Great price. More power than you'll ever need in the house. Effects included. I have no experience with this amp, but it doesn't sound like you'd need a whole lot more for around the house. If you pick this up, please be sure to give us a report.

I´ve tried one of these at a local shop. It sounds as an electric guitar amp, really awful.

I ended buying a Marshall AS 100 D, it sounds much better.

The boys in the music store that I frequent put it like this... " that brand has a limited lifespan " ...

Behringer gets a bad rap for soooo many reasons...
But that one does have 2 input channels so that would be handy.
I had a 'Vintager' AC112 with only one input channel, It was alright.
(It had way too many presets)
But if you get it from somewhere with an good return policy you can always send it back. :D

You might be a lot happier with a Crate. The 30W sounds quite good, and the 60 is killer. The 30W is pretty close to the price of the Behringer.

Behringer has a bad rep for reliability. When I bought a small mixer, the salesperson said there was a 50/50 chance I'd have to return it. Yep, it had to be returned! Behringer seems to strive for the cheap price point, and you tend not to get more than you pay for.
