Not everything is cheaper on AliExpress. Sometimes eBay listings have much better prices (and more vendors to choose from), other times not so much. It's always good to shop around.

I looked at  the AN860B and it looks like a nice meter for the money. I already have a great bench meter and 3 regular-sized (Fluke 177) meters, I bought the AN8008 because it is small - I want to be able to have an accurate meter for low voltage/power tests while I'm travelling without the worry that someone might steal, or I might break, a $500 piece of test gear.  The AN8008 is smaller than an iPhone 7+ (except for thickness).  Going all the way down to a true pocket meter removes the 'real' meter feel and my eyes are getting old too.

Fortunately, they make them with larger displays than some older models (e.g. DT830):



Of course, Aneng also has a large display and more functionality.

Even Victor has a large enough display:


Of course, this is all relative. I guess that most high end meters all have a large display to show all the parameters.

I bought mine from this eBay seller:-

It took 11 days to arrive in the UK. Cost was £14.89

Buyers Beware
I bought my AN8008 from easydeal88 on Amazon - they sent me a 'gift', some kind of 5 cent plastic bag that covers remote controls, and that arrived late July.  After I complained and asked for my money back, they sent me the actual item.  I ordered July 15th, the AN8008 arrived Aug 5th.

Amazon don't make it clear that the item ships from China and I feel conned because I paid more than it was listed for on eBay because I thought I'd get better service - I was VERY wrong.  I would probably buy from eBay if I bought another one.

All that said, the AN8008 that I eventually received seems like it is a keeper.
