I own one of these and have gotten a good bit of use out of it with M-mount and MD-mount lenses.
I am for the most part VERY impressed with it, and this discount is pretty damn good.
Auto-focus is quick and accurate. It is rather loud though, and less accurate the longer your lens is. At 40mm is is pretty quick. At 75mm it is less so, but still not slow by any means.
My two biggest complaints are that it is rather loud, and tends to drain battery even when the camera is off.
Compatibility is a7ii, a7rii, a6300, a6500, and a9. Nothing else will work.
Before anyone asks, a6000 DOES NOT work. a7 (not mark II) does not work. a7s does not work. Only the cameras listed. Older e-mount cameras wont even boot with the adapter attached.
I highly recommend this thing to anyone with some old, fully manual lenses laying around. Many of them are great glass even by today's standards.

EnderIIII second this except I actually don't mind the sound of the autofocus. The battery drain is an issue, but can be mitigated by taking out the battery and popping it back in if you plan on leaving it off for awhile (but yes - annoying, and shouldn't happen). The autofocus is pretty amazing, and works great for keeping your kit small with rangefinder lenses.
There is a hardware issue though - with time, people find that lenses attached to the adapter start to wobble because the adapter has a weak mount design.

jfourcYea, the sound isn't a deal killer, but I would not want to record video with it.
And that is the first I have heard of that hardware issue. Mine is still working without any wobble after a year or so.

EnderIII@EnderIII I completely agree although funny enough the lens I use most on this is the old Nikkor 105 f2.5 AIS with an F to M adapter which still has some pretty fast autofocus despite it's length and has produced some amazing results.
I also don't find it that loud but in comparison to the near dead silent native lenses I have I can see it seeming that way.
@jfourc I've heard about the mount issue and I bought my adapter used and use mostly long lenses on it I have seen no such evidence of it so far.
