The CAT rating is a safety specification, not a quality grade · review
A compact meter whose distinguishing specification is its protection: a double ceramic fuse stated as flame-retardant, plus a silicone sleeve, at fourteen euros.
The bottom line The fusing is the reason to pick this over its neighbours. It is also the only meter here that mentions its fuse at all.
Fourteen euros, and the only listing in this hub that talks about the fuse.
Accurate measurement of AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance and diodes. A sampling rate of two measurements per second and a 0.6-inch backlit LCD. A data-hold function, a low-battery indicator and an audible continuity tester. A double ceramic fuse, stated as flame-retardant and protecting against overload, and a silicone sleeve protecting the meter.
Ask what fails dangerously in a multimeter and the answer is the current input. Put the probes across a live supply with the meter set to amps, and the only thing between you and a short circuit is the fuse. Ceramic, sand-filled fuses are specified for that job; glass ones are not. This is the only listing among five meters here that names the type.
No measurement category, no true-RMS, no AC current. The first is a safety specification and its absence is the pattern of this whole hub; the other two are capability limits that put this meter firmly in the household and hobby band.

The fuse in a meter's current input is a safety component. A ceramic sand-filled body is specified where the meter must interrupt a high-energy fault; a glass fuse of the same current rating does not do the same job. AstroAI states double ceramic fusing, which most meters at this price do not mention at all.
The listing does not state one. Follow the manual supplied with the meter, and treat the absence of a published category as a reason to keep it away from anything beyond a socket outlet.
The display updates twice a second. On a changing signal that is slow, and it is the normal rate at this price.
True RMS · 6000 counts · 600 V · temperature, capacitance and frequency
A true-RMS meter with 6000-count resolution and the widest function list here — voltage, current, resistance, temperature, diode, continuity, capacitance and frequency — with probe caps included.
Best for: Household and light installation work where waveforms are not clean and the reading has to be right.
≈ £35 / 32 €
CAT III stated · 600 V AC/DC · 10 A · 20 MΩ · auto power-off
The only multimeter in this hub whose listing states a measurement category. It also gives its ranges plainly: 600 V AC and DC, 10 A, 20 MΩ.
Best for: Household and installation fault-finding where knowing the category matters more than the feature list.
≈ $25 / £20 / 21 €
True RMS auto-ranging · 6000 counts · lit input jacks · NCV with alarm
A true-RMS auto-ranging meter that lights the correct input socket in green for the function selected — the one design idea in this hub aimed squarely at the mistake that damages meters.
Best for: Beginners and shared toolboxes, where the lit jacks stop the mistake that kills meters.
≈ $38 / £27 / 37 €
