It's specs say that this "slightly better meter" does not have auto
power-off.
The specs also show (at the bottom) that this "slightly better meter" has
a
measurement range up to 600 Volts, both AC and DC.  The specs for this
"slightly better meter" give no meter accuracy figures whatsoever.

So specifically what makes the meter you cite a "slightly better meter"
(other than you're saying it's a "slightly better meter")?   Have you
tried
one of these "slightly better meters"?  Does it's low cost (for fewer
features) make it a "slightly better meter" ?

Oh, when you add in the lowest ****pping charges for that "slightly better
meter", it's actual delivered cost isn't all that much different from the
meter
(with more features) which you've never seen, never used, never tested,
know nothing about ... the meter which you're "really skeptical" of.

Back to whatever it is you're smoking ...  <g>
