Look at this pedal. Look at what it does, and what it costs. $30 for a tuner in a pedal form factor, and that's if you don't even try to hunt down a lower price. By contrast, Boss's TU-2 is essentially the same thing in a more durable housing, and it costs $100 retail.
Yes, the housing is made of plastic. I don't know about you, but I generally won't be leaping with both feet onto my tuner in the middle of a set. If you treat your gear with any respect whatsoever, it should survive. And if it doesn't, so what? It's cheap to replace.
The other person on here obviously got a faulty model, which happens. Mine's developed a touchy input jack over time (it's actually the earlier TU-100 model), but I don't know that it's totally unexpected on a pedal this cheap. One star off for these kinds of quality control problems, just to be fair. I own three other Behringer pedals as well, and they're still going strong.
A tuner is an essential part of any musician's rig, and this does the job just fine. Use the money you save towards buying a really nice stompbox that will actually affect your sound while playing.
UPDATE: After having used a new tuning pedal for some time, I will admit that, yes, this is a subpar tuner. However, I still stand by my original opinion that for the amount of money you pay, this isn't a bad investment. For a guitarist just starting out, this would still make a good first tuner when you really want to spend your money on pedals that will affect your sound.

For the gigging guitarist or bassist, the CHROMATIC TUNER TU300 is an essential piece of gear, making sure you stay in tune whether you're in standard, drop-tuned, or in any variety of alternate tunings.

Sing A Different Tune Most guitarists and bassists tune to standard tuning: (low to high) E, A, D, G, B, E for guitar, and E, A, D, G for bass. Still others like to detune their instruments for access to lower notes and increased string flexibility. No matter what you prefer, the TU300 can accommodate.
This crucial stomp box gives you three guitar modes (regular, flat, double flat), three bass modes (regular, flat, double flat) and a chromatic setting.Whether you stay in standard tuning, detune, or tune to an exotic tuning of your own design, the TU300 will get you there quickly and accurately.
It's Easy! To begin tuning, simply stomp the TU300's footswitch. It features a precise single-digit LED display to tell you what note it's reading, and the 11-point stream guarantees accurate tuning from 438 Hz to 447 Hz. Plus it is bright enough to help you tune up in even the darkest club.
The main OUT allows you to cut the signal to your amp while you tune, or you can send a constant signal from the BYPASS output.
Dependable Operation The status LED tells you when this box is activated and the solid electronic on/off switch maintains incredible signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power this pedal with a 9 V battery or a DC power supply.
