I have played guitar for 5 years now and have played dozens of guitars and having bought this guitar for my sister as a beginner guitar and having now played it several times myself I can say that it's a great buy for the price. The tuner is fantastic as well as being a great convenience when trying to tune in a loud environment and the sound is as good as you're going to get for a guitar in this price bracket and it feels great to play! I would highly recommend this to any beginner guitarist.
My only piece of criticism is that after some down tuning and 6 months of frequent usage, there are strong signs of fret buzz which worries me as it can be quite costly to address that problem, a problem which shouldn't be encountered so soon in a guitar. Any guitarist who plans to gig quite a bit and especially if they intend to use alternate tunings, they may find that they'd be better off with a slightly higher range guitar.
But other than that, I was relatively pleased with the overall quality of the guitar!
