to replace that meter. USB voltage recorder Lascar Electronics EL-USB-3

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great meter, great price, feature rich but losing a star for sample rate

This meter works great, has all sorts of features including bluetooth capability and data logging. However, I only give it 4 out of 5 stars. I could keep it in my tool box but it won't work for the main reason I bought it which was data logging. As far as I can understand it only takes one sample at a maximum rate of 1 per second. pretty much useless for most needs. When someone wants to log data, they usually have to do it much faster.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Very expensive

No connection to Android app

I bought this meter because it has a data logging feature. I've tried everything to connect it to the OWON Multimeter app that I downloaded to my Android phone from the Play Store. It just won't connect to the app. I can see it and connect to it when I go to connected devices on my phone, but the OWON app doesn't connect to that information. I am an engineer with 30-40 years of experience. I've built computers and written software for Windows 10 and I just can't get this stupid app to work. DOโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Appearance

Worth the money

Data logging 3 times per second. Easy connection to the phone. Download the app, turn on Bluetooth on the meter and phone, connect to the meter WITHIN the app. You can change your meter settings from your phone. .well, at least AC to DC, V to Hertz to Ohms. This is a hefty meter. The backlight does not remain on permanently after switching on. I know a lot of us techies find this frustrating, but it lingers for about a minute. I bought it for remote viewing to save me finding a second pair ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Contact seller

Bluetooth setup is very different from other Bluetooth setups

For such a cheap meter this meter has a lot of features and looks very good. I'm writing this because I don't want anyone else to fix the issues I was having with the Bluetooth functionality. It does not work like other Bluetooth devices. Most devices will indicate in the iPhone settings that the device should connect with Bluetooth. The APP must be installed on THIS METER and the meter must be selected from the device list IN THE APP. You will NOT see the meter in the Bluetooth list on theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Modern

Bluetooth does not connect

I received the device. I was surprised that the box was open (not sealed or sealed. I was happily surprised that it came with a 9 volt battery. Battery cover to insert the battery. The screen was large and fairly readable when the backlight was on Keys are not as legible. Needs more contrast on keys and key labels and dial labels. I installed the app on my iPhone X. Bluetooth was on. I launched the app and clicked the plus sign in the app to pair the device Instead of a popup to show a counter,

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • So-so
