Rigol DHO800/900 pre-sales begin

[Grandchuck]

I cancelled my order for the DHO924S.  Ordered on 8/22 and it was expected to ship on 9/8 but today the shipping was delayed to 10/20.

Official launch date for Europe September 8th 2023. Shipments start end of September.

Will you be selling them?

I would have canceled this only when I can get it safely somewhere else earlier.

Simone is from Batterfly, so probably yes.

I know who he is...

I'm asking because nobody can sell the DHO1000 directly, it can only be bought through rigol.eu.

[simone.pignatti]

Yes we will have them. Hopefully end of September.

Order is active again.  Seems that there was some communication error or misunderstanding between Rigol China and the US distributor.  The units will be available September 8 (according to an email just received from Rigol China).

And € 299 for the DHO802
It seems they read this forum   
Is this VAT included?

[Martin72]

No, list-prices are mostly excl. VAT because they can differ from country to country.
But OK, 399 plus 19% are 475€  - Still super cheap...
(Nobody really wants a 2-ch scope..)

If it´s avaible, I´ll buy one and compare it to SDS1104X-E and DS1054Z.

Rigol do indeed read this forum

I'm VAT registered so I'll get one for list price.

The DHO804 will be a perfect scope to pair with a MSO5K. Can't wait.

That's US$427 for the bottom of the range unit, US$485 for the base 4CH at current exchange rate, nice.

So AU$749 for the 70MHz 4CH DHO800 vs AU$649 for the 50MHz 4CH DS1054Z. No brainer!

Surely this absolutely kills the DS1054Z?

I'd think that only the most price sensitive informed buyer would still go for the DS1054z.  It might push Siglent to reduce price on the SDS1104X-E or offer a long running ("permanent"?) promotion for it.

[Fungus]

Surely this absolutely kills the DS1054Z?

They're still selling the DS1052E for nearly as mush as the DS1054Z. Go figure!

(and it's at #7 on Batronix, ahead of any Siglents...)

I guess that the DS1052E is still selling for it's simplicity, with a target market for those who begin to learn to use an oscilloscscope.

Not having advanced functions and much to mess with, may be and advantage there.

2-channels only versions none should be interested in.

Many people buy 2-channel oscilloscopes, why do you think it is different with the DHO800?

[Martin72]

Sooner or later, but one day for sure, you will regret not having spent the few bucks more for 4 channels back then.
Believe me. 

[Aldo22]

Believe me. 

This is your opinion and your advice. Thank you for that!

But that does not answer my question.
You say "2-channels only versions none should be interested in."
I don't know the sales figures, but if I take a quick look at Reichelt, for example, I see an offering of 93 2-channel and 55 4-channel oscilloscopes.
Why would they offer so many 2-channel oscilloscopes if nobody is interested in them?
My question was actually: why do you think that the 2-channel models particularly of the DHO800 are of no interest to anyone?
Because of the relatively small price difference?
Or how did you mean that? After all, you say that in two posts.

  I guess you answered your own question.

Once you go with the 4 channel version with digital capability, add the logic probe we are at 1000 EUR again.
The Scope alone, DHO914S is 700 EUR ex VAT, the MSO5074 is 900 EUR, the logic probe is 300 EUR so the total difference is 20%. The actual difference between these two is huge. Maybe the AWG can be hacked. They really should work on the price of the logic probe, for sure it shouldn't cost the same as a scope. This makes it uninteresting IMHO.
The DHO804 is a good price though if that's all someone needs.
