Cheap and Cheerful
Really good unit compared to others available as it has 3 circuits with decent ratings. Door on front is metal, not polycarbonate as I read in the description at the time of ordering - bonus.Though an unknown brand was easily installed to serve garage without any problems. Sure the breakers may be cheap, but as they're standard DIN rail ones these would be easily replaced with your preferred fancier brand should one fail in the future.Comes with a comprehensive sheet of stickers for labelling the wires, circuits, and various warning stickers to suit regulations, plus blanking covers in case you wish to remove any of the RCDs. A very good package.I think at the price it's a bargain.

Ease of installation.
I have found this an excellent device and good value for money. The hand book was a bit difficult to read but in fairness this is not the sort of job for a complete novice. I have installed the unit in my 'man cave' and I now have lighting and power at my disposal.

Very good, with some niggles
Wanted a portable output, with RCD and fuse protection, for a 5kW generator. Mounted it with 13A 3pin sockets in a wooden carrier,to protect it, keep it all together and keep the cable tidy.Generally very please with it and it looks reasonably well made, for what it cost.Also found it was possible to add one further MCB, to have three outlets, in my case for 10A. Tried a Crabtree MCB, which fitted, but had a spade connector, so wasn't any use, so have now ordered a "Pro Elec MCB Single Pole 10A AUB1".The hinge pins for the front cover and not that robust, but are quite well protected, so it is difficult to appreciate why they were broken for some users, unless they had a heavy impact.The main niggle is with the knockouts, which don't knockout and have to be cut out. What is worse is that if you use these, then at the top and bottom the neutral and earth terminal bar mountings get in the way of any gland nuts for the inlet and outlet cables. It is much better to just ignore these knockouts and cut you own holes, nearer the back, with a hole saw. That way it is then possible to fit nuts onto the cable glands.Otherwise very good value, though not the cheapest.

Good value
Good quality product at reasonable price. Only minor disadvantage for my application was there were no knock outs at rear of unit so I had to drill out. Otherwise very good and easy to install.

Solid and seems to be good!
Its a heavy box with with three mounting holes (top middle, bottom left and right), having three trips is very handy! Does not have a back cut-out.Comes with instructions inside, and a pack of stickers for labelling and warnings.Seems to be a good quality piece of kit!

Not best quality
I purchased this from Amazon because I was already ordering other goods I wish I had bought one from a well known store that I used to buy the rest of materials needed for my job. It is metal bodied but the self tapping screws do not tighten properly one was cross threaded on arrival and when tightened the front cover is still loose it is definitely not the best quality and for the same or similar price there are much better products on the market
