I've replaced a lot of capacitors in my day. I've actually worked as a hand solderer in a professional capacity at an electronics plant, so I know just a smidge about electronics and repair of such. In the past, I would have to check them visually (looking for signs of bulging or leaking), or you would have to test the associated circuits with something like an oscilloscope to see if frequencies were starting to wander out of spec or voltages are spiking, giving you a good indicator of cap failure in the circuit somewhere. To put it bluntly, I've NEEDED a capacitor tester for some time. But industrial / professional cap testers are PRICEY bits of gear. Not having several grand to lay down on a top-of-the-line capacitor tester, I was grateful to see this come up, and decided to give it a try. As you can see from my photo, I keep quite a supply of capacitors on hand, from 2200uf to 20uf for repairs. So I tested this out on my stable of "known working" caps. I was really impressed with this. It takes a few seconds, but shows you what your capacitance rating is as well as ESR (which is basically internal resistance). Controls take a bit to get used to, but my big peeve about this is the non-captive screw / battery door. First of all, this is the age of lithium batteries. It would be great if this were simply rechargeable. But, sadly, it's powered by AA batteries. Which is bad enough. But when you find yourself a tiny screwdriver to open the battery door, BE READY, because the screw for the battery door is NON-CAPTIVE. Which means when you unscrew it, it falls out, hits the floor, and runs for the exit. I'm NOT a fan of that. Either put something on the screw to keep it from popping out like that, or make a battery door that doesn't require a screw, or make it rechargeable. This PITB screw for the battery door cost it a star. I HATE chasing tiny, hard to see screws across the floor that, if lost, means your battery door won't attach any more. My only other complaint is the display being a bit tough to read, especially with my aging eyes. But that could be me and my eyes as much as the display. Regardless, it'd be nice to see them make the display a bit bigger. Like, 50% bigger. At the end of the day, if you need a "budget capacitor tester", this checks a lot of boxes. This will get a lot of use on my work bench, and I'm glad to have it and I recommend it if you need one. But be careful of the battery door screw (!) and if you have old eyes like I do, don't forget your bifocals.

I ordered this to supplement my old Sencore Z-Meter. This isn't going to replace the Sencore, but when you just want to take some cap measurements and do basic verification of function, it's handy to have. The Sencore is a beast - it has its own carry bag - so I don't transport it when I can help it. I like that this meter can be powered by USB or AA batteries, and the instructions are mostly complete if a little hard to read. The case is a very hard slippery plastic that likes to skate around and fall off things. The prop is both difficult to get your finger under to open and flimsy when it is deployed. I removed it. Be careful where you place this meter while working, it's like a greased pig and it will slide off most any surface. The display is OK, backlighting is little uneven but it is pretty legible. I like having the terminals right on the meter face to insert cap leads, it's faster than messing around with (and calibrating) test leads. You will not confuse the construction with a Fluke, or really even with a Micronta (Radio Shack) meter. It's more like the Harbor Freight meters they periodically give away for free. Don't drop it and find a soft padded case of some sort and you'll be fine. I have not yet tried out the PC software with this item, so I can't offer any comments about it. This item does not do more detailed analysis of cap condition like the Z-Meter I have, but it also isn't going to hit you with 1000 volts if you aren't careful like the Sencore can. At the price, it's great for basic testing, car audio, makers and electronics hobbyists. There are definitely some value engineering choices made to hit a price point with this item, but if you treat it carefully it appears to do the job it was intended to perform, and that's enough for me to recommend it.

This instrument provides for measurements of capacitance with good accuracy and over a very large range of values, with either a manual-specified range or using auto-scaling. The other real useful measurement it provides is the ESR, as a measure of the health of capacitors. I have other measurement devices for these values and as far as I can tell this instrument readings align well with the other devices. For all but the most specialized purposes, the accuracy seems good enough. The measurement of capacitance is a running average of continuous testing until the contacts are removed. Some added niceties are the evaluation of the read value difference to the nearest standard value for capacitance (tolerance), an easy zero-calibration procedure and the improvement of accuracy by connecting a grounding port. Grounding is especially useful when powering via the USB port, as the ground is almost always a floating ground and measurements can be skewed. The build quality looks adequate, but far from great: the case is just plastic, no protective rubbery layer nor a reliable texture to the surface. The probes are thick, but short. The display seems repurposed from a Game Boy play device: grainy pixels, though readable and large enough to accommodate even full phrases for hints and other wordy messages. Buttons work, but have quite a bit of play – again, reminding of Game Boy. The device has an auto-shutoff, non-configurable, after one hour of non-interaction. Seems a bit long to me, there is quite some battery draining over such a duration. There is no carrying case provided, but this fits into a pocket. Overall, this device seems accurate enough to be useful. For the claim it is a professional device, I expected a significantly better build quality.
