I don’t for sure but I suspect that a lot of people may reject it out of hand because it has that hand made look about the case, in particular with area around the screen which is the result of trying to use a standard case instead of developing a dedicated one. The new version gets round that issue but I think it’s form factor then becomes an issue to many, whereas the DE5000 looks like a multimeter and as a result is more acceptable aesthetically. |

I made a fiberglass case for my device with my own hands, I took the stand from an old multimeter. I really didn't like the color of the original buttons - the bright color hurts the eyes, so I picked up a calm gray palette. I also have a DE-5000, but I like the XJW01 more for ease of use and for displaying the results.. ;) |

I think it would be better if they had also included the push-in terminals like the DE-5000 so you didn't need to have those leads laying across the bench. |

I was looking at picking up the Hantek LCR meter. Both have 0.3% accuracy. The Hantek has a lot of frequency ranges up to 100K, so is there any advantage to buying this instead? To be honest I don't need anything super accurate, because I will just be testing old stock to make sure they are good before using them and to check caps in old equipment. My budget is up to $200, but prefer to keep under 150 if possible, so open to all LCR meters suggestions. |
