I have had this product for a few years. It seemed at a reasonable price although the handle and the back straightedge piece is a bit bulky with weird designo-curves. The legs are strange and also have useless bulky designer-curves. The box showed a straightedge with both inches and centimeters, a big plus.
However this cutter never cuts straight, as the plastic straightedge is at a very small off angle. So I use it only by eyeing the cutting line at the cutting edge itself. If there is something unimportant, I may use the straightedge but this never gives a true 90 degree angle.
The problem, I think, is in that when you lift the guilotine knife, it bends and torques the back mechanism. So the unit isn't built solid.
Useful for low end projects. Main straightedge in the back isn't straight, resulting in off-angled cuts. I sometimes had ok results with the T-straightedge, but it is a bit flimsy.
Numbers cast into the main straightedge are also very hard to read. I wiped a little bit of gesso on my unit so I could read the numbers.
