Pros & Cons
Pros
Longer wire design is a significant upgrade. Have solar panels for rechargeable generators. Some have a max input for charging. Firstly, firstly, i have a couple of similar meters and wanted to get one with longer leads.
Cons
There is no reset button so you can't reset this bogus peak reading. You can't measure an amps peak (ap) or watts peak (wp) value at all unless your external load surges above these high built in background noise levels after it is connected. If you w... Read More
The accuracy for current (a) measurements below about 1 amp is really bad. The reading goes to zero when there is still over 100ma flowing. I suspect the problem is these type of devices have an internal shunt that is connected to a op-amp to scale th... Read More

My last one's display (different meter from another seller) went out in less than a year.
Competitiveness
I've compared it with other meters, and the makerfire consistently provides reliable and consistent readings.
I have a couple of similar meters and wanted to get one with slightly longer leads.
I've had some "other" versions of similar meter.

I recently used it to check the battery health on my electric skateboard by discharging the battery into a resistive load through it and then measuring the energy it took to charge from empty to full

I’ve been using this for over a year and my only complaint is that the display cover may not protect the lcd as my old one was hit by a stick while riding which destroyed the screen

This one has much longer leads and also has a light background screen with dark characters instead of the inverted dark screen with light characters

Powerwerx whom i consider to be a reputable company lists their meter with 12 awg cables as 100 amp peak and 45 amp continuous
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Even their model with the beefy 8awg cable is only rated at 140 amps peak
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
My guess is that the specs on this model are overrated
