The MK K5423WHI 20A Double Pole Switch with Neon has received a generally favorable reception from customers who appreciate the product's robust build quality and reliability. Users have praised its performance, particularly when handling heavy loads, such as large storage heaters, with many reporting that the switches they installed over a decade ago still function flawlessly. This durability is a key selling point for Prospective buyers. One aspect that stands out is the switch’s functionality; it effectively indicates when power is on in appliances that do not otherwise provide a visual cue. This feature has been particularly useful for users relying on time-sensitive electricity rates, like those utilizing Economy 7. However, there are some misunderstandings related to the neon indicator; it operates correctly only when all connections are properly established, something that potential users must be aware of to avoid frustration—especially since improper installations can lead to negative reviews based on features that aren’t directly related to the product itself. Installation, while generally simple, has been noted to have some challenges. Customers encountered issues such as awkward terminal design that made wire connections a bit cumbersome, particularly for the earth cable connections. Moreover, the choice of slotted grub screws has drawn criticism, with many users preferring Phillips or Posidrive options for easier handling, especially in tight spaces. Overall, the MK K5423WHI provides a reliable, functional solution for heavy load applications, with qualities that suggest it will endure through years of service. It is an excellent choice for those who understand and can manage its installation requirements. **
