I have proper Fluke meters I use as a professional electrician and electronics repair tech, but I like having cheaper meters like this for the vehicle, the basement bench, etc. This 18B+ model is fantastic. First it's much larger than I expected. Most of these chinese meters are smaller than they appear in picture, this is a full size unit that has a nice heft to it and feels like it's decent quality. Next it is packed with useful features that are intuitive to use and work well. The leads and clips it came with are of reasonable quality. This is the first cheap meter that I wouldn't hesitate to use for mains voltages, but it's excellent for what i use it for which is testing and servicing musical equipment such as guitars and amplifiers.
To sum up, in my opinion this is the best meter under $30 on Amazon, but It's probably better than many of the DMMs at twice the price.

Great dmm easy to use.
I've got a couple of these now and they're really great meters for the money. They hang right in there next to my fluke. There's an easy way around the annoying beep, just pull the back off and push the little tissue into the speaker body, and then put a little tape on it and boom a very nice low beep loud enough you hear it, but not obnoxious. I actually like the auto shut off feature because I can leave it's selected to one function like right now I use it for resistance only. All I have to do is push the select button and it's already on resistance and ready to go. It'll shut itself down with a very quiet beep. I've just gotten a second one cause I'm gonna use that for voltage.It probably doesn't sound like much, but just having to push a button is very handy when I've got my hands in gear and I just want to take a quick measurement.The large display is super nice too.

The Good:
. DC Voltage tests (2.5v to 10v) - dead on, very accurate
. AC Voltage tests (at household 120V levels) - accurate, within spec
. DC current tests - accurate, well within 1%
. Continuity tests - quite fast, better than average for a low cost meter
. Resistance tests - accurate, well within 1%
. Capacitance tests - within spec; the usual 3% - 5% accuracy
. NCV - Non Contact Voltage sensor, nice to have, works well.
. 20000 count, nice to have. Side effect is that some readings can take a bit longer to settle.
. Build Quality - seems better than average for a low-cost Chinese meter. While it does not have the the same heft and quality feel as a Fluke or Brymen, it *does* have an actual removable boot/holster (see photo), a crisp precise selection dial, and decent quality test leads. But like most other inexpensive meters, it does feel somewhat light and plastic-y.
. Display is large and readable, sharp and crisp. The secondary readout is nice, but only active during AC voltage tests.
The Less Good:
. Diode tests - within spec; will light all LEDs but will only read voltage drop for red/yellow LEDs, not green/blue/white LEDs (i.e. anything > 2v drop?). Quite a few meters fail to handle LED testing as they should, so not an uncommon deficiency. Measurement of regular diodes seems to work fine, and produces accurate readings.
. Bar Graph - as near as I could tell, the bar graph as implemented on this meter merely reflects the current digital numeric readout. It does not provide the kind of separate quick-reaction display that one sees on more costly meters. Too bad, since this negates most of the usefulness of the bar graph and it becomes merely decorative.
. Peak - peak min/max readings seem to be available *only* for AC voltage readings, not the broader min/max capabilities found on pricier meters.
. Backlight - works well, but a the backlight LED produces a pronounced uneven lighting on the left side (see photo). Doesn’t bother me much, but some could find this annoying.
. Like many Chinese meters, this one beeps every time you turn the selection switch to a new setting: Annoying.
. No warnings when the test lead is accidentally left in the10A socket during non-current testing.
I took the meter apart and noted that the input protection features are limited, but perhaps a little better-than-average for this price class. The sockets are the usual stamped pot-metal-looking affairs, but the board includes what appear to be decent-sized HRC fuses. The 10M-ohm current limiting resistance is provided by a set of four MELF-type 2.5M resistors. No MOVs to be seen, but but there is a lone PTC. No circuit board cutouts, or other physical shielding, but overall looks perhaps a bit better than the usual cheap-meter average. It claims cat IV 600v rating but I’d hesitate to trust that, and plan to use it only with voltages less inclined to rock my world. See photo...
So, not perfect, and not high-end meter quality and features, but still a better-than-average set of capabilities for the price. Should be excellent for general around-the-house tasks, hobbyist use, or as a spare/truck meter.
Excellent value for price, good overall accuracy

I like multimeters and wondered how good a 20000 count $38 meter could be. Well... pretty good!... considering the low price. In a completely unfair test, I compared it to Fluke 289 and Fluke 87V multimeters (which I know to be very accurate). My observations:Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2020
