I've been a big advocate of my AM-270 around this forum. You might have seen me once or twice recommending one...and that's because I think they are excellent DMMs for the price. They are a Brymen design but it is an excellent design, well built, and with the Amprobe name, you are pretty much guaranteed that your particular DMM is the best it can be and of course good service.
Lots going for it. I do like some of the other Amprobe DMMs also.
Don't be afraid to look at a few Uni-Ts. The 61E is a good one.
You can also get used Flukes and Agilents on eBay for relatively cheap. Or new ones.
If you just started, I wouldn't go rush out to buy an 87V or 189 or anything quite yet, unless you are certain you want to make this a serious commitment.
