Are you sure it dosen”t have a backlight as according to this product description it does
“This Meter can measure AC/DC Voltage and Current, Resistance, Diode, Continuity Buzzer, Capacitance, Frequency, Temperature(℃or ℉). In addition to the conventional measuring functions, there is a RS232C or USB standard serial port, data hold, relative mode, peak measurement, low battery display, display back light and sleep mode.”
I am looking to buy a UNI-T UT61E but if it does not have a backlight I might give this model a miss.
guys over at EEV blog forums have a spreadsheet for multimeters, quite a range with various price points:
MILSPEC, thank you Very Much for a Great resource. 
Best Regards,

You are more than welcome. Technically we should all be a part of the EEV blog forums, they have relevant and useful information regarding home electronics, pcbs, soldering/reflowing, tools, equipment, electronic labs on a budget (ie last nights’ video!) and so on! As you can see they are very professional and quantitative to all these things.
It is a very good forum for flashlight enthusiasts because our interests/hobbies match.
Same with prepper forums, ham radio, RC/fpv, outdoor/EDC, garage forums, DIY (led lights), MTB forums, etc
Time for a new meter. I decided to buy one of these
Dr Meter PM18
After doing a lot of reading it seemed like a good choice for the $24 I’m paying. Both 20 A and mA inputs are fuse protected
It is also sold under the PeakMeter name and others with the same PM18 model number.
I found out this meter was coming out this year with massive improvements over previous yeas and I got lucky. You can check anywhere and normal retail is $135.00. I saw one on eBay for 50 bucks and thought it was a fake or stolen but I took a chance. They are 100 percent legit even called and checked with Southwire and registered my warranty. He now has 2 left for less than I paid.

I’m using this dmm, bought it because the strore near me has a good deal for it
About 50$
It works fine for me, has everything i need, except low current measure and temp measure
I’m using this one, it is good too ($22):
Digital Multimeter 6000 Counts AC/DC Ammeter Voltmeter Temperature Meter AN860B+

I think uni-t makes the best budget multimeters, while fluke makes the best high end multimeters.
Here is a link of best measurement instrament’s
Just look and find best and budget model i use this brand its good:
You beat me to it. It seems Sinometer is manufacturing meters sold under a number of brands. I was looking through them yesterday.
Scroll down to the last post here
I used this to test voltage of EU plug socket. But I mistakenly placed cable to AMP section. And there was no fuse inside 
Then guess what happened 
Multimeter’s PCB partly fried and a very big flame appeared while it is in my hand but fortunately there was Residual-current device and it saved my life (I think). RCD cut electricity in just milliseconds and that prevented fire.
When I open its inside I saw this:
I know that in USA, many house does not have Residual current device. Please buy a quality one it will save your life!
And do not forget to test RCD monthly!
How can i guess you order this brand in another forum
did you thought i can read your mind.
@hamedshh Quote was from another forum but not mine. I just thought it worth posting and when I had a chance to do so I saw you had already posted a link to the site I was planning to post.
Assuming you’re not very familiar with Dave Jones’ site (EEVBLOG), some more EEVBLOG content in addition to MILSPEC’s link:
To get an idea of what to look for:
EEVblog #75 - Digital Multimeter Buying Guide for Beginners
Dave recently did a video covering some more things you may be interested in:
EEVblog #954 - How To Setup An Electronics Lab For $300
He “recommends” these two:
UNI-T UT135B
NKTECH NK51E
and after him saying that you have to ignore safety and build quality at this price, you should watch these videos too:
EEVblog #6 - Part 2 of 2 - Why cheap multimeters suck
EEVblog #712 - Uni-T UT71E Multimeter (Why Uni-T Meters Suck)
Then, one day, when you are up for a ~ US$100 meter: As sold and covered by Dave, the Brymen BM235 - we bought a bunch of them at work.
Shop around for a local supplier!
He is also working on a new multimeter: New EEVBlog-Branded Multimeter Coming? - Page 6
Just picked up the Harbor Freight CEN-TECH 61593 with a tilt up led display a few days ago for 24.00 and change. I have a GREENLEE 93-606 and a FIELDPIECE SC76 and the CEN-TECH seems good so far. Time will tell with cheaper meters, sometimes they work great or there just crap
I'm an electrical engineer and I use a Uni-T UT61E at home (Fluke at work). It's a fantastic low-cost but not crappy meter for electronics hobbyists, and available for <$50. If you're working with mains, I would get a Fluke. Otherwise, the UT61E is fantastic. I would pass on all those really cheap $10 meters, really not worth the worry if the reading is accurate or not, or if it will blow up in your hands :)
The probes which come with the Uni-T are.. OK. But if you want a real upgrade, spend about $20 and get a good pair of Fluke leads and it really transforms the experience :)
I’ve been a little confused about its 22,000 count capability. Does it mean that for example when measuring voltage, if you’re under 22V, it’ll display 3 decimal places and then switch to 2 decimal places once you go above 22V?
That sounds like it could be a good one. Thanks for the link - I’ll be paying attention when it comes out.
