No MELFs? :(
(in fact, where the hell are the input protection resistors? I don't see them...)

I'm planning to buy UT61E+ within few days. If you are going to review this multimeter, I am going to wait a little longer and decide if I should buy it after the video :-+

Just shot it.
TLDR; It's a decent enough upgrade, but not for the 40-50% extra cost over the existing model, there are likely better options. The 20,000 count ANENG 870 is less than half the cost (although I have not looked at that).

The Aneng measures everything really well but it has cheap-ass glass fuses in it.
It all comes down to the old "safety" debate, ie. How likely are you to poke at an arc-flash hazard with the leads in the current sockets? Will it ever be in the hands of the sort of person who tries to measure how many amps a mains socket has? Would the Uni-T be safer in those situations or should you only trust things with UL markings?
(Would measuring mains amps with a glass fuse even be dangerous or would it simply blow with no problem? How much of the safety debate is FUD on a hobby workbench with Arduinos and 12V power supplies? Is basic education worth more than the safest meter in the world?)
At least the Aneng's fuses are standard size and could be replaced with ceramic equivalents for 50 cents.
