I have this kit. I like that the table is aluminum topped, and not MDF like others at this price point. The router accepting 1/4 and 1/2 in bits was a key sales point for me, since I have a smattering of both.

The router is pretty loud, and has obvious limitations. The two-part fence is a bit fiddly and probably my least favorite aspect. The router height adjustment is also a bit crude. Expect to do some fiddling to get modestly decent results.
Overall I feel like it's a fair deal at this price. I've used it with success for small jobs. Nothing in the kit will blow you away in quality or refinement, but it does have a lot of features and capabilities for the price.

While I agree with Violet above on a lot of the positives, I loathe this kit for the aluminum top. It's riddled with sharp edges for areas like the t-track, resulting in mars and scratches on your work pieces, and I deeply regret substituting out my nice and smooth, in-all-other-ways-worse MDF topped similar kit for this.

Agree, I bought this. Sold it a year later. Quality is not there. The Router is ok, table is terrible.
