What Is Your Favorite Roadtest of 2022?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

At the end of the year, I like to reflect on what products have been roadtested in the past 12 months. I usually ask for community member input. Hence, this poll. 

Given all the roadtests we have done, it may be a challenge to pin it down to one favorite one. But give it a try. Ask yourself, which one really stands out for you? Or, which one after seeing the roadtest made you want to have it.  

If you need to, feel free to leave a more detailed comment. Thanks. 

Here are links to the roadtests for your convenience:

    I'm guessing that the MXO4 road tests will be good - although they may not be finished by the end of 2022.

    My personal favorite is the Latte Panda 3 Delta. 

    Out of a curiosity, sifting thru the 2022 Road Test listing, the Latte Panda 3 Delta had the most applicants, second most is the Raspberry Pi 2W.  The rest were far less in applicants. It lines up with the notion these 2 perhaps have the most latitude for a Road Tester to be creative.  

    I'm  really enjoying The Latte Panda 3 Delta Road Test, it has almost become an obsession. I'll stop at that to avoid getting way off topic from the question Randall posted.

    Tough choice.  There were a lot of great Roadtests.  My favorites could be considered the less technical - because I'm intrigued by how the Roadtester tested or applied something that folks might take for granted - like a multimeter or bench power supply.

    Though there are lot of good products to test from the list, but I think the MXO 4 Oscilloscope is the better product i would like to test because of vast features

    It seems to be about the product. There are several vote options that aren't in review state.

    I would have preferred the option to have selected more than one.

    Digilent Sound and Vibration Measurement Hat for Raspberry Pi - Industrial Sensing & Rohde & Schwarz NGL201 Bench Power Supply are two Roadtest that I recall. The sound RoadTest had two E14  stratosphere RoadTesters lend their insight to the RoadTest. I came away thinking "I didn't know you could do that." I knew little about the Operation modes of Power Supplies until a read the power supply review. This review is an example of why vendors gift expensive equipment for RoadTests Should a reviewer keep a $20K Oscilloscope? R&S got the worth of their gift on that review.

    Great job to all parties.

    What Jan says is not incorrect.  The Roadtest could be excellent but if I do not understand any of what they have done... hard to call it a "favorite".

    I basically try to figure out which review had the most useful content, where large quantity doesn't necessarily translate into most useful. Conclusions are important. There may also be some bias, colored by what is most useful to me, as opposed to some ideal user. When ranking them all I also notice some bias creeping in towards items I find more interesting. 

    If there are some reviews that are close, I decide based on which presentation was was more entertaining or engaging.

    Hmm. I feel the list may be missing a few reviews @rscasny - the Keysight Smart Bench Essentials RoadTest which I delivered in April is an example. While that RoadTest was "created" in 9th December 2021, applications didn't close until 24th January 2022, so it wouldn't have been a contender for last year and somehow missed out being one for this year.

    Nevertheless, I have made my vote from the list above ...
