Yes, it is great. I use it all the time! Mostly for cleaning, but I do like the tweaks it has. Defiantly worth it.
used it quite a bit,
as far as it's usefulness, it's debatable, I think it's claims of tidying up your disk and such like is exaggerated.

Nicest thing about Onyx is that if you don't like it they will cheerfully refund your money
I've used OnyX for a long time and completely love it. It consistently saves Macs I encounter from slowness. Especially after a major system upgrade for example, a lot of the sluggishness in Mavericks was fixed after I ran OnyX. No clean install necessary.
I wouldn't necessarily say it saves hard drive space. It's just a GUI frontend to a bunch of utilities that clear caches, verify your hard drive, repair permissions, clear out corrupted preference files, and a bunch of other stuff that you may or may not want to do. I avoid apps that claim to "clean" your drive; they typically clean too much.
