Sound
I bought this with several different uses, and I have come up with more since getting it. In live sound, I can use it as an EQ for a guitar. Also, I can run the main signals through my regular 31-band EQ, then into this, for two reasons: 1) I don't have the ear to know the feedback frequencies; I can pull down the FBQ800 band that is lit up, then figure out which band on the 31-band to pull down. 2) I use the 31-band for feedback; I can use the FBQ800 to shape the overall sound for the room. I want to cut the feedback with as little impact on the music as possible. Also, this has allowed me to run in stereo (with a 2nd FBQ800), so I don't necessarily have to cut both sides to solve feedback.
Since I got this, though, I use it on one input of my TV (the main input, or the DVD player), and I can do a much better job with the sound than just the 2-band (bass/treble) TV EQ. I can definitely notice the difference. I want to get two more of these just for the TV.
Features
What is great are the FBQ lights, which show which band is getting feedback, or which band is getting the activity. The thing is $60, though, so it has none of the frills of a serious EQ. Also, having both 1/4-inch and RCA inputs is a big deal.
Ease of Use
If you know how to use a graphic EQ, it's simple.
Quality
It is made of plastic, and has a cheap feel. I don't care, as long as I don't step on it. I don't know what would happen if I dropped it on a hard floor.
Value
Very definitely worth the price. I would like to buy 5-6 more.
Manufacturer Support
I have a number of Behringer products, and I have never had to deal with the company. Not that I think I won't, some day...

"Outstanding piece of gear!"

The Behringer FBQ800 is a really great piece of gear. I use it for small live sound applications with a pair of powered Mackie Thump 12 speakers and a Peavey PV8 mixer. It works exactly as advertised. If there is feedback, the appropriate slider lights up and stays RED and you slowly pull that level down until the feedback stops. It's pretty solid, but it isn't built like a tank, so it can't be tossed around and abused. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
