Superb piece of gear
What you need to manage Eurorack-type signal levels and provide an excellent mixing and recording platform.
I'd have loved to have the splitting jack adaptors to be included.
You need to watch out for the type of cables you use as the jacks are very close to each other.

12 channel recorder in a compact package
Before getting the bluebox, if I wanted to record a jam or similar, I needed to plug all the synths into my line mixer, fire up the daw, set up a session, etc etc.
With this, I literally wake it up and hit record. Brilliant box, massive timesaver and means I can record whatever I'm doing whenever I want.
Sound quality is good, haven't had any noise issues. The supplied microSD card needs replacing, and the new firmware allows you to use it as an interface, which is insane for the price. It takes up very little room too, which was a huge bonus.
Be warned about the cable size though - the cheap cordial cables I bought needed cutting down in order to get them to fit properly!

great digital mixer and recorder for mobile setup
Had just one pretty bad issue with it, when using another power supply - the device froze after ~1h of being on and super loud noise was going from the main output. Make sure to use native power supply.
Using it for my live synth setup. Works great for mixing and recording. Love the cue pre-listen functionality. Also, good that it has compressor on master and delay/reverb sends per channel. Very compact form size.

Good products
The mix is awesome. There are few improvements needed thou. Operation as midi slave is not usually behaving as it should, sometimes reacts to midi msgs sometimes not. It would be great to set the range of faders directly on bluebox as not all midi controllers allow it. But this is fixable by firmware update. And yes it get’s a bit hot. Also, it sometimes tends to freeze & reboot required. This might be tricky when using live.

Versatile mixer, build like a tank
Such a flexible piece of gear. So many routing possibilities. Like the blackbox, it's build like a tank. Very nice effects. Keep in mind: you need cables with small tips/ends (the ins and outs are very close to each other).

Amazing little box
Amazing functionality in such a small box. Sound quality instantly impressed, and while there's a fair bit of menu navigation it's quite easy to use.
The jack sockets are very close together; you won't be able to fit normal cables in but plenty of slim cables or extenders area around.

Unbelievable flexibility in such a small form factor
This little guy just replaced my 16ch mixer (8mono, 2x4 stereo) - since it can assign inputs any which way. You decide what is dual mono, what is stereo :) The FX are super easy to use, as well as the parametric EQ. Everything is assignable to MIDI CC (Learn) so with an external MIDI controller this thing comes to life even more.
The only thing that would be truly great is MIDI thru.
