Get one of these instead:  :)

I would dispute the claim of Brymen meters being "cheap". I would describe them as "less expensive".

Yes, but GP seemed to be saying that if none of his expensive Flukes could do it then they must not exist.

"Cheap" is a relative term. Brymens are definitely cheap compared to Flukes.

The Metrawatt M248B (rebranded Prime) is 0.02%.   About $900.   Download the manual for details.  The meter has a lot of issues that I doubt were ever addressed and if you're in the USA, good luck dealing with them.

If I need that accuracy, I am using my bench meters.

Comparing small differences in basic specs between different brands without getting into all the details and conditions is not all that helpful, or at least not very precise.  However, I did notice that your BM859S seems to have significantly better DC specs (look at the higher ranges) than the BM869S.   Hmmmm.

CosteC:
I am puzzled by whole this discussion focusing purely on DCV accuracy. Simplest of all. Long time ago I needed to measure AC current of 400 A 50 Hz with better than 0.5% accuracy. Seems not a lot, but I am pretty sure none of instruments above cannot do it, despite 0.02% "astonishing" accuracy...

What I wanted to say: DCV accuracy is not all that matters.  >:D

True. While for good meters usually the more accurate meters have improved accuracy across the board, you should always check the specification for the specific functions, ranges and in the case of AC frequency that are important for you rather than relying on banner basic accuracy specs.
