Hey,
I'm buying my second, better, multimeter (first one costed 3 € : ) ) and I have this checklist:
* auto ranging
* capacitance measurement at least up to 10mF (I see a lot under 1mF and that sounds pretty useless)
* ? hFE - how important is this one? It sounds pretty useful to me
* I've noticed other interesting features and I'd pick them (more is better, right?): frequency, filling factor (?), dB (though this is rare in multimeters)
Other notes:
* It should be decently accurate and reliable, but not a professional, expensive tool
* I'm a hobbyist doing electronics, home automation, possible audio stuff in the future. I won't mess much with mains, if at all.
* Budget: up to 50€ (may go up to 100€ if justified).
My problem is that it seems pretty hard to find all this in one piece: auto ranging + 10mF+ capacitance range + hFE.
For instance UNI-T UT61E has decent reviews, is affordable, ticks all requirements, except hFE.
So how important is hFE feature?
What other important features would you suggest?
Can you suggest a particular model with these features?
Thanks
