I want to change a couple of sockets in the kitchen utility room which are feeding the washing machine with an RCD one as the consumer unit is a 6 way Wylex which obviously won't take RCBOs.
I gather these sockets are a bit unfashionable as most people will just change the CU which is not a feasible or legal DIY option.
I am looking into two sockets, one by Power Breaker which are just under £30, or one by Safety Sure which is a bit cheaper at £17. I can't find many reviews on them other than that both are made/imported/whatever by Greenbrook.
The more expensive one is switched and looks more subtle, but are there any other differences? Are these sockets suitable to be wired into a 2.5mm ring? I can't seem to find out how big the terminals are. There will be no spur so only the two 2.5mm cables will be wired into each terminal.
The MK ones are sadly out of budget.
