Good for the price
The hinges are not as tough as in my Fender or Planet Waves tuners but the spring clip is. During the first couple of days something inside it made a faint buzzing sound when I played certain notes but this has stopped now.
Sometimes it hesitates for one or two seconds before registering the note but that is resolved if it's clipped somewhere else on the headstock. The on/off switch is situated at a convenient place. The screen is large and bright.
The luminous needles on the screen show the pitch with enough accuracy but not as finely as the Planet Waves (three times the price) or the Fender (twice the price). However the display is precise enough to set an intonation if I also listen carefully.
I trust my other tuners a little more but it can be done with this one, too. At times it does not display the right note, say an A instead of an E, but it indicates the right pitch anyway, I guess it mixes up some harmonics but it doesn't matter, and other tuners also do that sometimes. The letters are big and bright.
I like the satin but not toyish bright color, and the plastic is not slippery. It works with my bass, too, without having to change the mode. I keep it on my desk all the time because not all my guitars have their own tuner. For only 7 euros battery included I'm happy with it.
Edit: I pulled the battery out and rubbed both sides on rough fabric for a minute. Put it back in and the digital needle doesn't fluctuate anymore. Seems that a greasy film or some oxidation on the battery reduced the power coming out of it.

Nice clear display
Very clear display and precise tuning. The only downside is the plastic mount is a bit thin, and will need a bit of care not to break it. Good value though!

Pretty cool
The workmanship is good, the tuner is covered with a pleasant matte finish, perfectly hits the notes. Color. Excellent, 5!

Simple and Efficient
It is relatively well built, the screen angle is adjustable and it works for several instruments (we have used it for electric guitar and ukulele). This kind of tuners work using vibrations instead of sound, so it is ideal for a loud environment. The price is right. Totally recommend.

Didn't expect this quality!
For such a low price, and such high quality workmanship - just amazing! Rubberized nice case, measurement accuracy, very beautiful display! I regret that I only bought one.

Cheap and easy to use.
Very good and easy to use. Cheap price and it does the job very well. You can even tune different instruments with a press of a button.

Dead by Day Two
It looks a nice design, and it did what it should do quite well I thought during Day One, but the LED window broke on Day Two after a very light knock against it and now it is entirely inoperable so it goes in the bin. Unfortunately in the world of guitar players things have to be more robust than that.

Nice little tuner
Giving me no issues at all with tuning my guitar, very portable due to it's very small size and comfortably can be attached onto the guitar to keep your hands free. :)

Might need more
Clip on tuners are like lighters nowadays for me. Either they break, run out, get lost or get taken by well wishing friends who just clipped it on their headstock to tune up and then take it home without knowing.
When I saw Tomann did an affordable clip on, I put 5 in the basket straight away knowing I realistically did need that many. I since dropped it down to 3 for now.
No real rating to give them except they work fine. Battery is included. It has a cents counter for tuning and the build isn't too flimsy.
Happy enough for now until they all go missing again.
