At one time, not so long ago, a decent bench would have only equipment made by HP, Tek. Fluke etc.
Now, a lot of the Asian equipment is getting much better annually and worthy of multiple places on many decent benches, including my own. Though, I am still keeping my HP and Tek equipment to keep my lab building from flying away during a wind storm...LOL
Based on your excellent review, I am giving Zotek an A+ and suggest they send all of your viewers who commented, a FREE unit as well. ( word of mouth advertising is an excellent way to get the word out )
Remember, Zortek, It's Christmas time and you need to be our Santa..Ho ho ho....LOL
Thanks for your great feedback! Merry Christmas;) I will send out some gifts - but probably the week after Christmas;)
@@KissAnalog Merry Christmas to you !!
Some nice features and good accuracy. Dual display and Bluetooth app very handy. Batteries make it mobile. The price is right and affordable to most diyers. 20 amps is above the norm. What's not to like ?
Thanks - I agree! Great value;)
Not to like only 1KHz AC bandwidth. But it is very convenient as a bench DMM for simple tasks.
Interesting meter, love the voice too bad it does not tell you the rate of discharge in percentage when meter has been used awhile but hey, love the video 👍
Thanks for your great feedback! It does have the battery symbol like your phone might have in the smaller display;)
I like it.
Thanks!
I think the voice annotation is a great feature! I wish my expensive paperweight spoke!
I do think it can be very useful. Thank you!
Hi,I have one like this for 2 years. It’s OK, but the Bluetooth hp is useless. This device is on 24/24 with a little power usb charger. VeryGood DMM for low price. Bye-bye
Eddie, that's not an engineer's meter. LOL!
LOL - well it depends on your budget;)
Fun review. 20,000 counts definitely an upgrade for a lot of DMM owners (assuming it's accuracy is somewhat respectable).
Thanks for this feedback!
Nah, that is just too weird for my taste, also Owon XDM1041 exists.
LOL thanks so much - here is another great option: th-cam.com/video/ZhE-aKIIRD8/w-d-xo.html
@@KissAnalog That's just another generic and absolutely unremarkable no-name meter.
Do ik speak dutch as well , the microphone connected you with china 😂 ?
I've got the Aneng labelled non speaking version of this meter with the batteries and have to say it's pretty good, especially for the price...
Thank you for your great feedback!
WHY WOULD WANT AN ALARM CLOCK AND,MUSIC WITH A PIECE OF
LAB EQUIPEMENT?THAT MODEM WOULD DRIVE YOU CRAZY AFTER A WHILE.THE WHOLE SOUNDS CRAZY.
LOL thanks David! Some people like music in the lab;) I do like the clock though and the display is so large it is easy to look over and see the time;) An alarm clock might keep me from working over and then having to rush to make it to an appointment;)
So excited to see the review! Excellent job! Love it 😊
Thanks so much!
Nice review on this mini bench-top. Shows up for under a $100 even up here in Canada. A bit over once the duty goes on but still pretty good for what you get shown thru your review. Its always nice to have another meter on your bench, and what's this, ....for free ? SWEET ! If you don't get the opportunity to get another vid out before the Jolly Guy shows up, nope its not you Eddie !, I trust you and those close to you enjoy a wonder Christmas and a Happy New YEAR ! Thanks again Eddie for some great content.
I would like to see this model, with a "lab instrument" color and label scheme (Like a SIGLENT or Tektronix scope) .. Throw in silicone leads and grabbers, for that same, $100(USD) street price and, "I'm in!".
Thanks for your feedback! Keysight and Rigol are making this color 'lab instrument' more common;)
@@KissAnalog OWON, as well, and others, perhaps. ~$129USD ... ALSO, DSOs all have DMMS (AWGs, etc.) as standard features and entry level DSOs are rapidly coming into the same price-range as lower-end bench DMMs.
Is this the new Bed time alarm clock, that measures batteries to 6000+ counts as well! Say no more!
LOL it does look like that:)
wow I love these tool videos. 🥰 gee so much of the electronic project setup stuff needs a 4 1/2 digit meter instead of just a 4 digit. Grrr. When available I get everything with Bluetooth. I can hook-up the voltage meter on a motor walk around a large machine and watch the phone readings while pushing conveyor buttons. 😎 Thanks a lot, very cool.
Thanks so much! That's a really great real life example;)
I love my uei multimeter/ or should I say my clamp meter DL- 579 a great meter to me.
Thanks - that looks like a fantastic meter! I need to get one to review;)
Another fine video and a pretty cool 20000 count meter with tunes. Why not. I like the idea of being portable also.
I agree - why not? :) I appreciate you!
for a bench multimeter it looks pretty cool and has the same functions as the DMM but for looks i give it a thumbs up for the large counter on it, it gets the other hand thumbs up. Now all that is needed is for me to go and get one for my bench.
Thanks for the great review.
I think that the problem with desk meters, has been the excessive prices they are charging. This one, seems to be the exception to the rule, as it appears to be a good practical meter for the bench. BTW Eddie... Merry Christmas and Happy New to you and yours, from Houston, Texas!
I'd have to agree with you! Thank you - and great to hear from friends in Texas;) I lived in San Antonio for awhile. Merry Christmas!
HI Eddie, your review is awesome. Thank you for doing this video . 👏
Thanks for your awesome support!!
Nice product
Thanks
Hi, I'd love to put that meter thru its paces in my lab on the Fluke calibrator. ...may just order one...
That would be great! Let us know if you do;)
Your videos are some of the very best. 👍🏼🏁🏅
That makes me really happy! Thanks so much!!
Does it only repeat that DC volt over and over when first powered on and will it run off wall power if the batteries are removed?
My first meter was a zoytek and I donated it along with 2 more. I keep wanting to rebuy the original for nostalgia. It was the only time I blew a fuse so I replaced it with a siba. Great meters for the price.
Thanks Joey!!
@Kiss Analog I actually have another ordered to donate as well haha. The last one was a 19999 counts actually. I forget the model.
Cool meter, but the app will not work unless you grant it all kinds of privacy permissions!?? No wonder the Play Store rates the app a 2. Another small annoyances is when you set the temperature to Fahrenheit and turn the meter off/on it reverts to Centigrade. Most important is this device and app Spyware?
Thanks for your feedback. I think I used it in a visitor mode. I don't like signing up for all these apps either;)
Hello! Great video!, can connect the multimeter to pc? Have software to pc?
I can't take anything seriously when it says '& Bluetooth Speaker' what next ? Pot Tweaker & Bluetooth Speaker ?....cheers.
That button to readout is pretty nice actually, don’t have to take your eyes off probing tight spots. +Spotify entertainment. Pretty great! All it’s missing is an inductance measure feature
LOL It is one of those tools that some will love and others will lift an eye brow;)
@@Jsmith32t: There have been times i wished for a hold button on the probe; maybe that voice can be substituted for hold in a firmware update. Or, get the wife on the phone, while you're working late, and push the button a couple of times 😆.
Thank you for this interesting review of this bench multimeter.
You bet! Thanks for your feedback!
Xinese crap in a box with speakers. Please, don't keep this on your bench.
I have the slightly older Aneng version of this and I love it, its a great bench meter for a home gamer tinkerer like myself, but it has bluetooth speakers Ill never use but had to pay for and this ones voice feature seems pointless to me as it wont always match the readout as my guess. Id just as soon have the meter itself and save buying pointless speakers and voice crap. Far as the meter goes though I love mine it works like a charm with a nice large legible 20.000 count display
Thanks for this feedback! If you want this meter without the extras - check out this: amzn.to/3idgF5e
Is it spec'd any better than a handheld DMM ? TRMS ? Are those extra counts just noise ? Seems quick enough.
Thanks for asking! It is better than many 6000 count multimeters, and yes it is TRMS. I think all high count meters are TRMS, and those digits do add value as you can see in the video. And you are right - it does seem just as quick as the 6000 count meter.
I have the older version. Don't use it too much right now. My bench at home is fairly small and it takes up more space than I want. Once I can put up a shelf, so I can look it at eye level I will use it more. Right now I just use it to play music.
Thanks for that feedback! I’m interested in using it and seeing how well it works. I do like the large display and the fact that it provides a big clock when I’m not using it;)
Agree that the voice readout could be handy in a lot of cases.
At first I thought it was a gimmick, but then I realized that it could be very useful when you don't want to look up at the meter.
Привет Эдди!
Ну ты рассмешил!
Жаль, что этот прибор кофе не варит.
Предпочитаю слушать музыку через медиацентр или радиоприемник, а измерения проводить проверенными приборами. С наступающим новым годом!
Thanks for your feedback!! Maybe they will add a coffee maker in the next revision;)
@@KissAnalog Дорогой Эдди, если будет время и желание, расскажи нам не торопясь о своих приборах на рабочем столе.
В чем особенность каждого?
Почему их так много?
Какие твои любимые или уникальные?
Спасибо!
I'm not even 1/2 way through the video and I'm already clicking links. This will be amazing for my work boat's shop.
LOL Let us know how you like it;)
@@KissAnalog will do. Love your channel man. Keep up the good work!
@@KissAnalog A little update, it's not bad for the money. I wish it had silicon leads though. So far I haven't been able to make it play my music, so that's a bummer. Might just be my older phone though.
Also when it reads the voltage it says (10, 3) for 13 volts so that's pretty annoying.
Needs a beeper on diode mode
Thanks for your feedback. Yes some people like that but then some don't. I think that's why some high end meters give you the option to turn it on.
NO MICROAMPS is a Deal Breaker. 73 DE W8LV BILL
With all the digits - it does read microamps. I tried to show that but I might not have done a good job pointing that out;)
I think it's great but I don't like the fact that it has an audio player, speakers and a clock. That relegates it to little more than a cheap gimmicky toy IMO. I like the speech synthesiser though. I have an original Micronta speaking multimeter, and it has proved useful on several occasions. Bluetooth phone connectivity with the logging app is also a plus.
Thanks for your great feedback! I didn't know Micronta had a speaking multimeter. I know a guy that loves to listen to books while he works so he would love this;)
@@KissAnalog It's the MICRONTA VOICE METER (MODEL 22-164) if you, or anyone else, are interested in getting one.
I've been looking for a panel mount multimeter I can build into my test bench alongside my Riden power supply and Juntech signal generator. At first I thought this was going to be 'close but no cigar' (too deep, buttons on the back), but when you opened it, it looks like I could modify it! Move that internal speaker box under the bench and rewire the rear buttons to the front. But can it be operated safely on USB power, or is that just for battery charging? Could I ask a favour: please could you try removing the batteries and applying USB power to see if it would work on mains only, and maybe also measure continuity between the USB connector and the black probe connector to see if it is isolated?
The button on the test lead is a really cool innovation and nicely implemented with the coaxial plug, but I think I'd prefer it operated a 'hold' function rather than the voice, cute though the subtle Chinese inflection is!
Great questions John! I'll check it out and get back to you. You have me interested now;)
It's seems to have some isolation inside. The 'bridge-rectifiers' are opto-coupler. This make sense with the isolation 5V DC/DC-converter. Sure the DMM will have isolation, if it has any link to a PC (well, only BT).
@@KissAnalog I actually got around to doing this project! Here in the UK, I could only get the same device branded "ANENG AN-999S" and it speaks Chinese despite having English text exclusively on the front panel! It works fine on USB power, even with the batteries removed, and the USB power ground is isolated from the probe ground which is excellent! As expected from your tear-down, it was easy to convert to panel mount, but the skirt of the rubberised front panel was too deep for my liking so I used a Dremmel to cut it down so there is only about 20mm in front of the mounting panel and 50mm behind the panel, approximately the same as the Riden RD6006 PSU and Juntek JDS2800 signal generator. It was easy to move the rear buttons to the front panel simply by soldering new push buttons across the existing ones on the PCB. The internal speaker enclosure is relocated under the bench. Now I have all the essential test equipment on the bench top without crowding the work off the front due to lack of depth! Next step, see if I can rewire the button on the probe to duplicate the front panel "hold" button, otherwise I'll just have to learn Chinese!

Wished you would have given the output voltage of the diode function
Sorry - I do usually do that. I had to watch back the video because I was surprised that I didn't...
Pointless video. He has a lab full of reference standards and high precision meters, yet he doesn't actually check how accurate the measurements from the Zotek are.
Pretty sad that his most profound discovery (repeated numerous times) is _"look at all those digits"_ ... yet it's just a 20,000 count meter with 4.5 digits, which is nothing special. 🙄
Thanks for your feedback! Have you ever seen a video where the meter was out of cal? If so, It must have been a one of a kind. Most meters costing much more are 6k count, so a 20k count is not the norm. What were you expecting - one of those pointless videos where someone takes a bunch of measurements - and then says - close enough - without every shareing what the tolerance should be for that measurement? I'm not here for that - so maybe you should watch those videos. 20k count - nothing special??
@@KissAnalog - a 25000 count handheld meter like the Aneng SZ20 or Zoyi ZT-225 is about USD $40. That's well under half the price of this meter.
I am not saying the reviewed meter is a bad thing, but 4.5 digits is nothing special at the $100 price point these days.
Thanks for your reply. Yes Aneng, Kaiweets, and Zoyi have high count meters for great prices - and that is my point. Most meters - until you go over $200 or even $300 are 6k count meter. The Zoyi meter you point out makes these 'bench top' meter that I am review. So first you like Zoyi and their pricing, but not the Zoyi meter in this review? It is a bench top and you compare it to hand held meters. This bench top meter has a voice activated measurement system and a clock and will play music via bluetooth. But you were so triggered by the high count that you thought I repeated too many times that you ignored all this. So what again was your point??
@@KissAnalog - my points were clearly stated.
1. You didn't check the meter you were reviewing against any other meter or references. You didn't really demonstrate it much at all.
2. You repeatedly expressed excitement about 20,000 counts, yet that is nothing special at this quality/price point.
I made no adverse comment about this meter, and specifically clarified that in my 2nd comment.
.
It was only about your "review". I based my judgement about this on the numerous other channels that I subscribe to that review the same types of products.
Oh, and I know who makes the meters, which is why I mentioned the Aneng and Zoyi as a comparison.
Again your point #1 is a wast of time - and in your words - pointless. Your point #2 is again incorrect. Also, this is a bench top meter with rechargeable battery back up - where else can you find that at this price? Also, it has a radio and can read back measurements via a voice so that you don’t have to look away from your probes. Again, where can you find all this at this price? You are so triggered by my excitement… Sorry - it is great you have other review channels that you can watch many measurements against, what you are told, are references - which they are not in fact. At least not real calibrated references. But - if that’s what you like…
I want one of these
Thanks! I was actually going to give it away - but it has been so handy on the bench. A quick look up for the clock - to play music - and actually as a multimeter;)
@@KissAnalog multiple uses is awesome my workshops small as it’s in the spare bedroom
i got one of those, why didn't you show it's wings and jet engine? It can fly! there is a secret button that you probably didn't find that turns it into a hot chick for those of us who are single, but i only discovered the other secret button that turns it into a spaceship that only flies at warp 20 and straight to the intergalactic space. The thing never came back!!! So, I do not recommend it, not even to my enemy, lol
LOL I got to check out these secret buttons;)
I remembered now, it was not a button, rather a knob of all magical options, like a rotary encoder kind of thing. I bought it back in the day, not to measure electrical stuff, but to keep me fed and warm and healthy and to live forever (it had all those options and more). Merry christmas boss
their website has NO downloads at all, this means NO manuals, NO firmware updates. NO support links . like many of the cheap products it looks like you are own your own also there is no information about any guarantee or warrantee . The website gives NO accuracy figures and NO specifications - just a features list. This is the entire website entry for the meter:

that's is nothing more about the meter except 2 photos...

in other words they do NOT honour do NOT track, will sell your data... nice
its entirely template so much for attention to detail... which is what you want in a test equipment manufacturer...
I suggest before you are attracted to the screen or form factor you look at the website and specs (or lack of in this case)....
Hey I love your videos. And thinking about getting a bench top meter myself I was a Hantek and also thinking about the hantek lcr meter.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you!
That is pretty cool.
Have you seen the OWON XDM1041?
It's a 55,000 count for 130 bucks.
Thank you! Yes we do have one of those at work, and maybe we got a bad one, but it kind of wigs out at times. It will just stop working, but now it seems to have been mostly working.
55K accurate counts? or just 55K?
@@JohnUsp IDK if it is accurate?
I just noticed them while looking at the Zotek meters.
@@KissAnalog I AM SURE YOU YOU GOT A BAD UNIT.I HAVE SEVERAL OWON LAB PRODUCTS AND,HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WIYH THEM.
Looks like an awesome set of features! I would be interested in one to live permanently on my hamshack desk. I wish it had a battery checker built in to test AA, AAA and 9volt batteries. Guess I could make a load box with test points but having that built in would be nice. de K4TEN
