   One reason you seem to be confused is that you do not know why you want one.   
      
   If you are trying to resurrect something built in the 21st century, an ESR   
   meter is probably the best tool to find the bad electrolytics.   
      
   If you have a box full of non-polarized capacitors, and you want to know how   
   many farads in each one, you need something different and and ESR meter will   
   be useless.   
      
   If you care about leakage and breakdown voltage, you need something completely   
   different.   
      
   If you do not know the difference between polystyrene, mica, and tantalum,   
   then get some more experience and knowledge about practical electronics before   
   you try to measure C.
