tl;dr - These fairy string lights look great, are easy to put up and take down, and are more than worth the price at $6-$7 per set. The only downside is that the manual doesn't tell what the different light modes are (but I've detailed what they are below). I would highly recommend this product.
For those interested in a lot more detail, read on.
This was a very nice product and easy to install. The spool is a great tool that makes putting up the fairy lights SIGNIFICANTLY easier. I've used other fairy lights before that are just wrapped around essentially a paper towel roll or loose, and they got impossibly tangled as I tried to put them up, requiring a 2nd person just to help manage the wires. I put these lights up by myself, and it was super simple and fast, no fuss.
The lights themselves look great. I got the "warm white" lights which make for good mood lighting as it's a gentle light. Be aware that this means they are not bright enough on their own to see any of the hanging pictures clearly, really (unless you loop/layer the lights multiple times maybe). Speaking of the pictures, the photo clips are very thin and light but hold up standard 4"x6" photos perfectly well. Just be careful with handling the clips because they feel like they could break easily (but there are plenty of photo clips given anyway, so you likely wouldn't have to worry even if a few did break). If you wanted to hang a larger pic up, you might need to use 2 clips to hold it up.
The additional 10ft power cord is really nice, especially if you don't want the fairy lights to lead the way directly to the power source at night. The power cord is pretty conspicuous along the wall in the daylight, though, so you might want to "hide" it by trailing it along a room corner or behind a beam.
The only downside (and a small one at that) to this product was that there were very little instruction and next to no details in the manual about the remote and the light modes. Luckily, putting up the lights is pretty simple and straightforward, so it doesn't require much instruction anyway. It would've been really nice if they'd written down what the light modes were, though. As such, I've taken the liberty to note down the modes here for any future buyers.
Mode 1 - cycles through modes 2 through 7
Mode 2 - twinkling
Mode 3 - alternating bulbs flash
Mode 4 - alternating bulbs dimmer
Mode 5 - alternating bulbs strobe and flash
Mode 6 - all bulbs dimmer
Mode 7 - alternating bulbs strobe
Mode 8 - all bulbs on (constant light)
Mode 1 cycles through the other modes but for different intervals of time for each mode. I roughly timed the cycles, and over the course of about 3 minutes, Mode 1 seems to cycle through the following:
Mode 2 for 25 seconds
Mode 3 for 16 seconds
Mode 4 for 50 seconds
Mode 5 for 25 seconds
Mode 6 for 47 seconds
Mode 7 for 13 seconds
All in all, I would highly recommend this product for a very cute, personal gift or even just for customized light decorations.
