Auto range is a must for a beginner. I had some insane off brand meter for years (I'm thinking it was actually faulty) so it was not just daunting but doomed to failure. I bought a Fluke 101 and its been a total game changer for me. The auto range is amazing! However, I'm now searching for a meter that can check amperage. I think this moght be the one, thank you!
Thanks so much for your review. The auto range sounds important for a beginner. I am in the process of learning how to repair old video game consoles. Especially the OG Xbox. The ones on eBay seemed a little too cheap, (starting at $10). Thanks again.
No PNP or NPN transistor tester? Wish it had that too. My old Sears Craftsman has it all and a 20A limit. Most only do to 10A Can't find anything like it today... except it has no lights like today's models admittedly.
Good video thanks, but I have 2 questions: 1. Why did you mention the make (VENLAB) but not mention the model in the video or in the description? 2. Why does your Amazon link point to a different model (VM200M) which doesn't appear to be auto-ranging, but the one you are reviewing is autoranging? Did Amazon change it for some reason? From looking closely at the image in the video, it looks like the model of your meter is VM-600A. Thanks.
AMZ doesnt sell or VenLabs does not sell the 600 on Amazon. Even the links on Amazon go back to the 200....disappointing after 1yr its no longer offered. Makes you think is it really the "best"
These are still on Amazon. But you have to search for a meter with a 20amp dc circuit. I tried to post the names of them but the comment keeps getting deleted.
Bs, I’m a professional technician that deals with control wiring and high voltage daily. I will stick with my Fluke 87v max. Been using fluke my whole career, going on 25 years. Don’t listen to this guy trying to get a cut from sales. Buy quality, buy once cry once.
Don't buy it, heck...don't buy any product from someone who adds an Amazon link to the description, because it's tied to an Amazon store, people only promote this to get commission.
So superficial that it's meaningless. There's no testing to show how accurate it is. There are loads of better value multimeters available. Those special features really aren't if you look at those available. Fuses are a normal to thing in them. Flashlight, magnets also far from unusual as is non-contact testing. No mention of all of the parameters that can be tested let alone ranges and resolution. No mention of safety other than many fuses which probably just means 2. Maybe even just 1? That is not a good investment for most people. Maybe you are selling them? Autoranging is much slower to pick the correct range and give a reading than setting the range manually. It gets better if you spend more money but not on cheap meters like that one.

Thank you for your review. Am considering purchasing. I’m an amateur and don’t have pallets of cash to invest in one, your review was a big help.
Glad it was helpful!

In the end the el cheapo Harbor freight voltmeter turned out to be better. It resets if you pop the amp load circuit. No fuses to replace.
That is good to know.
What about the probes? Does it come with extras like the auto electricians use with needles
yes it does
Awesome video man 😎
Thanks!
Would have liked you to show close up pics and in operation displays.
Good video thanks, but I have 2 questions:

Thanks.
it is the 600A. I will check the amazon link. thank you.
@@DeaninItYourselfsoooo????
@@91rickybaker give him a few more months.
He's still checking!
So many multimeters out there... I'm not a professional, so I'll just keep using my Gardner Bender GMT-312...it does the job for a regular homeowner.
fair enough
@@DeaninItYourself enjoyed your video regardless 👍🏽
link to meter is incorrect vm-200
AMZ doesnt sell or VenLabs does not sell the 600 on Amazon. Even the links on Amazon go back to the 200....disappointing after 1yr its no longer offered. Makes you think is it really the "best"
The multimeter in the link isn't the one in this video
Yiur ink only show the 200m. How to get the 400m?
I would purchase but can’t find it, so thanks I guess but links are right. Doesn’t seem to be available on Amazon
I'm having electrical issues with my wires on my boat. Is this meter good for testing 12 volt systems to test wire connections.
Yes it is
@@DeaninItYourself Thanks because I ordered it last week
Thank you for this information. I'm a beginner and will ve getting this vankab meter.
Glad it was helpful!
Is it good for 12 volt vehicle mechanics or do you recommend another device?
yes it will work well
Switching between AC and DC, does it do it automatically or do I have to select it manually?
the auto feature does it automatically
I can not pay $1 or 50 cents... how about 5 cents. Good video review... thanks !
Thank You
How do you replace the fuses in the multimeter V600?
Just open it up with the screws in the back and the fuses are right there
Is it auto func? It can detect what im measuring ?
yes it can
Where can I purchase the multimeter at? 8:18
Link is in the description under the video
Hi will this test a capacitor
it sure will
These are still on Amazon. But you have to search for a meter with a 20amp dc circuit. I tried to post the names of them but the comment keeps getting deleted.
Thank you. I was not able to find it searching with the product name but found it with your recommendation.
Amazing
Thanks
unfortunately, it can not be accessed in Myanmar😢
What about the TESMEN multimeters that are advertised on TikTok?? Are they good or trash??
this one is one I using now amzn.to/4d6q5Gg
I finally took the cover off and found the screws. Duh

Of course if you are a professional you would buy a fluke. Not everyone is a professional
Wish I could say the same for Fluke. You're paying for the name. Had 2 units crap out on me within a year.
Believe it or not, they're are people that need it maybe once/year. Spending cash for Fluke doesn't make sense
He said for the price range
Yeah by looking at his eyes looks like he’s reading the script
Your links are broken, sorry
Thank you I will update them
Sounds too good to be true found on amazon for $18.52. idk man. Made in china.,
Did you end up try it?
Don't buy it, heck...don't buy any product from someone who adds an Amazon link to the description, because it's tied to an Amazon store, people only promote this to get commission.
not true, at all. please don't spread misinformation. If you do not like the product or find a better product you do not have to purchase it.

Autoranging is much slower to pick the correct range and give a reading than setting the range manually. It gets better if you spend more money but not on cheap meters like that one.
Thanks for the feedback Alan. Its just an alternative for those just getting into DIY and want a meter with loads of features for a reasonable price.
You must've failed basic math because $30 is less than $50. Don't ever comment again, thanks.
Well next time make your own video. Dude he literally said for newbies. H8ter.
This multi-meter doesn't actually exist. I dare you to find it available for purchase.
amzn.to/3HJZlOD
about 20 dollars on aliexpress
Bizarre, it's not even the one in your link right here.
