Default Granfix adhesives and grouts, are they any good ?

As the title suggests, have many of you ever used Granfix adhesives and grout, tubbed and cement powdered, and were they any good.

Thanks

I have used tubbed gear and cement adhesives aswell as their grouts and primers Fekin and I had absolutely no problems with it, however there have been people on this forum who say they have had problem with the grout, but I have used it loads of times with no problems.

Sounds good then.

Bought a tile cutter from a yorkshire company and they included a price list and it has all the Granfix gear listed, and very cheap as well, so that got me wondering if it was actually any good as the price was so low.
