CHEAP AND CLEANS THE CHAIN

Price, cleans all 4 sides of the chain.
Difficult to fit, falls off and opens to spill stuff on the sofa :)
The 'clip it to yr derailleur' instruction is fiction.
OK; at least you're cleaning your chain.

RELATIVE BARGAIN

Clean horrifically dirty chains without having to take them off so saves on snap off Shimano pins.
Cheaper than Park as said below.
Really does save a fair amount of time
Citrus stuff that comes with is rubbish, Finish Line EcoTech instead in use.
Takes a while to get the knack of using it without making it fall apart or the chain fall out of it.
Might well conspire to break one day.
Has lasted a good long time. A bit of a time saver as even with a chain caked in crap, a few minutes of back pedaling will have to it good as new. For the time and effort it saves, well worth it.

CLEANS THE CHAIN

Every Bike should come with one fill the thing with cleaner. Attach to the rear mech clip shut and off you go. Five minutes later clean chain.
Bit fiddly till you get the hang of it.
Great bit of kit that takes just some of the pain of cleaning out.

CLEANS WITH SIDE EFFECTS

Gets chain very clean
Cheaper than the Park version
Always falls off the chain
Citrus cleaner you get with it it crap
It gets the chain sparkling clean when you use it with white spirit or other organic solvents so cant fault it. It does however have a tendency to fall off the chain spilling oily mess everywhere is a pain.
