Reviews overview
Disadvantages
This is what other customers say:
Used for 6 months. Assisted breaking can be a bit to aggressive on older sports ropes. Assisted breaking is great when bringing up a heavy second on 1/2 ropes when guide mode is not appropriate. Abseiling I found assisted mode to grippy but normal mode worked fine.
You have to think twice about which mode you are in and how you have the device orientated so not suitable for everyone.

Fantastic light belay device, brilliant on bottom or top belay.
For comfort It does stick / brake very quickly…. It also catches quick when paying out so really needs attention, anticipation for lead climbers comfort
