Wytnucls:
There is a GS certified version of the UT61E for Europe, with proper fuses.
The meters are in the spreadsheet already, to be published shortly.

Hi.
Ordered mine from Taobao via a freight forwarder, payed only 55USD on 11.11 deal last year.
Overall, I'm satisfied with it. however, recently, caught a strange bug. I was just switching the dial to a different function, when suddenly the low battery indicator went on, the DMM started to beep, and a shutdown followed few seconds later. I then turned the switch to Off position then turned it on again - no low battery was ever registered since then. I opened up the cover, and measured the voltage, it was more than 6 volts, so the batteries were fresh. Dunno, if this will repeat, just letting you know.

The revision I have is 130820-2:

Can't say I'm a fan of the Transformers-like design of the thing. Looks kinda like a toy. I like my tools to look like serious stuff. The non-plus looked better IMHO.

The UT161E is claiked to be third party certified, so it may have the proper fuses or is properly rated.

Let's make a very clear distinction between the two. People might get confused.

The UT61E+ and the UT161E+ are two very different meters.

The 161E+ isn't an Aliexpress special, it's sold by reputable shops like Batronix and costs money in the Brymen price range:

You think they are very different? I suspect they are not, apart from unpopulated or lower grade parts populating the PCB. This is based on the latest instances of their previous generation UT61E (mine included), which had non-populated protection everywhere but was very different than the early UT61E meters posted here in EEV and everywhere.

Also, a clarification: there is no UT161E+, only UT161E - similar thing for UT161B and UT161D.

BTW, other certified meters are also sold on Aliexpress/Banggood, such as the UT191E/T series

(I don't know how they passed it with mA shared with V/ohms, but maybe the safety test are not as they used to be)
