Actually, I see that the Aldi meter does show the power factor -
0.99 in this case.

OK, the one that someone linked to a week or so ago did not have any
mention of it in the write up - and there was nothing obvious on the
display of the unit pictured. If it does adjust for the PF then it
should give you more accurate readings.
