Truly Amazing Product Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This really works. It's good enough that during the pandemic I was able to perform a lot of my day job at home. Comparing my measurements with the Agilent VNA's at work showed almost no difference. This was up to 2 GHz, too.

However... Beware of the supplied USB cable. It's also a good idea to get and use a pair of SMA "connector savers". High quality ones from reputable suppliers aren't much money and are cheap insurance.

Don't overlook the *free* software that's available for use with this product. It really provides a ton more useful features.

Absolute Best NanoVNA Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
This is THE NanoVNA version to get if you care about the accuracy and repeatability of your measurements and are confused by all the variants and clones.

I bought mine from the official store on Tindie to be sure I didn't get a bad performing clone, and the difference between this and the clone I had is night and day. This one holds its calibration even after months, does not drift as it warms up, shows a precise dot on the smith chart instead of a hairy blob and can show filters isolation down to -90dB. Someone reviewed it on a blog post showing it's very comparable to a Keysight Fieldfox.

Lesson is - you get what you pay for!
