Opinions on This Oscilloscope

Anyone know about this scope?

Seems to be the lowest priced common digital scope around with regular tactile panel controls

as compared to other scopes of its style like Siglent, Hantek, Rigol etc.

$184 U.S. dollars

Bought that one a few months ago from curiosity. It works, it is accurate. I get lost constantly tying to find settings and controls as it is a new animal to me given little use so far. I added some labels to front panel to ease locate functions/knobs. Tempted to glue it to a brick to make more steady/held on the bench, feels as light as a pack of cigarettes. Will take practice to learn its operation. I would not get rid of a simple Hitachi V212 again for hobby use in exchange for this one; I would get rid of a Tektronix in exchange for this one.

There are many reviews on Youtube - split between (very) critical and (mildly) approving depending on your approach to this type of equipment.

A professional (or even an experienced amateur) would steer away from this device but as a learning tool it's probably more than good enough.

Personally I'd 'add' a few more 10's of $ and go for something by a more established manufacturer.

Here is a "Hantek" brand (Major brand) around the same price range as the one depicted in the first post here.

Does anyone know if this one is is any better than the scope in the first post?

I haven't personally used the Hanteck oscilloscope but I've seen several positive reviews on YouTube. Although, I've used the previous one and it was okay.
