NOTE: The backlight noise only affected the first version of the meter released. It only affected about 10% of Version 1, Brymen changed the hardware with some updates that corrected this issue.

So I normally don't do multi meter reviews, but this one was different.
First, its by first Brymen and I have had to listen to a friend for months tell me how good they are.
Second, its a re-branded meter, with the EEVBlog logo.So I just had to do a review throw every test i was capable of doing and had the equipment to do at it.So I did, Enjoy.......

UPDATE: Some others reported the capacitor responsible for the back light noise and I was able to fix mine: youtu.be/TfNuTmqtiD4

NOTE: I know this is a long review, but it had a lot of features to cover for such a small CAT IV rated meter. I kept it as short as possible. I tested everything including mV, mA, uA and all except diodes, somehow I over looked that.

For a comical break after the long review be sure to check out this video about the BM235 meter:
