This is a fantastic and rugged measurement tool. People sometimes complain about the "ghosting" of the display, but fail to recognize the important role the font plays in mitigating the difficulty in reading fast changing values in real-time. "Ghosting" can greatly hinder perception in a 7-segment display, but its important to remember that the reason is due to the large percentage of shared segments between most numbers in a 7-segment display. The font used in the 287/289 DMMs gives each number a very unique shape which can be read very easily even during rapid changes. The only downside to this meter are the tiny detents used to secure the stand in place. These detents wear relatively quickly and the stand deploys randomly from time to time which can make it a little difficult to maneuver it in and out of snug cases. It is ultimately a marvelous tool.

Great meter - last meter you will buy!
An excellent meter, with a wealth of features. For me, the key feature was the low level of current that can be measured - essential when testing battery powered devices.
No disappointments in terms of the quality from Fluke - I'm quite sure this will be the last multimeter I buy for a long, long while!

Fluke 287 with Flukeview forms
I have use fluke DMM for years in college, high school, and for professional and personal use (hobbyist).
I bought the Fluke 287 for two reasons: Robust functions and data logging. I am a Arduino hobbyist. I use the meter to read voltages for PWM, detect relay switching, measure current in micro-amp range and troubleshooting a project.
I also use the DMM for learning. Currently, I am studying (self-study) circuit analysis operational amplifiers. The 287 make is easy to verify calculations and lab results.
Also, Flukeview Forms allow for exporting of .csv file for charting in excel.
I really like the Fluke 287.

The last meter you will buy
I bought my 287 back in 2008. It has every feature I need and then some. I love the logging capabilities, being in the refrigeration field I use the temp logging and graphing quite a bit. Several months ago the meter stopped working. I loved it so much I shipped it to fluke for repair expecting a high repair bill. I was happy to know the repair was free of charge due to the LIFETIME WARRANTY on the 287.

Great meter and espically useful is the frequency measurement when working with wind and soil moisture probes. However the ir3000 FC is a grave disapointment. Requiring a login and internet connection makes it completely worthless to me.

I love all of my fluke meters... I will have to admit I don't use this meter anywhere close to its limits... But I do use the recording feature often... I can find pesky fading voltages that usually check fine.

Great Fetures and great useability
This meter has been perfect for troubleshooting sensor glitches on the production line. This meter is designed perfectly for trouble shooting and can help reduce wastefully changing good parts on the lines. I should of gotten this meter sooner.

I use this daily on the Pipeline ROW. It has so far taken what I can throw at it and keep on going. The large screen and easy to manipulate controls as well as the intuitive menu allows me to perform my job efficiently.
