Ive got one ( a very low end one they no longer sell). Works fine.
Read the manual, and watch the instriuctional videos. Mounting the
bit in the chuck is a little fiddly.
Mine is a fixed angle, I don't know how well the adjustable angles
work; it's about 133 degrees insted of 135, at least if my factory
bits are ground right. Doesn't matter after the first sharpening, but
it's sort of annoying the frist time.
