content: Dave, since you already have multiples DMM that was used in the shoot out. Why don't you review one at a time in different blogs. I believe if someone was checking on a certain multimeter on youtube, your video would surely show up. Plus, take lots of photos of the inside of each multimeter and place them on your website.

content: I think this is a great idea, but I'm worried for Dave. He's been spending so much time on DMMs across the $50 and $100 shootouts that he's probably been having nightmares about multimeters chasing him!

content: Yes, with hindsight I should have done individual reviews and then a comparison, but I had already shot the material and it didn't work, so I went with what I had.People will still find the reviews in searches, I'm already #2 with a bullet for "BK precision" and #3 for "Uni-T"I'm sure people are sick of meter reviews though, no more for a while.Dave.

content: Agreed with the enough multimeter reviews, we now have a pretty good idea of some of the popular $50 and $100 meter (you can never cover them all), which is probably the most popular price range for beginners, who need the reviews the most. You also have reviewed at least one of each of the popular high-end brands of hand held multimeters (Agilent, Fluke, Gossen-Metrawatt). It might be a good idea to review one of the ~$200 Agilent meters we recently discussed on this forum, but I wouldn't mind seeing some other content for a while, either other equipment reviews or non-review content. Whatever you enjoy the most.

content: Well, after watching all this videos , I have to admit that our reviewer was correctfrom the start , that the 100$ range its like an warranty level for basic quality.The very specific details, its up to the buyer to investigate them.Some people think , that this is a boring work to do ... well in this case ,no one will help you.Not even the individual reviews.

It's hard to find a DMM with a $50 MSRP without giving something up compared to these $100 meters. But I'm sure you can get crap for $100+ if you try hard enough (possibly just a <$50 product with tons of markup). I believe these meters where chosen by Dave or his viewers because they might be good, so they don't represent a representative random sample. But none of the meters in this review was really bad (or really good), so any of those would be a reasonable choice for someone wanting to buy a new DMM on a $100 budget. I wouldn't extrapolate this to every $100 meter on the market.

content: Quote from: alm on July 14, 2010, 11:39:19 amYes, I specifically chose them all. The main driving criteria was availability from Tequipment.net who were supplying them. The Uni-T I bought with my own money because everyone asked for that brand.Dave.
