Power Hoist from Netto

Netto had a 125/250Kg power hoist on Monday 8th August. Just confirming it is pretty much as the Machine Mart item:-

I got one of the MM hoists a few years ago but can't recall the exact price (it was a returned item, so less than list) but it was much more than the £40 for the Netto item (badged Power G rather than Clarke).
Slight differences, much shorter mains cable (0.5M?) and big red stop switch on the 'remote'. The 'doubling' block for 250Kg is simpler to install/remove than my Clarke hoist. I suspect the current Clarke unit probably has those features too. The manual with the Power G unit suggests the unit may not have a mechanical failsafe dog brake, but it does (as per the Clarke unit).
If it's of interest and Netto has the hoist again I'll post another notice.
