They gave up on the scope and sent it to you to see if you had any ideas on how to make it work.

[TheDefpom]

Check out the solder ball between the resistors @9:00 !

[booboyBL]

What a pile of c**p! Normally I'd ask you to send it to me, but I think you can keep this one.
Do a reverse 'dumpster dive' on it.

[Jedda]

You almost get the feeling they sent it to Dave to get a better idea about how much their scope stinks

[Richard_Ashton]

Is this a pre-production prototype? everything suggests it has been a test-bed for the final model.

[Arek_R.]

I used to work at a factory where sometimes trimcap wasn't enough and so some capacitors were placed manually, the quality was much much better and the product was only like $100.
Here you have $1000 and looks like a playground for 10yo kids that learn to solder at school.

[Boffin]

It makes more sense if this was sent to you by Rigol or Siglant, than for UniT to sent out that buggy awful crap

[jcolonna]

Im looking for a scope and would love a comparison of all the lower level scopes.

[wphanoo]

For a sub-thousand dollar scope I bought the Siglent SDS1204X-E and it's really good, 200mhz 4 channels.
The hardware of the Uni-T seems fine, only the software seems really buggy. A lot of companies underestimate the complexity of software, for all types of products not only scopes

[MrAwyork]

Two of the channels have different chips than the other 2. Top right region at 9:48

And watch crystal right next to an inductor, eeewww 10:00

[DriverDude]

Those are not bugs. They are Easter eggs meant for your fun.

[FlakeSE]

Why oh why would they send reviewers a buggy & bodgy rev. 1

[denizkarl]

the best youtube channel about electronic i have ever seen.

[Gengh]

We all knew it was going to be bad, but it's good to know how bad. Thanks for the teardown.

[gelecopter]

Dave opens front-end cans: Uni-T in all its glory. Its so uni-t -ish.

You need to attach a drill to get 300 BPS. Seriously, the more i see Uni-T products, the more i stay away and don't recommend.

[girder]

@7:38 looks like the bottom right pin of U2 isn't even soldered (frontend for channel 3)

[drd]

I have always dreamed of owning a oscilloscope. I am saving up for one and waiting for the right one. So a low budget compare would be great. Thank you for your videos! I feel smarter because of you.

[flapjackboy]

UNI-T living up to their usual reputation, I see.

[mdevries]

Seems like a test device. Not sure why they would send you an incomplete product though...
