The best multimeters, compared.
Top pick: VENLAB VM-600M – The listing states True RMS and CAT III 600 V, with a 20 A AC/DC line and 4.7 from 623 reviews at about £26.99. Best value: TESMEN TM-510 – About £16.99 with 4.6 from 13,668 reviews and CAT II 600 V stated, and current is not in the bullets. Updated October 2026.
A handheld multimeter measures voltage, resistance, continuity and, on some models, current. The usual jobs are batteries, fuses and simple DC circuits, or a mains check inside the printed category. Read the mark and its voltage, then if the wave is not a sine, then the counts, the current jack and the leads. The [buying guide](/hub/measuring-equipment/multimeter/sub/multimeter-buying-guide) sets those choices before a model name. The [true RMS multimeter guide](/hub/measuring-equipment/multimeter/sub/multimeter-true-rms) covers that waveform choice on its own. HSE guidance note says a test lamp or two-pole detector, not a multimeter, decides whether a low-voltage circuit is live or dead. These scores compare stored listings and public UK sources.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What do you need the listing to state?
The VENLAB VM-600M is £26.99 on amazon.co.uk, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 623 reviews, the highest star line in this set. Of the first 50 stored reviews, 41 are marked United Kingdom. The title states TRMS, 6000 counts and manual range. Bullets state up to 750 V AC, 1000 V DC and 20 A AC/DC, plus capacitance, frequency, continuity, diode and hFE. Attributes list CAT III 600V, CE and RoHS. It has NCV, a hanging magnet, a stand, a silicone cover and double fuses. Temperature measurement is not in the function bullets. UK buyers praise the display and build and describe it as quite big. One buyer said voltage detection missed 5 V and 12 V. It is the top pick in this set because the listing states both True RMS and CAT III 600 V, with a 20 A AC/DC line and the highest star score. That is a listing comparison, not a laboratory test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A DIY or hobby meter when you want True RMS, a stated CAT III 600 V line and a 20 A AC/DC claim on the same listing.
Less suitable: Buyers who want auto-range, a compact body, or a temperature function in the bullets. It does not prove a circuit dead.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the VENLAB VM-600M state True RMS and a CAT rating?
The title states TRMS and 6000 counts with manual range. Attributes list CAT III 600V, CE and RoHS. Bullets also state up to 750 V AC, 1000 V DC and 20 A AC/DC, plus double fuses.
Does it measure temperature?
Temperature measurement is not in the function bullets. An upper temperature rating attribute of 100 °C is printed, which is not the same as a temperature probe function.
How do UK reviews describe the size?
Of the first 50 stored reviews, 41 are marked United Kingdom. Buyers praise the display and a sturdy case and call it quite big. One buyer said voltage detection did not pick up 5 V or 12 V. The listing is 4.7 from 623 at £26.99.
The TESMEN TM-510 is £16.99 on amazon.co.uk, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 13,668 reviews, the largest review count in this set. It is a 4000-count smart meter for AC and DC voltage, resistance and continuity, with NCV, a silicone cover and a storage bag. The listing states CAT II 600V, CE and RoHS. Current, capacitance, temperature and True RMS are not listed. UK buyers praise the smart switch between mains and a small battery, and several call the price a bargain. One UK review says the live detector will not find buried wires, and one title says the nodes were defective on arrival. It is the best value here because the shelf price is £16.99, the star line is large, and a CAT voltage is printed, with the limit that amps are not in the bullets. That is a listing comparison, not a laboratory test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Occasional voltage, resistance and continuity checks when you want a stated CAT II 600 V line and a low shelf price.
Less suitable: Any job that needs a stated current range, True RMS, or a CAT III line. NCV silence is not a dead-circuit proof.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the TESMEN TM-510 measure current?
Current measurement is not listed in the bullets. Smart auto mode is stated for AC and DC voltage, resistance and continuity, plus non-contact voltage. Do not expect an amp jack from this listing.
What CAT line does the listing print?
It states CAT II 600V, CE and RoHS, and the maximum operating voltage attribute is 600 V. True RMS is not stated. CAT II is the socket and plug-in appliance category in the Martindale explainer, not the distribution board.
Are batteries and a bag included?
Yes. The box line names two AAA batteries, two test leads, a storage bag and a user manual, plus a silicone cover. It weighs 100 g in the attributes.
The Crenova MS8233D is £22.99 on amazon.co.uk, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 9,442 reviews. The listing states a 6000-count LCD, manual and auto range, and IEC61010-1 CAT III 600V with two built-in fuses. It states DC and AC voltage and current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, diode, live wire and NCV. True RMS is not in the bullets, and temperature is not listed. The box includes test leads, alligator clips, two AAA batteries and a carrying box. UK reviews praise auto-ranging, the case and a readable screen for DIY use. One buyer called the case a bit small and the manual only fairly clear. It is a mid-price meter in this set with a printed CAT III 600 V line and a large UK review count. That is a listing comparison, not a laboratory test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A DIY meter when you want a stated CAT III 600 V line, auto-range and a carry box, and you do not need a printed True RMS claim.
Less suitable: Jobs that need a stated True RMS reading, or a temperature probe, which this listing does not claim.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Crenova MS8233D listing state a CAT rating?
Yes. The bullets state IEC61010-1 CAT III 600V and two built-in fuses. True RMS is not stated in the bullets, and no separate 750 V or 1000 V figures are in the file.

Yes. The box line names a carrying box, and the bullets also name test leads, alligator clips, two AAA batteries and a user manual. One UK buyer found the case a bit small for the meter and the leads together.
The Proster T21D is £16.99 on amazon.co.uk, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 1,807 reviews. It states 6000 counts and True RMS, with auto range and a manual override, NCV, and AC and DC voltage and current. Capacitance, frequency, duty cycle, diode, continuity, a backlight and a flashlight are listed. A K-type temperature probe is in the box, with an upper temperature rating attribute of 1000 °C and no printed tolerance. A magnet, kickstand, probe storage and a cloth bag are stated, plus three AAA batteries and two spare fuses. A CAT number is not in the file; specification met is CE. UK buyers like the function count. One called the display slow, and one said the alligator clips detach and can leave a live lead end exposed. Voltage limits beyond the function list are not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A £16.99 meter when you want stated True RMS, temperature and a cloth bag, and you can accept a missing CAT number.
Less suitable: Work that needs a printed CAT voltage, or buyers who rely on the supplied alligator clips after the UK clip complaint.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Proster T21D state a CAT rating?
A CAT number is not in the file. Specification met is CE. The listing does state 6000 counts, True RMS, auto range with manual override, and AC and DC voltage and current.
Is a temperature probe in the box?
Yes. The box line names a K-type temperature probe, and the upper temperature rating attribute is 1000 °C. A tolerance is not printed. Three AAA batteries, a cloth bag, an alligator clip, a screwdriver and two spare fuses are also named.
What did UK buyers say about the clips?
One UK buyer said the alligator clips detach and can leave a live lead end exposed, and called the clip connection poor. Another called the display slow on first impression. The listing is 4.6 from 1,807 at £16.99.
The FNIRSI DMT-99 is £49.99 on amazon.co.uk, the highest price in this set, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 40 reviews. Of 18 stored reviews, two are marked United Kingdom. The title states 9999 counts and TRMS, and it is rechargeable with a stated 1500 mAh cell. Intelligent mode selects the range. A 2.4 inch TFT at 240 x 320 is stated, plus recording of up to eight readings with max and min, and a monitoring mode with thresholds. Functions include AC and DC voltage and current, resistance, capacitance, continuity, diode, NCV and live wire, with a double ceramic fuse. A CAT number is not stated. Temperature is not in the function bullets. Dimensions, warranty and voltage limits are not stated. One UK review says relative mode does not work. Non-UK reviews mention slow continuity and thin probes. Those non-UK texts are not UK opinion.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who wants a colour screen, stated True RMS and onboard recording, and can accept a small UK review sample.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a printed CAT voltage, a working relative mode, or a mostly UK review sample. It does not prove a circuit dead.
Specifications
Common questions
How many stored reviews are from the United Kingdom?
The listing is 4.6 from 40. Of 18 stored reviews, two are marked United Kingdom. The rest are Germany, Italy or Spain. One UK buyer called it fast and easy. The other said relative mode does not work on a new unit.

A protective cover, fold-out stand, test leads, a 9 V battery and a manual are named. CE and UKCA are in the attributes, and this is the only file in the set that states UKCA. A CAT number, True RMS, NCV and capacitance are not stated. The colour attribute says Digital Multimeter rather than a colour. UK reviews treat it as enough for a hobby or a small home job. One buyer wanted a separate case, which is not in the box list.
Pros
Cons
Best for: The cheapest meter in this set for batteries and simple checks, with UKCA printed on this listing.
Less suitable: A stated CAT rating, True RMS, NCV, or a separate case. The 10 A jack is a 10-second range in the bullets.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the ULTRICS listing state UKCA?
Yes. CE and UKCA are in the attributes. A CAT number is not stated. True RMS, NCV, capacitance and a separate case are not stated. In this set, only this file states UKCA.

Current is not listed, True RMS is not stated, and no CAT number is printed. Counts are not stated. One UK buyer said cable sensing was AC only and told vehicle DC tracing buyers to look elsewhere. UK buyers who liked it called it easy and a useful kit item.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light pen for voltage, continuity and non-contact checks when a CAT number is not required for the job.
Less suitable: Current measurement, a printed CAT rating, or tracing DC on a vehicle, which one UK buyer said this pen does not do.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the BSIDE A1X measure current?
A current range is not listed in the bullets. Smart auto mode is stated for AC or DC voltage, resistance and continuity, with a manual mode also stated, plus capacitance, diode and NCV.
Does the listing print a CAT rating?

Will it trace vehicle DC cables?
One UK buyer said it only senses power in cables if the supply is AC, and told vehicle DC tracing buyers to choose something else. Nine stored reviews are marked United Kingdom, and the texts are short.
The Beizkna XL830L-250 is £9.98 on amazon.co.uk, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 3,185 reviews. It measures AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, continuity, battery, diode and transistor hFE. AC current is not stated. The attribute maximum operating voltage is 200 V, and the bullets do not state a higher figure. There is no CAT line. Counts, True RMS, NCV, capacitance and temperature are not stated. The box includes a 9 V battery, test leads, a manual and an orange cover with a kickstand. Dimensions are 10 x 7 x 3.5 cm and weight is 220 g. UK reviews call it small and enough for basic testing if you know the dial, and frame it as a cheap meter rather than a daily trade tool. No repeated dead-on-arrival pattern is in the sampled UK reviews. Warranty is not stated.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low-price dial meter for batteries and simple DC checks when the 200 V attribute matches the job.
Less suitable: Mains work above the printed 200 V attribute, AC current, or any job that needs a CAT number.
Specifications
Common questions
What voltage does the Beizkna attribute print?
The attribute maximum operating voltage is 200 V. Bullets do not state a higher voltage, and there is no CAT line. A minimum operating voltage attribute of 0.2 V DC is also printed. No tolerance is printed.
Does it measure AC current?

Counts are not stated. It is about 2 cm thick, with a colour LCD and auto shut-down after 10 minutes. Cell type and warranty are not stated, and a separate pouch is not confirmed. UK buyers like the colour display. Criticisms are that auto mode cannot be turned off and starts an ohms reading with no voltage, that it is slow, and that supplied leads fitted loosely until replaced. Current still needs the red lead in the 10 A socket.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A smart meter when you want CAT III 600 V and True RMS on the listing and can live with a mode you may not lock.
Less suitable: Buyers who want a dial that stays on ohms, or who need a stated count and a confirmed zip case.
Specifications
Common questions
Can you turn smart mode off on the AS-118D?
A UK review says auto mode cannot be turned off, and with no voltage it starts an ohms reading. The listing says smart mode defaults on and selects a range for voltage, resistance, capacitance and more. True RMS and IEC CAT III 600 V are stated.
What did UK buyers say about the leads?
One UK review says the supplied leads fit loosely and gave erratic readings until they were replaced. Current still needs the red lead moved to the 10 A socket. A 10 A fuse and a silicone case are stated. A separate pouch is not.
Does it measure temperature?
Yes, temperature is stated, with no tolerance. Counts are not stated. The listing is £19.99, rated 4.3 from 1,033 reviews. Auto shut-down after 10 minutes and a colour LCD are stated. Warranty is not stated.
The Fyearfly is an analogue pointer multimeter at £15.99 on amazon.co.uk, rated 3.6 out of 5 from 13 reviews. All eight stored reviews are marked Germany, Italy or France. None is marked United Kingdom, so the written themes are not UK opinion. Bullets describe a magnetoelectric meter with 18 gears and 21 ranges, ABS plastic, a mirror surface and a carbon pointer, and a stated measurement error of 2.5%. It claims voltage, current and resistance, and the bullets also mention audio frequency and electrical frequency. There is no CAT line, no True RMS and no digital counts. Continuity is not stated as a beep. A battery count is not given. Colour, warranty and a case are not stated. Non-UK reviews include an ohms zeroing failure and a unit that does not work. Weight is 210 g.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A buyer who specifically wants a pointer movement and accepts a thin, non-UK review sample.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs UK written reviews, a CAT number, True RMS, or a confirmed beep continuity function.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the written reviews from the United Kingdom?
No. The listing line is 3.6 from 13. All eight stored reviews are marked Germany, Italy or France. None is marked United Kingdom, so those texts are not UK opinion.
Does it have a digital count or a CAT rating?
It is an analogue pointer, not a count display. No CAT line, no True RMS and no digital counts are stated. Bullets say 18 gears and 21 ranges, and a stated measurement error of 2.5%.
What did the non-UK reviews say about ohms?
One German review says the ohms function will not zero. One French review calls resistance measurement impossible. One Italian review says it does not work. There is no UK written review in the file to confirm those faults.
Scores use the 11 amazon.co.uk listings kept on this page. They are not a laboratory test, and they are not a GS38 compliance check. Each score follows the five blocks below. The top pick and the best value are the listing awards for this set.
Category and voltage
30%Up to 30 points when the listing prints a measurement category and a voltage together. CAT III 600 V is stated for the VENLAB, the Crenova and the Aicevoos. CAT II 600 V is stated for the TESMEN. CE, UL or UKCA without a category does not fill this block.
True RMS for a non-sine wave
20%Up to 20 points when True RMS is printed, for dimmers, many LED drivers and variable-speed tools. A DC battery check does not need it. Average-responding meters are scaled for a sine.
Functions that match the job
20%Up to 20 points for a stated current range when amps are the job, and for voltage, resistance and continuity when they are not. The TESMEN bullets do not list current.
amazon.co.uk review evidence
15%Up to 15 points from the star line and the review count on that UK listing. A thin United Kingdom sample stays thin. Written reviews that are not marked United Kingdom are not treated as UK opinion.
Shelf price against what is printed
15%Up to 15 points for the stored amazon.co.uk price against the CAT line, True RMS claim and functions actually printed. A low price with no category is not the same offer as a stated CAT voltage.
Match the meter to the job before the brand. DC volts and continuity cover batteries and unplugged fuses. Current needs a stated amp range and its own jack. The TESMEN bullets list voltage, resistance and continuity, not current. A CAT mark only helps if a voltage is printed beside it. True RMS matters when the AC wave is not a sine. Counts tell you resolution, not whether the meter is safe on that circuit.
A handheld multimeter for a UK shopper is a battery-powered meter for voltage, resistance, continuity and sometimes current. People buy one on amazon.co.uk for batteries, fuses and simple DC circuits, or for mains voltage if the stated measurement category matches the job. Quality starts with the printed CAT rating and its voltage, then whether AC is True RMS, then display counts, the current jack and the leads. Manual digital meters in this set use a dial.
Current uses a separate jack. A red lead left in the 10 A socket and then used on voltage is a common way to stress the meter. On the AS-118D, current still needs that lead moved. On the ULTRICS, the 10 A range is stated for a maximum of 10 seconds.
Counts are resolution, not safety. A CE, RoHS or UKCA line is not a measurement category. Only the ULTRICS file in this set states UKCA, and it still has no CAT number. Megger's point is that a CAT mark without a voltage is useless.
GS38 says you use a suitable test lamp or two-pole detector, proved before and after, to decide whether voltage is present or absent. Non-contact mode does not prove dead. One BSIDE buyer also said cable sensing was AC only, so silence is not a vehicle DC result either.
Match the meter to the circuit before you compare brands. DC volts and continuity cover batteries and an unplugged fuse. Current needs a stated amp range and a separate jack. The TESMEN TM-510 bullets list voltage, resistance and continuity, not current, so it is the wrong meter if you need amps. Read the CAT mark and the voltage together. Martindale describes CAT II as socket outlets and plug-in appliances, CAT III as the building distribution, and CAT IV as the supply side.
Choose True RMS when the AC wave is not a clean sine, including dimmers, many LED drivers and variable-speed tools. Average-responding meters are scaled for a sine. Fluke says the error on a non-linear load can be up to 40% low. A DC car-battery check does not need True RMS. Counts are resolution, not safety: 1999 on the ULTRICS, 4000 on the TESMEN, 6000 on the Crenova, the VENLAB and the Proster, and 9999 on the FNIRSI. Auto-range is the easier first meter.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You check batteries, fuses and unplugged flexes, and any mains look stays inside a stated category. The TESMEN TM-510 is about £16.99, with 4.6 from 13,668 reviews and CAT II 600 V stated. It lists voltage, resistance and continuity. It does not list current.
You want DC volts on an accessible 12 V lead-acid battery, rested, ideally overnight, on a 20 V DC range. The ULTRICS UT0021YB is about £7.99, with 4.5 from 14,169 reviews, and it states DC voltage. The RAC figure is about 12.6 V engine-off. That is state of charge, not proof it will crank.
You want True RMS and a CAT III 600 V line on the same listing, including a stated 20 A AC/DC range. The VENLAB VM-600M is about £26.99, with 4.7 from 623 reviews. It is manual range and quite big. It does not prove a circuit dead.
The top pick is the VENLAB VM-600M at about £26.99. The listing states True RMS and CAT III 600 V, with 20 A AC/DC, 750 V AC and 1000 V DC in the bullets, and 4.7 from 623 reviews. It is manual range, and buyers describe it as quite big. The best value is the TESMEN TM-510 at about £16.99, with 4.6 from 13,668 reviews and CAT II 600 V stated. Current is not in its bullets. The other nine meters have no award. None of these listings proves a circuit dead.
