I've said it before but I'll say it again, when UNI-T get it right they are up there with the big hitters, what a cracking meter, every thing about it just screams quality. Any chance you can have a look at a ET12S thermal imaging multimeter? Thanks Darren. (incidentally, nice giveaway, congratulations to the winner)

Ok gotta admit, this video made me buy this meter and I do not regret it at all. Bought mine locally, but the clamp and a full set of probes are on their way from China. What a deal, the quick response is everything, my old one was painfully slow. Thank you Darren!

Thank you for all these Uni-T multimeter reviews. Now I have a first world problem - decision paralysis! So many excellent but not perfect multimeters. I have the UT204+ AC/DC clamp with good DCV accuracy (0.2%) and I want a Uni-T multimeter to replace my sold Kyoritsu 1009. My multimeters measure 1.2V to 12V batteries 90% most of the time and 10% for capacitors, diodes and LEDs.

This looks like a winner indeed. Would love to see the “Joe Smith grill starter test” on this one!

Certainly got a ruggedised build to it and good input protection. Looked like a really clean build inside. Uni-T can produce some great products when they want to. Thanks for sharing.

LPF function to ensure accurate measurement of voltage and frequency of variable speed drive (VSD), and low impedance to prevent incorrect reading caused by ghost voltage.

Great, great review as usual. Thanks for sharing. And I agree: a great new DMM from UNI-T.

Excellent review. Very nice. I have always liked Uni-T great looks at an affordable price. The Clamp meter add-on is really nice. Having to carry only one meter is definitely a plus. Since it got 5/5 stars this one will be added to my ever-growing collection.

It's one of my favs! On my bench and used often 😊👍 UNI-T did an awesome job on this multimeter!

Thanks for the review

best channel to analyze electronic tools, I like when it tests continuity quickly, you can see the speed of the multimeters

One of the best offerings yet from Uni-T, very impressive - and it should be in this price range - unlike so many others its performance is equal to its asking price - though I am a bit disappointed to not see a U/L rating when getting into this price range, I have a $60 Greenlee meter thats U/L approved, its the gold standard.

Fantastic review. Yet another multimeter I now HAVE to buy 😂. It's clear that Uni-T listen to critiques and feedback from reviewers and customers which is the sign of a great business. I have 7 or 8 different pieces of Uni-T equipment and can attest to the build quality on all of them. I have bought the higher end Uni-T models so maybe the lower price models are not built as good on the cheapo's but they still have to turn a profit. Happy to rely on all readings from Uni-T, something I can't say about many other China based multimeter producers. I have some of the best meters that Fluke have to offer and they definitely have a place in my tools arsenal for ultimate measurement confidence but on most occasions I use one of the Uni-T's as the cost doesn't leave me devastated if dropped or popped and a replacement is required. Shelling out £500 or thereabouts for a new Fluke replacement is tantamount to open heart surgery on the wallet, £100 or less is far more acceptable and doesn't leave the wallet in trauma. Uni-T also seem to almost surpass Fluke in the sheer scope and range of their test equipment and also the measurement ranges of their meters which in most cases surpass Fluke in the breadth of functionality of most of their offerings. Mastech could have been a huge company had they followed the same business model, they had a great range of equipment, nice design cues and at really good prices but attention to detail, reliability and build quality was never there, still have a couple of clamp meters by Mastech, one for measuring in-rush current which is still working fine but I have a few other Mastech meters that have long since failed and usually between uses while sat in the zipper case. The Cable Tracer still works fine but the IR Temp gun packed up in short order, after around 3 to 4 months. The 5 in 1 multimeter which features Temp, Lumens, Decibels amongst other things is still OK but is hilariously cheaply made, horrendous toy quality plastics, the green boot overmould is the trashiest plastic/rubber crossover material ever, I wouldn't even design a dog turd collector using that junk. Great to see Uni-T not just rest on their laurels but keep innovating and improving their models and aspiring to be like Fluke instead of Vici. They keep moving forward in design and technology and they make some very aesthetically pleasing meters to a very high standard with premium plastics, the LCD screens are famously good even beating Fluke with their display qualities and are excellent in contrast, clarity and viewing angle with very bold black 7 segment digits in all lighting situations and that is across most if not all of Uni-T's range. Thanks for a great video, your lighting and camera work are top notch. I have watched your channel since it's earliest days and the depth and scope of your reviews is reliably fantastic. Have a great weekend.

Hello Darren. Great review, as always. I agree with the assessment. For me, in Ukraine, such a multimeter costs $125 US. Maybe a little pricey, but overall worth it. Thank you so much.

Ordered mine :) Your review was amazing. Enjoyed watching!

always excited about multimeter review

Oh yeah five stars baby! 🎉🎉 nice meter and review my man! 👍👏🏻

Aloha as always awesome review Darren the meter looks nani and very well made and has lots of features the only thing I wish was a 9v power battery instead of AAA batteries Aloha mahalo nui for sharing the review 😊😎🤙

Nice meter! I wonder how it compares to the Brymen 786. The selector switch is much like the Fluke 117. Uni-T did good on this one.

The Uni-t UT61e+ is BEST!!!

i have this i 😍 this DDM.tnx UNI-T

Been waiting for this model,, I already have this for few months now ,but still wanted to see your review

Tks

What a coincidence, my copy (including the ut-cs06a) came in 5 minutes ago. No thick manual only the Chinese leaflet.

great chanel, good luck

Couldn't the loZ setting be used to discharge capacitors?

❤Thank you for sharing

Am loving the way that Uni-t seem now to be embracing that new ncv detector post as standard and getting away from bits of flimsy wire or film.

Great review Darren! Im thinken about getting the 61e+ or the 117. What would you recommend for non professional use around the house? Im leaning towards 117 because the input protection seems better.

❤❤❤👍👍👍

This multimeter is designed for industrial electricians. Compared to the UT61e+, this model has a smaller range of measured values and a larger measurement error. UT61e+ has less error and is more accurate. Here in the video, when measuring resistors, a significant difference is visible. In addition, nothing is said about the possibility of measuring Tru-RMS in this multimeter. UT61e+ is not stated, but it measures with good accuracy up to 300 kHz and more.

RE330F 👌👌👌

An excellent review for the truly impressive meter. Love everything about it really. Had to fight the urge to make an impulsive buy at around 10:00, but I really don't need another UNI-T atm. 😅 And there is no need to measure the temperature - it's exactly 117°C from the UNI-T fever. 🤒

what im an unable to find is a good comparison vs 161e/61e+.

They replaced the serial port communication of the UNIT-61E with a silly USB HID device in the UNIT-61E+... and then they got rid of that and now made the logging require bluetooth? What's going on over there lol? Bluetooth could be an option but don't get rid of the serial port.

I have a 61e+ and an Aneng SZ20 and a couple of 10ks. So I am OK in the 'count' department. But I also have a ZOYI ZT702S and a OWON HDS272 and mainly interested in new hybrid Scope/DMM/(+) devices.

Hello Darren this uni t 117 is simple amazing multimeter !!! Beat fluke of the same range of price by far in my opinion

As a righty, I really like that left-thumbed, one-click access to auto-voltage, since this is probably what I want to measure 90% of the time and then shut the meter off. If I'm going to customize it for me, I'd probably but resistance one-click to the right of the off position. The beep that it makes when you switch the selector to current mode seems odd; wouldn't you want it to beep anytime the probes are in the current jacks instead? I likely don't know what I'm talking about, but there's not much danger trying to measure current when you are in voltage mode whereas the other way around is the problem, right?

I am seeing some serious downsides to this meter: 1) Disappointing DC accuracy of 0.3%. Why so low? 2) no mA and/or uA DC current range 3) no temperature measurement, how hard is that? This meter seems to be targeting electricians for field applications. But then, why would an electrician need 60K codes? Doesn't make any sense to me. And a DC precision of 0.3% isn't really "high precision", as advertised. You are better off with a higher end Brymen BM785 for example, that has a DC base accuracy of 0.03%, which is 10x better than this, and only costs around 125 Euros. Moreover, the Brymen is of superb quality and voltage protection, has both mA and uA DC current ranges, and twin temp measurement capability. The BT feature is neat though. The rest is meh.

I like it's flukee design.. 👍

Only one con viz. shared input of high current and mA but why is it concerning 😶,for you? Or else easily the best meter.

Hello, what would you say is the best cheap multimeter with decent accuracy?

Might be the one to replace my Yellow 117! I'd like to see the app and bluetooth functionality!

Hi Darren, 3 weeks ago, I was confused, I wanted a multimeter to cover my range of activities, I followed dozens of posts with different multimeters and in the end uni-t ut191T and uni-t ut117c remained in the basket, I had a hard time deciding , I like both, in the end I chose 117c, there are some minuses with this one too but... the order is on the way, I can't wait to test it, I hope it will be a good choice, which time will confirm. Uni-t started making great multimeters for all budgets. Congratulations for everything you do, for your involvement and professionalism. A small question: what would you have chosen? :)

It is imitation of Fluke 117 TRUE RMS Multimeter

Maybe a UT15B MAX review.

Darren, can You advice on ut61e+ vs ut117c? Can You do short comparison video? Many people are interested.

This vs ut61e+?

The inside more beautiful than outside. This is chinese brand but quality component better than japan meters. Thick trace layer, silver plated on the current shunt trace for increase current capability and readuce heat. Nice nice multimeter.

Better than a 117 IMHO 👍

Man-O-Man

Так и не получил ответ на 2 интересующих меня вопроса. Первый - можно ли измерить ток 0.5 мА? Второй - прозвонка диодов идет с "бип"?

Darren you have become bad-ass.

The only feature it's lacking is temperature... how about some sensible milliamp ranges??? 6A is not a milliamp range! UNI-T jumped too far down the rabbit hole copying Fluke. If they'd just made a good DMM all-around in this form factor it could have been, as you say, near perfect for its value.

😀👍🏻

TRMS bandwith limited to 1 kHz for mV range and 10 kHz for V range. this is $40-60 multimeter.

Should have said swinging the Uni-t" You are going to buy me the Uni-t 117C...😂

The Chinese completely copied the technical design from the Fluke 117c, not the appearance, but the arrangement of the elements: the bib, the screen and the symbols on the screen. This is not bad, the Unitrend used to collaborate with Fluke.

I dont own one but why do I immediately think of an expensive yellow meter with a similar model number??????

Hi Darren, I’ve been looking into a multimeter that can measure low voltage (

This design same as Fluke 117

Hard copy ftw

Hello, Did I won one of your Uni-t give away?😇

50% off?! I'll take one... Christmas is coming.

Good toy?

@KeepOnTesting Dear Darren, I have a serious capacitance measurement problem with the meter. For many of the capacitors around 10 uF, it keeps oscillating between 10 uF - 100 uF range when the capacitor is on a pcb. I never settles. It reads nothing. I have four other multimeters (Uni-t ut17b+, Owon HDS272, Rihcmeters 102 and Ananeg 3008) they all manage to read the capacitor correctly at the same conditions. You cannot measure the 400v 10uF capacitor which is almost on any smps circuit, without taking it out of the board. It's very annoying. Why not touch upon the capacitance measurement performance of the device please, which is not mentioned at all in your piece. Thank you. Except that, gorgeous device!.

Very well constructed meter... - for electricians. No Temperature, no microAmps-Range and even the (additional to buy) Amps-Clamp only with AC does not justify it as a MULTImeter in many ways. Congatulations to the winner "Ronnyliquor"! BTW: At which position is his posting in the comments of the video of the UT60BT? (This: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mslme9tp0ruZj2Q.html ) I can´t find his text neither even his nickname... Any explanation???

Anyone got solid aliexpress link?

Not for right handers😢

I would love to win sir because I love fixing electronics and I want to be an expert in electronics and I want to be an electrical engineer because my hobby is fixing electronics hope fully you choose me as a winner

Copy Fluke 117

Basically a fluke at budget price with more features. Uni-t just keeps on improving.

test capacitor max

intro then straight to adds :-(

Uni-t are the cheapest fluke
