Good value for what it does.
I use this oscilloscope for automotive repairs on my own cars. Not at professional level but as a hobby. I have put it through its paces over this last week using various signal input generators and have found it very capable. It is by no means a Picoscope but its no where near the cost either.I find its main purpose is for establishing if there is a signal or not. If you want to analyse the signal in greater detail then you need something with a bigger screen. This will usually mean a pc based system.The method of changing the scale is not very intuitive and takes some getting used too.For a portable scope to be used in the field at this price range it is perfec.

A lot of instrument for the money!
This is exactly what I expected from a 'keep in your tool box' scope meter and quite a bit more.Its strength is its small size and fully isolated electrical connection - a feature that in careful hands can view signals that would be problematic.It even has sufficient functionality to hold its own on the work bench.It would be very unfair to make much criticism of this device, because a weakness is that it cannot be a DMM ad a scope at the same time! Although it does its best to try.It does need some time invested to learn to navigate the buttons.

Nice bit of kit.
A bit clunky to use but it does work well. Having a scope, meter and sig gen all in one unit is very handy for work out and about.Battery life is good, good selection of probes included, seems to be accurate against my bench meter and scope.I think my only complaint is that the unit can only be used in one mode at a time, i.e. The signal generator can't be used ad the same time as the oscilloscope.Still a good unit for the price though.

Excellent Company
I bought this product in Jan 2022 and I placed on a shelf and did not use it until a few days ago.The display was showing a foggy ring around the perimeter so I contacted OWON SMARTTEK LTD the supplier and they said they could supply a replacement display. This was sourced from OWON in China and arrived within 4 days. I quickly fitted the display and the oscilloscope is now working perfectly.I cannot thank OWON SMARTTEK LTD and the staff enough for their help in solving my problem.The portable Owon hd272s is a great buy and I recommend it thoroughly. You will have no problems with OWON SMARTTEK LTD as a supplier.

Great
Fantastic little multimeter, oscilloscope and signal generator. Comes with a good set of accessories and an excellent firm case that has a padded flap to protect the display from being scratched by the accessories. Great it is powered by two standard lithium 18650 batteries that are cheap and easy to obtain. It also has a high impact rubberised casing for protection. If I had seen something like this 45 years ago when I started electronics repairs, I would have thought the Aliens had landed! Highly recommended.

Excellent multimeter
Very impressed with this, I admit it's a little tricky to get use too, but once you have used it a few times it gets easier, but highly recommended.

Well made scope but not intuitive controls.
Using in repair/diagnosis service Dept. Works well and has feeling of quality. Very compact and portable for field use and accurate for most situations. Just let down by insufficient information in instruction manual but otherwise would recommend.

Great piece of portable test equipment
I found this quite intuitive to use. The com intaion of an oscilloscope with a sensible bandwidth, a multimeter and a function generator makes for a very useful item of portable test equipment.

sa simplicité d'utilisation.
je l'utilise en dépannage électronique, automate, robotique, radio télécommunication. il moins encombrent qu'un oscilloscope classique en travaux extérieure.

Das hätte ich mir als Kind gewünscht!
Für die allermeisten Aufgaben, zu denen man ein Oszi benötigt, ist dieses kleine Gerät völlig ausreichend. Darstellung und Bedienung sind schnell, die Einstellmöglichkeiten ausreichend und die Genauigkeit in Ordnung. Auch die Funktion als Multimeter ist erstaunlich gut. Der eingebaute Funktionsgenerator macht was er soll, wenngleich mit überschaubaren Möglichkeiten. Insgesamt ist das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis wirklich gut. Als Kind und junger Elektronikbastler habe ich mir immer ein Oszi gewünscht. Heute ist es genau dieses Gerät geworden, allerdings als mobile Lösung zur Diagnose vor Ort.

Very convenient multitool
I really like the versatility of it. It does everything I need a multimeter to do, everything I need a portable oscilloscope to do, and everything I need a function generator to do. The carry bag is also great, and this ends up being what is always on hand.I find myself using the multimeter functions a lot. It's not a Fluke, but it is more versatile and more likely to be the tool I actually carry with me, the DMM part is more adapted to electronics as opposed to electrician work, the display is very readable, it is technically-but-with-cut-corners CAT III, and it does everything I need a DMM to do. And you can have the signal generator running in the background while using it as a DMM or oscilloscope, which makes it useful to probe or power a circuit with various signals to see its response.Since this easily ends up being a goto tool, if future versions of this come out, I'd love to see the DMM get further improvements since it ends up getting frequent use, like a faster update speed on the voltmeter, better DMM probes, and maybe automatic ranging (it currently warns you or just shows no signal if you have the probes in the wrong port though). The oscilloscope part is already excellent.As far as the user experience goes, I do find myself missing the tunable knobs of a benchtop oscilloscope and the nested menus can be a bit annoying, but it turns on instantly and is very responsive. If you've navigated to the screen you want, it will return to that screen later.
