There's more than a few of these Variacs (by different names) around, but this was the only one I found that had the digital volt meter. The unit works very well... just as a variac should. The digital volt meter is very accurate from 0-50v and above that it's +/- about 2 volts (as per my Fluke 87 DMM).For this price the value is great, I've had variacs before and this one is on par with ones costing much more.
