I was looking for a new mixer for bar gigs. I had previously used mostly Alto for my portable "backpack" mixers, and Yamaha for my rack mount rigs. I decided to try this Peavey. I'm pretty impressed. The form factor on this mixer is really compact. It has some features that other similar class mixers like the Yamaha MG06X or Mackie ProFXv3 don't have. Things like EQ on channels 3/4 (three knob EQ at that), the option for 3.5 mm or 1/4" input on channels 3/4, RCA or 1/4" inputs on channels 5/6, bluetooth, USB, and variable onboard effects make this a highly versatile mixer. The sound quality is pretty reasonable for a portable mixer, and the footprint is small. My only complaint would be the power supply (like many other devices of this type) has a somewhat frail cable that started fraying on me after moderate regular use (1-3 gigs per week over about 3 months). Overall, this is a very solid, and feature-packed mixer.
