That place is a 30 minute drive from me where I do a lot of my grocery shopping (everything is far from where I am).   But it serves to illustrate the pricing.  And that's Canadian funny money too.  More like $35US or 30GBP.

But if you want that odd-ball shaped Owon .. go for it.  Like I said, it seems the OP already has a modern handheld meter and just wanted something for the bench.  Auto ranging is for woosies that can't push a single button.  It's not a deal breaker for me anyway.

Why not get a bench meter then? There are many models out there. My personal favourite is the Vici VC8145 but Uni-t and others also make 4.5 digit bench meter that are very affordable. The added bonus is that these meter can also be stacked on top of other equipment.

2 things.

1)  That price does not include VAT.  The Royal Mail (or whoever does your customs) will catch that and charge the 20% + any duties + processing fees + + +.

2) Warranty?  Good luck with that.

Have a couple bench top multimeters.  Flukes and HP.   Just curious in having an extern power for handhelds on the bench.  Most of my work is low voltage embedded systems, so not too concerned.

Not a problem as its down to the company i purchased it from ,a well established name  in the uk ,who are part of a larger global company,to deal with warranty claims,not the manufacturer.
