I am impressed with the Fluke 101.

The 101 can measure current, just not directly.

Look closely at the photo I posted above. There's a little 0.1 Ohm, 1% resistor in the case next to the red probe.

How often you measure current with a DMM? I don't think current measurement is important for low end meters. It also prevent blowing fuse or even worse if someone try to measure voltage while the probe is in the current jack.

Me? Very often.

I work on small electronics and need to know power consumption, how hard the LEDs are being driven, etc.

It depends on your job though. 10A is nothing to electricians / automotive people so a DMM won't even measure it.

I like my Fluke 101 - it is cheap so I never worry about it. Yet it always measures what I need it to measure. I also gave one to my dad who isn't an electronics guy. Now if he measures a battery or the voltage from the dryer outlet I know he won't hurt himself or the meter. No current is exactly what is needed on a low cost meter like this, no chance of connecting things wrong.

edavid:
If you do need current ranges, the FLIR DM64 (Brymen BM235) is a solid option at $50, but it's quite a bit larger than the Fluke 101.
