The reason for such a low volume is because the piezo speaker is sandwich between the board and the battery compartment. It has great spacing on the selector switch to prevent arcing across the traces. As of 9/28/2020, you can get the meter for less than $15.00 usd--a good deal for a basic meter. Great review.
I have a couple of these. The lightening fast continuity and voltage beats Fluke and Amprobe and all for $15. This will do 99.9% of your fault finding needs. It was this review that did it!
Only down side the display can be difficult to see in sunlight.
👍 Great stuff! These are indeed great little multimeters that pack a big punch! Keep On Testing!
Don't know what to say, you know I'm a sucker for Uni-t . Will definitely be an addition.
I would never have guessed!! Hehe
Darren, if you're not careful this site could become the QVC of inexpensive test equipment (I've already bought 3 of them). You definitely need a leaderboard to show the meter rankings.
Hi Paul, Many thanks!
I agree wholeheartedly about the leaderboard.., I hope to have such a mechanism in place to supplement the reviews by the fall. Appreciate the feedback 😃👍
One thing about the display that I found intriguing: tilt the bottom of the display toward you, at eye level. Now slowly tilt the top of the display toward you. At half way the screen display disappears then suddenly re-appears as you keep tilting. To me, that's just weird.
A great meter for the price.. on sale yesterday £10.71 with shipping. Great in depth review.. I have othe UNI-T products and they are a really good buy if you are not into FLUKE pricing/mindset.
Totally! Solid multimeter and great price you paid too 👌
Wow! thanks for a thorough review. You really set a benchmark for how reviews should be. Absolutely appreciate your fine work :D
Thanks so much! Keep On Testing!
2 раза пересмотрел , отличный обзор , спасибо за труды. Хороший прибор , плохо что после 400 герц не работает...не хватает ему trmc .
Согласен,это очень хороший прибор не смотря на несколько недоработок! UNI-T производят хороший товар
The multimeter is really good, especially for having it in your car for basic checkups. I got mine with a pouch and a magnetic strap on aliexpress. The strap is great if you're checking something under your car hood, the mahnet is pretty stromg, no worries of falling. Great review, it is because of your review that i bought it
Excellent my friend 👍 The UT123 is a fantastic multimeter The magnetic strap sounds perfect! Enjoy 😉
@@KeepOnTesting Will do, my friend 😁
Epic ending😄
Lovely DMM!
I really like this one ☝️ I think this nice n basic, I like battery it uses n peep n light...My old multi meter is 30 years old n analogue...my eyes 👀 are old too...love ur reviews...you are so good n funny 😂 Thank you...COVID19 lockdown 🤓🐨🇦🇺❤️
I hear ya...nothing like a nice big crisp display on a multimeter to make things more enjoyable. It's a great little dmm, if you dont need the current functionality it's the perfect device! Keep on Testing!
😃👍 Stay Safe !
Thank you you are SUPER 🏆🏅🎖🥇. Love the newer format 🤓
This Harkens back to the days of simple volt/ohm meters, thats how digital multimeters started out way back in the day. I like the way the green indicator keeps up with the sounder. Thats a nice looking little meter, especially with the EBTN display and one of the better NCV ranges. -
Its the simplicity that makes it shine...no flashlight required!! Lots to like in this simple but effective dmm.
BTW, thanks again Mike for that great stand idea, I just love it!
You bet, thanks for showing it -- like I said in the beginning thats all there were was digital volt/ohm meters, weve come a long way even to pocket oscilliscopes.
🙌I Have Purchased This After Watching Your Video It's So Cool Device And Good Quality 👌.🙌
Great to hear!! Its an awesome 👌 multimeter..love the design...
Thx for the review and love the humor too👌🏽
😀👍
They say with inverted displays you can look at them from almost any direction and the readings are quite discernible, maybe that compensates the lack of a stand. Still I'm more inclined to buy the AN113D (which has an ebtn display too) than this one.
ZOYI ZT102A and Aneng AN113D are the same multimeter. Either of these will serve you well..This UNI-T serves a different niche than these two multimeters but I still think it's a great dmm, although a stand would've been nice 😀 Let us know which one you decide to get. KOT!
Hi Darren, where can I get the GOXT multimeter stand shown in your video?

Thanks Darren, good work!
Thanks Brian!
How does it compare against the UNI-T UT120C? it loses on features but might win the rugged case benchmark if there is one :-P
I'm glad you asked! I'll be reviewing the UT120C next month..I'll be using the UT123 as a benchmark!😄👍
Hi! What are the other 2 multimeters in the video 1:44 ? Thanks for the answer!
Richmeters 409B & 403B 👍
Would you recommend this over the 125c for home use? Non-professional and first mm purchase. Going to use this mostly for batterries, continuity, Voltage.
Yes, perfect multimeter for your needs ! 👍
@@KeepOnTesting Thank you for replying, love the depth of your reviews!
Can it test Diode?
Unfortunately not.
What do you think, if the resistance under voltage starts to burn, it immediately burns out or not?
Уважаемый Сергей, не могли бы Вы повторить свой вопрос по-русски?
@@KeepOnTesting , с удовольствием!мне интересно вот , если выполнить замер сопротивления или выполнять поиск контакта , и какой то элемент окажется под напряжением , этот прибор выдержит? или сгорит сразу, насколько я понял , защит там нет.
Uni-t should launch a UT123+ that include TRMS and backlight (a great bonus would be a magnetic holder). For me it would be great, and for a residential electrician would be perfect.
That's a great idea...UNI-T I know you're listening..take note!!
@@KeepOnTesting do you know if it's possible to detect the live wire in AC with the probes?
Hi, would you mind to show, how the display performs in "darkness" and in direct sunlight with and without Backlight?
I will do a video shortly showing just that....
Its very good if not one of the best ive seen. Both indoors and out.
The UNI-T UT123 can be powered with AAA Ni-Mh rechargeable power cells ?
Yes
Can anyone tell me what value of the five resistors are that are right next to the connection from the screen to the board and the order they go in from top to bottom.? The connection from the screen to the board failed and these five resistors got desoldered while trying to repair.
Those 5 smd Ω resistors (R13-17)205, are all 2.0 Megaohm in value. 👍
@@KeepOnTesting thanks very much👍
@@KeepOnTesting are these resistors 201 or 402
@@jm2525cm I believe 201, I can confirm tomorrow
Is this an original product by UNI-T?
Yes, UNI-T is the OEM.
@@KeepOnTesting thank you! Great reviews btw. Been binge watching for more than 2 hours. 😂
@@dppalmero That's great to hear Diane..😃👍 Keep On Testing !
@@KeepOnTesting I have a question, what is the best auto ranging UNI-T multimeter?
@@dppalmero Without a doubt..the UNI-T UT191T holds that title...what an incredible value. Solidly built, great input protection, fast ranging..and really accurate 👍
Hi, I want to buy a decent multimeter with temperature tester;
I have really cheap ones, but I want to buy a good, and reliable one.
Which one do you like the most and has a good price for the value. Could be any meter with prices between 10-350 USD.
Hi Mei,
Thats an important question..give me a day or two to pick a couple of meters for you...
@@KeepOnTesting Yes sure, I bought a Fluke 179 as I needed a meter today.
However I am still interested in your suggestion(s), and it also might help others with their decision.
@@MelEk-nv8vz Hi Mel, well the 179 wasn't on my list but I hope it serves you well. Mel, may I ask, what motivated you to choose the 179..? It's a Fluke but was there any intrinsic qualities that pushed you in the 179 direction.??
@@KeepOnTesting I found a good deal.
And as Fluke makes reliable meters, I thought it would be worth the extra money.
@@MelEk-nv8vz Its a great meter and should serve you well! I would have suggested the Sanwa PC7000 or the UNI-T UT181A on the high end.
thx! very good review!!!
You are Welcome! Thx for watching.
I want UT123 meter diagram please
UNI-T doesn't release their schematics.
Can it check ampare?
Negative. No current support on this multimeter.
Sirve para medir milivolt?
Sí, probé a 250mV sin problemas
🙌Why These Multimeter Doesn't Have A Fuse!!!!!🙌
Not needed, no ampere measurement possible.
@@aaba112 But It's Important if you are measurering high voltage
@@hamzamalik221 I haven't yet seen a multi meter having a fused input for voltage. But right, if you mistakenly connect over 1000 volt maybe something could be damaged. As you see in the tear down, it has a PTC resistor (green) in the input that will limit over current going in to the electronics.
@@aaba112 Some multimeter have fuse attached inside on PCB board
Does it support technology live
No, only NCV , Livewire is not an option...
@@KeepOnTesting What kind of advice and thanks?
Not like because no diod option 🤔
i think we cant do diode robustness test ?? . very bad ..
Yes, really missing that function on this multimeter !!
@@KeepOnTesting thanks to darren for good answer . just for this reason . i give up to buy
diode ?
As I mentioned in the review, diode mode is not supported.😃
@@KeepOnTesting omg why they make a multimeter without diode mode
@@netten2057 probably to keep it simplified but yes I agree it's definitely needed!
Se è possibile tradurre in italiano
I don't speak Italian my friend..forgive me 🙂
No probs having 10 meters that are all the same
Roger that Derek, then again we are hopelessly addicted...😅👍
Hmm my case is lot more harder and we'll packed
Really bad display if used outside in daylight
Thanks for the feedback 👍

It does not measure diodes.
Diyot no
No amper ? Amper have? Ah ? Mah ?
No, it does not measure current. No Amps or mA.
@@KeepOnTesting I was thinking about buying now I gave up :(
@@KeepOnTesting I like it very much but it doesn't measure amps
@@MehmetAYNIG yes it's a tradeoff sometimes..too bad about no current.
UT33A+ or UT33B is another great choice, both do current..one is manual one is autoranging . ruclips.net/video/7t5MNqCZHys/видео.html
