David L. Jones said:The 19 appeared to be a fantastic value-for-money meter when they
introduced it for the asia-pacific region many years back, it was not
sold anywhere else that I am aware of, it was a trial to see if a
cheap Chinese made Fluke would sell.
Every single unit I have used (at least a dozen of them) have died
either partially or completely. Horror stories abound, the failure
rate was massive, I'm surprised there are any left that are still 100%
functional. It also had a common bug/fault that drained the batteries
flat in no time.
It didn't last on the market very long, and was replaced by the 110
series.

Well there you go. I was unaware they were so unreliable as I've never had
an ounce of trouble (besides battery usage). The worst Fluke meters I've
ever had were the 11 & 12.
