What's the difference between auto-ranging and manual-ranging meters?
Reviewer consensus
Auto-ranging meters (like the Klein MM420 and most AstroAI models) pick the measurement range for you, which beginners and reviewers generally prefer for speed. Manual-ranging meters (like the Klein MM325) require you to select the range but settle on a reading faster once set, which some experienced users prefer. Reddit threads note that people who initially disliked auto-ranging often come around to it.
