Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Build quality, reliability of safety features such as fuses and isolation, and having warranty support inside the US.
If you're after better resolution or more functions, you want one of the $40-60 Chinese models, those are perfect for measurements on electronics where the typical voltages are less than 5V and maybe going as high as 24V.
If you are working near the 600V, get the Fluke. If working with kV, get a different Fluke that's designed and rated for that.
I mean, technically not. If the question is $15 multimeter or none, then yeah, get the $15. For casual usage the $15 is enough, but when the day comes you need what the $90 offers, you'll be happy you have it. Also the $15 ones don't typically last, so have a backup.
I'm not hating on the cheap ones; heck HF has one for $8 before coupons which does the job. But if you want to buy once, cry once and get a higher end tool that will last you forever, you'll never outgrow and you'll actually use, this is a good deal

No coupon for me. However, I'm wondering if this is significantly better than those MMs from Ali for $10-15, at least for non-professional use.

So it's primarily the build quality, from what I understand, not necessarily tighter allowances or extra functionality, correct?

This one is strait forward to use for a noob. the 8$ HF needs to be switched to correct voltage range you are expecting to read. Not just type of voltage expected. Look at dials on both

To be fair, if you're not capable of determining the type and range of voltage you need to read, you shouldn't be anywhere near electricity.
I picked up the Fluke 17B+ Digital Multimeter when it was similarly priced earlier this month and am very happy with the solid feel and build of having a Fluke. That said I do have some cheaper meters like Craftsman, Kaiweets, and even RadioShack from days gone by, and they still work and compare with the voltages I've checked and compared to the Fluke within a few tenths of each other.

There are a lot of differences. For one the fusing, creepage/clearance and safety mechanisms protected from shorts, high voltage surges etc are VASTLY different even when the cheap ones "pretend" to be compliant to safety standards.
The sample rate and accuracy (especially drift over time) are generally different (though they may say the same numbers in the spec sheet). For casual use this doesn't matter but if you expect the number to be accurate within a few percent it may matter.
The methods for RMS estimation for non-TRUE RMS meters is often different and lacking in the cheaper meters.
That said, but my regular around the house work I use an old radio shack meter or a compact craftsman meter. When I'm doing electronics work or high voltage I use one of my fluke meters.

I currently have a Uni-T UT210E clamp meter that I use a lot (only DIY stuff) and like very much, but I do feel Fluke envy at times. Would getting this Fluke 15B+ just be a waste of money? Or will there be a noticeable benefit over the Uni-T?

buy a uni-t instead
