ANENG goes crazy with new meters
graybeard:
I have bought two Aneng meters. They were both crap, inaccurate and built or poor materials. I will not buy another.

What models? I own a few and they're pretty good for what they are. Accuracy is spot on.

I have only one, but I totally agree. Perfectly accurate, feels nice in the hand for the price. They’re way better than most super-cheap meters.

I like the jack arrangement and will be interested to see what Auto does. Nice to add the rel and min/max. Maybe next time for a bar meter. Q10 could be nice too.

I have the RM102Pro (same as Aneng 113D) which also has the "Auto" setting:
- The feature works reasonably well, especially when you need to make various different types of measurements without having to switch between V/ohms.
- The major drawback is the autorange speed, which is much slower than selecting the ranges directly.
- The continuity response time is very slow in this mode. The dedicated function is better for that.
The overall quality of mine is low. Sure, it has a very nice form factor and it feels polished, but I can't get past the tiny fuses (very hard to find and relatively expensive), the rotary switch mechanical issues (bad contacts and ease to leave the switch in between two ranges) and the fact this particular model leaves the inputs shorted through the 200mA fuse when the rotary position is in OFF. The models here may have these issues fixed, but I wouldn't buy another Aneng/Richmeters/Zoyi/whatever other rebrand of these.

I'm interested to see what happens over time with them. Case in point, the aforementioned UT61E which can drift a fair amount in the first year of ownership (I had one). I'm not sure if the Aneng meters have any user adjustable calibration as well.
