I only have this flash for few days.
I currently own Canon 580EX-II and 420EX, so this will be my 3rd flash to complete my home studio.
This flash, in general speaking is BETTER than average.
Do I recommend it? Such a features flash for under 100... YES.
Pro:
ETTL works with my Canon XSi. (The Amber light ETTL will light if it's on)
Manual power output: From 1/1 to 1/16
Zoom head: From 24mm to 85mm
Auto off: The "OFF" will display on the LCD. Press any button to active it
Slave mode: Work perfect together with my Canon 580EX-II
Body material: Feel like those of Canon Speedlite flashs
Con:
Battery door feel like a toy once it open, very "loose".
Those soft rubber buttons, it's ok but "too silence". I prefer a little "click" on Canon 580EX-II.
The Diffuser plate looks cheap compare to Canon 580EX-II
No green LED light after each good shoot, only the "OK" flash up on the LCD display.
Illuminated LCD looks cheap. It makes me remember those LCD watch in the 80's.
Noise: Motor zoom head and recycle time, but not too bad.
Other:
The Bounce & swivel head do not require to press any lock button.

This flash is a steel, I give it a 5 based on price. You can pay more but I doubt you'll do much better. It was recognized by my camera right away in the E-TTL mode. It works great with my rechargeable batteries. I'm using it on my Canon S5IS. I'm getting great results. You quickly learn how to bounce the flash off white ceilings. My favorite feature is the two built in flash reflector and / or the diffuser. It's great because you'll never misplace these items. I also like the flexibility of the swivel in all directions, it allows me to take some great angles.
