Aug 9, 2010 at 18:49 comment added Simon Pepin Lehalleur Well, in my limited experience Brown representability is very useful in pratice when you work with homotopy categories of model categories (which are complete cocomplete). The relevant functors on those big categories are sometimes hard to describe explicitely, although it may be possible to compute them on (some subclass of) compact objects.
