⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Emily Tran - University Research Lab
"The PM9840 has become a staple in our electronics lab. The simultaneous display of voltage, current, power, power factor, and frequency makes it incredibly efficient for student experiments. The ±1% accuracy is more than sufficient for our coursework, and the HOLD function is perfect for capturing transient responses during circuit testing. Setup was plug-and-play with our data logger via RS485."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlos Mendez - Plant Maintenance Supervisor
"We deployed three PM9840 units across our production line for motor load monitoring. The 20mA–40A range covers everything from control relays to conveyor drives. I especially appreciate the HOLD and UPDATE functions—they let us capture unstable readings during startup surges. Paired with our SCADA system via RS485, it’s reduced manual logging by 70%. Durable build too; no issues in dusty, high-vibration zones."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Professor Alan Wu - Electrical Engineering Department
"Purchased the Base Model for our undergraduate labs. It strikes the right balance between functionality and cost. Students can visually correlate power factor with load changes in real time, which enhances understanding. The only limitation is the lack of onboard data logging, but the RS485 interface allows us to work around it with a Raspberry Pi. After six months of heavy student use, all units still perform flawlessly."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jessica Lin - Independent Energy Consultant
"I use the PM9840 for residential energy audits, and it’s been a game-changer. The compact size and multi-parameter visibility let me quickly assess appliance efficiency on-site. I love the UPDATE button—it instantly refreshes readings when testing HVAC cycles. While it’s not a clamp meter, its precision in measuring low currents (down to 20mA) helps identify phantom loads accurately. Great value for solo practitioners."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
