I have one and they work fine, Well liked by detailers too.
But to be honest I am going to go back to a clay bar as I like to see the crud collecting on it . You don't get that with the mitt.

yes i use one in my line of work,ideal for large panels etc,but use a clay bar round tight spaces...i use one of these....no need to use the lube though,just use warm soapy water instead and save yourself money.

I have a Farcela Clay Mitt as well and i am very pleased with the results although i use the Farcela G3 detailer as lube and it gives excellent results.
