Fluke 87V MAX versus Hioki DT4282 compared [video]
Jiri Bekr:
Hello guys,
I am bringing you my Fluke 87V MAX versus Hioki DT4282 video - Two hi-end industrial multimeters compared side to side. Most of the important features for everyday serious probing are thoroughly tested, and their behavior and implementation is examined. Comprehensive table with 75 rows of different parameters is also available for download here or under the video for clearer evaluation or easy later return for some info.
PS: few bugs and problems found :)

I had to stop watching pretty quickly. The Fluke was definitely done dirty. A 6000 count meter is expected to have worse specifications compared to a 60000 count meter. The price for the fluke was also very skewed as well (I see the 87Max listed as $588 USD, but the comparison showed it as $994 USD :o).
The 6000 count Fluke 87 is more comparable to the 6000 count Hioki DT4261, and a fairer comparison to the 60000 count Hioki 4282 would have been the 60000 count Fluke 287.

Not sure what you are getting at as it doesn't make any more sense to 'compare' those meters than it would to compare an Audi sedan to a John Deere tractor. The whole point of an 87V MAX is that it is a rugged, durable meter for use in difficult environments. So its USPs (unique selling points) are the IP67 rating, the 4-meter drop rating, extended battery life and limited lifetime warranty. None of the issues you compare are of much relevance to the vast majority of customers that would purchase this meter. Also, if you are going to use US$ as a price comparison you should use (at most) the US list price from Fluke which is $589, or else be explicit about the source of the prices.

Your stopping watching very quickly is the problem here.
If you would actually watch it, you would see how I compare them when Fluke is running in Hi-Res 20 000 counts mode.
The price is actual price I took from two Czech OFFICIAL distributors (Teste.cz for Hioki and GHVTrading.cz for Fluke, feel free to check out, they cost even more today). And if you actually watched the video, you would also hear that prices may vary depending on where you are, and that these prices include 21% tax. It's impossible for me to find prices for every market on the planet and mention them all...
The 6 000 / 20 000 counts Fluke 87V series is fully comparable to Hioki DT4282, as they are both industrial hi-ends and there is not that significant price difference as between 87V MAX and DT4261. 87V MAX costs twice as much... And trying to compare DT4282 against F287? Are you serious? F287 also costs exactly twice as much as DT4282.
There is no problem with these mentioned in the video, the only problem is you not watching the video, and rather trying to dishonor someone's work based on made up arguments, fabricated by you, that are far from truth. I am not responsible for people not seeing my video, and for them making up their opinions based on nothing, just made up stuff. Also, this behavior is very unprofessional.

Jiri, as others already mentioned, you’re comparing apples to oranges.
If you want to make a fair comparison, then compare the Hioki DT4282 with Fluke 287.
