KAIWEETS True-RMS multimeter with lit sockets review
A true-RMS auto-ranging meter that lights the correct input socket in green for the function selected — the one design idea in this hub aimed squarely at the mistake that damages meters.
The bottom line The lit jacks are the best idea in this hub. The missing category rating is the same gap as everywhere else here.
A meter designed around the mistake people actually make.
What the manufacturer publishes
Auto-ranging true-RMS measurement of AC and DC voltage, AC and DC current and more. Depending on the function selected, the correct input jacks light up green — stated as an aid for beginners and students. A large 6000-count display with backlight, a dual display and a bar graph. A non-contact voltage detection and live function with sound and light alarm.
Why the lit jacks matter more than the counts
Every multimeter has separate sockets for voltage and for current, and current is measured with the meter in series — effectively a piece of wire. Leave the lead in the current socket, turn the dial to volts, and touch a live supply, and you have connected that near-short across it. It is the single most common way a meter is destroyed and a fuse, or a person, is put at risk.
Lighting the right sockets for the selected function turns an invisible error into a visible one. No other meter in this hub does anything about it.
The NCV, and how to hold it
A contactless detector built into the meter is convenient and it is not a proof of isolation. Its silence depends on insulation thickness, screening and how the tool is held. It belongs at the start of a check, never at the end.

Questions people actually ask
What does lighting the sockets prevent?
The commonest destructive error with a multimeter is leaving the red lead in the current jack and then measuring voltage — which puts a near short circuit across the supply. KAIWEETS states the correct jacks light green for the selected function, which makes the mistake visible before it is made.
Is the built-in NCV a substitute for a proper tester?
No. A contactless detector says "there is probably voltage here", never "this is safe". Confirm anything you intend to work on with a two-pole tester that loads the circuit, and follow the manufacturer instructions for both tools.
What category is it rated to?
Not stated in the listing. Read the manual supplied with the meter.
AC/DC voltage · DC current · resistance · diode · double ceramic fuse
A compact meter whose distinguishing specification is its protection: a double ceramic fuse stated as flame-retardant, plus a silicone sleeve, at fourteen euros.
Best for: A first multimeter for household and hobby electronics, chosen for its fusing rather than its features.
True RMS · 6000 counts · 600 V · temperature, capacitance and frequency
A true-RMS meter with 6000-count resolution and the widest function list here — voltage, current, resistance, temperature, diode, continuity, capacitance and frequency — with probe caps included.
Best for: Household and light installation work where waveforms are not clean and the reading has to be right.
