NEW Fluke 87-VI Multimeter
BeBuLamar:
Actually it's not good that the new meter is bigger than the current 87V. I think the current 87V is the largest size I want for a handheld meter.

thoses where very good paper weight .... i never understood thoses Buuuuulkkkky sizes, and i'm complaining about the 287 289 sizes loll
the 87v should have been slightly pushed further, say 40k counts, even 50k 60k counts is nothing nowadays
capacitance ... ditch that, too many people don't understand that is a very basic and poor test ...
diode test to higher voltages YES
and YES you could add wifi or bluetooth connectivity
automode inputs AC, DC, Ohms for the noob loll I love that on some Gossens
size YES it is the limit of portability @BEBULAMAR wrote

The 87-IV was quickly retired for being too good.
The 87-V was a step backwards, it's the 87-III with a few tweaks.
Note: The 87-IV was renamed as the 187, maybe the best meter they ever made (depending on your opinion of the 287)

When my 87 (the original one I bought in 1988) broke and Fluke can't repair it they offered me $100 credit toward the 189. I went ahead and bought the 189 and I like it a lot. More than the 289 which I also have.

the 87-IV 187 189 where the best Fluke did as other(s) said, had them for a very long time
their main defects where the supercap .... other than that it was the case fragility when they become very old, mostly the screws posts / studs
you had at the time the usb-ir interface and the external battery pack for logging or long time use, 50k counts, easy to manipulate and use, it was their gem
it has some kind of a clone from VICTOR 98A+ ... the blue and a yellow model exists
and here they say : Victor 189A 98A+ 98C+ 50k counts ?? WiFi loll
