Hiya guys
Looking at getting this to boost the signal from my Zyxel modem or router.
What's your opinion on these systems and which ones would you recommend ?
I see there are a lot of models and I'm not sure which one to look at.
Are they any good?

Roughly how large is the space you want to expand wifi in? You might be able to get away with a 2 unit mesh vs a 3 unit one

Yup.

Incredible have the S4, which is an update but the same thing really, just smaller units, for a little less:

So what's the actual difference between them just size and newer model?
Should I just get the s4 3 unit one? Same price it seems

Rather buy the newer TP Link Deco S4.

Same price ( R3199 on special atm until 16 Oct ) as the older M4 units - https://www.incredible.co.za/tp-link-deco-s4-wifi-mesh-system

I have the S4 units and they work brilliantly BUT after I bought a TP Link AX3000 router (Archer AX55) I actually don't need them - R2700 from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09G5W9R6R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
The range of the Archer AX55 covers my entire house and certain outside areas - and it's WiFi 6.

Depending on your needs a better router might be all you need.

Take it with a grain of salt. Each house etc is different. You do not have similar or even more interference/walls/type of paint/electronics which can and will affect the coverage.

Mainly the size of the units but I’d go for the S4 simply because it’s a better deal right now.

Would you recommend getting them at incredible? Is that the deal?

I can't see an online only note on the page so yeah, if there's an Incredible nearby, check they have stock and grab them in-store.
