We just retired our Clam after about 3 years of use. Out of the 3 years it's probably been set up over half that time. We've used it at home, camping and gate guarding in South Texas. Understand the Texas sun is brutal as are summer storms. Overall this is a good product, easy, as said by others, to setup, good in higher winds if staked well. Downsides are the material has suffered badly in the sun, does and has always leaked at the roof seams ( not bad, but enough to be annoying), and Velcro for the panels wears out quickly. Also in higher winds the pop out sides tend to pop in, so best to keep things away from the sides.
I'd recommend going to the model with the sewn in exterior panels and getting some extra tent poles to put out the panels for better sun shading. Not being overly critical, just being honest. Ours seen heavier duty than most would get. All said I would buy another if our usage was cut back.
