I've got one of those. I don't like it much - horrible UI and it's impossible to read the text on the buttons without special light.
There's no way in hell I'd trade one for my Big Clive meter.
It also feels nasty and smells bad. The nasty chemical smell from the rubber gets on your hands after a millisecond of handling and you need to wash them afterwards to make it go away.
Edit:
FWIW here's the insides. The big 'chip' is a relay:
Now I'm off to wash my hands.
PS: Free to good home...

Is it a preferred option for your handheld meter to have the board to chassis screw 0.5 -1.0MM (or less, depending on day of the week) from the 600V terminal? I could see how it might be particularly interesting when the screw is long enough that the point of it would reside within 1 or 2 MM from the outside of the unit where you would be presumably be putting an appendage at some point in time. The arc capability of 600V would probably be less then 1.0 MM, quite unimpressive, however it could cause sporadic pontification while in use, which might be of interest.

Is that less than the insulation on a Fluke probe cable?

Uni-T UT60B is 5.59$ on Aliexpress : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003573433243.html
Bluetooth, temperature measurement (and temperature probe) ... would be interesting to see a review/teardown
There's a Uni-T branded DT-830B meter for almost 8$ ... makes me laugh : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001203098253.html
But would be interesting to see if it's actually made by Uni-T and if so, what you get for 8$

Look closer, that's just a clickbait price for just the meter case. The meter itself is 32 Euros
