Curious if anyone out there owns one of these and can offer an informed opinion on its merits and pitfalls:

As the title indicates, I don't take this thing too seriously. I'm looking to turn mostly 2" or less aluminum or plastic for robotics and audio components (think knobs and such). I'm curious whether it's a decent tool for its size and inherent limitations, or if it's basically a POS.
Mind you, the biggest lathe I can possibly live with is one that I can pick up off the kitchen table and store on top of the refrigerator, so before you tell me to look at one of the larger ones, please bear that in mind
