I previously used the freeware v2.34, but v3.32 is far superior (much better interface, much faster), and is well worth the purchase cost.
I use it mainly to verify that an installation did not damage anything. Frequently a badly written installation program will replace shared files with older versions, or add duplicate files (e.g. search your hard drive for mfc42.dll), or mess up some registry entries, or install unneeded components (e.g. language files). After an installation, I always read through the Total Uninstall log, and for about 30% of the installations I find something that needs to be fixed manually.
I have used its logs to trace the source of a DLL that is problematic; this can identify software that should be removed to improve the PC's stability.
On the few occasions that I have run the uninstaller, it has worked flawlessly, and has often removed additional components that were missed by the application's built-in uninstaller.
Price: Free Trial ($29.95)
