Hi everyone, ist there an alternative to the often recommended Der EE De-5000 LCR meter? The Der EE is quite expensive on german Ebay, I would have to pay quite a hefty tax, and I must pick it up at the customs offices.

All the other handheld LCR meters seem to be either total crap, or expensive as hell.

Just curious how much tax they add. I am in the US and paid a little leas than $100

It is very useful.

There is a reason they are so often recommended - very good value for money, and no real competitor in that same price bracket.

I have a Peak LCR45, a Tonghui TH2822C, and a CKT5000, so I never bothered to get a DE-5000  >:D

Hi,

Last month I´ve bought a DE-5000 and was impressed about the accuracy - Test it against our GenRad and Keysight LCR at work, really good and with the spending money in mind, it´s best bang for bucks and ways above it´s price.
It´s no surprise, because it is a 1:1 clone of a GenRad product.
I´ve bought it on ebay, with all options including.
All in I´ve payed appx. 140€ including taxes - Still best bang for buck, because:
Our Keysight LCR which is in many cases equal to the DE5000 costs about 700€ incl. calibration.

No.
As wrote before, I´ve bought it on ebay from a japanese seller.
When it´s arrived in germany, I´ve got a letter from the customer office.
They wanted me to call them back via telephone - I´ve done it, they want simply a screenshot of my PayPal bill.
After sending them this, it came wit DHL Express Courier.
He wanted the additional tax in cash, appx 32€, then you got it.
Buy the DE-5000, You won´t regret it...

I bought mine from amazon.com, they ship to Germany and take care of customs and VAT (taxes are paid up front). I think I paid around 120€, so may or may not end up cheaper than on eBay from Japan, but definitely more convenient.
