it works good, easy to use n easy to read

Works as expected Very simple to use and easy to understand

Excelente and a good price

This works well, I dont have to find a lamp or toaster to find out if an outlet is getting power. I have another that is just two probes but you have to get them in correctly, mess around for a bit. This thing you just plug in and voila! (or not). I am a novice and a bit afraid of electricity. I can install fixtures, repair lamps, hookup outlets and switches, but nothing more complicated than that. I believe this is essential for homeowners. I recommend.

Easy to use. Little uncomfortable to hold.

I replaced all the outlets in my home, this guy was a life saver! Reviewers who say you cant tell the difference between white and yellow light need a tutorial on how to read the tester! Super simple, great product, great price!

Must have product

Performs well at checking receptacles for correct installations.

First of all, it works. There are however two problems, one worse than the other: 1) The end of the plug was blunt, not tapered. Consequently it did could not be pushed into the new (probably stiffer) outlets I was trying to test. It would push into older outlets that had been loosened up a bit through use, but there was no reason to test older outlets. To get this to work, I had to put an extension cord into the outlet to be tested, then put the meter into the well-used extension cord. Ill probably taper the plug later with a file. 2) The yellow/white coding on the label is difficult to read. As someone mentioned earlier, thats easy to fix with a marker, but is a design flaw that could easily be corrected by the manufacturer. Except for those two problems, it worked fine. I didnt have any problem with bleed-through on the lights, and so the indicator was easy to read.

This one was one of the lowest cost outlet testers I could find. It doesnt have any fancy gadgets but it does what it is intended to do. I really dont think I will need another one since it seems sturdy enough. I am not an electrician so I cant comment on specs, but this is great for us DIY people.
