Mid-Level ($1,500-$2,500) PAT Testers

Mid-level portable appliance testers offer faster workflows, greater automation, and a better user experience in commercial testing environments. This price range is ideal for technicians who test regularly and need more efficiency than entry-level models can provide.

These testers reduce manual steps and deliver more consistent results, making them the best choice for most test & tag businesses.

The Best Balance of Speed, Automation and Value

Mid-level PAT testers are the most popular category for commercial test & tag operations. Priced between $1,500 and $2,500, they strike the perfect balance between affordability and feature depth.

  • Automated or guided test sequences
  • Faster workflows and quick retest options
  • Expanded test capabilities (insulation, leakage, polarity, portable RCDs)
  • Optional barcode scanning or printer compatibility
  • Better screens and user interfaces
