I've four of these, and they mostly work a charm.

I gather it can depend a bit on how good your wiring is.  Peronally,
power-strips (four sockets, with a lead, that expands a wall socket)
really kill it.  Used directly in the wall sockets, they work really
well.

One unit didn't.  Solwise replaced it without much fuss (after I
assured them I can read and following the instructions, and had
actually tested it properly).
