Your mileage will vary, obviously, but for me
Pluses: Really good instruction, I appreciated that each workout had a warm-up and cool down (why do so many kettlebell people omit this?) and that there was some variety to that (ie. not the same for each workout). I really liked Michael Skogg's on-screen presence - it was low-key, but motivating. The music seemed appropriate and didn't annoy me. I also like that Level 1 of the system is appropriate for people at a lower level of skill and fitness, because that's really uncommon for traditional-style kettlebell workouts.
Minuses: I got bored of the format very quickly, and couldn't get that far into a rotation over several attempts because I would burn out on the whole thing. When you get down to it, you're doing workouts pretty much every day that are variations on the same six moves, and that turned out to be not nearly enough variety for me.
Context: I prefer traditional kettlebell workouts, and don't need the instructor to be very perky, but they have to have some personality. I enjoy Lauren Brooks and Anthony Deluglio, but find most of their stuff too advanced to use as presented. I found Andrea Ducane too dour.
One of my most used workouts of all time is the 12/13 minute long workout on Lauren Brooks first DVD, which I can use over and over again without getting bored of it. I also have used Tracy Reifkind's swing workouts, which are just swinging over and over again and while I got bored of them eventually, it happened less quickly than with the Skogg system.
Verdict: Ultimately, while I really like Michael Skogg, I wish I had been able to just buy the instructional DVD, because I learned a lot from it and have no regrets about having purchased that, but the rest of the system ended up being a bit of a waste for me. If I'm honest, I regret the purchase.
