A good oldfashioned meter with a needle is prolly better to work with,

they will detect a .1 volt change, or check your battery to within about
a microvolt, but they can cause unnecessary alarm and despondency.

They're really made for electronics use where a high input impedance is
near essential.

There could easily be a case made for selling a much lower impedance
device for mains work.
