Opinion on a BSIDE ZT302 multimeter

It detailed measurements and the photos show quite a big meter so I'm inclined to believe them. This meter is NOT as small as an AN8008.
Lightages:
Just remember that none of the meters being discussed here actually can meet their claimed CAT ratings. Use them only on the bench.

I've stated already that in my first post - "for bench work only with low power circuit testing only (hobby stuff)".

Yeah, it seem's to be the bigger brothers of the AN800X, that could be a good thing, pearhps bigger fuses (or not)...
Here is another link to youtube gearbest apresentation of ZT301/ZT302, we can see how big they are:

Don't expect large HRC fuses like a Fluke but maybe it has normal size fuses instead of the tiny/miniature fuses of the AN8008 sized meters (good luck finding replacements for those...)
My AN860B+ certainly has normal size fuses.

Well I'm going to order a multimeter next week, and the best price I've found in the web for the BSIDE ZT301 is $17.60. For this price is worth the gamble or is there better for the same money or a couple a dollars more? (Remember, I wan't this for bench work with low power circuits - a plus is having pc logging capabilities, although I don't need to use it in a near future, but planning to on the long run)
edit--
Pc logging is not a requisite, this would be my first "bench" multimeter (not counting the "battery meter one"), when pc logging would be needed, a second multimeter would be needed too, so this feature can go to the second one.
