Not my favourite by any means. The water carryalls have flooded both my car and van. I still hear the sloshing now from some unknown crevice whenever I go round corners.
Their MK1 versions of a lot of products have had notorious issues in the past. You have to wonder how/where they get their stuff made. As for the terminal tackle, it's alright I suppose. Hooks are Hooks and their supplier probably makes a dozen other companies hooks.
It's their original items which seems to fail. I admire any company willing to be innovative, but not when a higher than comfortable percentage have to be replaced due to unforeseen design issues within months of release.
There's plenty of companies out there that make gear that just works. Have read way too much and seen way too much from them that makes me avoid their products.
As consumers, we seem to be one of the only industries which keep buying sub par products, then buy their products again despite all the previous issues. If you had an absolute mare with a Samsung telly, I doubt you'd be rushing out to buy another, yet we seem to be happy to buy 2nd or 3rd versions of product which sits motionless on the bank two dozen times a year.

Their water carriers are good.
One of the seals on one of my water carriers started to leak after a few years and I contacted them. They carry spares and the after sales service was excellent.

A mate of mine loves using their stuff. Its a running joke!
One of their power packs melted in his van, his quad stoves very nearly set fire to his bivvy, and his hunter bait boat loves leaking and having tovbe blown into the bank 
To be fair, their hooks and line are ok but I think the hooks are ace hooks and the line is ultima line, so they aren't their products anyway
I've got the original toastie maker, and that's ok
I'd still rather RM than avid though. Avid are utter, utter rubbish

I use their 35lb hooklink material and think it's brilliant albeit I do strip off the coating.
The majority of my fishing is on the French rivers or big public waters and I can honestly say it has never let me down.

The Boilie Crusher and the Cutter are both really useful bits of kit, I’ve recently started using the Sinking Braid after being recommended it by a mate, seems good so far.
I did have one of the collapsible buckets that I used for everything, baiting up, water for fish, rubbish bin etc etc but I’ve used it that much I wore a hole in it.
Got a couple of different versions of the Head Torches, the larger one although bulky was very good but the elastic strap has lost its stretch now so only gets used at home, i think they’re good torches though, I like the green option.
I did have one of the Bivvy Lights that I used in the back of my Van, this packed up fairly quickly so I got a Trakker one which I think is better, more compact and has quite a nice Orange Light that I find less obtrusive them the white light.
Think that’s it though, most of the gear they do looks cheap and nasty IMO so I haven’t bothered with it and I definitely wouldn’t be using their hooks and other bits of end tackle.

My two toastie makers have been great
Buckets (small square and large one with two trays inside) are good but i think the lids are prone to falling off mine.
Crusher is fantastic
Boilie cutter is very good
First generation of hooks they did were great (not used them for a few years)
Dont rate the coated hooklink
The scissors that are like snips crap imo
Edit* - Also have the bivvy light x2 (which work off same remote) and collapsible bucket - both done me well
As with most companies - some good , some back products

I can only comment on 5+y old stuff.
None of it failed, so far.
Based on the comments, it seems they took a dive in quality over the years

I’ve just won a bid for a RM RT HUNTER 750 BAIT BOAT good price and it works although yet to try it is it any good just for 2/3 acre lakes and an island to get to on another
Also liked the Bivvy light (think it was the first one they made)
Boilie cutter
And didn’t like the hybrid flouro mainline I thought it was crap

Dont get a new bivvy light from them then,they are utter *****.The new Fox pans are better than rm and so is the fox strip light.The remote actually works on the fox from feet away not centimeters.Only thing I like of rm is choppa,crusha,hooks are ok but still prefer atomic tackle hooks

original toastie maker the coating came off inside on the small and xl
original bucket trips my nails off everytime I open it
zyggos broke
new toastie maker smells really chemically when in use
Coolbox, absolutely *****,just a plastic tub withba bottle opener on
tea cup with containers inside, the seals are perished an twisted from new.
hookbait tubs ok, the multiple 4 pice screw together ones
5l an 2 5l water carriers ok
hot water bottle ok
most of the above were presents off the wife except the bucket and original toastie makers and zyggos
it would appear that not my items are completely crap
