I cannot decide between BM235 vs. BM257s --- End quote --- 235 has two level EF testing, AVG record mode, Beeplit continuity, and VFD. 257 has a bargraph and serial. --- End quote --- 235 also has 10 min backlight, caps <10mF 257 has CREST Thanks, Dave! |

Apart from 3 Keysight multimeters, I also have two Aneng 8008s, an Aneng AN870, and an Aneng Q10 on the way to me. The Anengs are good, cheap, multimeters IMHO. |

Finally, ordered EEV case and BM235 from Welectron. Thanks for the clues. |

Hello.. looking to buy my first multimeter and i am between amazon 90dm600 (or rather similar 90dm610) and aneng 870 or 8008.which one would you recommend for a beginner. I might need to measure mains. so I am looking something safe for maximum 40-50euro.any other multimeter to recommend? thank you. |

As far as I know, Amazon is no longer selling meters. --- Quote --- I might need to measure mains. so I am looking something safe --- End quote --- I think that would leave out the Aneng's, though for electronic/low voltage stuff the AN870 gets pretty good comments on the forum. The Uni-T UT161D has decent protection and decent (but not top-notch) specs. You should be able to find it on places like Aliexpress for less than 50 EUR. It's sibling, the UT61D+, is a bit cheaper but I'm not sure if it always has the protection. I think Uni-T may play the game they did with the UT61E where in some markets the protection was provided and in others mostly left out. For somewhat more money there's the UT161E (or UT61E+) with much better specs (but no temperature range). |
