Finally buying a new multimeter

Hi! For my entire life i have been using a 5$ multimeter and i am sick of it, i want to throw that junk away, but sadly it's my only one. Because of this i have been saving up my pocket money (i haven't had lunch for a month) to get a new one. Yesterday i was searching multimeters on my local electronics shop website (dac.ge) when i came across this specific unit Sinometer DM88. I think it has all the functions i need for the time being.

 The Webpage: https://dac.ge/?en&act=product&prodid=2097

 

75GEL is around 28USD.

 

I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Looks pretty good to me. If it has all the functions you think you'll need, then I see no reason why you would encounter any problems. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

Can you buy stuff from eBay?

 

Uni-T UT139C is a very good multimeter for the money, costs around 37$ : ebay link

Well rounded, good accuracy, comes with decent probes... Uni-T generally makes good multimeters.

 

Sinometer seems to just rebrand multimeters from others, for example the red ones with UT (ex UT33 series) in name are from Uni-T, the ones with MS in product code are from Mastech etc etc...

I checked the shipping info and turns out it doesn't ship here (literally no one ships to my country), so i would have to give a 3rd party company ~10USD to transport it. Alongside with price increase, it means that i will have to add 20USD to my budget, around 70% of the initial budget, so i don't think it's worth the hassle.

But still, i deeply appreciate your suggestion, so thanks!

That looks like just a Fluke knock off.

 

I have gotten great results from my UNI-T ut210d. It's a great, compact, clamp meter that does everything. It's bang on with the Fluke 117 at work, but only $40 on amazon.
