Im looking to make an important investment on a oscilloscope, right now im looking particularly at this GW Instek (https://www.acmax.mx/osciloscopio-digital-gds-220) , I would really apreciate if you give me your opinions or suggest me another in the same range (doesnt have to be gw instek)(https://www.acmax.mx/content/images/thumbs/0000606_gds-220.png)

What's your budget?  Is a small physical size a requirement?

TBH you'd be better off with a separate DMM and scope.
Why does the small form factor interest you ?
Must it be totally portable and not a bench unit ?  :-//
