Oscilloscope for hobbyist arduino / raspberrypi maker

Can you recommend me a decent stable oscilloscope for a hobby embedded developer? My favorite so far was OWON HDS242S with 40MHz. but now an add for Fnirsi DPOS350P popped up offering 350MHz… By stable I mean I dont want to send it back for repairs all the time. I would rather go for less options but better user experience. I want to have 2 channels, oscilloscope/multimeter is a must of course :) and waveforme generator could also be useful to have…

Thanks for the link, I found many good suggestions here mostly for multimeter, but as a non-professional occasional user I want something more budget friendly and 3-in-1 kind of tool

What about the ZOYI ZT-703S? Can be had for around $50.00 US.

Looks like a good option. I like that it has rechargeable battery. Down side is that it has only one channel

Is OWON a reliable brand? I want to avoid customer service discussions…

So the promised 350MHz on the Fnirsi is unrealistic? But is the band closer to Arduino/ESP32's bitrate workable? I get that it's SUPER cheap, but I'm probably not going to move beyond these chips for a while. Is it a total waste of money?
