LCD gets scratch by passing finger over.
Trash. It's made with cheap plastic and the paint they used rub off if you try to clean it. Wash your hand, rub your finger over the LCD and it'll scratch. Use a microfiber clothe with LCD cleaner and it'll scratch. It's an awkward shape so when you put it in the case it'll be awkward to hold. Oh, and forget about the magnet, it won't fit into the case with the magnet on. I got the magnet and it won't even slide onto the multimeter. Yes, it's unlock when sliding it in. Have to chisel it out.

    I would not buy any Milwaukee products that have o
    Really surprised how the over molded black rubber material is reverting. Will not get the idea out of this meter as I gave with the other brands I have.

      Gives false negative readings
      Several times this meter indicated NO A/C voltage present when there actually was full 120 volt power. I fused a screwdriver to a box relying on this. I returned the meter to Milwaukee within the warranty period. They sent another. But I bring myself to trust it. I check all A/C power with a different meter. This meter is not safe.

        Display is sexy
        I paid $240 for mine, and it was worth it. I've used every function. It's not as fast at autoranging as the newest flukes, but I like the display better. It's worlds better than the pile of broken meters in the shop at my work.

          Works great. Wasn't sure if I would like this compared to a fluke multimeter but the display is fantastic. Recommended

          Not up to Milwaukee's normal quality standard
          This meter performs well but as others have noted the rubber covering including rotary knob covering is inferior and has become sticky/tacky and makes meter almost useless as sticky residue is all over hands after using. Overmold is deteriorating. This is certainly not up to lifetime tool expectation Milwaukee strives for in producing world class products. Probably Manufacturing Material defect.

            For those who want to upgrade their electrical (diagnostic) tools, the Milwaukee multimeter series is an excellent direction to go. I have both a Klein and an older Fluke Series II Multimeter(s) and yes they both work. Did I ned a new one? No, but after using the new Milwaukee, I’m glad I made the purchase. It’s easy to use and the white on black background screen makes it very easy to read . Suggestion to Milwaukee, ditch the soft case, which cost an extra $20 bucks and switch to a hard molded case.

            Falling Apart
            I've used this on construction job sites and within a laboratory setting. Great product, but cheap or inferior rubber coating. The rubber has turned sticky/tacky and is falling off the unit. At this point, the holders can no longer hold the wire leads. This should be considered a mfg defect.

              SLOW and calibration is far from accurate
              No leads attached and meter reading 300mv - ohm reading has 4-5 sec delay - tested same resistor 6 times = 6 different readings. Not a meter I can trust. First Milwaukee product I did not like - - Display clarity is nowhere close to the picture - Returned

                Display not great
                The white on black display is lacking compared to much cheaper meters. The black is not very black and the white not exactly white. The backlights are more like side lights. The plastic face appears soft and arrived with swirls. Would like to see another in person, nowhere close to the image on the box.

                    Nothing more to say I suggest By Milwaukee
                    Great I wouldn’t buy anything else but a Milwaukee. First Milwaukee I ever bought was a drywall drill and it still works to this day. And that was over 30 years ago

                    Really like the screen and themal sensors. They are easy to use. Wish it came with exposed probes as well. The short points don't reach into some things. I work on HVAC equipment and love the versatility. It's tough and easy to red in bright sunlight and dark basements.

                    I am a Marine service Tech. DMM’s are vital to diagnostic work in my field. For the 24 hours I owned it, it was an EXCELLENT meter.. fantastic display, and since it is actually a Fluke 117.. your getting a great value as well. Sadly it was submerged in saltwater inadvertently and shorted out violently
