Not bad but...
The good:
Processing power is good, on par with its rivals of its generation. It's aesthetically pleasing with its all aluminum body. Onboard speakers are also great as they're stereo and located on the front where the home button would normally resides, not in the back where you'd usually cover it with your hands. This seems to be the norm for HTC in general.
The bad:
The aluminum body is smooth and therefore slippery. It is also prone to scratches and marring though not any moreso than a plastic one. It is just more apparent when it's no longer pristine and looks worse than a comparably dinged up plastic phone. A case resolves this but one of the selling points of the M series is the thin form factor.
The camera is not great compared to its competition. It's unusable in less than optimal light and still a bit grainy in ideal conditions.
Battery life is poor but I can only speak of it as a used phone. You'll only be buying these used anyway. I would not buy it again given what I know now. The battery is like an iPhone in that it's not exactly user replaceable. Yes you can replace it but the battery is sandwiched between the chassis and the actual motherboard. On a scale of 1-10, it's at a 8-9, 10 being hardest. You're welcome to search it and see if it's a project you're willing to tackle. Also if you're not careful, the case can be bent, particularly around the SIM or SD card slots. If you already plan on using it with an external pack or battery case then it's a non-issue other than the added bulk of carrying either.
Do your due diligence if you plan on rooting it. VZ locks their bootloader and the only way to unlock it is to pay a fee. You cannot unlock it from HTC's site like you would other HTC devices.
I'm sure it was great when it was brand new but with the design flaws of the M8 after a few years, it's not a great buy if you were looking for an older top tier phone on the cheap. Look at a S4 or S5. Both will have user replaceable batteries that require no tools, have better cameras and comparable speed/power.

Great torch
I only use this attachment for food. For food where you're either developing a crust or caramelizing sugars, this works exceedingly well. I use this as a standalone as well as with a Searzall attachment (highly recommended though expensive).
The only con I can think of is possibly the size and how much fuel it draws. This is to be expected for the amount of heat it generates.
As a comparison, for the same food duties, I used a WT2301 from the same mfr. and while it also worked, it took much much longer and was less effective in browning evenly.

Good except 1 minor drawback
Good hub, 7 top are for data but will still charge the USB 500mA spec. Have not benchmarked or loaded them up but xfers are about what I expect for the 3.0 spec. I've charged higher draw tablets with the 3 bottom "IQ" charge ports and they charge very quickly. Bottom ports are only for charging for those curious.
The only con I have is the transformer/ac box hums like it has a fan (it does not) when something is not drawing from the top data ports. It goes away if I plug something in that does draw current. Not sure if this is normal, the adapter is not warm, smell or anything else that would be cause for concern other than noise. In a quiet setting, it is hard to "unhear" it. The hub works as it should otherwise.
"Is it of good quality?" I would say yes but with the aforementioned adapter caveat.
