I don't know if they can be trusted, but I can't really think of a
reason not to. I guess I could find a well-defined load (a large
wattage resistor for instance) to check it.

Because I distrust cheap meters. Personal thing. :-)

You can measure a stove, it will measure all right. But an oven or a motor with a triac regulator... I wonder. Maybe it works fine.


really need a higher wattage power supply: not because you need that
so much power, but because one of the lines uses much more power.

Or a powersupply with a higher output rating for the 12V line. But
you're right, point taken.

Yes, that's what I meant.
