Aneng M118A review
No wonder I ended up with this multimeter -- a no-brainer, fly-paperweb for catching people after they've flitted away an old multimeter, wont to pick up the first thing that catches their eye. Which I did. Instant gratification. Aneng pretty much dominates low-end, cheap functionality with upscale features, for me, M118A auto-ranging. (They've also smaller models, some aren't bad on the nifty scale, even running off 2032 5V computer batteries for executives with a DMM in their shirtpocket instead of a pen.) Watched a Chinese distribution factory review, but there's better, a hell'va nice 15minute review as well. Stacked up against overall better and certainly more accurately calibrated meters. The saddest part is the no-contact voltage detection didn't work on the particular unit being tested or is outright engineering craps. The sensor protrudes from the PCB at the top of case, encircled by plastic from the case. In proximity it should pick voltage if present. Looked neat so at least I can hope mine might work (if not I'll test it without the case from the PCB). The review can be found on Bing's video collection from a Aneng M118A search -- it's the first listed with the most views. There's simply no comparison to be had in that price range. Either get old-school scaled mirror, needle and calibration dial, a junk digital for the totally ignorant, with everything past or near to the Aneng capabilities in yesterday's rotary selector -- not multiranging. Most generally and for the least amount of cost for value possible. The Auto-Ranging appears to be at times a little quirky, watching the meter's "brain" decide what do before responding with a value. Different for me, as I've never had one. Included cables compared to a higher quality pair also stresses value. Where the review really makes a person suck it in, however, is that there's a 33% mark-up price on the M118A since four month's ago when the review was published. Hot items for how long did that to take me for another five bucks? (6000 display count I also assumed incorrectly for simply pixel quality -- whereas it's a measure of accuracy of the display to present a rendition, as it were of granularity achievable, by precision from signals engaged at the sensors.) |
