As an Electrical Engineering student and hobbyist, I have often heard stories about the quality (and cost) of Fluke instruments. I’ve always wanted to test one of their multimeters, to see if they meet up to their reputation – and more importantly, if they are worth the extra money when compared with a cheaper multimeter. Thus, I was very excited when I heard I was picked to roadtest the Fluke 233 here on Element 14.
In this review, I will first describe the meter, its specifications, the included items and optional accessories, and give my opinion about them. Then, I will compare the Fluke 233 with a cheaper multimeter, the UNI-T UT60A-cn, and finally conclude whether or not the Fluke is indeed worth the additional costs.
This document contains the review. I have also posted high quality versions of the photos as a separate document.
