I've said countless times for people not to just blindly buy my branded meters.
Heck, I've done entire videos devoted to this.
The problem is how to categorise them. Do you do it by price bracket?, counts?, accuracy?, target market?, safety?
The answer is all of the above. You could literally have half a dozen different "best multimeter" shootouts and get a different answer every time.

IMO, you're overthinking it. The most important metric, "daves". I personally enjoyed watching you having fun ranting on them all. Go get em!

The Crenova and Etekcity models may look like bargains, but experienced experts will tell you to always go with genuine Kaiweets.

Doesn't quite work like that if you are talking about a shootout. You HAVE to have some sort of commonality to compare them and declare a "winner", otherwise what's the point of shootout? You might as well just do individual reviews in that case.
My last handheld multimeter shootout was 12 years ago and that was based on price bracket.
I did a pocket meter shootout, and that was based on what I deemed to be a "pocket" meter.
Seriously, how do you compare a $20 ANENG to a $500 Fluke?

The point of the shootout is entertainment and "daves" is the common metric. Being serious isn't a factor.
Rather than trying to find a winner, pick the worse meters out their and find the worse. :-DD
