I'm a Fluke man. I have a 87 and a 289 but the 87 is hard to beat. Fluke now has a lifetime warranty on their meters if it is still being made. It has to be the same model. I had an old 87 the quit on me but it was the first gen and no longer made so it went in the trash.
I guess if your not measuring anything over 30 volts an el cheapo will do but being we measure mostly from 0-480 AC & 0-800DC at work, I wouldn't trust my life on anything but Fluke.
