Pretty good for small size Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I added this to an HRO order a while back to qualify for "Free Shipping..." It sat in the drawer for the longest time until I looked at a couple of reviews here on Eham.
Just got off the local '79 repeater using flea power and this antenna: Was pleasantly surprised to see how well it works.

My new favorite antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I bought it for my Yaesu VX-6E. I'm pleasantly surprised that for repeaters it has virtually the same performance as the stock antenna. My Diamond SRH 701 is punchier in 70cm band but for 2m I notice no difference.
I can open and receive the repeaters around me, even as far as 25km on 70cm and 40km on 2m!
On simplex around the neighborhood the TX/RX performance is low. Reach is less than 500m with thick concrete houses inbetween. This matches my expectation and goal.
Airband performance is very good. It even receives on HF band.
With this antenna my VX-6E is now just a little bit taller than my iPhone 11.
It is now my always-on antenna. Very happy with it.

Not that good Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
SWR measurements on analyser shows good on VHF but bad on UHF. To be used with very low power for short distance comm.

Best stubby on the market Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hands down the best stubby on the market. I've used it with both my Yaesu FT-60 and my FT-70. Performance is excellent for a super short, super flexible antenna.

I use it exclusively for close-in work where a full size antenna is not needed. It's great for tower work/repeater site work. Comes in handy at an event where range is not an issue i. e. hamfests. That being said it does perform well for its size.

I will reiterate the previous review: As with all HT antennas, it does warm up if you hammer it with 5 watts for extended periods. However, it runs fantastic on the half watt setting.

If you're in the market for a stubby antenna with flexibility and performance, look no further.

Best Ultra short antenna I used Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Very good antenna, works well in UHF, pretty good in VHF.
Very well built and very flexible. Much better than Maldol SMA209.
The only issue is than after few minutes in tx with 5w it becomes hot. 5w is max power raccomended so is better to use it with less power
