Digital Voltmeter/Ammeter

I am trying to clean up my wiring in my control panel.
Presently incorporating two digital multimeters.
Yes, I could use one, but don't wish to turn a knob to toggle between volts and amps to see real time information.
Two are bulky and that's what I'm trying to get away from.
I want small and compact, and both volts and amps on one display, at the same time, no turning knobs or flipping a toggle switch.

I have been looking at this;

Anybody bought from this etailer and can comment on the quality or accuracy of these?
Yes, you get what you pay for, but I have less invested in the two meters I'm already using, and I find them accurate (>2%) compared to my fluke.
Anybody bought one, or anything else from this company?

Seller has 99.9 positive rating over 21,000 transactions.
Thoughts, or better yet, real experience?

works quite well. I use on on my Hill Topper eBike. it runs on 24 VDC when needed.

forgot to mention. E bikes don't operate in reverse, at least not two wheel bikes but I see no reason why this would not work for you.

The meter shown at the first link only measures postive voltage, so would have to be installed before any reversing switches. It also requires a 4v-30VDC power supply to for the LED display.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.

Thanks Rich and Len,

Yeah saw that, not a problem.

I have a shoe box full of wall warts I could use for DC power supply.

I'm going to pull the trigger on this one and buy a few, will you know how they work out.
Thanks again
