Any butech grout is terrible in my opinion like nicobond .

It used to be made by Mapei, not sure if it is still. It's been a while since I used it.

Tilemaster's grout 3000 is head a shoulders above the rest IMO.

the worst I have used was one of the new Bal ones and it was the most expensive too shame as they used to make the best white grout by far , palace grouts didnt impress me much either on porcelain too soft and washed out of the joint far too easily

Not keen on Ultra grout because it seems to dry far to quick and is a pig to mix.
Weber Pro limestone for natural stone floors has taken 2-4 days to go off sometimes!!

Tile master 3000 in any colour seems to be the 'dogs jacobs'
It also has the benefit of being versatile... can use nearly everywhere!

Worst Bal Micromax 2, best Evostik/Bostik SGS (also cheapest). Bostik grouts are some of the best to work with and very overlooked

Agree 100% with the micromax 2 comment, horrific stuff, the original was great, then they decided to ruin it along with a 50% price hike!!! I've also found super flex wide joint to be very difficult to wash off the past few times I've used it.

YThe best white grout - Sovergein.
The best Jasmin and black - Mapei.
Tend to be using Ardex colours more as supplied by others - ok but go off quick.
Trying to get 'others' to use tilemaster as comments are favourable.

The worst are - Granfix (patchy and different colours/batches).
Bal - limestone ( patchy ).
Weber - really bad - but https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ very good!

I really don't get on with BAL Micromax 2 - it sucks IMO.
My preferred grouts are Ardex FS & FL
