Xenyx 302USB : Very useful interface/mixer

Perfect for home recording - if you are happy to record with only 16bit bit depth (it will barely impact audio quality but you need to be careful with further processing of the tracks in a DAW as your 'headroom' will be more restricted than if the interface was 24bit). I use this with a dynamic microphone or a guitar in one channel, my laptop in the second channel and a synth connected tot he third channel. I also connect the outputs to my stereo amplifier. Software/drivers installation is painless, the simple EQ is nice and the controls are noiseless. There are limitations but as long as you understand them you will find a way to work around them. The build quality is super - the casing is metal and the unit is quite sturdy..The only thing I would improve is the USB cable connection is somewhat loose - on several occasions the connector has slipped out of the port.

However in summary - for the price, this is a great little unit. Well recommended.
