I've used them, always had good days in them when I never had to think about them again after snugging them up at the base of the climb. Prior to purchasing I had never heard of them nor found any reviews, and I was quite impressed when they showed up.
Pros: good construction, good fit (for me), warm, durable, competitive pricing, good lacing and lace locks
Cons: weight (although competitive with the LS Nepal and Scarpa Mont Blanc), and 2 problems I had with the sole. First, it had too much rocker, mostly in the heel. Although my BD crampons fit OK, it did not fit my Silvretta bindings in part due to the sole rocker (heel clip didn't fit). For reference, the LS Nepal doesn't have any rocker in the heel. Second was the sole length; it was longer than the same size LS Nepal which pushed the front points and secondary points even farther in front of my toes, and compounded the fit problems in my Silvretta bindings. Although, part of the Silvretta problem was a function of my size 48 boots (mated to an XL Silvretta binding), so if you don't use approach skis and/or have smaller feet this may not be an issue.
I got the AKUs to replace some Nepals, but have since moved on to another set of Nepals. The Silvretta problem pushed me to get rid of them.
