I've just priced a Hager SPD/RCBO board against a Fusebox unit. When you add all the Fusebox extras in the difference between the 2 was £60+VAT.
 
@Phil Thompson its here:

start of the video. The slagging off starts around 2 minutes 15
That video was uploaded to You Tube in May 2019. However, DSS Electrical subsequently uploaded another video regarding Fusebox boards six months later wherein he is full of praise for the brand. He even goes so far as to say that he thinks they're better than Hager! Conflicting advice indeed. :confused1:

 
@Phil Thompson I'd agree on the SPD price. But not RCBO's. Hager RCBO's are £3/£4 more to me than the Fusebox ones. The price reflected a 14 way Fusebox CU that comes loaded with the SPD and a Design 10 12 way unit with loaded SPD.
 
If you're going by YouTube sparks then a few do like them: David Savery, Nick Bundy, Thomas Nagy, all have fitted them and, at the time of video, really liked them.
 
I have heard many good reviews on the Fusebox but from what I have come across if you are already on Hager regularly then the quality is a good reason to stay with them.. If you haven’t tried a Fusebox though, might be worth to try one yourself, see what you think?

What about the build quality though George.
 
I've not fitted one, I've seen one though my local CEF have started sticking them.
They looks quite well thought out, knockouts are positioned well and the layout is pretty well thought out..
They do look a little tinny in my opinion, the metal is pressed at the sides, of the CU I dont think it would really put me off... I get a decent price on Lewden A type RCBOs so I'll probably continue using them.
 
A bit off subject, but does anyone have any experience with m2 boards? I've been offered boards with spds and compact rcbos at a decent price, but I've never fitted any so if anyone has any experience with them Id be grateful.
 
Even after all these years I can't make my boards look that neat - hats off to you
I'm with you there. I can sometimes get them looking pretty neat, but not like that, especially an RCBO board. Very impressive!
