I chose this because I have a tuner which is crap (but still works... I'll pop it in with the 12 string acoustic) and I needed something a bit more robust for the plug in instruments.
I'd buy it again, but I'd hope to not have to...
Tuning mode has three settings in bass or guitar mode - 'Regular, Flat or Double Flat'. Regular is... well... regular... EADG. Double flat tunes in down a whole tone (DGCF.
It defaults to concert pitch (440Hz) - but you can change this by playing with the 'Cent' button (from 438 to 447Hz - not a huge range for professional musicians perhaps - But I didn't give a rats arse about this aspect of tuning... I wanted something simple...!)

It has a footswitch on/off switch - very standard in these pedals... can be ac or battery powered.
Works very easily and basic - three settings - chromatic (the default setting), guitar or bass.
The LED indicates the string number if you use it in 'guitar' or 'bass' mode, and shows the note in chromatic mode.
It doesn't really make any difference to sound, except (rather importantly) to ensure you are in tune. I use this tuner with a couple of Fender Precisions, which don't go out of tune much.
Is very easy - you just plug in, swith on and it lights up. Strike a note and it tells you what you're playing and if you're flat or sharp. Nice green lights tell you if you're bang on the money.
Behringer is known for making inexpensive German-designed, Chinese-made musical instruments and accessories.
Never used it live, I'm usually dead when I turn it on.
The bottom of the unit is metal/ rubber and the top is a sturdy plastic design. I can't see it breaking any time soon, but I also can't see me jumping on it or dropping it out a high window either.
