a cheap vom should be fine on a VOLTAGE check of an ac circuit as long as the insulation on the leads is correct... find a UL tag and you should be good to go..

Thats correct. But, nobody plans on having their meter blowup when they go to work in the morning either. For me, a good meter is cheap insurance. Buy cheap at your own risk. I certainly wont trust a Walmart or other cheap meter with my life.
