Nice review on this mini bench-top. Shows up for under a $100 even up here in Canada. A bit over once the duty goes on but still pretty good for what you get shown thru your review. Its always nice to have another meter on your bench, and what's this, ....for free ? SWEET ! If you don't get the opportunity to get another vid out before the Jolly Guy shows up, nope its not you Eddie !, I trust you and those close to you enjoy a wonder Christmas and a Happy New YEAR ! Thanks again Eddie for some great content.

for a bench multimeter it looks pretty cool and has the same functions as the DMM but for looks i give it a thumbs up for the large counter on it, it gets the other hand thumbs up. Now all that is needed is for me to go and get one for my bench. Thanks for the great review.

I think the voice annotation is a great feature! I wish my expensive paperweight spoke!

I have the slightly older Aneng version of this and I love it, its a great bench meter for a home gamer tinkerer like myself, but it has bluetooth speakers Ill never use but had to pay for and this ones voice feature seems pointless to me as it wont always match the readout as my guess. Id just as soon have the meter itself and save buying pointless speakers and voice crap. Far as the meter goes though I love mine it works like a charm with a nice large legible 20.000 count display

I've been looking for a panel mount multimeter I can build into my test bench alongside my Riden power supply and Juntech signal generator. At first I thought this was going to be 'close but no cigar' (too deep, buttons on the back), but when you opened it, it looks like I could modify it! Move that internal speaker box under the bench and rewire the rear buttons to the front. But can it be operated safely on USB power, or is that just for battery charging? Could I ask a favour: please could you try removing the batteries and applying USB power to see if it would work on mains only, and maybe also measure continuity between the USB connector and the black probe connector to see if it is isolated? The button on the test lead is a really cool innovation and nicely implemented with the coaxial plug, but I think I'd prefer it operated a 'hold' function rather than the voice, cute though the subtle Chinese inflection is!

@@KissAnalog I actually got around to doing this project! Here in the UK, I could only get the same device branded "ANENG AN-999S" and it speaks Chinese despite having English text exclusively on the front panel! It works fine on USB power, even with the batteries removed, and the USB power ground is isolated from the probe ground which is excellent! As expected from your tear-down, it was easy to convert to panel mount, but the skirt of the rubberised front panel was too deep for my liking so I used a Dremmel to cut it down so there is only about 20mm in front of the mounting panel and 50mm behind the panel, approximately the same as the Riden RD6006 PSU and Juntek JDS2800 signal generator. It was easy to move the rear buttons to the front panel simply by soldering new push buttons across the existing ones on the PCB. The internal speaker enclosure is relocated under the bench. Now I have all the essential test equipment on the bench top without crowding the work off the front due to lack of depth! Next step, see if I can rewire the button on the probe to duplicate the front panel "hold" button, otherwise I'll just have to learn Chinese!

Again your point #1 is a wast of time - and in your words - pointless. Your point #2 is again incorrect. Also, this is a bench top meter with rechargeable battery back up - where else can you find that at this price? Also, it has a radio and can read back measurements via a voice so that you don’t have to look away from your probes. Again, where can you find all this at this price? You are so triggered by my excitement… Sorry - it is great you have other review channels that you can watch many measurements against, what you are told, are references - which they are not in fact. At least not real calibrated references. But - if that’s what you like…

their website has NO downloads at all, this means NO manuals, NO firmware updates. NO support links . like many of the cheap products it looks like you are own your own also there is no information about any guarantee or warrantee . The website gives NO accuracy figures and NO specifications - just a features list.
