Experience was good

Experience was good. I think the remote should come with the elecbrakes system as a standard. Even if it just came with a bluetooth override button that can be stuck on your dash. as the app is sometimes hard to get into when your driving and if you need the override you cannot access quickly.I have the remote so it was fine for me. But all in all happy with the product as we have multiple cars and it is really easy to change between and works good.🤙

Not as easy to install or set up

Not as easy to install or set up, difficult to remember to have aux on for the brakes to work properly. At one point the brakes kept locking up at low speed even though everything was connected properly

When working properly they worked really well.

Very straightforward ordering system

Very straightforward ordering system. And the elecbrakes product itself is so effortless to connect and use. Only suggestion would be note the 12-12 pin cable is not a common connection for a car towbar. I had to buy a 7-12 pin cable from Jayco and return the 12-12 pin for a refund. But all done very helpfully and easily 👍☺️

Hi Caroline. How are you? Thank you so much for the review and for the lovely e-mail! We are glad you're happy with our product.

Easy to install and easy to use.

We have ElecBrakes hardwired on our camper trailer version 1 it is quite good you do your own settings. We have another caravan that we hire out and found a lot of people do not have a breaking system on their car. We installed ElecBrakes 2 on it with the adaptor cable so it now works with and without car fitted trailer braking unit. What an awesome setup

Very Poor Quality for the price charged

Expensive product. One would expect quality. Bluetooth connectivity on the device has failed. Remote control that is also dear to buy is of very poor quality.
Very unhappy with the product. Wouldn't recommend to anyone else.

Simple DIY Installation & So Easy To Use

Bought our EB2 brake controller & was amazed to have it arrive the next day! I couldn't find anyone with local stock so I bought directly from their website. Installation took around 10 minutes & half an hour later with some highway & dirt road driving had it set up & working perfectly. I love how the settings are stored in the controller rather than the mobile device - such a well thought out design

Great product, easy to use and install

This is our first adventure into caravanning and the need for electric brake controllers. After many hours of research we decided to purchase the Elecbrakes controller and install it onto our single axle van. We have multiple tow vehicles and the trailer mounted option is a great idea. The install was easy and the unit operates faultlessly. I ran one of the preinstalled programs and found the braking to be perfectly suited to our application.

Excellent but expensive

The brakes work very well. Easy to set up and install. The performance of the brake unit Is exceptional for our caravan, especially in mountain roads where the roads are steep and winding and slippery from rain.
Th negative aspect of the break and it is the excessive price. However, this is somewhat negatated by not having to use an auto electrician to install a brake control unit in each towing vehicle. So a great product, all be it expensive.

Elecbrakes EB2 controller simply brilliant

The experience was very easy, from dealing with the lady at the counter @ Lisarow, New South Wales, to the very easy installiation of the Eb2 controller myself, everything you need is included even the tech screws to mount the unit, the unit just simply does what it says, very easy to pair and setup via you mobile phone, very easy to make brake adjustments via the App....The best thing about the setup is it is transferable to another vehicle in no time at all
