"I have this product, and I'm all over it now!"
I am not a pro guitarist, in fact I would say novice to amateur, but I think this amp is great even for the best musicians in the world. It can be a nice sound-tester for your guitar backstage before the gig. It can be a practice amp at home to hone your skills. It can be many things.
Sound
I have this amp, and believe me the sound is very versatile. You can make it play clean country songs, play blues, even play metal. The sound itself is good, and very nice at 10 watts.
Features
Being small, this does not have a double-input, but the rest is enough to make a nice sound. I have used the overdrive, volume and 2 tone knobs most of all just to find a nice sound. I only got uniform sounds when I saw the different modes on the box the amp came in.
Ease of Use
It is easy if you know what knob affects what and a little trial-and-error won't hurt to get your ideal sound. If you want metal, just set the Volume to 3, all others to 10 and turn on the overdrive. Simple, even with a non-metal playing guitar like my Fender Strat.
Quality
It is nice and compact, and there even is a small hollow at the back which I put the wire that links it to the electric socket into! It is not heavy, and easy to carry. It might as well be a little larger than a guitar gig-bag.
Value
I did not buy this amp as a seperate thing, I bought it as a package in the Fender 60th Anniversary Guitar Pack. I think it is well worth the money, looking at the price tag on the box it came with.
Manufacturer Support
I have not had problems with the amp, and so did not contact them.
The Wow Factor
This may look wierd, but it is "cute" in a sense. A small little amp, yet with a variety of sounds, quite appealing to my untrained eye and probably to other master musicians too.

"a good amp for it price"
well i have another amp but im hoping tihs amp last for 2-3 years. it seems very hard to blow the speakers(ive tried) so i think ti will last long
Sound
sound is good but it is a little fuzzy on the distortion and cant hear it over the other instruments.
Features
i feel like there is not enough features for a backstage amp, because there is only high,low and distortion it wiuld be bette rif had reverb.
Quality

Value
this amp is worth the money.
