This is what other customers say:
Fantastic light belay device, brilliant on bottom or top belay.
For comfort It does stick / brake very quickly…. It also catches quick when paying out so really needs attention, anticipation for lead climbers comfort

Been using it for a year now. The only weakness that comes to mind is that it struggles with thick ropes. Use 9.5 mm or thinner with this belay device and you should be fine.

Used for 6 months. Assisted breaking can be a bit to aggressive on older sports ropes. Assisted breaking is great when bringing up a heavy second on 1/2 ropes when guide mode is not appropriate. Abseiling I found assisted mode to grippy but normal mode worked fine.
You have to think twice about which mode you are in and how you have the device orientated so not suitable for everyone.
