According to this old thread not recommended and ignore the title of the thread as the OP corrects to 76x700.

One the Skywatcher mini dobs would be a far better coice.

Cheap but actually usable.

Hey! I was just checking that exact same telescope but I don't know if it will give me a good view of the moon or the planets! Plus I was looking a bit more and found this telescope https://www.firstlightoptics.com/beginner-telescopes/sky-watcher-mercury-707-az-telescope.html

 

which one is better and what would I excpect to see with both?

 

Thanks!

The 76 Is usable and cheap but you would soon find yourself wanting one of the bigger ones. What isyour budget?

The Heritage 130 is very, very popular.

my budget is about 100 Euros (113.19$) or (85.66 Pounds)

The mini dobs will give the best views for the money and the dob mount is so easy to use for a beginner.

Might be worth saving up until you can afford something like the 130p.

I started off with one of these (I still have it), I managed to see the ring around saturn but it was very small. It was given to me as it was sat unused but overall it got me into astronomy and gave me just enough to get the bug. If you have young children or do observing evenings its great as you can just let them go ahead and use it without fear of any damaged.
