Pros
None - better products out there
Cons
Do not use with iCloud Keychain - it deleted important browser data (even though I selected the ignore these files option) - I contacted support and they never replied...
Summary
There are much better free products out there....

Pros
Freed up almost 2GB
Cons
Erased the Junk Mail info in Mail
Restarts became troublesome
Summary
MacCleanse seems to have removed any information regarding what distinguishes real mail from junk mail. Now everything hits my mailbox and the computer needs to relearn the information it had been gathering for years.
To add insult to injury, my rMBP refused to boot if a certain USB drive was attached. I had to repartition the drive before the computer would reboot with it plugged in. Part of my troubleshooting was to reinstall the OS which had no effect, meaning that MacCleanse did something to a drive it was not asked analyze or modify.
I was fortunate that I received MacCleanse for free in a bundle, but if I had paid for it I would have been very upset.
Wasting an evening troubleshooting my boot problems and now having to tell Mail which emails are junk is too high a price to pay for 1.9 GB freed.
I deleted the program and feel much safer and happier for having done so.
BTW, all this was done on a 2012 rMBP running OSX 10.9.

Pros
This is a great app for keeping your Mac in tip-top shape. It is probably on the most useful applications I have on my Mac. Keeps my computer clean and gives warning when folders take up too much memory.
Cons
It will occasionally freeze my Mac and cause a reboot, but works well otherwise.

Pros
Fairly quick, easy to use, does a through job (as far as I can tell)
Cons
Does a cleaning job on all categories irregardless whether it got a clean bill-of-health or not - this seems to waste time. Fortunately, the cleaning process is reasonably fast.
Summary
Rapid and easy cleaning program that covers most of the critical bases.

There is no such word as 'irregardless'. If you do not know simple spelling/grammar, how can you intelligently make inferences about this or any other program? Look it up in a dictionary: use of the utterance "irregardless" is stated in some dictionaries to be a sign of ignorance and the uninformed. Wipes out your 5 star rating as being credible.
Pros
cleans trash, history, unwanted languages, download files etc.
Cons
Be careful what you select to be cleaned....READ Instructions carefully and you should have no problem.
Summary
Very effective in cleaning.....As per advertised.

Pros
I really wonder how necessary software like this is when used with Apple computers. There seems to be sufficient internal programs to keep everything cleaned up.
Cons
No cons that I could detect.

When it comes to your privacy, you can delete the caches of lots of things on your computer, which makes it harder for people who like to snoop to find out what you were up to. Apple does take care of a lot of stuff but one thing they don't do is what this program does. They should have their own program just like this (with a few tweaks) because in this world, privacy is key.
Pros
Quick (except when removing languages and associations) and thorough!
Cons
Removing language packs requires you enter your admin code on the mac every 15 minutes, I was going crazy!
Summary
This app essentially saved me over 40gb of space, if not more. I'm trying to find some ugly reality of this to rear it's head, but so far so good. Anyway, highly recommend buying as I did. Thx.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I read the instructions, set the preferences and selected the files I wanted deleted. MacClease deleted only the files I selected and immediately recovered 5GB of disk space. It worked the first time I tried it.
I am no Einstein but this is not difficult software to use. The instructions are minimal and if I was unsure what I was deleting, the information panel told me what I was doing in plain English.
I can think of more complex software or confusing procedures to do what MacCleanse does so handily but that doesn't seem like a productive use of time and energy.
