What do you guys think of the antminer r4? Thinking about buying two from usa (im uk) and running them on kano pool

Is it worth the investment?
I know s9 will have a better watt/th ratio but these will be run at home were i have to pay electric
My other miners i run at work were i dont pay
Also do u guys know any reputable company's that stock the r4 and ship uk?
My biggest problem is the import tax Sad

depends on your circuit breaker config at home.
1x S9 draws 12A at 110V or 6.2A at 220V which gives you 13.5TH

1x R4 draws 7.7A at 110V or 3.9A at 220V which gives you 8TH

S9 is the most efficient miner ... so if you have the amperage availability - S9 is the choice. (noise & consumption aside). Especially since S9 prices have stabilized recently.

If you have power outlet limitations from a current perspective, then R4 is feasible. Just note you are sacrificing efficiency & cost, for convenience of fitting in with your home breaker config.
