Space saving flexible basin trap

I like the look of this space saving flexible basin trap but the on-line reviews says stay away. Anyone else used this product?

Plan A is currently to use this product but it means cutting away a part of the back draw from the basin unit:-

I found that the waste fitting in the basin for one of ours was a lot longer than it needed to be, and poked down so far as to take up space from the shelf in the unit.  My fix was to stick the chrome-plated threaded bit in the lathe (with some masking tape to protect the finish) and turn off about an inch of excess.  This worked well, and lifted the trap up so that it's almost tucked up under the unit fascia panel.

 

It may be that they make waste fittings in different lengths for just this reason - ours came supplied with the basin, so I didn't think to have a look around.
