Price: $+
Pros: Quite cheap and can measure most ranges, including temperature
Cons: Manual ranging, not recommended for high voltage work, not much input protection
Bottom Line: An okay multimeter for knocking around with, but there are better units available that can do more

Price: $
Pros: Measures most things, including amps, micro-amps and capacitance, useful jack input warning
Cons: Not equipped for high voltage, lack of input protection, Chinese-made
Bottom Line: Good starter meter for lower energy work, decent feature-set and affordable

Price: $+
Pros: Great range of features, pretty accurate and rugged
Cons: Slow auto range, capacitance could be better, made in China
Bottom Line: Measures what most multimeters don’t and is fairly reliable and accurate – a steal for the money
