Well, Dave Jones has just done a review:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdGQEVdxmQQ
Overall, he's critical of the lack of obvious safety features (hardly a surprise), but is impressed with the functionality. I don't think he points out anything that I haven't already mentioned here or on the other places I've been posting about it, but the video is still a good summary.
I think he could have placed more emphasised on the functionality for the price. Perhaps that's because he largely ignores the meters at this price point, whereas I've been studying them for a while? In short, before these Aneng/Zotek meters came on the scene, this money would only get you 2000-count meters - certainly not 6000 or 9999-count meters, and definitely not true-RMS.
I also wonder if he's seen Joe Smith's review of the AN8002? That meter seems a lot more robust that appearances would suggest, and I've no reason to suspect the AN8008 will be any different.
Anyway, things have certainly moved on a bit in this end of the market.
