What We Like
- ✓60000-count display — more resolution than any Fluke under $400
- ✓CAT IV 600V rating — the safest category, suitable for utility service entrance
- ✓Dual display shows two measurements simultaneously (e.g. AC+DC, V+Hz)
- ✓0.025% basic DC accuracy embarrasses meters at twice the price
- ✓AC+DC simultaneous measurement for true total RMS on mixed signals
Limitations
- ✗Brymen brand is unknown to most buyers — requires research to discover
- ✗$140 is a premium price that needs justification over the UT61E+
- ✗No built-in NCV — requires a separate non-contact tester
