Mini and Practical
The Orange crush mini is a great little amp for practice in a small room, with or without headphones.
It is robust, solid and great value for the price!
It has built in tuner that is accurate and excellent. It has an input for Aux mp3 or backing track and also an external line out that you can connect to an external cab/larger Wattage speaker... and it then acts as a mini head!
The 3W amp does not give you a super sound at high volume, obviously, but its feature make up for the lack of power.

Impressive performance
It's quite amazing how much power this little amp brings and the overdrive sounds delicious.
Since the pre-amp distorts almost immediately, howerver, it's almost impossible to get a clean sound with decent volume out of this.
But if you're looking for a tiny amp to carry around that will deliver some serious crunch, look no further!

Surprisingly good
Don't expect a miracle from such a small amp, but it does sound more like an amp than a small speaker. The single tone pot is not my favourite solution, but it does make sense on such a small thing. The built-in tuner is so good to have, especially if you're using this on the road – one less extra thing you could forget to bring with you.
Last but not least, the fact that it can both take a 9V battery (on which it runs for a decent amount of time) or a power supply is super convenient.
So yeah, very happy with it!

Good enough if sound quality is not a priority
I use this tiny amplifier at home for practicing with an acoustic or electric guitar, with another instrument (other person playing bass guitar) and for writing music. I would not think it could be used in the practice room because of the low wattage.
Volume is enough and the controls are just enough, although it overdrives a bit if you want a bit more volume, as gain control has to be adjusted higher in order to get more volume.
I thing it is a great advantage this amp can be used with 9V battery or pluged into the wall.
One disavantage is the sound is quite like a "radio" kind of sound because the small size; but it can be an advantage if you like that effect. The only comparison I can provide in the same category is with the Marshall MS-2 mini amp, and Orange one sound better.
I once enjoyed the combination of this little amp with an acoustic guitar, as you can mix the acoustic sound of the guitar with the amp signal and even use effects, like tremolo and reverb.
Overall this amp is very well constructed and usefull if you need your guitar to sound to practice or have fun.

Kind of weird tone adjustment, but that's standard on Orange amps
This little thing is great for throwing around. It can also get some surprising high-gain sounds. The sound-shaping middle knob takes some getting used to if you're used to 3-band or full parametric control, but definitely provides usable results.

Quite as expected
Good if you expect a cute little box to practice. +++ you can use it as cabinet head, but I haven't tried that yet

The best orange mini amp so far
The speaker is useless (good plus is speaker out for external cab) everything else is ok

It's a portable practice amp, what do you expect?
I wanted something portable, and that's what I got. Sound could be better, as these controls make it a bit difficult to get clean tone, but it's not bad by any means, and it's decently loud too. Overall, it's serviceable, the build is pretty good and you get some nice features for the money. It survived many a trip in my gig bag. Would be nice if the headphone jack was 6.3 mm tho.
