If this is the Digital Multimeter mentioned a month or so back, I bought two of them; one for me and one for my son. One of his sons is a student at New Mexico State University in the electrical engineering program. The son and other students bought the SAME meter due to recommendation from their professor.
Mine has NO brand label, but is bright orange and has an LED backlighted display for use in low light situations. I like it.

Well, I ended up buying 6 of them from 3 sources. The 2 from Chinese sources came with non-English manuals. I have the English manual in .pdf if
anyone wants one. Of the 6, I kept one, I gave one to my daughter, I gave two away as Christmas presents, and two people at the airport wanted one so
they paid me for them. I installed batteries and tested all 6 of them on several ranges. I primarily tested DC voltage, AC voltage, frequency and
one or two ohm scales. All were very accurate.
What got me test them is I have a Harbor Freight throw away meter that is always reading 2 volt over the actual. So I started comparing DC voltages
on every meter that I found sitting around. The Peak Meters all read the same and matched my oscilloscope. So I assume that they are accurate. I
finally got out the Peak Meter and found that it read correctly.
The high reading HFT one threw me for a loop at first because I could not understand how two 12 volt batteries were reading 14.5 and 14.6 in a coach I
was working on. I looked everywhere for that voltage source. It was the damn meter. I need to remember to hit the it with a hammer so I do to try
to use it again.
I also ordered 6 sets of meter leads with alligator clips on them for less than $2.00 each. I hate using the slide on adapters. One set of leads
went to each new meter owner.
I'm sorry you got a bad one. Hopefully they will make it right.
