I have tried one, at Guitar Showcase in San Jose, CA. The guy in the video above is making quite a few exaggerations. It does not have great low end as he described. The volume is not great, even at 7 watts. From what I have read, watts does not always equate to volume. Notice in the video that he has the amp mic'd up, giving it a false impression that it is loud. At best, it can only be used in your bedroom. Don't expect to gig with it. He states it is not a toy. My impression was that it felt like a toy. It is made with a cheap plastic housing.
On the plus side, the price was right at $99. It is extremely portable, runs off batteries, and has great tone at the acoustic and electric settings.
I ended up buying the Roland Mobile Cube instead. Almost double the price, but has more functionality, does not feel like a toy, and has sufficient volume for my needs.
So you need to decide exactly what you want, and then pick the right amp for the job.
