Der EE De-5000 alternative

(1/16) > >>

derree:
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.

cdev:
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.
