An fluke 189 will go up to 50,000 uf, tested up to 12,000uf and was spot on, and doesn't cost a fortune 199$ usd at fixmyfluke.com
they have several models ... bought a second fluke189 from them, very satisfied and clean, and i finally managed to find 2 more bp189 battery packs for a total of 3 ....
Im waiting for an restocking of accuhard a101 usb lcr meter, sure it need an pc, but at 120$ its still par on specs with an deer de-5000
but im hesitating between the two ... found on ebay some tweezers who goes on standard dmm plugs spacing and other with kelvin modes gold plated under 25$...
An fluke 8846a goes up to 100,000 uf if i recall, but at minimum 1.2 k$$$ outch
In the not recent section i have : my Gossen's 28s and 29s goes up to 30,000 uf, 2x fluke 189, just sold an old bk precision 5490 (aka metrix mx556) who could go up to 50,000 uf too, they aged very well and where all in specs
There's not a ton of meters who can do 2000uf and up
for an dmm a large capacitor may take up to 10 secs to display, and a real lcr meter may be faster, and have more options
Totally against oled based meters and some keysight, and some other badly designed brand of meters, my personal choices where data logging and easy fuses access, and external power supply possibility, i totally hated to open the fluke 83 at my job to change the fuses, changed them for the 189, way way better
Dont know why the 187 and the 189 did not gain more exposure than th 8x series, tried the 287 and 289 and hated them
The eevblog gw121 is tempting but i'll wait for more maturity and corrected physical parts and firmware bugs before buying it.
