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.
