Pros & Cons
Pros
Most measurements are quick to resolve, but capacitance is a bit slower. The meter is inexpensive, but has all the features you need for general electrical troubleshooting. Great inexpensive meter for my home and boat.
Used it first to find a parasitic leak on my son in law's truck. Compact, accurate, good leads and alligator clips. Adapters for clipping on to an item where you can't hold them.
The dm130b is ok, considering the cost. It feels solid and it works great. Its inexpensive and appears to be of good quality. Nice little dvm for the money.
Cons
The meter gives a faulty measurement of 1. Made the (fairly common) mistake of trying to measure voltage in amps mode, and damaged the amps circuitry.

Price
So my five star rating is based upon overall performance relative to price.
Its easy to use, easy to read and pretty good price.
Good price for a do it yourself homeowner
I like it for the variety of functions for a competitive price.

Im not going to address what constitutes a solid or a flimsy plastic polymer case as that is too subjective and not worth discussing with a 20 meter
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This meter is more than adequate for most uses but you already know that meters of this price will have some limitations
