I am considering the above fruit cage for my allotment but I can't find many reviews online so I was wondering if anyone on here has one and can advise if it is a worthwhile purchase or not.

It's what one can expect for the price, I think.
The key questions are whether it will be tall enough for you, how it will be secured, how good the galvanising is and whether it's substantial enough to stand up to high winds + rain we now experience, even in summer.
I would rather build my own from wood, using good fence posts for the uprights, but I wouldn't pretend I could do it more cheaply. Something like this, maybe.

I build mine every year around may to September time I have a strong nylon type netting that will last years and I just tie 8 foot bamboo canes. I am planning next Spring to concrete in some wooden stakes and screw in timber to make a proper cage but take netting off for Winter. Its very cheap to make your own, netting is most expensive part
