Like those folks who laughed at the first Hyundai's (including me) or at TOYotas, Hondas and DATsuns. Are we laughing now? Things will sort out. Garbage companies will close their doors.

I note that the companies you mentioned are all manufacturing products in the US. Does that mean we can expect those Chinese companies that survive to start manufacturing here as well? :W

mine came in on schedule - I like it. :C

Geeesh ! Another China WM hater ? What happened, Walmart cutting your prices somewhere along the line ? What are you drivin,....or typing on ??

They better not raise prices too much cause they are about charging their worth right now. The Chinese are experts at making stuff that LOOKS like just what we will buy. Whether it works, is safe to use, won't mame or dismember you or your kids, or burn your house down is mostly irrelevant. If they make it LOOK correct the they paid for the container load. Most people don't send it back or return it to Walmart, etc. We just keep tossing it in our landfills and handing over more money. When I return an item I always exclaim "I'm here to return your Chinese Crap".

Prices have gotten better since I started this thread,..... the prices of the last 2 volt meters I bought, incl shipping, was $1.66, and $.37
Oh, and I almost forgot, the latest was a portable am fm radio for $1.32, but that was another 3 bucks for shipping.

Use a wireless relay so you don't have to rise from your armchair. CLICK

Thanks very much

I just received two of these. I got one for my RV and one for my cabin.
Not being to electronicaly inclined I have a question.

The monitor has three wires, red, black, white. Connect red to + and black to - and the display lights up. Then connect white to + and voltage is displayed.
My question is, what is the best way to wire this to a switch so the voltage is displayed with the push of a button?
Thanks for any help.

Place a switch in line with your red wire?
