The overall quality of the plug is really good, and it works well in most cases.
I’d be slightly worried about having it in any high traffic areas where you could knock into it though, there’s no give in the design and you could easily snap it open exposing live terminals.
The design also falls over if you have a larger plug that goes upward, as it then blocks the USB ports.
So in a protected place with normal plugs, great, it just depends where you want to use it.
Compact, well build space saver with space for 5 different ways of connecting ( 2 AC plugs, 2 usb and 1 C port).
It is looking modern and is rather slim build. Easy to use- just plug in and connect other plug into it. It is working fine so far.
Great for providing additional charging capability without being too bulky
This is excellent for travelling, or if you want to use it on a socket with only one plug; this adaptor will be able to supply you with all the connections you need.
It’s a robust design and lightweight/compact.
Excellent value.
I feel this adapter is very good value for money because it has enabled me to be able to charge multiple devices from a single socket. I like that it has the different ports for USB etc and the adapter itself is very strong and sturdy. I feel it’s been made well and I feel it’s quite durable. It’s definitely worth the cost let’s put it that way. I think this adapter is ideal for travelling and it certainly allows me to travel lightly because it’s lightweight and it gives me extra charging capacity because of all the ports. I haven’t had any issues since I’ve been using it and I’m quite happy with how quickly it charges my devices. It’s a good size and I’m pleased with how easy it is to use. I do recommend this adapter and it gets a big thumbs up from me.
The socket is different from the one shown in the first photo of the advertisement but it is still good. It has 2 sockets, 2 USB ports and a type C port. It works well if you need double space on one socket, but it won’t fit if you already have a double socket on the wall and the adapter is not very wide enough to fit 2 wide plugs. So overall, good for one socket and small plugs.
If you have a bedroom or a room with just one socket then this Double Plug Adaptor is a great addition.
One plug is never enough today with electric clock radios, phones, other tech and the like.
This is a good multi plug that lets you have 2 plugs in and the USB Ports are a brilliant addition.
Great for Hotel Rooms swhere you need the extra sockets.
A five star device.
Recommended.
I like this adaptor mainly for the fact that it can be used on a double socket without obstructing the unused outlet or any switches on the socket. It seems well made, and works fine. The pictures here though are misleading in some cases, for it would appear that the device is very slim and would not protrude too much from the socket, while in fact it is no slimmer than other adaptors; it is just the front panel that is slim, it about doubles in thickness where the plug is.
I should have looked more closely at the pictures. I wanted a layout as show in the first photo (the thumbnail that comes up when you search) with the USB ports on the top and power connectors on front. What I got was what is shown in the other photos with USB ports also of front. This means that the USB connectors stick out too much to fit into the tight space I need to use it in. It works, but not suitable for my needs. Seems robust.
I think that the chances of finding anyone who couldn’t fully use a plug adapter like this are very small. It’s a thoroughly well designed double plug 13A adapter with three USB ports included (one USB-C and two USB-A type).
The adapter is made from what feels like a high quality plastic and it has all the required specifications printed on the rear (CE Mark, BS1363 etc). It is fitted with a standard UK 3-pin plug that has an accessible fuse housing.
A miniscule red LED on the front indicates that power is being received (the LED is situated just below the USB-C socket).
I tried a couple of ‘oversized’ plugs in the adapter and it could cope quite easily with them, but some plugs may block the USB sockets which can’t be avoided, and I don’t blame the adapter for that.
A very thoughtful and surprisingly useful design detail is the ‘ridge’ that runs along the top of the adapter. This means that you can rest the edge of a smartphone/tablet on the adapter whilst charging. I will definitely use that clever little feature!
I think that, for under a tenner, this is a great plug adapter. It’s extremely compact and yet can give you USB and 3-pin plug capabilities. Very impressed.
N.B. Please note that the first image on the Amazon page does not look like the same product, my review is about the adapter I received which has a completely different layout.
This is a great quality double plug adapter. It comes with two USB ports, one type C port, a power light and two AC outlets. So basically you can charge/use upto five items at one time. It is lightweight and portable (8.3cm x 6.4cm x 10.1cm), so will easily fit into luggage if you are travelling. The adapter is fire retardant and surge protected.
This is a good quality product that is well designed. Price wise it is good value for the current selling price of 9.34 (after discount).
I expect this adapter to give many years of use.
Finally I have an adapter which comes with 2 sockets as well as USB A and USB C in one place. It is very useful as some of the devices I have at home only comes with a socket, but most of the adapters in my house nowadays come with USB ports only. WIth this dual socket adapter I could use both sockets and USB ports in one place which is very handy.
Wall adapters should be discreet and attractive and this fits the bill perfectly for less than a tenner. The only downside to it is you are limited to just two three prong plug inputs and it takes up quite a bit of space horizontally. It may be worth spending a bit more to get something square shaped that can handle more plugs and allow you to double up next to it, though it will cost you around twice as much. See your options below. If you’re plugging this in near a television there’s inevitably a high demand for plugs. This has helped me plug a lamp in but my partner still needs space for her oil diffuser.
Great little adapter, love being able to charge my phone, tablet and laptop without having to have plugs for everything, nice and compact and great for travelling.
Does what it says on the tin, and good value for money just what l needed.
The plug that has 2 USB A ports plus a USB C port is different to the picture in the first photo, you need to see the other photos for the correct adapter. A great solid adapter but because the 3 pin plug which goes into a wall socket is placed bang in the middle it means you can only use it on single sockets as it covers sockets on either side rendering them useless but if you have a, single socket then this is excellent giving you two 3 pin plug sockets, a USB C port plus two USB A ports.
It’s very sturdy yet quite light and fits sockets great with no wobble. A must have product for today’s USB devices.
Good quality double uk plug adaptor with two separate usb ports and one usb c port this is fully fuse protected with 13amp fuse and has CE & ROHS markings but like with all plugs don’t overload, if in doubt seek independent electrical advise this is good value for money ideal for traveling see pictures
Turns one socket into many, and super useful ports for phone/device charging removes the need for an adapter.
Sturdy and works well
This is going to stop some arguments in my house
I love how it’s in such a small space converts a single 3-pin socket into a double 3-pin plus two USB-A and a USB-C.
It looks well-made, feels sturdy and solid and has all the safety markings on the back.
No problem as yet, and no problems expected.
All the bedroom sockets in my house are single sockets (see 1st photo) and rather limiting in these days when you often want to plug in a number of items. This socket doubler with 3 USB outlets included (2 USB-A and 1 USB-C) is really neat and compact, not making the whole too unsightly (see 2nd photo). It also has a small blue light so you can see when it’s on. I’m impressed
What a great little adapter! Featuring two standard UK plug sockets, 2 USB ports and a USB-C port this is quite versatile for a compact little unit. It’s worth noting that I receive a slightly different model than the one pictured: the one pictured seems quite long with the 2USB sockets on top but mine is different. I’m actually pleased about this because the one pictured looked so long that I might not have been able to use it in a double plug socket without “blocking” the other unused plug socket. As you can see in my picture you are still able to use it in a double socket quite easily.
At 10.99 at time of writing this, I think this is excellent value. The unit feels study yet compact as a nice “heft” in your hand suggesting solid build quality. I’ll recommend it, worth having, five stars!
This handy double plug adaptor is meant for converting a single socket into a double one, but it’s so compact that it can also convert a double socket into a triple one. The adapter comes boxed with all the necessary safety marks both on the box and on the back of the adapter, which gives me confidence using it. It has a 13A fuse built in, with surge protection for extra peace of mind.
The adapter is very easy to use, just plug it in and it’s ready. There are two USB-A ports and one USB-C port above the two sockets, with a tiny red LED light to show that the power is on. This makes it very useful for charging my phone and other devices and saves me plugging in a dedicated charger. I’m impressed with the design, it’s lightweight and takes up no more space than it has to – it is much smaller than I was expecting it to be. It doesn’t get hot in use either so I can’t fault this adapter in any way, it’s great.
Good solid adapter for 2 plugs only taking up the space for 1. Also USB sockets that help with charging several devices.
Good plug and not too bad a price. I have paid a lot more and got a lot less.
Top quality. 5-5. Recommended.
I have been impressed with this so far.
The design is sleeker than many more chunky adaptors, so it doesn’t protrude so far from the socket, nor look as unsightly.
Considering its compact nature, it offers a good deal of practicality. There are 2 conventional UK 3-pin lug sockets and also 2 USB sockets as well as a Type-C port. That means that this is not only suitable for using at home, but could make an ideal choice to pack in your bag when you are on your travels too.
From a safety perspective, there is also the reassurance of surge protection and fire protection.
All in all, a well-designed, good quality adaptor that is easy to recommend.
I hope you find these comments helpful.
I received this item through the Amazon Vine programme.
There seems to be a bit of confusion on this item’s page: the first picture is of an adapter that is wide and slim with 2x 13amp sockets on the front and 2 x usb ports on the top: this isnt the item reviewed.
All the other pictures are of an adapter that is more square in shape with 2 x 13amp sockets, 2 x usb A sockets and one usb C socket on the front above the 13 amp sockets: this is the item I received and am reviewing.
A well made and usefully laid out adapter, this one stands a little free of the host socket allowing the use of switches (if you are using a switched socket).
There is a tiny pin-light, in red, under the usb C socket that lights up when there is power to the adapter.
The usb ports are not “smart” and have a total output of 3.4amps maximum.
I like the shape of this adapter, it doesn’t intrude on adjoining sockets and looks good overall.
It has a fitted 13amp fuse.
Retailing at 10.99 I think it offers fair value for money, particularly considering the inclusion of a usb C socket in the format.
Bought 2 and 1 died within a few days. Will be returning. *UPDATE* the seller got in touch and refunded straight away, so great customer support.
