Umm ... any cheap multimeter will do, for both voltages.  And, just as
a reminder, if you can't measure small currents: the smaller one will
be found at the 230V side (given the same power consumption), and
you'll much more likely run into problems about what you're really
measuring there.  Use the battery and measure there.
