the SDS1102X+ (incl. function gen) is right now on sale at Batronix. -> http://www.batronix.com/versand/oszilloskope/Siglent-SDS1102X+.html
I would have square wave up to 30 Mhz instead of 10, modulation functions and probably some more advantages.
I cant judge what i would need in an oscilloscope. I would use it just occasionally for checking some PWM signals or motor outputs in rc model electronics. And maybe somewhere else but maybe it would be kind of waste of money.
If you already hava a scenario in mind, yes. If not, you just spent money for a cool looking gadget. Based on your description you're probably fine with 10Mhz.
However, at some point in the future you maybe have a real need for a function gen, and at this time you maybe want more than "just" 30 Mhz.
If space is the limiting factor, wait with this funcgen until you got your own workbench.
BTW you had a look for these Micsig Tablet Oscilloscopes?
A good multimeter will do that PWM measurement for you.

Maybe one of the Handhelds like MS210t... but that would be alone 800 euros.
And to practice a little bit with measuments in general it would be good to have a function generator too i guess.
Yes, the handhelds are much more expensive. Anything cute will cost more.
The R&S1202 is a very nice little oscilloscope that has a built in 'educational' signal generator for learning to use it. It's not brilliant as a general purpose signal generator because it only goes up to 50kHz but it does some special signals for learning that a function generator doesn't. It also has an awful lot of on screen help and graphics for beginners.
So i would stick to the Siglent

Also quite nice but little bit on the more pricey side. At least 1000 Euro for a 50 MHz model.

The Hameg scopes are very much overpriced for what they offer besides the Hameg badge.
I'm quite possitively surprised by what GW Instek offers in their GDS-1000A and GDS-2000E series. On paper they may look more expensive compared to Siglent and Rigol but they offer a much more mature product so IMHO well worth spending the extra money.

Maybe more so.
I'm also very sure the HMO1000 series won't last long in a mechanical torture test (connecting/disconnecting plugs and vibration) due to it's poor (cheap) mechanical design.
For the handheld oscilloscopes... i am not shure, but i think its too much of a compromise.
And i need a portable multimeter but not a portable oscilloscope. And the modern bench ones are not that big, so...
But you would agree that the Siglent SDS1102X has a good value for money ?
I like it more from the looks and what i read than the Rigol ones.
I'm also very sure the HMO1000 series won't last long in a mechanical torture test (connecting/disconnecting plugs and vibration) due to it's poor (cheap) mechanical design.That's just your opinion, and Dave clearly disagrees with you in his HMO1002 teardown video where he says the HMO design and build quality is second to none.
Personally I'd buy neither Rigol or Siglent oscilloscopes. They are too close to the bottom of the barrel (bugs, slow, useless features due to half assed implementation).

FYI: I design electronics for a living for close to 20 years already and Dave shoots videos.... It is obvious the Hameg badge got stuck in Dave's eye.
They're currently Siglent's best selling DSO, yes fine choice.
Where I am there's a promo on these ATM but the EU site doesn't show it.
I asked the factory to update the websites only yesterday so hopefully they will soon.
Best you inquire to check if it's still running where you are.

Both main distributors in germany and the netherlands show a 15% discount and free decode license for the SDS1000X at the moment.
Is that what you meant ?
