Default Question about buying a multimeter

:

I own several of the cheap HF ones. Far as I can tell, they
work just fine. They go high enough voltage to do AC line
current. And enough DC amps to test flash lights. Works for
me.


first one I bought read a 1.5v battery at 1.8V,very inaccurate.
the 2nd tested better.

plus,they are only 1 Megohm input impedance;most DMMs are 10 Megohm,less
circuit loading.
