AN8009 Digital Multimeter Kit - Autoranging Multimeter for AC DC Voltage Measurement with Test Leads and Probes

PROS: excellent accuracy, 4 digits, lots of functions, long battery life CON: The auto-power-off feature is annoying. I now have 3 of these and have had the oldest for about 4 years. The accuracy is excellent for a meter this affordable. But, after 14 minutes, it beeps. You have to press a button to "extend" the time. After 1 more minute, it beeps again and will power off. I monitor things frequently for an hour or more, so this is annoying. You CAN disable the auto-power-off by holding the SEL/HOLD button down while you power on the meter... It doesn't shut off, but it still beeps. This is so annoying I removed the beeper on 2 of them. When I need the continuity testing function I use the 3rd one :-) It's not a permanent setting, so the next time you power it on, again you have to hold the SEL/HOLD down. The batteries last a LONG time so why is the auto-power-off time so short? Overall, excellent little meter.

I wanted a cheap pocket size meter to use when my Fluke wasn't necessary. Settled on this one. It was more expensive than the really cheap ones, but you get what you pay for. Almost as fast to settle and almost as accurate as my Fluke. Not a replacement for a Fluke but close enough when real speed and accuracy don't matter. The display is Large and Bright when the Backlight is on. The probes seem to be higher quality than the ones that come with the cheapest Meters. The Temperature Probe Works fine. At the end of the day, I'm very happy that I paid a few extra bucks to get this Meter.

So far I like it... but I will say straight away, buy new probes. The probes it comes with are complete garbage. Both sets it comes with are horrible. When doing continuity testing, if you just touch the two probes together and move them the readings go all over the place and they lose connection. I thought at first it was a broken wire in one of them, but no I think it has something to do with the plating on the probes themselves. I'm not entirely sure. I am entirely sure the probes are garbage though. Other than that, it's a nice cheap little multimeter.

I think it needs calibration

I have been impressed so far with this little meter. Seems to be pretty accurate and has a decent range of features that cover the basics I wanted it for very well. Decent selection of probes and gator clips. One small thing is that the stand doesn't hold it up at an angle in as sturdy a way as I would like - tends to fall back flat.

Per instructions, selected resistance mode and pushed the select button once to toggle to continuity function. Touching the 2 leads together resulted in random numbers flashing on the screen for a few seconds before the screen displays "O.L". Either the meter or the leads (or both) are defective. The unit does not come with batteries and getting the battery cover back on is a bit of a hassle. For almost $40, I was disappointed with the overall build quality of this meter. Sending it back to try a different meter. Since it didn't work, I probably should have given it one star, but I'm feeling generous today.

This replaces a 20-year-old Radio Shack multimeter. It is really surprising that I could get a high-counting meter this size that has so many features -- and a readable display all at an affordable price.

Aneng AN8009 is a good piece of test equipment. Accurate, reliable & easy to use. Also has NCV Non-Contact Voltage setting for live wire testing AN8008 does to have NCV it has a signal generator instead. I use both. I can definitely recommend Aneng equipment, too bad we don’t make these in USA.

Muy bueno y práctico. Mide 13 cm x 6.5cm Quedó exacto en un estuche que ya había comprado anteriormente. Es true rms. La sonda para medir la temperatura está muy buena, la revise midiendo temperatura en frío y caliente, funciona muy bien, de hecho da la temperatura ambiental sin necesidad de conectar la sonda. Las pinzas caiman y las otras son de buena calidad, todo está muy bien. La funda mide 22cm x 15 cm. La utilice para un multímetro Unit-t 169E que no tenía funda.

This is a great little multimeter for the price. I may order another one.

Funcionamento perfeito e bem preciso.

Compact en veilig voor herstellen of controle van electronica en elektriciteit, ideaal voor dys hobbyisten.
