Good quality shaver socket
I bought two of these shaver sockets. They seem to be well made and have a rigid chassis which means that they don't distort during fitting. This is important to ensure that the facia can clip on securely, which isn't the case with some cheap alternatives. I found the screw length was adequate, although I can understand why some people would have preferred longer screws.I made sure that wiring etc was clear of the transformer unit during installation in order to help prevent vibration. So far, both sockets have been quiet during operation. You can still hear a slight buzz if it's quiet and you are right beside it, but only at a really acceptable level. You certainly wouldn't be able to hear anything outside a bathroom.They look pretty good too.

They look amazing!, but a tad..... Loud?
Gotta say, these are absolutely gorgeous!. they are really easy to fit, great price! but i had to knock off 1 star for the tactile "click" of the switch. the activation force is quite high for a light switch so you need a bit more pressure to turn it on/off than you might think. total non issue to 99% of people for if you have thin walls between you and your neighbour, they're gonna hear them clicking on their side! (no joke. out neighbours thought we were tapping our walls for some god unknown reason Ha!).

Easy, with correct back box
Required a deeper back box than the one I had in. Put in a 35mm deep one. Would be easier with 50mm if you can with cable entering at the rear of box if you can.

Nice and robust finish, easy to install.
Nice and robust finish, unlike some other matt black (which scratches easily) this one just has a light lacquer to protect them but not glossy which still goes well with my matt black kitchen white quartz worktop. Unlike my nexus matt black sockets by BG, these one seems v well made and resist well to my builders blunt force. And my matt black ones r already showing some minor scratches.

Very nice product but screws too short
A very nice shaver socket and easy to swap for my existing one.The supplier should provide longer flat head screws for fixing though because shaver sockets tend to have very deep back boxes and normal socket screws have rounded heads which will not allow the chrome faceplate to sit correctly. It is quite difficult to find the 75mm flat head faceplate screws required.
