HB9EVI:
I don't fully agree with that; when I started into electronics, I was 10, maybe with around 12 I bought a 2000 count Escort DMM - which is still working; it costed a lot of bucks for a preteen, but it payed off; I used it over a long time range and never had any issues with;
So even for a beginner it can pay of to take some $$$ in hands and buy a decent device and not just a 5$ cheapie from ali

Maybe you should look at this meter, it has it all plus some extra great functions like bluetooth, logging and USB.

Almost every beginner who gets a scope wants to "look at the mains waveform" as the first thing out of the box. Don't ask me why. I assume when they get a meter that's the first thing they do, they jam the leads into the wall.
HB9EVI:
Well, I hope that's not really true; we don't have here so many cases of mains-fried scopes, so it at least seems, the people are clever enough to not blindly plug the probe in the outlet

For that price you can get a Fluke 101.
