Feature:
Pretty basic. Has input and output jacks which is nice for tuning an electric guitar. Auto and manual modes. Switches off after ten seconds of non use which saves battery power.

Quality:
Had mine since 1996, had no problems with it at all. Only replaced the battry twice in that time.

Value:
Perhaps not as feature packed as other models, but for a simple and easy to use tuner I think this one is value for money.

Desirability:
Pocket size, you can take it anywhere. Light Weight. I like that I can leave it inline between my guitar and amplifier so I can check my guitar between songs.

Sound:
Does not produce sound.

Ease of Use:
Very straightforward. Automatic mode allows you to tune any string. In manual mode you simply select the string you wish to tune. Displays if the string is in tune or if its under or over the correct frequency using an LCD needle.

Support:
Never needed support.

Overall:
I have had it over ten years and must admit that I've never needed another tuner. This thing has never let me down and I paid aruond 8 dollars for it back in the day, it really was worth it. Would definately buy another one if it broke or got stolen.

the price is the the thing that is attractive. It's auto function sometimes says the wrong string, but it does give the right result (figure that one). It is good to allow beginners to tune string E1 down to D and it is easy to use. However it is not back lit, the screen can be hard to read in certain lighting conditions and will only handle standard tunings. Not bad, but not great.

Well, it does what a tuner should. It works just fine. Nothing special about really, but its a tuner. What do you expect? This thing won't break and I've gigged with it many a gig. Just fine.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
It does have a 'thru' feature; you can plug your instrument into it and from it to your amp... I never do this.

Quality:
Buggy as heck. I've seen a few of these things and all them them are lousy as attenuating frequencies. Meaning your playing a low E that is just a tad flat but the it goes from reading D# to F. Aggravating. owned it for seven years, and it got it's share of use, though not for the last five or so. It's now going belly up, hardly usable, mostly broke. It never took a fall. My Korg took many falls, on the other hand, and spent a winter lost underneath a six inch layer of snow. IT STILL WORKS!

Value:
Cheap, but flawed.

Desirability:
I wish I'd paid another 10 bucks for a KORG.

Feature:
Confusing at best - not very responsive.

Quality:
Vastly inferior to Korg or Sabine - I like both of those. They actually give a steady, solid reading compared to this piece of junk.

Value:
Not much, I wouldn't recommend it.

Desirability:
Sex appeal? This is a piece of plastic, not a babe.

Sound:
It is the quietest tuner I have ever seen.

Ease of Use:
Very hard of hearing, I mean what's so hard about reading the frequency of a note?

Support:
Still works like it always did after a year. The battery is still good because it gets so little use. Yes, you could say I am less than pleased with this tuner. I never had to deal with them, so I don't know.

Overall:
I've already replaced this with one that works.
