Some of the more expensive ones have descent faderrs but compared to a vestax or rane they still wont last. I had one and the fader was gone after 3 months. I woudlnt bother personnally

the rule with Gemini mixers goes as this 
 
the UMX series are some of the best bang for your buck mixers out there. 
 
the rest are pov 
 
unfortunately Gemini has discontinued the UMX line, but off the net you can still pick them up new and there are heaps off ebay...im taking like 100USD for a UMX5 thats pretty kick ass.

From what I've heard about the Gemini Mixers, you'd better just keep your $$$ and continue to save for a better mixer (i.e. Vestax)

i got a gemini ps-626 pro II. had it 18 months,cleaned the crossfader one and it's still rocking strong. i've noticed tho,and my mate did warn me,that the eq pots wouldn't last long. i'm having a bit of leakage with the bass pot,but a 3 channel mixer with split cue and 3 band eq....all for £160 all that time ago, can't be bad. 
 
however i would suggest a vestax mixer if you have some more money to spend.
