I used to do a lot of factory electrical engineering work, with a fair bit of meter based troubleshooting. I always used a Fluke, primarily because I wanted a 100% reliable meter, but also because I trust my Fluke meters with 600 VAC.
At home? I have five or six Flukes, but I also have a Harbor Freight meter I bought on sale for $4.99. The HF meter works as well as my Flukes, and if i have to measure amps I would always use the HF meter. No big deal if I burn up a $5 meter. I grab the HF meter as often as I grab a Fluke.
I would NOT use my HF meter over 250 VAC, but for home it's absolutely fine. Yes, Fluke is good, there are lots of other cheaper choices for home.
