In my opinion, the measurement modes of the Fluke are slightly more useful. More information

about the supported ranges and accuracies of the UNI-T can be found on the Uni-Trend website. Like

the Fluke, the UNI-T is calibrated according to ISO-9001 procedures. Also, it should be noted that I

cannot validate the given specifications, not for the UNI-T nor for the Fluke because I do not have the

test equipment needed for that.

Further, the Fluke is more than twice as accurate for all measurement modes that are supported by

both instruments. However, how useful is this extra accuracy in practice? For some uses, such as

calibration of machines or laboratory work, it is. However, the more accurate bench-top multimeters

are preferable in these situations. For building or debugging circuits, an estimate measurement or

continuity test will often suffice; in situations where the exact value is important, an oscilloscope is

more useful because they can also capture the complete waveforms, even at high frequencies. Thus,

because portable multimeters are made for all-round usage, the accuracies of both meters are good

enough in my opinion, although the Fluke absolutely performs better.

Build quality

The first thing that attracts attention is the difference in weight: the Fluke weighs twice as much as

the UNI-T, and it is also a bit larger. The texture of the UNI-T is not as nice as that of the Fluke, which

certainly makes the UNI-T feel cheaper. The rotary knob of the UNI-T rotates more smoothly,

however, and the UNI-T does have a separate power button. Also, the stand of the UNI-T is thicker

than that of the Fluke, although it will easily break off too if you pull it too far.

As mentioned before, the UNI-T has a fourth connector for high current measurements. This means

the probes must be re-plugged more often, which is more error-prone. You do not need much force

to pull the probe plugs out, contrary to the Fluke. However, they will not fall out accidentally, which

is why I like them more than the connectors of the Fluke.

Another eye-catching difference is the clarity of the display. Even without backlight, the Fluke display

is a lot more readable than the UNI-T display, as you can see in the picture below, where I tried to

keep incidence of ambient light the same for both meters.

Summarizing, the build quality of the Fluke is better and it feels much more solid in general, although

I like some parts of the UNI-T better, such as its power button and connectors.
