The Ohme seems like a decent looking charger aesthetically at least.

In the 7 years that I owned EVs, I have had 2 Rolecs and now a Zappi. The only comment that I make is that the ability to access the various components in an EVSE can be useful. Rolecs, for example, have had some issues with the RCBO and the comms module. Both of these key components are easily changed by any competent electrician. I have no idea how accessible the components in an Ohme Home Pro are? The other thing to think about is technical support. For example, MyEnergi had an issue on Sunday when GMT came a week early. They rolled out a firmware update early yesterday evening.
