Quoted from Jazman:Might be overkill for you, but worth every penny... $125

That Bremen BM235 is what I would buy if I needed a great meter. My $10 Greenlee is good enough.
Ask people who use meters a lot what features they find most useful. I think auto-ranging, a backlight, and an integrated stand are all features I would use in a DMM.
Quoted from maffewl:This (Greenlee DM-20) is what I have had for almost a decade now. It's been all I have ever needed for pinball or home improvements (or really any other electrical need I've had). The only gripe that I have with it is that it doesn't read current. However, I purchased it at a big box retailer and it came with a voltage pen tester, and plug tester, and carry pouch. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I also have the Greenlee DM-20. It does read DC current. If I were to upgrade, the features I would look for are changeable leads, a backlight, and auto-ranging. I've never tested its accuracy.
