Revo has some nice features, like scanning your registry for entries left behind when a program is uninstalled. It's implementation of this particular feature is rather flawed, unfortunately. It's scanning methods are rather primitive (those that entail searching for the uninstalled program's name in your registry) and can frequently turn up non-related registry entries. As such, you need to painstakingly go through each and every entry, file or folder to make sure it's not accidentally deleting something important or something that it shouldn't.

Revo is a nifty tool in concept, but in practice for me, it was more of a headache.
