Thank you very much for the time you took to put this online. I appreciate what you have done to help me and others. I am so thankful of you and others like you who take the time to share their experiences and knowledge. Can't thankyou all enough. Well done.
thanks for this great review. I just received one as a gift the other day and knew the basic function but you explaining all the different settings and symbols was very informative for me!!!
FYI - Regarding the APO fuction - it can be defeated on startup. I have this same meter in the slightly older model number (WH5000A), same meter and functions & also 6,000 count they just changed the model # to more accurately reflect the 6000 display count. On the APO, with my WH5000A if you want to defeat the APO feature hold down the "select" button while turning on the range switch and it beeps four or five times then the APO will disappear off the screen and the meter will stay on indefinitely until you turn it on the next time, this only works for one on/off cycle and must be repeated each cycle, but its very handy to be able to turn it off for those long sessions where you dont want to be bothered. Many meters have the APO and defeat feature, its built into most multimeter chip software packages. I have found this meter to be a great value and more reliable and accurate than one would expect in the price range. Mine was only $25 when I got it - theres also a little brother to this meter the Astro DT132A, its 4,000 count and also a pretty good little meter I have it as well.
Fantastic review, I just got this to install my house bathrooms Ditra Heated Floors, and this video really help me to understand the Multimeter and it functions a lot better, Thank you Sr.
Thx for the review. I had a Sperry DM6250 multimeter that used around the house for years. Last time I went to use it I turned it on and no display. I replaced the batteries and still no display. Looking for an inexpensive replacement for the types of things I use a multimeter for I stumbled across this video. Your review convinced me that this meter would provide all I needed and it was a good value for the price. I paid $29 on sale for the meter I obtained.
Very good review and I was glad to see your freq tests. I have one of these DVOMs and decided I needed to know how to change the battery. I found two screws on one end, but not the other and I did not want to try and pop it open in case there are screws hidden under a piece of plastic I have not discovered. If you know how, a brief response would be appreciated. Thanks!
Take off the rubber sleeve, there are two screws under that, and two screws under the stand piece. The instructions do not even show the stand.....I was just the opposite from you I found the two under the sleeve first'
As for the stand, you can simply push the top of the stand in and it will pop it out. It took me a minute to figure that out cause my fingers are far too large to get under the edge of it.
Just to say I bought this meter and its great feels solid, great features, I really like it, I was going to use it as a stop-gap to something pricier, but honestly I don't need to.
Two bugs with this meter: When measuring DC current, it won't awaken from APO with the 2 second button push (but does awaken when leads are in normal voltage input measurements) Display light goes out too quickly.
Thank you for the video. I have never had one of these devices in hand before 20 minutes ago. So I assume that I need to cut away some portion of the plastic cover on the male connector to be able to plug into the input jacks on the device? Nothing in the manual about that.
i have wh5000a and backlight goes off too soon 10 seconds. its so annoying that its way too short. im trying to get it 20-30 second duration or on/off switch.
yes select the ohms, diode and continuity on the dial and then push the select button above until your display shows the symbol for continuity and then test. If you have continuity the meter will make a continuous beep as long as your probes are placed on whatever you are testing.
Are you serious? Since when are any electronic components made in the USA? Even back when integrated circuits first came into existence when I was a kid they were made in China, Philippines, etc. Just open up any electronic device and look at the stamp on the IC's. We demand the lowest prices for our electronics, but never realize those prices aren't possible unless they're made by cheap labor overseas.

very good review, honest and practical. I wasn't sure about this multimeter but this video convinced me

Thank you for the review. I had just bought this multimeter and you pointed me in the right direction. 👌🏻

Thanks for the tip about switching off APO, very useful. The continuity speed on this meter is excellent and I have saved the DT132A to my wishlist.
Great review. Just got one of these and its definitely fine for a typical household multimeter. Thanks!

Great Review! I was thinking about spending a lot more but this will do just fine!

Thank you for the directions that they do not supply. Very relevant now I know how to use this thing.
no shit huh....lol....same here..I haven't used one in damn ages....!
Fantastic videos! Just what I needed to know!
Thanks so much for pointing out all the settings!
Thank you for a great review. This multimeter is good for measuring anything I need around the house.
Great product and good price point. I added it to my collection.
Thanks for the informative review. Just got it for $26 including tax and shipping. Seems a quite capable digital multimeter.
Thanks for the review :-)
I agree with Luis Enrique, very good review, thank you kind sir!

can you do a review showing capacitance accuracy compared to the Klein ?
Those two slots on the gray thing with the post isn't for a thermocouple but to test capacitors without using the test leads
You can also turn off auto off by holding down the range key while u turns it on
Thanks for the review bud

Display light goes out too quickly.
Just bought one, was choosing between a couple and went for this for basic hobby stuff, after your quick review helped
The accuracy of it is fantastic well over specs.
The plastic stand at the back is difficult to open/ close. Lubricate the plastic hinges of the stand with WD40. Much better now.
Este multímetro parece cer muito bom estou precisando de um parabéns belo mutimetro
Very nice video!
Thank you for the video. I have never had one of these devices in hand before 20 minutes ago. So I assume that I need to cut away some portion of the plastic cover on the male connector to be able to plug into the input jacks on the device? Nothing in the manual about that.
there are little covers on the very end that you just pull off
Great review
Anyone know where can I get the fusibles ?
i have wh5000a and backlight goes off too soon 10 seconds. its so annoying that its way too short. im trying to get it 20-30 second duration or on/off switch.
If you want the stand to come out, just press at the top of the stand, then just pull it out,
This was exactly the advice I was looking for lol
It works!
Great advice. Thanks.
It's excellent value for the price.
Well done review. One question on reading AC voltage. Can the range go down to mV? thanks
Yes. In both DC and AC, the Range button allows you to select mV with precision of 0.1mV or V with precision of 1V, 0.1V, 0.01V or 0.001V
Hello, what material is your carpet?
thanks
Can this do DC amps
THANK YOU
Nice Review !!!!
Magnetize my screwdriver. 🤣🤣🤣 I love it.
Which setting should I put if I want to check a battery parasitic
Set it on the 10A, but make sure you connect it to series and the leads are also switched to the 10A port, this is a must
What setting would I use to test my cars fuses so I don't have to pull each one out ?
Continuity
yes select the ohms, diode and continuity on the dial and then push the select button above until your display shows the symbol for continuity and then test. If you have continuity the meter will make a continuous beep as long as your probes are placed on whatever you are testing.
I've just received one same it today
I got this meter for my birthday. What setting do I use for testing battery’s
Watch my video on "Understanding Batteries"
HOW COME IT DOESN'T BEEP FOR CONTINUITY?
It does if you turn off auto by pushing select. Just got one in the mail and couldn't be happier with it. Only cost 20 bones
Is it still working in 2023? 🙂
He does not show where the probes are plugged in.
Which is better the 4000 or the 6000 one?
6000
I prefer the 6000 counts
Is it American made???

They need to throw in some alligator clips. Who needs the stupid temp sensor? really.
