    I remember when this came out and for the price I was like yea for $600 rather buy a Fluke 87V ..

    Which meter do you suggest then? Looking to buy once/cry once.

      For that Money- a Flir DM284 or DM285. It has a built in thermal imager which is extremely handy.. Seriously though- I personally use a Fluke 112.. Any of them of them 100 series fluke meters are pretty decent.. And all under $270ish.. There are differences between them though so be mindful that some lack capabilities such as mV or Hz.. The 117 is the top of the line for that series.. They’re reliable and well built meters for the $$..

    Yeah I have one too.. the battery life is very awful. But the Bluetooth makes it worthwhile but I also use another multimeter for when I don't need Bluetooth. I'm going to be looking into rechargeable lithium 9volt batteries and see if I can go that route. Because I remember when I got it the battery life seemed half way decent and the battery that came with my unit was a lithium 9v. It would be better if they just had a rechargeable battery built in and a charging port instead of a measly 9v to power that big screen

      So, just for reference, new 9v lasts how long? I read somewhere 10 hours continuous, but can you give some sort of estimate/average battery life?

      @@DeanoKelley I am not exactly sure. I just know when the battery that came with it died (9V lithium) a 9V alkaline regular just didn't seem to last very long. As a matter of fact, I just put a new alkaline in it and will get back to you on this. Also, it could be I am used to my Fluke with the LCD screen not using near the power this meter does, hence battery lasts a long time in a LCD screened meter.

    I have a student discount and this one comes out to $450 and the enhanced comes out to $250. Do you think i’m better off with the enhanced (mid level)?

      If you are going into automotive get the advanced you will thank yourself. It’s a great function to have the blue tooth. The app is easy to use and great for allot of trouble shooting

    Would this be good for $300

    Recently bought the enhanced version, oooof not looking forward to crap battery life.

      Just buy good 9 volt batteries for it. You get about maybe 1 hour of use out of it before the low bat sign shows up. battery always seems to last maybe a total of 4-5 hours all together. Even with the auto off feature.

    I own all of them.. The basic, the enhanced, and the advanced.. I’m also extremely disappointed.. Aside from the battery issue which by the way you’re not supposed to be using a standard 9V alkaline. It calls for a 9V lithium battery which will triple your battery life at three times the cost.. lol.. That aside- like your saying about accuracy- none of them can consistently measure frequency.. It’s the chipset they use.. It’s some cheap knockoff of a Texas Instruments chip that fluke uses… EBay TPI meter and you’ll see where this meter comes from.. It’s not worth the money..
