I have one of those units in my basement, not in my garage/shop. It was on sale for $25 last month and they were $40 a few months ago. So far its been working as promised - instant on is nice.
Pros - cost, light output, and size (low profile)
Cons - not a standard 48" bulb, 4000k light output, no shield for the bulbs
Personally I use regular dual 48" flourescent fixtures in my shop - have 6 in a 2 car garage and it works well. I used a combination of 5000k and 6500k bulbs for getting proper light for detailing and it is bright enough for 90% of the work I do.
