the end of the lens rotates, so this hood cannot have the nice petal shape. it also has to cope with the full range of focal lengths. after all these compromises, it probably is not worth the bother - it does not offer much shade for the lens.
one also has to wonder why canon cannot just bundle the hood with the lens.

I was pretty disappointed when I found the EF-S f/3.5-5.6 18-55mm lens doesn't come with a hood when Sony's lenses do so I decided to pick one up to help minimise flare.
PERFORMANCE
I'd have to agree with the other reviewer Andy here about how it's not worth the price or trouble. The brim is so small it provides very little shade for the lens to minimise lens flare or block out other extraneous side light sources. You'll hardly notice any difference before and after attaching the hood when faced with the problem of flare.
However, it does offer protection for your lens from accidental impacts and adds a small extra bit of "cool" factor to your camera to make it more professional looking if that's what you're after...
DESIGN
I didn't have too much trouble fitting it onto the AF lens I bought it for but it's quite a tight fit so you will probably want to hold the focus ring while doing so. It also means you probably don't want to fit it on backwards to save space in your bag because it would be very hard to remove without possibly damaging the lens.
It also doesn't have that "crunchy" sound that cheap plastic has when applying a bit of pressure to it but I don't think that justifies the price when it's almost effectiveless at its main job.
I understand charging for larger petal or lamp hoods but these small ones should really come free with Canon lenses.
SUMMARY
This hood won't give you enough shade for the money's worth. The quality of plastic feels pretty good but you'll probably only end up using this to protect your lens.

I am aware that this product has received mixed reviews in many places but felt it worth saying that for a hood that covers such a wide angle range as 18mm up to 55mm it does a very good job. No lens hood other that vastly oversized variety is going to keep out all forms of peripheral light, sometimes you simply need to get you feet moving and reposition.
As for fitting, the 18-55mm lens does not run on full time manual so DO NOT attempt to attach this hood until you have placed the lens into full manual. This will ensure that you do not damage the motor in your lens. Of course once attached feel free to switch back to auto if required. The same is applicable to when you wish to remove the hood also.

It's a lens hood
It's a lens hood. It's a genuine Canon part and it does the job, not all that expensive for a Canon hood so why get a something not Canon. Read more

Canon EW60C lens hood
Does exactly what it needs to. I bought as a replacement for a cheap generic brand which kept falling off. This one stays on great.

Not worth it.
It really doesn't add anything, though it is sturdy and no broken after 2 years.
If it cost £2 or £3 then maybe its OK for minimal flare reduction or lens protection. Read more

Canon lens hood
As all users of SLR / DSLR cameras know lens hoods are a must. so the earlier you start using them the better.
