The "MotoPower" branded ODB2 Scanner caught my eye when I came across the listing. I actually another full featured Scanner, but it is much larger and bulkier in comparison and that stays in my Garage. I thought this MotoPower unit could make a good possible candidate for something more compact that remains in my vehicle and I wanted to check this out.
This product arrives in printed, retail style packaging. In addition to the main device, you get a simple carrying pouch and a printed, colour manual. I appreciate the inclusion of the manual as it is rare that a maker even includes printed material these days. The manual has decent colour pics along with just enough information to make it useful as a reference without drowning you in tiny text fonts.
The device itself has decent general build quality. It feels robust and durable enough for its intended use. The display is surprisingly large for a device at this price point in my opinion. It is bright which makes for easy ready in the dark which is important! I like that the information readout is simple in terms of the presentation, but provides you all you need to know. (I should note that the device is entirely self-powered form your vehicles OBD port!)
In actual use this device is very straight forward and becomes intuitive after a very short learning curve. It does not have a full cursor pad, but that is not necessary as the menus have been structured in such a way that you simply jog up or down and cycle through the colour icons on the screen. You basically only have to move the menu via the two up/down keys along with the OK key (which acts as "Enter") and the Back Key in order to exit out of the current screen to return to the main menus.
I appreciate the quick access buttons that go directly to the Battery Test and the DTC functions on the fly. This device incorporates a LOT of features I only used to see on much higher priced devices in the past such as the REAL TIME Look when operating. There a lots of very useful features here.
Overall, I am very pleased with the MotoPower Model MP69033 Code Reader. It is well made, durable and most importantly, functions as intended. I like that it is compact and easy to store. This met my expectations for being a simple device which I can easily store in the glove box (just in case). At the original listing price of $49.99, I feel this is reasonable for what you are getting here. This device is certainly worth considering in my opinion.
