I use the HF meters because they're free with coupon. Of the five I tested, they were accurate to 1/10th volt. I used my certified Fluke DVM to test them!
My first good meter was a Simpson 260. When it finally quit, I bought a Fluke. It has lasted for years without issues. I also tried Extech for throw around field use for 10 people. None of them lasted a year. Fluke 100 series got that job after that. Eight years later, none have broken. Oscilloscopes are just as rugged but seldom see field use where I worked.
Btw, I bought a NIB Fluke 110 at a pawn shop for $36. They had several. You might check there also.
