I had to replace my old Radio Shack DMM, which became intermittent. I decided I couldn't afford the Fluke models, so I found this Klein Tools MM200. For the most part, I love it. It's small size fits easily in any hand, fast (not like the Radio Shack that seemed to take forever to take a reading), and I have always trusted the Klein brand.
The meter also comes with a thermocouple for reading temperatures. I don't have all that much use for the temperature probe, but I will use it when I need to verify that my oven is working properly.
The only thing I don't like about the MM200 is that the probes do not have clip attachments. I would have liked to be able to clip one lead onto a ground or neutral bus while making line voltage measurements. I do not like the idea of using both hands on live equipment.
This is a minor inconvenience though, since you can exchange the probes with any you choose (they are a standard plug/jack), or just use a short jumper with clips at each end to attach to the neutral bus (never use the clips to attach to the line/hot side, unless you do so while that bus is not powered up).
Overall, a great little DMM from a brand you can trust, for a great price.

I am going to be very blunt here from the get go, if your looking for a great Multimeter, this is the one to buy. However, if your looking for a Multimeter for use in a industrial purpose (I.E used by a electrician, HVAC Tech, etc) I am not sure I'd recommend this product for that use. But not because it's low quality (it's actually surprisingly well made despite not being made in USA), its because it can't measure past 600 volts and because of that fact, the Meter itself doesn't have CAT IV protection.
However, if you aren't using this multimeter in a industrial situation, this Meter is great. Not only are the banana jack's shrouded (VERY important, not only for safety reasons, but also for the lead itself, but the LCD count is 4000. I'll admit, any company can make shrouded banana jacks (whether or not they have CAT protection is a whole another story) but the high LCD count is something not seen in most $50 dollar Multimeters and sometimes even $100 plus Mulitmeters only have a count of 2000 sometimes.
Another nice feature are the probes them self to this Multimeter. Although Fluke does make some rather impressive test leads, few look as solid as this test lead. Although they only have CAT III protection and can only support up to 10 amps, the probes are not sharp, but look like quality metal as well. In addition, not only are the test leads very comfortable to use, but they also have finger guards as well. That is yet another safety feature which is quite a plus.
The cables to the test lead are labeled and while they are only 22 AWG wire, the wire itself looks fairly well made and is labeled in several places. Straight up, I would have preferred at the bare minimum 18 AWG wire, but then again it would have likely increased the price of the product, at least the cables are branded.
The outer casing to his product actually is quite nice as well, it's comfortable to use and more or less simple to take off if needed. Surprisingly, the casing is made out of rather rugid and doesn't have that cheap feel some other plastic casing's do. The Till bail is connected to the outer casing, so if removed, I would advise with extreme caution to be most cautious and gentle with this casing. The Till bail (otherwise known as a kick stand) is actually made out of exceptionally high quality plastic and while it is not that large, it looks quite durable.
That being said, you can actually work with this meter while it is propped up and it will not slide around at all. Now you do have to apply a very minor amount of force to turning the dials, the force you would use is no more than you would use usually. I've seen $150 Multimeters slide around and their till bails were very cheap and very thin, so for a Multimeter to have such a great Till Bail at this price range is virtually unheard of these days. However, it should be noted, that the casing has four bumps on the back to provide leverage as well.
This Multimeter requires a 9 Volt battery (that is included in the package) and the only way to access the battery slot is through one threaded self tapping screw. I used a Philips head Type 0 Screwdriver bit to unscrew it, but I am sure a stand Philips head Type 2 I am not sure about type 3 though) would open this. Installing the battery is very simple and the battery life of this Mutlimeter is about 200 hours. Without the back light optioned use at all of course.
However, after doing some research, there is a way to extend of the the time this Mutlimeter has and the way to do that is use a lithium 9 volt battery. Although they might be slightly more expensive, they are likely to last much longer and actually provide much more power as well. Although I am not sure how much power (hours gained) will occur, but I do know a lithium 9 volt battery mAh (Milli ampere-hour) is much greater than a regular 9 volt battery mAh. It should be noted that the self tapping screw that is used likely isn't galvanized, but after taking a closer look at the screw, there might be some coating to prevent rust and corrosion.
The one feature I like most about this the temperature button. I also like the fact that Klein provides a fairly well made Thermocouple as well. Although its a Type K Thermocouple, there is some insulation on this thermocouple nearest the tip and the jacks are made out of pretty decent metal as well. Ideally, I would have liked a Type N Thermocouple, but considering the quality of this Thermocouple, I'd say it doesn't matter that much. I really like that I measure this Thermocouple at temperatures as little as -4 degrees and up to 1,832 degrees. Now I not sure if you can immerse this product in any liquids, so I can't say I would do that.
However because this is Auto ranging multimeter, there are some exceptional features it provides. Such as the function button, I can not tell you how many times this helped me out and how much time this saved me. If I need to switch to DC or AC, it is exceptionally quick and there is a virtually no delay either. Additionally, I love the fact when I press the Hold button, it will hold the number indefinitely and that you don't have to keep your finger on this device while pressing hold is also a great feature as well.
The back light feature is also a excellent touch as well. Instead of potentially dim green color, the black light color is a bright yellow color that is very easy to read from. The numbers aren't at all tiny and that just makes it even easier to read.
But easily the nicest feature of this Multimeter is the fact on the outer casing, there is not one, but two slots to hold your test leads and the slots to hold the probes is flexible enough to hold the probes, but not SO flexible that it can't hold the leads at all. Also, the probes and even the jacks come with caps to protect them and the caps have a nice tip fit, but not so air tight you can barely remove them. It's nice molded plastic that actually is very easy to work with.
Over all, I really like this Multimeter. It's from Klein Tools, so you know it's a quality product. I've bought several tools from Klein (Electrical tester, solid wire cutter/stripper, etc) and none of them have ever given me any problems at all. Although Fluke makes some exceptional, top of the line multimeters, if your looking for a multimeter that is a quality product for a reasonable price, I really do recommend this multimeter.

I purchased this DMM because of the name brand "Klein." This company made fairly good products, but this DMM is the worst I ever used, and I used many in the computer labs that I worked in. When I set the DMM to measure resistance, then touch the two probes together, I got a reading anywhere from OL to 200 ohms to 0.8 ohms, and it jumps back and forth. The beeper doesn't produce a clean constant sound, but the sound comes on and off, like a wire is not making good contact with the beeper inside the DMM. The housing and the jacks of this DMM looks cheap, feel cheap, and low quality.

Very nice meter for the price!
This is a great meter to have in the home, car or motor home. Looks to be very durable. The only complaint I have is the continuity buzzer can hardly be heard.

Klein Tools MM200 Easy as pie.
I don't know much about these things and the fact that this is auto ranging and comes with simple instructions for some basic testing of things is what I really like about it.
