The Crenova 890Z is a 6000-count True RMS meter priced at £33.97, ranked seventh in this guide. At 4.7 out of 5 from 664 ratings it sits at the top of the rating range this guide covers — every meter in it falls between 4.2 and 4.7 — but it carries a small fraction of the rating volume of the cheapest meter here. What makes the 890Z worth a second look is its own listing: the title promises 6000 counts, 1000 VDC and 750 VAC, the Item Highlight names nine measurement jobs, and the specification table's Measurement Type field names four.

That gap is the thing to check before buying. The highlight lists capacitance, frequency, temperature and NCV; the spec table lists only Ammeter, Multimeter, Ohmmeter and Voltmeter. The bullets go further still, adding transistor (hFE) and a K-type thermocouple in the box — the thermocouple the £11.99 meter that leads this guide does not include, because that one has no capacitance, frequency or temperature range at all. Two spec fields do little work here: "Minimum Operating Voltage: 1.5 Volts" is the AA battery, not a floor on what the 890Z can measure, and "Style Name: Safety" describes nothing you can test. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the Crenova 890Z, not from testing we carried out.

## Questions people ask

**What does the Crenova 890Z measure?**

The 890Z bullets list AC/DC current, AC/DC voltage, resistance, frequency, capacitance, continuity, diode, transistor (hFE) and temperature. The specification table's Measurement Type field lists only Ammeter, Multimeter, Ohmmeter and Voltmeter.

**Does the Crenova 890Z read temperature?**

The listing says yes: temperature is named in the 890Z bullets and the package includes a K-type thermocouple. The Measurement Type field in the specification table does not list temperature.

**Is the Crenova 890Z auto-ranging?**

The title calls the 890Z auto-ranging and one bullet refers to "the auto multimeter". The specification table does not state a range mode.

**What safety rating does the Crenova 890Z carry?**

CAT III, listed under Specification Met on the 890Z and repeated in the first bullet of the listing.

**What comes in the box with the Crenova 890Z?**

The listing says: the 890Z multimeter, one K-type thermocouple, one pair of probe test leads, one pair of alligator clip test leads, two 1.5V LR6 AA batteries, a carrying box and a manual.

**How many ratings does the Crenova 890Z have?**

664 ratings at 4.7 out of 5. The breakdown shown with it lists 81% five-star, 15% four-star, 3% three-star and 1% two-star.
