"Must have" in your labs.
This device is true full-featured LCR. It has measurement frequencies of DC/100Hz/120Hz/1kHz/10kHz/100kHz. The highest frequency used to be the domain of only bench meters; hobby meters often only went to 1kHz or 10kHz if you were willing to pay for it. It wasn't until recently that a hobbyist could afford a 100kHz LCR. On top of this, the meter can measure theta - phase angle, D (aka tan d) - dissipation factor, ESR, Q, series and parallel inductance, series and parallel capacitance, series and parallel resistance. It also has the ability to sort into bins:±0.25%, ±0.5%, ± 1%, ±2%, ±5%, ±10%, ±20%, and -20%+80%. Agilent has a similar handheld meter,the U1733C which costs ~$400. Basically all of these features are present on the Agilent and the Der EE, though the Agilent has one extra resistance range and has a few tenths of a percentage better accuracy on some ranges (for 4-5x the price). Great value for money.Read full review...

Good enough for the price
An LCR with quite a good spec for the money - it would be nicer with a better kelvin clip design and longer leads (see the uploaded mod on YouTube). Mine didn't come with a hard carrying case - though they are listed (but not easy to source)
my operating manual wasn't in English - but they are easily downloaded if you're on the interweb
30% extra to pay (VAT and handling, import duty etc)

Full-featured and easy to use
A good kit together with the robust and well made meter, allows rapid determination of capacitor health (other than leakage) at the appropriate frequency and is a good tool for matching Q values in various design projects. It’s a shame that I cannot set a default test frequency (or I haven’t found how to do it). Tight spacing of the component test socket allows small components to be tested easily. Blue backlight not ideal for contrast but illumination is even and the display is clear. A very good addition for the bench at this price point.Read full review...

compared to ATmega tester the ATmega gives the DE5000 a good run for the money but lacks the low milli ohm readings and selected frequency tests
non brand 470uf cap reads 392uf 1khz 0.19 esr and 415uf 100hz 0.2 esr
on a zoyi meter 457uf and a Bryman 235 463uf ATmega tester 437uf 1.6esr
then tested my DE5000 alongside an older 5y old DE5000 read 394uf
Conclusion the DE5000 must be true readings compared to the other equipment.
low resistance measurements for wire wound resistors 1ohm , 0.3, were very accurate all tests with the supplied short alligator.
I wait for some kelvin clips to make up a test lead to replace the aligators.

Great product, makes life easier if you know how to use it proparly
Got the product, calibrated it quite easly, used it no problems.
smart device, finds out what it is measuring, caps or inductors, gives fast results.
cant tell anything about accuracy yet, dont have any cap reference device but measuring
various caps / inductors, it gave me close results to the theoretical calculations i made
its light, its portable, it works as advertised.
im happy.Read full review...

Cant go wrong at the price and performance
great product well made good price I did the kelvin clamp conversion to the adapter with the crocodile clips.
I compared the DE -5000 to a $17,000 dollar E4980A Precision LCR Meter, 20 Hz to 2 MHz keysight at work and its so close its unbelievable.
One thing i can say is if you are new to this sort of LCR meter watch this video to help properly understand how it functions on youtube by
(TRX Bench) LCR's meter D, Q, Phi, ESR what is it all about demonstrated on DER EE DE-5000

Great product
Built like a tank, when compared to my little Atlas ESR meter. Ton of features. It is unbeatable at this price. I took apart the TL-21 croc probe and replaced original leads with some longer Kelvin type leads with fine croc jaws, now it is awesome for desoldered parts. After trying this LCR meter I almost want to buy a DMM made by the same company.Read full review...

Well known for accuracy at reasonable price point.
This LCR meter has been around for several years and is very popular because it offers very good accuracy for a meter costing several hundred dollars less than high end brand names. It is versatile, and very useful to me to check electronics components such as capacitors.Read full review...

Excellent, inexpensive meter that is easy to use.
I ordered this meter after some research for a good but affordable LCR meter. Much of my work involves the restoration of old power supplies and I have a consequent need for ESR measurement. The meter is exactly what I wanted; in particular, it offers true 4-wire Kelvin measurement to negate the effect of the test leads themselves when making very low-value measurements. This particular kit comes with two sets of Kelvin clips; the tweezers allow in situ measurement of small (SMD) components while the alligator clips are more universal. Out of the box, the alligator clips are of limited use due to their extremely short cable length, but it is very straightforward to modify these with more practical Kelvin clips; details of the mod are widely available online.
A minor point: be aware that the calibration routine takes around 60s to complete, and will need repeated after each power cycle, including switching between battery and external power.
Very highly recommended.Read full review...

Excellent product priced far below it's competitors
It's solid, high quality with a great feature set. This easily costs three times more with other brands that are often just rebadging the DE5000. Only minus is that the alligator clips are quite short.Read full review...

Don't miss out this RLC meter.
Nice Japanese instrument made in Taiwan. Well built, solid feel and accurate. It analyzes the parasitic properties of capacitors, inductors and resistors, and present them on the screen. It can measure capacitive impedance, ESR, inductive impedance, etc, at several frequencies, just like any professional-level instrument. It includes self-calibration and accessories. It works as good as an Agilent, but at 30% of the price. There could be some improvement in the leads, but they aren't bad. Still a good addition to any electronic lab. Very recommended.Read full review...
