I have one, and I'm very pleased with it. It has an excellent, well-defined image even in circumstances that are challenging for thermal. It is light and small enough to fit in a normal pocket and though it was advertised as "battery not included" it came with two 18650s and a charger. The button layout works well and it connects easily to my phone to use as an external screen. It is a shame that it doesn't sync its clock with the phone when connected, but it does retain the manually set time when changing batteries.
My only bug-bear is that it is not Mac compatible - if you want to get the recordings off of it you need to use a Windows machine (I haven't tried it with Linux). Bizarrely the Mac identifies it as a "Zulus" but doesn't give access to the on-board storage. I hope they'll fix that with a firmware update.

I've got the Hound, it's a good image and having the LRF is useful but...
The buttons are too proud and are easily depressed changing the palette or zoom when you don't want them altered
The lens cap and it's attachment line are absolute rubbish. I lost the original cap on the first evening, the replacement didn't last much longer. I ended up finding an over the lens rubber binocular cap off Amazon that works far better.
The battery life is poorer than stated, not a huge issue as they are easily swapped but still a bit frustrating
If it's for gentle and occasional use it would probably be okay, but I doubt very much it will last as well as my old Pulsar did and I wouldn't recommend it
