Liking my $16 5-in-1 Reflector

I'm on the hunt for a reflector myself... but I'm not sure that I can bring myself to buy something this cheap. The others I've seen are at least $50, upwards of $100 for a decent one. It has tons of reviews on Amazon though, and a few of you here have it, so maybe I can save $80 or so and get this reflector.

Will this be decent for interview lighting?
 
Never been a fan of 5-in-1 reflectors as the covers are not as taut as the standard two-sided reflectors.

Besides some special effects I also don't find many uses for gold reflectors, & prefer the standard silver/white.

It's been a long time since I purchased pop-up reflectors, & I still transport a wide variety of sizes, but much prefer bead-board with soft-silver Roscoe glued on one side. When I did purchase pop-ups I chose them based on the texture, & reflectivity, of the silver side. Some are far too reflective, & I prefer a softer surface.

4x8' sheets of bead-board can be hard to find in many markets, but slightly thinner 2x4' pieces (my favorite size) are often available at box stores, & Roscoe soft silver is available by the yard from Expendables Recycler.
