The cheapest option for a reason
I can confirm that it's quite difficult to close the battery compartment when there's a battery in it - that gives a good idea of the overall quality. Usable for practice with the overdrive (the clean channel is fully useless), but if you want an affordable very light amp that can work on batteries, I recommend the Joyo one, much better value for money.

Inexpensive, battery powered, inexpensive, very portable, and inexpensive
This tiny amplifier is a VERY close copy of the Marshall MS-2, cosmetically, and electronically. The circuit is almost identical, using a LA4140 power amp IC driving a 8 Ohm 3 inch speaker. Three identically functioning knobs and a rear mounted pocket clip. Construction is very much in line with the price, rigid injection molded plastic. Sound is pretty one dimensional, lo-fi and distorted and not much more. The Power knob is a three position switch, Off, On, and OD, presumably for "Overdrive". The On position is somewhat clean-ish at best. The OD position is pretty distorted. The amp is fairly quiet overall, even inOD mode with the volume cranked. Loud enough to annoy a roommate, but that's about all. The On setting I find not very useful. Better to just use OD, crank the Volume control all the way up, and use the guitar's volume control to control the amount of distortion-simple and effective. The Tone knob isn't all that useful. Despite the published rating of 5 Watts, this amp is nowhere near that. Maybe 0.5 Watts at most, fully distorted. Versatile this amp is not. It does one thing. And it does it cheaply. That's what you pay for, and that's what you'll get. Whether that one thing is useful is entirely up to you. If you're in the market for the Marshall MS-2, buy this one instead. If you're looking for a tiny bit more versatility and clean sounds to drive a small loudspeaker, you'll have to look elsewhere and probably have to pay significantly more.

Just bad
The amp Which is just a little amp i will be using for a few months until i get back home, where i will store this and use it sometimes going outside and attach it to my guitar strap.
The sound overall is Okay, for the few bucks you can get it for it sounds good, there are not real features, and the overdrive is very poor when you do not want to blast out your own ears while it is hooked onto your guitar strap.
Pro's:
-Small size
-Battery life is pretty good
Con's:
-sound is pretty okay but not great.
-feels cheap
Would i recommend it? Depends, if you are just going to use it as a fun little amp you can easily take with you to amuse some friends, yeah sure, as a little practice amp you can take on the road? No, you're better off getting a Boss Katana Air in that case.

Decent gadget
Of course the sound is not good, but that wasn't even expected from a product of this range.
If you need to have something cheap and small just to get some sound out of your guitar, this is a cool gimmick.
Cheaper than all the other battery amps, so I would recommend it over the Marshall, Fender, EVH and similar products.

Not fully tried out
This Amplifier worked OK when I tried it but was not suitable for the purpose I got it for.

Okay.
I wanted a mini-amp like this one to save me dragging my amp around the house when I wanted to practice in a different room or outside. Didn't expect much from it for the price. The sound quality obviously isn't great but I don't think anyone would buy this expecting it to be. Very easy to use and lightweight. Overdrive works better than clean setting.

Cheapest amp...
It has a build in "Overdrive" but it feels like just turning your tome nob fully open but, I liked the quality... it is well made and i feel like it will not fall apart after a week of using.

This really small and cheap amp is good for getting a little sound from your electric guitar, but nothing more than that. You can´t expect a great sound from such a small unit. This is basically what you get, a little sound from your guitar. It´s really nice though to be able to switch to overdrive for some funky sound. It´s also nice that you can either run it by a battery or plug it in. I decided to try this as this was such a cheap unit, and it´s quite fun.
