If all you need is basic voltage measuremeny, an inexpensive digital multimeter (DMM) like the [link=http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=90899]Harbor Freight Multi-Tester[/link] is just fine. It's a handy tool to have around.
However, if you also want to measure current (Amps), a proper wattmeter makes it much easier. You can measure current with an inexpensive DMM, it's just that it's far less convenient than with a wattmeter. Also, most DMMs are limited to 10A unless you buy or make a shunt.
