A lot of the drama around Fluke seems to me to be around existential questions (what is a Fluke?). These often come up based upon the way the market has changed over time. Fluke is a brand tightly tied to safety, which is certainly a factor for buyers making a living off their multimeter since staying alive is a key part of the equation. However, something Fluke does to service the institutional market which doesn't always present an obvious value to the retail buyer is that they've maintained stability in their products/models over time to allow corporate and government buyers to build standards around their meters. Additionally, Fluke's market differentiators has historically incorporated a couple of other noteworthy features:
Lifetime warranty
Made in USA
Fluke unsurprisingly manufactures the bottom end of their 100-series in China. Similarly, they've restricted warranties on these to as little as one year. At the same time, Fluke doesn't fail to build into these units the basic safety considerations which are hallmarks of their products.
So is a Fluke 107 still a Fluke? For some of those for whom safety might be a primary concern and the price point isn't, this model of Fluke has merit. Others might justifiably argue against paying Fluke prices if you aren't even getting Fluke mainstay features like the two additional bullets I laid out above. The good news for everyone is that there are plenty of valid choices assuming trade-offs are taken into consideration.
Good luck!

If you're only ever going to measure AC out of the wall at a house, an averaging meter is fine but most people will have no idea that its limited to just that and when they need to measure something that might not be a true AC waveform and won't even know their reading is wrong.
At that point, just get a cheapie meter, not one that is close to $100.
Any thought on this one? Seems like a decent feature meters albeit a little over price comparing to my 30 years old $20 (missing diode and auto voltage measurement). But everything else seem to have a big price jump.

A very good explanation of why FLUKE multimeters are expensive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a...19Y
I have one cheap but reviewed as a very good cheap multimeter ANENG AN8008. But all of us need to research based on our own needs.
Note: True RMS is very helpful for electricians (more relevant) but NOT for us (electronics) that manage low voltage signals 99% of the time.
Good used made in USA stuff is much better than new cheapo crap made in Communist China: back then when we make stuff domestically, people didn't figure out how to cut corners aggressively. With relatively simple tech, at the same price, you get more robust and reliable product with proven track record (at least a decade of field testing, if there's a noticeable flaw, most people would have known about it) with buying used or old new stock.
Nonetheless, buying products made under Fluke's name is for the right to sue Fluke if things went horribly wrong. There's little you can get from suing white labels or cheap brands in China.

Basically for a project that's doesn't care about being off by 100mV or less and doesn't work with high voltages that can injure, this Fluke meter doesn't add much value to what a $20 multimeter already does. As some others have mentioned, electricians are better off with fluke.

This meter just isn't slotted in a good position -- if this is your price point, get a Klein, Extech, Greenlee, etc True RMS meter at this price point. If you use DMMs on a regular basis, you'll likely have a much more expensive Fluke.
