I bought this exact model for around 300 Canadian in 2019 (about 206 Euros). I was lucky to find a great deal for a brand new one shipped from China (the manual is in CH and EN). I was shocked about the features and the precision of measurements, its sturdiness and overall quality + feel. Still working strong. People, for its price point, if you're on budget and can find it around CAD $500, it's a no brainer, get it!

IP65?! Hot damn! I've always wanted to measure mains voltage while taking a swim!

I used to install mobile solar power systems. I have a Fluke 289 I use to chart power consumption, charging, etc. I needed a second recording meter so acquired a Uni-T UT181A at a very attractive price. It served me for 6 years before I retired. I still have both meters but use the Uni-T UT181A as my bench meter because of the awesome display. I also utilize the dual temperature probe feature. I learned to hate the rechargeable battery, which demands a routine charging schedule to make sure you don’t get caught flat! Think about how you use your meter to see if you can tolerate that inconvenience. Otherwise, it’s a pleasure to use.

Nice meter and good review. One minor point at 8:00 minutes in I think the nS is conductance in nanosiemens and not time in nanoseconds.

The UT181A really stands out from the rest of their products.

i like UNI-T it has many functionality and the price is big factor.

As the man says. It definitely reminds me of something!!!
They do need a nicer bag though. Makes such a difference.

Shocking how much better the display of the Uni-T is compared to the Fluke and also how much faster it responds, especially in the trend/graph mode when zooming in and out. I wonder how long a full battery charge lasts when logging stuff throughout the night for instance. The Fluke devours batteries like there's no tomorrow. :)

A most excellent 60, 000 count multimeter. It would be a real game changer if it was a 100, 000 count meter with the way test equipment is improving. 😎 Tony thanks for the great video.
FYI: Amazon... $359.28 UNI-T True RMS Data Logging Multimeter UT181A display 60, 000 Counts

Fluke is very dificult to read if its angled. it has to point directly at you.
Is this the problem with uni-t ?

I just got a new Aneng SZ20. I do like Uni-T and have a 161e+. It cost me about $100Cdn. But the Aneng only cost $55Cdn with free shipping. The 181 is literally ten times that! It does not have all the features of the UT181, but is 25, 000 count and has a dual display. You should take a look at it. Aneng is not too bad.
Thanks

I wonder if it is better inside than the ut171 which looks dangerous to use on any unsafe voltage.

[GraditelMacedonia]

Top! Nice multimeter, but will be more better if Uni-t put option GRAPHICAL.

Tony, would you please let me know how measured frequency 32768 Hz is presented on UT181A display ?

[grerlab]

Very good copy...??? The big question...!!! 🤔🤔🤔
Nice meter and good review...
Thanks Tony for the vidéo...👍

Tony, you didn't check UT181A with LBA02A in resistance mode. I was trying to check my own and it shows strange values then. Other multimeter shows correct values. So my question is that maybe UT181A doesn't work properly with LBA02A in resistance mode.

Nice review! I have the cheaper sibling UT161D and i'm very pleased with it for my skills of use. The instrument itself is very good, but as you say, the software leave a bit to wish for the 161D as well. Mine doesn't log internally, only on the PC but that's doesn't matter to me as i use it stationary only anyway. UNI-T makes quite good multimeters for an affordable price to us happy amateurs.

Is this multimeter audible diode mode continues beep in case of shorted diode and short beep forward diode?

[JohnUsp]

The most important test is the "Time", if the DMM keeps accurate after 5, 10 years. Best to buy a Fluke, passed the Time test.

Hi Tony, congratulations on your videos, they are great. So what do you think, do you recommend purchasing this multimeter at this point?? Thank you.
