Don't buy this one. I bought one just like that, maybe the same one, I think mine is blue can't remember. It's pretty much junk. Looks just like the one in your link though, case and all, but different color. If you only need it say once, then maybe not a bad deal, but if you plan on using it, stay away. It's difficult to push in, not a smooth action, which causes it to slip off of your mark. The fence on it is garbage to say the least. It also does not make the depth of cut accurate and biscuits are a pain to get in the slot it cuts. I haven't really spent the time to figure out what the problem is though other than all of the adjustments are junk. This was the first "no name" tool I've ever purchased and won't ever be fooled again. I'm going to buy the dewalt joiner and be done with it. It's the one my dad bought and loves it. You can usually find reman. ones and good deals and they'll have a warranty with them. I bought my router that way and love it and have had no problems. It has someone's initials carved in it, but oh well, I saved about $100.00 on it. So to answer your question, Yes, dealt with them, don't buy it unless you need it for a one time think and just something to get by with

Good luck with the Crown FranS. I did most of my house. I have a very good book on crown molding that I ordered from http://www.compoundmiter.com/ If you need any reference, let me know and I can probably email/post some stuff for you to look at. That is if you haven't ever done it, if you have, then you probably already know enough about it.
