Really cheap oscilloscope recommendation.
nwsnate:
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a cheap oscilloscope, ideally about $200-250 USD. I found a few scopes on amazon, I'm guessing these are all not so good, but just looking for other opinions. Thanks!

I'm really no expert on 'scopes (I got my first one three weeks ago) but have you thought about getting a used one? Maybe you could get a (much) better quality, albeit older one for the same price.

Welcome to the forum.
BW and mem depth need be the deciders on entry level DSO's and of those 3, SDS1102CML+ is head and shoulders above the other 2.
Questions like this normally draw a crowd and you'll get recommendations beyond your budget.
Even though I'm exclusively Siglent I've been offered Owon but they haven't got anything with acceptable memory depth in this class last time I looked.
Good luck with your hunt.

Are you a student? an Analog Discovery 2 is a really nice data logger/scope.

In the $250 price range you really are better off with a used one. What sort of needs do you have in mind? Depending on where you are, you can probably find a nice older analog scope with probes for $100 or so, for under $200 you can often find a DSO if you don't mind a bulky CRT based one with a monochrome screen.
