Has anyone tried or used one of these:

It seems remarkably cheap compared to many of the multi function meters.

It's not that cheap actually, pretty much most of the manufacturers do
a multifunction tester for well under 500GBP.

ok, well cheap compared to the likes of the Robin multi function boxes,
or a pile of separate testers.

Oh, better still ;-)

I was toying with the idea of "upgrading" my collection of standalone
Megger testers to a combined device, since some of my current ones have
some limitations (the continuity/insulation resistance tester only does
low ohms to 0.1 ohm resolution, the RCD tester does not have a ramp test
or the timer duration for testing time delayed RCDs, and the loop tester
does not have a non RCD tripping mode, or ability to read PSC/PFC
directly).

This one intrigues me:

What does the 17th edition introduce that will require tests not
currently supported on existing kit?
