It does most things and well. I have always preferred the rare bench scopes with battery for avoiding ground loops and occasional field work. This being much more portable at this feature level is a favourite. Long battery time, compared to my previous scope, and you can add a powerbank, but I have not needed it.
The button UI for adjusting time base and vertical scale feels unintuitive at first, but makes sense when you think about it. For a button-scope I now find it easy to use.
Minimal vertical scale of 100mV is a limitation worth noticing, but good enough for most things. Had seen continuity testing criticized for being really slow, so great to find that is not the case. Channel updates on the display is super fast, even at double this price point. I needed to buy a second probe for it separately.
Great to always have a capable scope, multimeter and signal generator in one unit in the bag, also working from home. Instantly on, it has replaced my bench scope for most tasks. Hope it lasts a long time - it feels sturdy for what it is.

Compared to my ol' (and still used) UT81B, it's an improvement in almost every category.
Things I would like to see:
- smoother autoranging
- minor UI improvements: V/H settings, occasional key lags etc
- basic Math trace options, like CH1-CH2 (for diff measurements).
Note: scope inputs, AWG, test signal and USB port all share the same GND.

All in all, satisfied and meets my expectations (after watching several video reviews beforehand).
Stable waveform compared to other cheaper units, acceptable low and high limits for horizontal and vertical resolutions. The multimeter function is very good and the measurements are very precise.
The good points are good on this one, the bad things are few. Among them: No Vrms measurement, Auto mode can be a bit slow to perform. Arrow keys started to misbehave at times - one press is registered as many and the resolution (for example) skips several steps, then I have to go back with the other arrow. The unit is rarely used, once in a while, so this is embarrassing. Operating the most common functions (vertical/horiz. resolution and position) is not very intuitive but Ok.
Still, the unit works and for the current price it's worth it.
