KAIWEETS Digital Multimeter Smart, Rechargeable Multi Meter Automotive with 10000 Counts T-RMS, Measures AC/DC Current Voltage Resistance Continuity Frequency Diodes-KM601S

(£42.49 Jul 2023) I have an OLD 90's Tandy/Radio Shack multimeter my dad bought that still works, but the readings were significantly different from the 4yrs+ and 1yr+ old cheap chinese ones. Time to get something that can be trusted. Who or what are Kaiweets? I didn't know who they were - I knew who Fluke are, but Kaiweets? No chance. Well, now I know. They were highly rated by multiple reviewers on that video website and for ~£40ish quid, they were worth a try. In the 90's you had heard of Fluke, but you couldn't justify buying one unless you were in the trade. Now you can. Bought this to pair with a nice new Fluke 17B+ (~£140) as the cheap chinese ones were going out now. The Kaiweets voltage readings were consistently the same as or differed by 0.01% from the Fluke - that is OUTSTANDING and I did not expect that. I was ready to throw the cheap chinese meters away - not the Tandy! It has a calibration potentiometer inside, and is carrying the torch onwards again. Opened up the cheap chinese one, which to be fair, looks good and has a great screen, and it too also had a calibration potentiometer inside - what dya know? Would not have been surprised if it had been factory calibrated and the potentiometer skipped to save 3p in manufacturing costs. All old meters calibrated to Fluke standards and all is well. Really impressed with this meter. It has some great functions that others do not have and it's accuracy is fantastic at this price range, only gripe is how many times you have to press the selector button but seriously, it's not a gripe, it's an observation, because, anything that can be in the conversation of a Fluke at fourty odd quid demands respect and admiration. If you need a multimeter, just get the Kaiweets. Seriously. If you want a Fluke more than you need it, get a Kaiweets. If you still want the Fluke, get both - now you can drop one and not be saddened as it hits the floor, or you might be with either of them to be honest.

Great for the money easy to use

Found video on YouTube which gives directions on how to operate the meter and it’s very helpful to explain all inputs and lead connections. Nice compact unit in a very practical case and easy to operate on ‘smart’ The chargeable batteries from experience will be a useful addition as nothing worse than picking up a meter to do a test only to find the battery out of order and the built in torch light will be useful too. Looking forward to a long relationship with it.

Great wee meter

Works well A very smart meter It could be confusing to a few people Multicoloured screen is nice and clear, is it overkill Probably

Was really pleased with this its a great meter. The colour just make it easier on the eye

This meter is excellent. I do have a few meters but I prefer to use the Kaiweets. The screen is large and bright and you can see the info on it at a very wide angle. i really like the auto mode when testing different componets, not needing to keep turning a knob to find the settings to test stuff. You can test a diode with the leads then just test a capacitor with the leads without touching the meter. It also has manual mode too. Its works really well and very pleased with it. It comes in a sturdy case so goes in my tool chest nice. The only thing not great on it is the leads, not of best quality but I have replaced them with much better ones and I think its more accurate now too with better leads. But still gets 5 stars.

Brilliant bit of kit and does volt and amps accurately for my car electric… not used on mains yet big the auto part on choosing the amps or volts chose perfectly dc or ac … clever

I am not an electrician but with its AUTO feature I use this unit like I am - without worry when testing electrical things. The KM601 is everything a novice could hope for and use. I am very happy with this product and I've bought several styles of multimeters over the years. This is by far the easiest/best one I've ever use. It has an easy-to-see, backlit digital readout (large characters), auto-off and so many modes I'll never use in my lifetime. Its manual is very easy to read and understand and I was able to test capacitor resistance (who woulda thunk?) with a press of a button that cycles through its modes with ease. Its compact yet spacious carrying case fits everything: KM601 in its protective cover, manual, spare batteries and ceramic fuses (not on Amazon but on Kaiweets website) plus alligator probe wires I made myself since the included straight pin set is not always easy to use. A complete multimeter kit for me would include a set of small to medium alligator clip probes but this is only my wishful thinking. Kaiweets support is also excellent even if by email. Timely and professional responses to problems (I blew 1 of 2 ceramic fuses and the unit was 'not behaving'. Kaiweets support replied within a day or 2 and resolved the issue. I also bought the newer rechargeable Kaiweets KM601s unit and am similarly happy with it. Probe ports are on the bottom side rather than on the bottom of its face (see advertised pics for comparison). I prefer the newer KM601s port location. I will definitely buy Kaiweets (any of its brand products when I need them) again without hesitation. Good job Kaiweets team!

İlk aldığımda probları yerine iyice oturtmamışım ve verim alamamıştım. Meğer hata bendeymiş. Cihaz çok iyi.

Awesome item to buy these days. Very accurate

Excelente producto llegó bien

Confrontato con altri 3 multimetri in possesso di marche blasonate s'é rivelato il più preciso in tutte le sezioni di misura. Per chi lamenta la visibilità del display non hanno capito che é stato progettato per essere visto a 45° appoggiato sul tavolo e la sua visibilità é perfetta. Ottimi materiali e fattura. Eccellente la doppia modalità di rilevazione del campo elettrico (fase) sia di prossimità con sensore lato superiore DIREZIONALE oppure di precisione tramite puntale (leggete il manuale prima di recensire). La modalità AUTO non é per tutte le misurazioni (leggeteli i manuali!). In modalità manuale la velocità di lettura é fulminea mentre in modalità auto impiega tempo giustamente e sulla componentistica a volte non intuisce quale rilevazione deve eseguire quindi selezionate manualmente e non sbagliate. Due anni fà acquistai il modello analogo ma a batterie (che ancora funziona perfettamente) mentre questo ha una batteria ricaricabile, é stata aggiunta la staffa sul retro ed i connettori puntali più comodamente sopra. Per chi reclama il rumore del relè LEGGETE I MANUALI che ve l'hanno messo grande ed in italiano: c'é una procedura di autocalibrazione presente anche sul video dell'inserzione. É arrivato con batteria all'80% quindi fresco di produzione: per chi lamenta che non carica DOVETE ASPETTARE ! La percentuale di carica non é lineare ma a sezioni quindi dall'80% il prossimo step sarà 100% Anche i puntali sono di ottima fattura. Provato a ricaricare con caricabatterie Samsung con protocollo PD (Power delivery) e viene accettato. Questo multimetro é eccellente e chi ha recensito negativamente non lo sà usare o meglio non dovrebbe proprio usare un multimetro. Allego video e foto dimostrative. Amazon sempre eccellente con consegna in meno di 24 ore
