I've used this specific model in an arcade setting and I absolutely love the display when I have to work in less well lit conditions. The meter has also worked without hitches over the year I've owned it. I found the cost-quality equation very good on this one. Also every time I post pinball repair stuff on social media, people always ask about what on earth is that thing.
@daapz Thank you for your comment and yes, i totally agree, for the cost the Aneng 683 is a great device with huge benefits if compared to the 681. Aneng have done a great job with the 683
Saw this on ebay and, well, I have several multi-meters but I just had to have this one. I have not received it yet but I am looking forward to the large LCD colour display, rechargeable battery and all its other features. I went for this model and not the 681 or 682 mainly due to the 683's touch screen capability, colour screen and rechargeable battery. I have never seen a multi-meter like this one with this large screen and colour display and so I just bought it. Your review makes me think I made a wise choice, especially paying a little more for the 683 and not the 681 or 682. I also chose the black model as I am not a fan of red. Thank you for the excellent review. thanks to your quality review I am even more confident that purchasing this lovely multi-meter was a wise decision on my part. Again thank you for your excellent review my friend, well done a quality very informative review. One last thing you say it weighs 2000 grams, 2kg seems a bit heavy that is the weight of a 2 litre kettle a quarter full, are you sure its not closer to 200 grams???
@davidsmith-ih2kk Thank you for your nice comment, I appreciate it. You have made the right choice going for the 683, for the price it's a great Multimeter, good luck with it
@JaucheSan thank you for your comment. Despite several people thinking the 681 has a Touch Screen, it actually does not. Only the 683 has the Touch Screen. The 683 functionality is also more improved if compared to the 681, the 683 is a great device for the price
@andan2293 As demonstrated in the video, I would highly recommended you insert your test probe into the correct location when using this, or any other Multimeter to avoid any damage being done to it
Very nice review! The best feature with this meter in my opinion is it is USB C rechargeable. This feature alone is worth the price. Having a dead battery when none are around is the worst feature of any meter and this meter solves that! Can this meter measure AC riding on DC in a running car? Measuring AC ripple is useful diagnosing alternator.
@jasoneyes01 Thanks I appreciate the comment. Yes USB-C charging is a great feature and the internal battery lasts forever aswell. Sorry I have not tried testing AC Ripple, at a guess i would say yes, that is a good question
Excellent tutorial and product review. I received my 683 yesterday and needed guidance on measuring current. Is DC current measured in the same manner as AC you demonstrated? Appreciate no annoying music or corny joking. Subscribed. ❤ California.
@marks.steven4695 Thank you for your nice comment. Yes, DC Current is measured the same way as AC Current. Put your Red test probe into the mA/A port of your Multimeter, break and place your test probes into the power wire and it will automatically detect the difference between DC and AC and display the result on the screen for you., hope that helps you
Looks like it's got a built-in flashlight, too. A multimeter is only as good as its accuracy specifications. You don't know if it's accurate till it's been properly calibrated.
@HansDelbruck53 yes as shown in the video, it has a built in flashlight aswell which is also called a torch in some parts of the world. Thanks for your comment
For the car battery example, the voltage goes low because it's trying to get a bunch of power from the battery for the starter, then high again when the alternator kicks in, now generating current into the battery. You already knew this though.
@SHORTwithTECH yeah your video is good, I'm just stating how batteries don't always show the "accurate" voltage because it will be slightly less when discharging and slightly more when charging. You can try this on any type of battery, the voltage instantly jumps when charging. I guess that's why OCV open circuit voltage is used for solar and stuff.

Isn't the touchscreen same on both 681 and 683 and the only difference is colored text?
@JaucheSan thank you for your comment. Despite several people thinking the 681 has a Touch Screen, it actually does not. Only the 683 has the Touch Screen. The 683 functionality is also more improved if compared to the 681, the 683 is a great device for the price
Bro, this is insainly good review! Thank you so much)
@arthas-gigachad7600 Thank you so much man, your comment is incredibly appreciated
18:20 Trying to measure current with the voltmeter section won't damage anything. Problematic is trying to measure voltage with the ampmeter...

Thank you.
When you put it in manual mode dc does it register voltages faster ? tia
@gregorybolin4672 Yes, manually switching to DCV Mode to measure DC Voltage is definitely faster to respond then AUTO mode, AUTO mode can be slow
Looks like it's got a built-in flashlight, too.

@tudongonluan2978 On my car I am measuring DC Voltage (Direct Current Voltage). Hope that answers your question
For the car battery example, the voltage goes low because it's trying to get a bunch of power from the battery for the starter, then high again when the alternator kicks in, now generating current into the battery. You already knew this though.
@eddiechung675 yes, this is normal and is not a problem with the Multimeter, this is how all cars charging systems work
@SHORTwithTECH yeah your video is good, I'm just stating how batteries don't always show the "accurate" voltage because it will be slightly less when discharging and slightly more when charging.
