Well Bat,
At 300$ it's a bargain, but don't expect miracles .
It's ok for turning and milling plastics, wood and aluminum (if it's no to heavy or complicated stuff). Also don't expect it to be accurate to 0.01mm (you can get 0.1 tolerance with the necesarry care).
If you want to do more difficult stuff and also steel, Stainless steel and other demanding things, you should be looking into better (more expensive ) equipment like for instance Proxxon or take a look at this site http://www.flexistep.nl/flexitool/

I've got one and I'm quite happy with it. I agree to what crossbow said but honestly I couldn't afford (spacewise) something different from it. The price is not bad at all too. If you can check if the motor(s) is working well it would be nice...
