You seem to think that your experience, your requirements, are somehow universal. |

No I just know a piece of shit when I see one |O An unreliable meter has no use but for an ugly paper weight |

I'll say it again. Slowly. Your experience is not everyone's experience. |

The meters may look good when bought but they quickly degenerate. Inexperienced users or users that have not used another meter before will not have anything to compare to. The VC99 is widely advertised as a replacement for the very popular fluke 17B and it is as such that I came across it. It is a farce and a lie. On the other hand you are assuming that the meter is great because you have had ONE good experience. |

I also said that neither is it the best, even in its price bracket. Its marketing as a fluke is a lie and a fraud, agreed. I now own a fluke 87V and it is incomparably superior. But for 95% of what I do the Vichy is fine. I just think hyperbole and categorical statements, without any context about what the device is being used fo, is as daft and juvenile as Mac vs PC vs Linux debates. |
