Precise, big screen, blue backlight
The item came fast and well packaged, and it's bigger that I thought it would be (which is good as most of it is a display). The input and output is clearly marked on the back of the unit, as well as in the manual. There is a single button which is used to turn the backlight (it's blue by the way) on and off, as well as to reset the unit (as it keeps the energy counter even if turned off).I have tested in with voltages from 5 to 20 V and with currents from 0 to about 2A. Both the voltmeter and the ampermeter are quite precise, compared to other measurement tools I have and trust: the voltage is within 0.05V, and the current is within 0.001A as far as I can see. Measurements change every second or so, which is less frequent than your average multimeter.The screen is well readable from left, right, and down sides, but less so from the up side that is usually the case with liquid crystal displays, so take that into accounting when you mount it.One other remark is, the description says the lowest voltage is 6.5V, which is true except the backlight only comes in from about 7V, so I would say if you're going to need a backlight, consider the lowest voltage at say 7.5V to be on the safe side. Now, the upper limits are 100V and 20A as per description and documentation, unfortunately I don't have equipment to push the device to its limits.Finally, I have tested the alarm function and it works fine. You can set the two voltage thresholds (upper and lower), and if the voltage is not within the range specifies, both display and backlight flashes rapidly. This might come handy if say you need to prevent your lithium battery from discharging too much (i.e. undervoltage).I am giving it five stars overall, but especially for its precision.

Works for what I needed
This is a great little meter! I installed it in our cabin setup, and it gives me a clear, real-time view of how much energy we're using. The display is easy to read, and the installation was straightforward, and it used very little power.Just a heads-up for others: if you have an AC/DC switch in your system, the meter won’t record usage when it switches to the AC side. This is by design—it only tracks power on the DC side. Overall, very satisfied and would recommend it for anyone monitoring energy usage in an off-grid or hybrid setup.

These do the job at a great cost break.
These things are easy to install and they work really well. I am using two of these to balance the load and monitor my backup generator and they are perfect for this application. Obviously they are "OFF" most of the time and only function when I lose utility power or run my generator so they should last a long while. They were helpful for balancing the gen-load for sure, now they only monitor but a nice product that had high reviews on YouTube, which is primarily why I chose this particular model of all choices out there.

Works fine...after the guesswork
Works well in my homemade power station and tester. Plan on using your experience or intelligence to know how to work its features, as mine had no instructions how to set the backlight or anything. Just 1 button on the face to hold or push for settings, and I really don't know what the settings all are or how to navigate them by just 1 button and no instructions. Easy to wire up, the diagram is on back of the case, and a small screwdriver is only needed

Nice. Measures current, power, and energy (Wh) only in one direction. Sometimes flashes at startup
The media could not be loaded. I like it. Clear display. Simple to connect (just 4 wires). Shows V, A, W, and Wh (i.e., energy delivered).Note that A, W, and Wh are measured only in one direction. In the other direction, they show A=0, W=0, and Wh does not change.Sometimes when initially connected, the backlight and the voltage value flash. I'm not sure why.

Working fine, hope they last
Hooked 2 of these up on roof heat tape circuits after one heat tape cable died last year and there was no way to tell. It could have resulted in ice dams which let water into the house. So now I can just look at these every day in the winter and insure they're drawing about the amount of electricity you see in the lower left of each unit. Pretty accurate too, as the left circuit has a single 500w heat tape cable on it. Close enough and this is the cable that failed last year. The right circuit has more cables attached to it but if it falls by more than 100w (20 foot cable), then I know something is wrong.

Nice little display!
Shows volts, amps, and watts, and accumulated watts (easily resettable), with a backlight if you turn it on. Easy to wire up. It measures about a volt more or less than other low-cost meters that I have, but I don't know which one (if any) is correct. The accuracy is good enough for my hobby project.

displayed wrong voltage values
It worked great for about 3 weeks, then it started reading 5 volts higher than actual. I noticed it was reading odd values for a solar panel, so I checked the solar panel with a voltmeter and a separate powermeter I have, both showed the same results, 5 volts less. For context, it was never exposed to the outdoors. I like the size of the font, the blue backlight, wiring diagram and simplicity of it, but it just isn't accurate after 3 weeks of use and there's no easy way for average home user to recalibrate it after it fails. Research on what to do revealed several posts about it failing and reading incorrect values, maybe I just received "a bad one", but none of my other meters display wrong values after literally years of use and abuse.- just my experience, yours may differ.
