I think this will be a toy like when you were a kid, you wanted it SOOO
bad and when you got it, you played with it for 3-4 hrs and never used it
again. I could be wrong but there is only so much you can do with it and
most of it you need a big open space which you can use it safely and wont
get into trouble.

Its cheaper than buying a full out dyno. Still cheaper than one of those
mountable dyno's. For the money, its worth it. 
It is easy to use but there is one thing you will want to know before you
use it. How much does your car weigh. Find this out first, its important
in getting accurate readings.
The key in getting an accurate number on any test is to do many tests.
Write the results down and then figure out an average. (Obviously, if you
miss a shift, don't use the result.) Also you can get different results
from driving the car differently. Figure out which works best for your
car and use that technique for the tests. 
HTH!
