UT61E plus vs Brymen 257s vs Brymen 235 vs Ut195T
« on: October 21, 2022, 06:13:01 pm »
Hello, i want to change my old multimeter, ut 61e, a good one for me. I don't usually do main meas.
B257s is a good one, diode voltage is low,
B235 is a good multimeter with LoZ, without bargraph
ut61e plus has a plus in counts but lacks LoZ, what voltage has when measuring diodes?,
ut 195 is a rough varriant with loZ and a torch

I want a quick range multimeter, eventually LoZ, AA or AAA battery is a plus for me

Have a nice day

avoid uni-t, stick to brymen. just better quality, roughness, specifics, accuracy, calibration stability etc.

The newer UNI-T models are mechanically quite well built - much better built than the UT61E (I have an UT89X that is quite similar to the UT195).

Electrically I can tell that at least the UT89X is very fragile - good for low-power electricity/electronics use. The UT195 is very robust, judging by the review and photographs below:
https://lygte-info.dk/review/DMMUNI-T%20UT195DS%20UK.html

The UT195 is a relatively expensive model for a 6000 count meter, rivaling with Brymens BM235 and BM257 in this regard. However, it has quite a number of interesting features that can be useful for electronics, such as 20kHz bandwidth and 20+MHz frequency meter, as well as a reasonable capacitance meter (Uni-T tends to do good in this feature). However, this model is very new and does not have the track record of the aforementioned Brymens.

You should be good with any of these models.

Oh, the "whys" of the datasheets... The information is there not to be an axiomatic truth, but instead each speck of data must be slowly inhaled while carefully performing a deep search inside oneself to find the true metaphysical sense...

I have the Unit ut61E+, I am really very satisfied.

For the price of the Uni-T UT61E you also could afford a Brymen 786- and would support the EEVBlog ;-)
(At least judging from the actual prices in germany)

(I admit I am also a bit confused by the pricing, seems that in germany some prices just take a big jump)

Hello and thanks everyone for answers.
In my diy projects it is usefull a higher diode voltage testing. What about this ut-61e plus? Otherwise i would go for this for Bm235, a good multimeter. BM237 is a very good choice, but pc connection is not a plus for me, nor the lower voltage diode testing. Many people said it has a useful bargraph.

Even a 3V diode test voltage may not be enough in some cases.

The 121GW can switch between 3V and 15V.

Could you not use a power supply for your diode testing?

Or could you stretch your budget for the BM867s?
