+1 for the Q10 color scheme for the reason you state (but it’s nice to have choices :)).

One other difference is that prominently printed below the display and above the four buttons the Q10 says “AUTO POWER OFF” and the SZ18 says “Digital Multimeter” and “TRUE RMS”.  I guess it depends on which of those you would find to be most useful in case either you were not aware, or you forgot and needed a reminder.  Always interesting to see how the product and marketing teams choose to use the available labeling space. :)

Gotta show some respect - this is a pretty good summary video.  Not super technical with precision measurement testing but pretty good as an intro.

If people can figure out how to design, build, and sell a DMM with these capabilities in this price range it’s reasonably likely they can figure out the marketing too (or already have).

So you have a large prototype boards, lots of testpoints, and you are supposed to verify that all the resistors are good on it. There was an excel sheet, with the testpoints listed on it, and I've just used a Keysight 1242 with it's bluetooth connected to the laptop, and connected to excel. So I read the testpoints to be a measured, found them on the board, placed the probes, touch-hold, and it beep-booped the data into excel. Quite convenient, the test was done in minutes, instead of writing anything down by hand.
And this required an enormous amount of software work on their side, including makros for excel. And this is something that a chinese company will not understand why you would need it. They just place bluetooth, because other have it, and completely won't do the research on how you actually use it.

I got inspired and next version of TestController https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/program-that-can-log-from-many-multimeters/ will support this functionality with any connected multimeter.

Here is the calibration of my AN8009:

Done in a cal lab with traceable equipment (5500A,5700A,5790A,3458A,...)

I like it so much than 15.99 USD

It is a good introductory video and I have seen this done for some other meters as well.

They know how to design and build DMMs, they just need to keep fixing the various kinks (which are improving little by little over time) and wether stop lying about the CAT ratings or learn to design a better input protection. I just opened my RM219 (AN870) and they have no shame in claiming so much CAT IV energy on a puny single PTC.
