When I assembled the product, it didn't look like what I ordered. In fact, the lens cover size clearly told me that there was a mix and match with another model while packaging. The whole gadget is rendered useless.

I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a first time telescope. There are certainly some limitations, as expected for the very reasonable price point, but spending more for something you may or may not end up making a part of your life makes little sense. If I continue to make use of the telescope as a long term hobby, I will want to upgrade to a more sophisticated model, but that should not deter a first timer from making this their choice.
