This meter is amazing for what it can do and I would have given it 5-stars. The reason for the 4-stars Is leads that come with it are the equivalent to something I’d expect from harbor freight. Fortunately I own a set of FieldPiece ADK7 Leads which make it a 5-star meter. Supco as a customer I’d rather pay 20-30 bucks more and have quality leads. Please improve.
Company Response
Thank you for your feedback. Here is a response from Redfish:
Thanks for your feedback. Our standard leads are several grades above an entry level lead. They are CAT II 1000 volt rated at 10 amps with alligator clips and tip covers. The leads are universal, so you can use aftermarket leads in your Redfish iDVM550. We will take a look at the leads again and see how we can improve them.

first meter arrived and would not read voltage. waited a month for replacement. 2nd meter arrived and will not connect via bluetooth to measure quick or the supco app. sending this one back.

Love the features. Seamless with MeasureQuick App For power factor and testing capacitors under load..love the Bluetooth and capture functions with the app. Inrush function works well// this meter will not replace other meter functions. No DC microamp for flame sensors. Tested 3 phase compressor windings ohmed out 0.00 retested with Fluke ohmed out good .8 ohms on L1.L2.L3// will Not take Fluke out of arsenal and now a little cautious of this meter but still new so see what happens. Overall seems to be a quality built product designed with a specific purpose. MeasureQuick and works well for its purpose. Unfortunately will still need second meter and will continue to verify accuracy of this one when ohming out compressors.

This is a great tool. I use it everyday, it makes electrical checks easier and faster than ever. I can record my findings and upload them to my company's computer system. Money well spent.

Fast shipping first and foremost. The abilities of this meter when paired with the companion app (powered by measurequick) and the measurequick App are beyond impressive. As with many other tool/app combinations in or by measurequick, the functions of 10 tools and equations from a whole pocket guide are slapped together, the work is done for you, and it’s all in the palm of your hand. Being able to check power and power factor all in one screen, in real time, is about the coolest thing so far. For cons, I still have to keep my Fluke with me because it reads straight continuity (0.000 Ω) with anything under about 1 Ω. So, at first use for Ohming out a compressor, I almost diagnosed it with a shorted run winding, until I Double checked it with my Fluke. Since then, I’ve ohmed our a few more that would also have been diagnosed as dead if I didn’t have my Fluke with me. That is disappointing, because in the summer I like to carry just a veto tp3b and keep my tools and meters streamlined, so now if I want to be able to use the redfish features but still have resistance measurements I can trust, I have to keep 2 meters on me. And if I had to nitpick to come up with another con, it would be the leads. Not very good quality. Especially the alligator clips that come with them. Other than those 2 things I have run this thing through the majority of its paces and it is a fantastic meter.

Fluke is a name I can trust for meters.
Milwaukee is a name I can trust for power tools.
I appreciate names I can trust.
TruTech is a name I can trust, when I’m looking for a place to buy many of the names I trust.

Three words. Woks with measurequick. Measurequick is the future of HVAC Service and commissioning.

So far it's been a great meter. The app has some really good tests on it. It's nice not having to cpute capacitance manually on a running cap.

I like using the meter but the instructions on using some of the special features aren't mentioned at all. Plus, the audible continuity test is so faint, you can't tell if it's on or not.

Tru Tech Tools never fails to satisfy. I went to place my order and found a glitch on the site. They corrected the glitch, got my order placed and shipped to me very quickly. I've been using Tru Tech Tools for years, because their tag line of "Quality Tools, Essential Support" is 100% the truth

I bought this for its integration with measure quick and, it works very well for that purpose. The SUPCO tech link app also has some nice tests that work with this meter. You can log voltage or resistance to see if a switch is opening. You can log flame sensor current. The tech link app has capacitor pass fail tests that don't add much for the tech but, do add a more objective standard to show to your customer in the case of a week cap. It does have a lot of functionality especially for a moderately priced meter. IMO the Fieldpiece options are better quality and are likely to have better out of warranty support. I would suggest choosing whether you prefer the Fieldpiece job link app or measure quick and let that be the deciding factor between the idvm 550 and the sc 680 or 480.

Good analyzer the only problem is that the battery terminals hardly made contact with the actual battery and when the meter was set on a certain position I will turn otherwise good product

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
