....

It's a nice meter and doesn't have the missing current ranges like the AN8008 does.  But, it doesn't have the ANENG's nice small size.  It will be useful for some tasks.

Larger fuses but looks like the same basic problem with the input.  I would be more concerned with mA fuse arch to return.  In your picture, it looks like the input it directly tied to common.   :-DD

No argument there. The $20 multimeter market is on fire right now (figuratively).

The Ragu  does look a slightly better bet than the 860B+ for the sort of people who want to poke at household mains. $15 more will get you a Fluke 101 though*, so...  :-//

I only see USA/UK sellers selling them so shipping costs will double the price. I don't think I could get one for under $27.

Plus I really don't think I need another meter right now.

(*) $27+$15 = a Fluke 101 delivered to your door.

I forgot to mention, the Ragu 17B+ display is 6200 count in the voltage, current and resistance modes.  In the capacitance mode it is 10000 count as shown by  a 9.982 nF reading that I obtained.

Exactly the same as the AN8002/AN860B+

Everything screams DTM0660/DM1106EN chipset except one detail - the HF performance on AC volts. On every DTM0660/DM1106EN meter I've tested so far, the -3dB point is 3kHz. But this one is only 1dB down at 2.6kHz?

The Ragu sauce/measure unit is now up to $14.99 at amazon this morning.
