Bought this for a basic electronics tech class at a CC. Required to be able to test for mAmps, which this does. I looked at specs and prices on Amazon and also company’s site. Decided on this one because of price $25 + S&H, and specs.
When I received it, could see it was Ok, but not heavy duty. Is bare bones. No extra dials. The dial that changes the settings sounds & feels on the cheap side, a loud snap, not a reassuring soft one, but it may be sturdy. (Thus the 4 **** rating)
The cables are nothing fancy…OK, cheap, but servicable. No extra’s or attachments, like alligator clips for ends of probes.
The Chinese are getting better at writing these manuals, but still there are “gaps” in the flow of info.
As far as its operating, well..it tested out fine, but have only just received it and I am no expert.
Price was a big determining factor. You get what you pay for.
Funny thing..the box that it came in says “Made in China” (duh!), but nowhere..NOWHERE on the multimeter or even the instruction booklet does it state that. Multimeter itself doesn’t even have a UL#, serial#, electrical info..nothing. Hmmm..kinda strange.

I ordered this meter after my old one (from Radio Shack), was ruined by leaking batteries. The meter is larger and heavier than the photo suggests. It’s actually a two-part package. The meter itself is gray but there is a detachable yellow rubber-like boot for the outside. This yellow boot gives the meter much of it’s bulk and heft. I found the so-called instruction manual inadequate but usable. At first, I thought the meter was defective because I couldn’t get a reading, but I found that once you fully seat the test-lead plugs, it works just fine. The meter ships with a 9 volt battery already installed. I love the fact that it uses a 9 volt. I am tired of the seemingly endless procession of replacement AA penlight batteries, around here. One small flaw, you have to remove the yellow protective boot and a couple of access screws to change the battery. A hinged door is much needed. Still, the meter seems to work well and though I haven’t had a chance to run it through all of it’s functions, it seems to be an outstanding bargain! I love this meter and regard it as a good deal.

Product is good and robust also. Range check precision is also good. Working fine and supplied accessories are also of good quality.
It becomes difficult to read data during night or in low lighting as there is no backlit. This should have been provided as a defacto standard.
Only limitation I found is that capasitor value range check is very limited, not more than 10mF. This is really limitation, as you, usually and always deal with higher capacity condensors.

I haven’t used the metre much, so cannot attest to its long term viability. So far, it has been fine.
I thought I had trouble with the unit, and sent it back to Kaito. The service folks were very helpful.
I believe my problem was in the manual that came with this DMM. It is exiguous, and that is being charitable. I would not be happy if I had paid what other on-line retailers are charging for this same metre.
I recommend this unit and the seller.
