Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Not simply an uninstaller
CCleaner is a general Windows maintenance tool but it also has an uninstaller built-in.
Pro Keeps bundling minimal and optional
A common drawback for freeware of this quality is when they are bundled with crap-ware. This only includes Google Chrome and can be easily opted-out of.
Pro No ads or nag screens
The free version is great for casual needs and doesn't have any ads.
Pro Portable
No need to install.
Cons
Con Uninstaller function limited
CCleaner does not clean up leftover files after an application's uninstaller has been run, nor can it handle uninstalling applications that do not have an uninstaller.
Con Can't uninstall or detect program without uninstaller
No difference to windows uninstaller. Can't uninstall program with no uninstaller and doesn't even aware of their existance.
Con Bad
Takes up too much ram and CPU, and not a good cleaner anyway.
Con Wrong program size on the list
Even after using refresh function.
Con Cannot bulk uninstall
The free edition does not support bulk uninstalling (uninstalling multiple software programs at once). For that you will need to use a different product such as the pro big brother product of GeekUninstaller, Uninstall Tool.
