Well, I can give you a detailed personal review and some professional review (I'm an optometrist).
As for professional perspective, they are one of the cheapest made lenses, the material is old and cheap, so old that only a few manufacturers work with it and no big brand work with it. Every person is different, some may find these lenses good, some won't. For those who find them good most would not find them better than other lenses, so even the good reviews are not that good, the lenses are just good for the price.
My personal experience with them is that they are ok, I mean if I had to wear lenses for a party or a concert or go out to watch a movie, they are fine, but not for all the day.
What lenses are you using now? I could give you a hint about what lenses to try or something.
If you want I will write a detailed personal review too. I've tried a lot of lenses.

Do not reuse daily lenses!
Do not sleep or shower with contacts that are not built for that.

Another good brand I used... they used to be cheaper and they once had all powers available.
They are the same material as Acuvue Moist and Hydro is even the same BC.
They are cheaper than Acuvue, used to be even cheaper.
Maxvue Daily Disposable
Hydrosoft 1 Day - I also tried them, I know they are available in the UK under different names (The manufacturer is Maxvue Malaysia). They are nice, Crystal is better for me, but some friends say Hydrosoft can last longer. Maxvue also have silicon hydrogel lenses called Airsoft, I didn't try them (they are new and unfortunately doesn't have astigmatism correction), I tired their monthlies and didn't like.
The company I work for will start importing them soon so I will have free trials. Will probably try them.
I used to try everything available just to compare how I feel with them. Unfortunate for me I have a complexed prescription and sensitive eyes so need really expensive lenses for the best fitting possible (Mark'ennovy are great), but I tested everything available in the market just for the fun of it. As someone who work as a distributor that really help promoting our products and optometrists like my honesty when I don't try to convince our product is better but just give a honest review in comparison to other brands what is my experience with each of them.
