Is the Fluke 289 the replacement for the Fluke 45?
The main difference is the Fluke 45 was a bench top unit and the Fluke 289 is hand held. Functionally the Fluke 45 had a 5.5 dual display. If you are good with going portable, then the Fluke 289 is a good pick.

Can i use this 289 multimeter with one of the accessory clamps (400 or 410) to measure motor inrush current?
It is recommended to use a clamp meter or meter with an inrush function. Response time is based on the meter and that is about a 200ms sample rate. You can talk to a Fluke sales expert about selecting the right product for your needs at 877-864-5880.

Rated 1 out of 5 by A Ferg from Horrible experience with promo I ordered a multimeter and spent the extra money to take advantage of the tier 2 promo that they were advertising.. little did i know, the items for tier 2 were out of stock so i ordered the more expensive multimeter for nothing.. not only that, i never received my promo gift either even after sending receipts of invoice and all as asked..
Whoever Fluke partners with for their promo is an embarrassment to the company and has assured me that i will never spend another dollar with them

Rated 3 out of 5 by Ben72 from Accurate but heavy and battery terminals weak Pros:
- Accurate
- Used as calibrated reference in our lab
Cons
- Relatively heavy. Best for table use, uncomfortable for field use
- Conventional batteries (not rechargeable)
- Need to separately purchase cable and software to export data
- Battery terminal tabs snapped off

Rated 5 out of 5 by macxcrm114 from A meter with most everything in one unit. I am really happy with this meter. I needed a meter with a very fast response time to test if PLC circuits were actually dropping to zero during transitions. I need the LoZ function to make sure the voltage is real. I regularly use the large display to show max/min/average in real time, or voltage and frequency, all at the same time. I can’t stress enough how nice it is to have a meter with more than one display line. I often use the AC & DC simultaneous display, which is very helpful for probing circuits when the voltage type is unknown or changing. I can trust the accuracy and safety. The Lo-ohms feature is a bonus to get very accurate and relative readings. For so many features it’s very easy to use and navigate; the menu system is intuitive and the whole meter is well thought out.
The only disappointments are the physical quality control. The USB interface doesn’t fit right and pops off when any movement or bump occurs (Fluke has sent a replacement which has the same problem.) The Bluetooth device fits securely so I dont think the issue is the meter itself, but the FVF cable. The kickstand isn’t molded quite right and doesn’t stay closed. Just a nitpick, but the serial # sticker is illegible and put on crooked. But, the unit works, the screen is clean, it does more than most anyone else’s meter I’ve come across, and does it well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Divide_By_Zero from Mostly very good, but diode test is dangerous I really like the datalogging and min/max/avg functions, but the diode test function can destroy sensitive low voltage LEDs and GaAs detector diodes. Yes, 5.36V of reverse bias can and will do this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Micky from Excellent meter I had this meter for over a year. All I seen here on the review is people putting this meter down. There is nothing at all wrong with this meter. In fact this meter is the best I ever used and is spot on with its readings, also fast. So all I can say to the people on here, is you should learn how to use a multimeter, maybe you should buy a more basic model if this is to advance for you. I do lots of electronics and power supply repairs, and this meter is top and a full 10 out of 10 for everything. Also people putting the kick stand down? There nothing wrong with it. Also about dropping it and not being robust? Who in their right mind would want to drop an expensive meter like this? Fluke you don’t an amazing job and made a fantastic meter. Good work.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Earl1 from Excellent Troubleshooting Tool Anyone who works in electronics can appreciate a tool that can babysit a device, power supply or line voltages. This meter is the ultimate. It has one of the fastest continuity modes available- very important for quick checking connector issues. I traded my Fluke 8846A bench meter for this one due to measurement speed issues-trading a couple digits of resolution for a more portable faster meter. The trend plots allow you to set the meter up and capture very fast intermittants leaving no doubt as to a component reliability.
The display could be redesigned with slightly larger fonts but I have poorer vision. The boot up time of 2 seconds does not bother me as this has a fairly sophisticated processor on board. Would be nice if Fluke included a cable and software for the price of the stand alone kit.
Great meter, would buy again.
