These are the models I could get in a break..
We got Fluke 115, 117, 175, 179, 87V, 187 and 289.
The 115/117 are nice little ones which we use for tests with no special requirements - They got 1% basic accuracy.
The 175/179 got the advantage of having max 1000V input voltage and they´re cheaper than 87V.
187 and 289 we use for AC-measurements beyond 20khz (the limit of the 87) - And the 289 got a remarkable advantage against other flukes:
It could measure capacities up to 40mF (40000µF).
The 87V is our mostly used one, we got over 20pcs, it´s accuracy and bandwith are sufficent enough for nearly 95% of all our requirements.
The brymen I took to work to show the size, it´s a little bit bigger than fluke 87V.
Together with probemaster testleads I´m totally confident with this meter.

It just shows how much choice there is out there and how many good brands are around. I guess I should have included "making coffee" in my criteria as that might be the most important thing :P

What makes things so difficult is if you don't use these tools everyday or are not familiar with different models and brands to know how each handles then it's very much like picking a number of out of a hat. It becomes a lottery, and you don't know what you're going to get in terms of if you will like it or not as everyone's use case, criteria (which has already been pointed out) and style is different.

I haven't even seen a Hioki in real life but with what I read I think they are very nice meters.
unknownparticle:
I have the DT4256 from Hioki, it was my toe in the water test for the brand!  It is right there with Fluke on build quality with better features for the price and really nice to use.  I will be going for one of the top of the range models sometime soon, based on my experience of the 4256.
For me, the fact that it is made in Japan has weight, they don't skimp on component quality.

I actually short listed down to these two - one for practical use and the other for more high performance use:


* DT4223
* DT4282

In my place of the world the DT4223 has a ~50 euro price difference from the DT4252/DT4256 so I would prefer one of these instead -if you have your mind set on Hioki. IMO of course.
DT4282 looks pretty nice too if you need the higher count and extra features.
