I recall checking that out a long time back. It's mostly noise reduction, if I recall, not something that would remove the more subtle impacts of the room (reverb, reflections, comb filtering, harshness, etc), unless I'm mis-remembering. The amazing state of the art for noise reduction these days is iZotope RX, which is quite pricy in its full version, ($1000), but they just released an "Elements" version for $129. I'd be surprised if it didn't beat anything else on the market for anything near the price; I view RX as indispensable for those of us with less than perfect environments, even at full price.

One thing also worth thinking about tho, is that for $99 or whatever, you can easily have at least 2 broadband absorbers, and more if you are DIY-inclined, and those will do more to fix the impact of bad room acoustics than any post-processing can do.
