I've had a consistently unpleasant experience with these... even in our new build with perfectly solid plasterboard walls, they have a tendency to pull out and gouge huge holes in the wall. They also leave colossal holes (at least for the larger size ones) which are a pain to patch.
I've now replaced all of these (where they existed) in our house with hollow wall anchors. Much easier to set, much more solid.
