My old VOM, which surprisingly, looks like a very early version of this meter, was getting unreliable. I went to Hamcation and talked to the people at the Uni-T booth. They didn't bring any stock to the show, but had display models and talked to me about features of the different models. We had a very pleasant conversation and I chose a meter much better than my old one, the UT195DS. It is built like a tank, and appears to be industrial rated. I liked the dual display, analog and digital. the feature to check phase of 3-phase motors is something I will never use, but capacitance, frequency, amps, all will be used.
As a side, I looked at the display and saw absolutely beautiful, high-end test equipment. All of the equipment was above my expertise and budget, but it still looked very professional.
The only bone I have to pick is this. I bought if Friday morning in Orlando. It had to be shipped from Texas. I asked them to hold shipment since I was travelling and the package would sit on my steps for porch pirates to get. The seller agreed and put on the order to wait a week to ship. That afternoon, I received an email that the package was shipped. Monday morning, I received the delivery notice. So, my only gripe is that they provided Excellent customer service and shipped the meter so fast, that it beat me home. I really don't think that is a bad thing.
