Easy to use and to carry along (I mean: really easy!). Tiny and very light! The weight comes from using plastic, but this doesn't give that "cheap" feeling. If you are looking for something portable and easy to use, then you got it. Portability and ease of setting it up are its bests pros. It is small and it is powered only via USB (which saves time and space to set it up). But.... If you are looking for some good pre amps for your home studio, start searching for another interface. These pre amps are somewhat noisy. This is a huge con of this interface. There are interfaces with better pre-amps in the same price range. It takes some time to get used on how to properly set its gains due to these noisy pre amps. In my case, it was worth the purchase because I was looking for an interface very portable and easy to set up, but not to use as a portable recorder. I think it is the best option for this purpose. And I have 2 other interfaces with way better pre amps for the more serious tasks. I leave this one in my backpack.
