A few observations:
It's quite light for a 10". As miter saws go, it's medium-loud. There's no soft start, but it's quite stable and doesn't jump resting on an assembly table. Dust collection is pathetic. Even with a dedicated vac, it only catches about 10%. I improvised some 'cheeks' on either side of the blade housing, and that got dust collection up to about 60%, but IMO, the only way to run this thing is outside or with the doors wide open. I don't know why the round dust port narrows to a slit behind the blade, but as far as I can tell, that just allows it to clog itself with wood shreds while most of the fine dust sprays out beneath the port to either side as the blade enters the cut.
For the value, and for power and accuracy of cuts, for the portability, this thing is 5 stars. Taking into account dust collection, since that's important for an enclosed shop, I'd give it 3 stars. On a budget, if you can live with the dust going everywhere, I don't think you can get a more reliable saw. You're going to have to spend 4x as much (or more) for very good dust collection on a miter saw.
I knew all this when I purchased mine. I paid about $125, and I'm very happy with it. No regrets that I didn't wait, and if I upgrade later, I'll keep this one for mobile work.
Footnote for those wondering about using it for metal cutting - it spins a little too fast for optimal metal-cutting, and again, chip collection will be abysmal.

Or is it only to make short cuts?
(Thinking about learning floor DYI install if tools are not too expensive)
This isn't a deal. It's a $95 miter at best. For the same price, you could get a Chicago Electric 10" Sliding Miter Saw at Harbor Freight. [harborfreight.com]
Both cheap miter saws, but at least you would be getting more for your money. You can get decent Metabo miter saws, but this one isn't it.

My dad has one too as well as a Metabo hammer drill. Same experience. Used to be "Hitachi Power Tools" I believe (hence the HPT they sometimes use in their label)
How would you cut along a long board with this? Seems like the board would have nowhere to go as the saw's hinge would be in the way, no?
