As an inconvenience, I never RCD protect anything.

some yes, some no

I'm not seeing the relevance or usefulness of those comments

Okaaaay :) I wouldn't either.

[Vir Campestris]

YMMV. So do we - some of their stuff is pretty good.

Yup, and at the other end some is not acceptable.

You generally get what you pay for.

I've bought quite a lot from the far east. Usually electronics and components. And generally, been amazed by the value for money. But if seeing something on sale at a price which seemed to good to be true - compared to other such products from the same area - it usually is. Most notable being rechargeable battery cells.

It's a balancing act. Guessing if the low price is due to selling direct rather than via a retail chain which adds a mark up at each point. Or really is just cheap rubbish. Because there are UK etc firms that sell the same product at a vastly higher price.
