If you need a basic, high quality meter that will last you for years, the Fluke 15B+ is a good choice for a good price, can be had on Amazon new for about $120. Keep it out of the water and it should last as long as you care to use it. If it's your first meter, it will do plenty for you while you learn to troubleshoot electrical. Electrical work is like no other in that you can neither see, feel, or detect what you are working with without instrumentation, and it pays to use a reliable one. Dealing with a cheap meter with poor quality probes and getting intermittent, slow readings doesn't help with anything.
OK, I guess you can feel it in some cases, but certainly not the way to troubleshoot things.
