I've seen a few reviews of the 622's and don't recall seeing a head-to-head comparison with the Hantek, but just observationally I thought the Uni-T looked like the better option. I wasn't aware of the 622 series when I bought the Hantek, if I had been I'd have probably got the 622E myself. Darren Walker reviewed the 622A some time ago, but most of the 622E video reviews I find are non-English and require translated captions, so I've not dived into those yet. That said, the Hantek 1833C has worked fine for me so far, as I mentioned, so I have no real regrets other than I typically don't care for Hantek products. In that budget tier I definitely tend to favor Uni-T. Not that they're premium quality either, but to Josh's point almost anything is better than Hantek, generally speaking. I was actually leaning towards the defacto DER-5000 but saw enough favorable reviews of the 1833C and it's improvements over the DER that I decided to go with it. No regrets as I said, I'm just not exactly in love with it. I posted my thoughts on Hantek in this thread asking about the 622E vs the DER-5000 and referenced Tony Albus' video that compared accuracy specs of the lower Hantek 1832C against higher end meters. It performed pretty well. |

Recognizing their shortcomings for what they are as a scope, they are an excellent value for the money IMO. Toss them in a toolbag to have a useful DMM and a low-bandwidth scope on the go, and if you break it you're not out much. Whereas I'm much more protective of my Owon HDS2022S. Although the new ZT-703S that just came out has some FW regressions in my opinion, namely around restoring last mode at powerup which had already been addressed in the 702SS. Also consider their really useful bandwidth as about half of what is stated for each. |

As it do not gets saved even using last FW. After that 1pf SMD is possible to measure with the required fixture. Anyway... for SMD parts a fixture is a must have and needs additional tweaking as cable and fixture. For more look on the good & ugly SMD fixture thread. Hp |

For bench meters, I have both a Wayne Kerr 6425 and a Instek LCR6100 - both .05% class meters and I can highly recommend either one although the 6425 tends to be much easier to use although also much larger. The DE5000 really can't be beat for hobbyist level equipment. Hal |

Hal --- End quote --- The high quality benchtop style are 5-10x the cost of the handheld units, perhaps for good reason, or perhaps the dollar-per-unit of accuracy & precision is just much higher on the better benchtop units. Finding a linear cost basis is almost unheard of these days. It's like double the accuracy & precision and pay 3x as much, etc. I am replacing my old Scope LCR 680 handheld. So I am kinda comparing to what I have now, which means just about anything new today is likley way better than the 680. If I needed something like Instek 6100, I would just buy something like that, but I think a "decent" handheld is all I need as of now. |
