What's the best fit meter to measure EMF inside my home?

I've been researching meters for a while now, and though I've changed a
lot in my home, I still seem to be having a lot of symptoms when
inside. So, it's time to shell out the money and buy a meter. (I'd
really like to stay around or below $150.00 though) My question is
which meter is the best fit to measure all of the stuff I'm being hit
with inside my house? I want to be able to test strength of EMF from
things like appliances, lights, wiring, electronics, etc. Basically, I
want to figure out what's still too strong for me and my family to get
close to. I'm considering the Tri-Field Meter or the Electrosmog meter
and I like that the Tri-Field meter shows a visual reading, not just
audible. I think seeing it may help my husband get more on board with
all the shielding and such. But, I don't know which is better suited
to finding everything in my indoor environment, or if there is a better
suited meter. I'd like to test inside my car too, but finding all the
frequency's inside the house is most important right now. Thanks so
much in advance for any and all suggestions and advice!!!

There is not one meter which can do it all. The Trifield meter is a good
choice for electric and magnetic fields because it is low cost and 3 axis.
The Electrosmog Meter (Electrosmog Detector is different, it has sound only)
is a good choice for RF because it is also low cost, and offers a wide
frequency range and high sensitivity. Yes, there are better meters, and yes,
there are cheaper meters, but these two used together will cover most
everything you are likely to encounter at home... without breaking the bank.

So the electrosmog does not tell you how high the RF is then correct if it is only sound. What is a good RF meter that would measure how high it is inyour home? I have sooooo many cell antennas in the area right out my back window. Loni

The Trifield measures more than just 60 Hz. Including
the low end model, but you may as well get the 100XE.
Try to ignore the gibberish that states otherwise.

In a house 60 Hz is dominant. But when measuring a car
the Trifield clearly detects other frequencies besides 60 Hz
when measuring magnetic fields.
 
If it's been said once it's been said a thousand times
you'll need at least two meters, a gauss/electric field
meter and a high frequecy meter.

"Trifield meters are useful, but it's important to be aware of their
sensitivity to high frequencies when trying to determine ELF levels,
and of the fact that standard Trifields, unlike most gaussmeters, are
frequency-weighted. Higher frequencies read as higher magnetic fields.
So a 120 Hz field will read twice as high as a 60 Hz field, a 180 Hz
field three times too high, etc., and they have significant
sensitivity as high as 100 kHz, and some residual sensitivity to 100
MHz – on the magnetic, not radio/microwave setting. This can result in
wildly high readings if they're interpreted as ELF when higher
frequencies are present (like near the floorboards of cars with
electronic ignitions, which include many more vehicles than just the
Prius and other hybrids)."
