I find this multi-meter an excellent example of the use of a highly integrated purpose built integrated circuit that provides quite adequate precision with a wide selection of options. My initial attraction to this unit was its ability to do clamp DC current measurements at the 2.000 +-1 milliamp level. This enables me to observe small current levels on circuits that rely on batteries and see if there is too much power off current draw (think automobile with radio that continues to pull current form the battery even when the ignition switch is turned off). Other features that I require are auto power off, continuity test and resistance testing. After using this meter I find it exceptional in both size features and ease of use.

Plus: Great features, especially having inductive DC amps is a bonus. It's also very small and portable, and looks and feels good. Rotary switch and leads feel quality. Minus: The display takes over a second or two to display whatever the current voltage you are reading is, so it lags behind real time. This can be a problem when diagnosing circuits with intermittent problems, for example, if the voltage comes on but then goes off again in less than 2 or 3 seconds, the display will "move" and show activity, but no numbers will be displayed. So you can only guess or "assume" what the voltage might have been when the display moved, but unless the voltage stays on, this meter will not quickly stabalize and give you a reading. If the circuit you are measuring has stable voltage (or no voltage) for more than two or three seconds, then this isn't a problem, other than waiting for the couple seconds to stabilize. Most brand name American meters, like Fluke, Fieldpiece, UEI, etc, read much quicker.Read full review

I keep this meter on the bench at all times for its DC current clamp-meter capabilities. It's a terrific price for that capability and it works really well; just remember to zero out the meter (with the button dedicated to that purpose) when the meter is in its measuring position and no current is flowing; it's sensitive to stray magnetic fields, as any such clamp-meter must be. I wouldn't choose this for high-voltage work (like mains voltage), not because it wouldn't work, but because it likely doesn't have the safety margin of my (much more expensive) Fluke. But for general bench-top use, this one is great to have around and a terrific value.

Researched this product considerably before purchasing and am very pleased with it in the short time I've had it. I'm working within my opinion of the limitations of the product and won't be using for high voltage or high current measurements. Wish it had backlighting or used a higher contrast display...whether I tackle that mod is TBD. Waiting for calibration standards to arrive so accuracy can be evaluated.

The multimeter UNI-T UT210D is really handy, fits perfectly in hand for right-handed person. The clamp spring is strong enough for precise and stable measure, however, weak enough to operate it with 1 finger. Build quality is sturdy, screen is easy readable, buzzer is clear and loud. The NCV is way more sensitive than in other similar meters: it feels the 230V AC grid from about 30 cm. DC ammeter requires zeroing for precise measure. The clamp branch is pretty straight: this makes easy to slick it between wires.
