Good stuff
I bought the pedal to fight noise coming from Volume and Gain/Drive knobs on the distortion and overdrive pedals I am using, as well as to kill some of the hum going to the amp from the guitar single coils.
The pedal is doing its job well for the above stated, the noise from distortion is killed off promptly.
In some regards, it is working even too well, because no matter where I put it in the chain, it is killing the effect of the tremolo and delay pedals, so I am forced to use those effects without a noise gate - not the most terrible thing. Another thing that could be a little more nuanced/sensitive is the Decay knob, which could allow the sound to last longer without the accompanying noise in the background.

Solid build and great value for the price
Was looking for a noise gate to control some of the extra noise generated from gain pedals during breaks.
This is in the re-housed Behrenger series of TC Electronic, sub-50 Euro pedals. Like other in the same price category this is really solidly built with a metal housing, large controls and sturdy switch. Also like those other pedals this is an engage on release type, not a click switch.
Two controls, threshold to set at what input level the gate is activated and a delay control to control the fade-off when the gate is activated.
Works very well, just set the threshold to when the background noise starts to kick in, dial in the delay knob to taste and that's it. A nice feature is the LED lamp dims slightly when the input signal is being passed through and brightens when the gate is active. Excellent value for the price and robust construction.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
It's a noise gate, what more can i say really?
Very simple to dial in, the gate kicks in very quickly when you have the Decay to the tightest setting and the Threshold is super easy to find with the LED indicator.
It's built like a tank and costs next to nothing, the only slight drawback in my eyes is its pretty bulky, besides my Wah pedal its the biggest pedal on my board which seems kinda strange considering it is just a noise gate.

Great product!
I bought this product as I needed a simple noise gate. This pedal is idiot proof: it only has two controls, threshold and decay which are easy to dial in as the action is very smooth. It does not affect sustain too much. The pedal is built into a heavy metal box and gives a sturdy impression.

Simple and effective
This is my first noise gate pedal. It works great. I won't be testing other noise gates any time soon as this does what I want.

A decent entry level gate
Lacks some of the feature of more expensive gates such as send/return loop but does work quite well once you figure it out and it looks great and is well built/sturdy and built to last. Pleased i bought it.

Great quality as usual from tc electronic. Simple but powerful noise gate. Recommended.

Efficient noise gate
My first noise gate, and it does the job very well. Two controls, easy to dial in, the LED flashes when the effect is engaged.
But before you choose your noise gate, pay attention to the size of the thing. I guess for cost efficiency, they designed the gate to be in the same enclosure as other TC pedals, but compared to other gates, it takes a lot of room on pedalboard. But if it's ok for you, then go ahead.

It really is a noise gate
Does what it is intended to do.
For me it sounds like it changes the tone of the sound a little too much.
Otherwise it is a very good noise gate for the price.

Simple and effective
Works perfect even at a low dB regulation.
Tryed it out after a series of 3 overdrives and it did not complain.
For its price, is a winner.
The decay could regulate same fading for less abrupt resuming of the "curtain".
The worst part of this fella is his size. There is not much going on inside this pedal. A couple of transistors and an empty ball room with place for a 9V block to dance alone.
