Feature:
Well all it has is basic EADGBE tuning, and a needle to point you in the right direction. Batteries are included (and last a very long time) which is a plus if you have a gig and have totally messed everything up.

Quality:
I found it is not so accurate on the actual needle, but the whole reason I bought this tuner is because of the pitchpipe.

Value:
Very worth the price, usually for $10, and mine has never broken or failed on me after about a year of use.

Desirability:
Ehh... it's a piece of plastic and doesn't look too good. Especially compared to other tuners.

Sound:
Well the only sound to judge is the pitchpipe, which is a great feature that many tuners sadly lack on.

Ease of Use:
Very, very, very easy. Just connect your guitar and hit the button.

Overall:
I expect to use this for basic EADGBE tuner for the years to come, but right now in my current band it is no use because of the fact were in drop D , and lowered a halfstep.

I had owned a guitar for about an hour before I bought this tuner. In just a few minutes I was able to properly tune my guitar. Although I don't have much use for the pitch pipe feature, it is a fantastic music accessory for any novice player.

Feature:
This tuner tunes your guitar to standard tuning and nothing else. If you want to tune to anything other than that, good luck. It only works for EADBGE tuning. I'm not sure if it will work for a lower B string on a 7 string guitar, though. The electronic pitch pipe is somewhat useful.

Quality:
I barely used this anywhere else than my bedroom, so I don't really know how to comment on how well it would last in bad conditions. A big pain I had with my tuner is that the little metal things in the battery compartment liked to squeeze away from the batterry, therefore the battery became loose and the tuner was no longer functional (due to the battery not being connected) until this problem was fixed.

Value:
This tuner is pretty inexpensive. Other tuners tend to go for a bit higher prices.

Sound:
.

Ease of Use:
I used this tuner for almost two years, and those were my starting years. Plug the guitar in and tune it, it's easy. But the needle that shows you how close your instrument is tune likes to not that accurate or fast. It might take over a second for the tuner to recognize what note it is, and the needle will jump from side to side

Overall:
I definately would not reccomend buying this product. 'Qwiktune' is a lie, it takes a while to tune due to the needle flopping around and it being a bit slow. I would reccomend you buy a KORG tuner, they are the best, and I do believe the cheapest model is only $15, and it works great. I use one now and I love it, it can do alot more than this tuner.

Feature:
I can tune my guitar at least.

Quality:
It is so little and cheap i can't tell when it will break.

Value:
Yes because it is only $10.00 and it is only worth about $8.00 to me.

Desirability:
It looks perfect.

Sound:
the automatic pitch pipe doesn't sound like it is real.

Support:
They were supper nice because I bought it at my local music store.

Overall:
I expect it won't last forever so I already got a new Fender tuner with a metronome on it.

Feature:
This tuner come up with a screen telling u what sting is low or high, and has its own sound button that is an example of how each string should sound like.

Quality:
plastic lol

Value:
not bad i guess

Ease of Use:
sometimes it mistakes a string for another string, even when its well tuned, but its not too bad.

Overall:
overall its an easy simple tuner.

Feature:
Well it did come with batteries, LOL!!

Quality:
I've dropped it a bunch of times, it still seems completely functional.

Value:
You get what you pay for. I would run out and buy another one, but for the asking price it is a pretty good buy for beginners.

Desirability:
Looks nice. However, when you try to use it in loud situations you kind'a look foolish because it takes a while to tune with it. Oh yeah, you look even more foolish if someone is tuning up right beside you, for the meter mic will hear it.

Sound:
The pitch pipe is kind'a lame, but it "does" have one.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
Good for beginners and students who will use the tuner is a quite setting. Not a tuner for gigs, or 'open mic night'.

Feature:
The pitch pipe is useless, but i like the simple on off button and nothing else, very simple and easy to use.

Quality:
It is very simple, but like i said above, tuning some strings is hard. I have had my tuner for 3 years, and it is still working fine, i dont know what some of these people are doing to their turners to have them break after 3 weeks, maybe they really are throwing them at a brick wall.

Value:
For 10 bucks, i expeced this thing to work horribly. i thought it would be easier to tune it by ear, but i was wrong.

Desirability:
VERY CHEAP, VERY SIMPLE, AND VERY ACCURATE!

Sound:
once you get it tuned in it is very nice sounding.

Ease of Use:
Tuning the top 3 strings is easy as pie, but when you get into the higher pitched strings it can get very aggrivating, as the tuner will switch from low E, to G, to B, very quickly so it becomes hard to tune. but if you have a couple of free minutes to work with it, you still get all the strings in tune perfectly.

Support:
I only put down five because ive never had to work with them, but if i did i probably wouldnt even call them because the thing is so cheap it would be easier just to buy a new one.

Overall:
Like i said, i've had this for 3 years, but my guitar has the best tuners on it, so i dont have to tune very often, so i expect to hace it for 2 to 4 more years. After it breaks i will probably spend 20 dollars on one that is slightly better. my friends have more expencive tuners, (like 50 bucks) and i have used them but they are way to complicated, this thing for 40 bucks less is much better.
