I would like to ask which of these you would prefer or recommend for a budget bench DMM. Thanks very much. I'd appreciate any insight.

These seem pretty much equal from a functional point of view. I'd buy the cheapest one. I have a couple of VC8145s myself and they still work great after several years.

Thanks. I see quite a bit of info on the VC8145 on the web, but almost nothing on the Victor 8245. Not even photos, other than the one full-frontal on Amazon.

I was looking for a budget bench MM recently and landed on the VC8145 because of the good value on it. I had a budget for around 150$ and all others had similar specs with higher price and it was not that far from a real brand meter. So what I really did was choose between the VC8145 and a known brand meter. And for my purposes I don't need a known brand.

The Victor web site only shows 220V power compatibility for the Victor 8245

I'm also considering buying VC8245, due to it's "nostalgic" VFD display, but found absolutely no mentioning from real users online, dunno why...

VC8215 is good.
But the Victor is a clear duplicate of the HP 34410a design.
Here is a video of 8426A
Seems quite good but the price is much more than the 8125.
