One can fit different shaped plugs around the product. In addition, the surge item is reassuring . Charging via USB is also very helpful .
These are great, very well built and offer up plenty of 3-pin and USB sockets. The placement of the plug sockets is great too for those larger adapter plugs. Highly recommended.
Item arrived as expected. Exceptionally well built and sturdy product. Also this is probably the most stylish surge protector around. 10/10.
Very compact love the two tone colours
Works great where I need i
Really like the build quality of the product. Love the colours. Smart design. Very pleased.
I have been so impressed with product that I have bought 4 and now have a much neater house.
Delighted with the product and highly recommended it.
A nice sturdy and compact extension which I have found ideal for using with my TV and av equipment. Happy with purchase and would recommend
I ordered 2 of these extension cables and am very pleased with them .They look so much better than the previous tower cables we where using and take up a lot less space .I really like the fact they cease charging when my mobile or tablet reaches 100% . Hope to purchase more in the future
Really good stops charging when battery full using USB ports
This is an excellent safety product , and because of its shape, is able to take any awkward shaped plugs . thoroughly recommended and well worth the money. Thank you.
Good solid & weighty bit of kit, it’s not cheap & it doesn’t look it. All the capacity I needed in a neat compact box.
Do not let the price put you off, this is a great product, bought for out motorhome which has limited sockets when hooked up to electric pitch.
Practically a cube so compact and takes up little room, non-slip feet so stable when driving, and more sockets and USB ports than we’ll need, material and mains cable all robust and gives a high quality feel all round.
Item arrived well packaged and has a solid build. The only downfall is that some plugs are awkwardly designed and this device may not cater for these irregularities.
Very neat unit and exactly what I need for a small space under my desk.
Does what is expected – shame that bestek don’t make any power conditioners with filters.
Above rating is based on my experience & needs using this product over a short time.
Firstly, it fits my needs exceptionally well, it’s also one of the nicest looking extensions I’ve see. My study looks like NASA’s launch control room & I simply needed more sockets & USB charging station. The best thing though is the ability to switch power on & off without trying to reach behind three monitors. Very pleased with seller & quick delivery too.
Quite hard to put plugs in some of the sockets and noticed some plastic was broken inside 2 of them
A brilliant multi-socket device that is not only useful but looks great on my desk
Takes up quite a lot of space on desk but has proved very useful so far.
I use it for my gaming/steaming pc and I’m very happy with it.
Good Quality Build, the ports can be switching on top 4 and bottom 4 separately helping save electricity. Seems durable but only time will tell.
The best thing about this extension tower is that no matter how big the plug or adaptor that goes into this, it won’t interfere with any other plug sockets due to the design, the USB sockets are essential for the amount of things that require USB charging that this does well and should be standard in all extension sockets. The only thing about this product that I have any nit pick’s at, is that all of the sockets should have come with their own power switch/button.
Bought this to replace a similar item (alternate brand that broke within 3 months). This appears well made, sturdy and works well. It seems to have intelligent USB charging ports that I presume only power up when something is plugged in (as they only light up when this occurs).
I Certainly recommend this.
I now have a tidy and more useable desk. Excellent product. Looked at the rubbish and bought the best.
hat what I was missing to organize the mess with my cables.
An extremely compact but sturdy tower extension strip. Really very well put together piece of item, that works extremely well and saves a lot of space. Would have loved to give it all 5 stars, if not for the slightly high price tag
Well made and compact 8 mains socket unit, ideal for my Windows desktop system. However, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that when you plug in 2 sockets next to the on/off switches the cables interfere with the operation the switches. Otherwise an excellent product.
Small & compact, easily concealed, good build quality, built-in surge protection fits up nicely with my CCTV audio system & PC.
Very well made quality product but very expensive too, love the USB charging ports, should last a long time.
I’m pleased with my one off payment…go for it if one can afford it.
Amazing product, but every once in a while there is a ticking noise.
Great product. And well built. Arrived on time and perfect for our HQ training. Useful sat in centre of the conference table so everyone can plug in laptops and phones without extensions everywhere
Seems excelent. Arrived in good time. Looks like it will liv up to its description.
Delighted with this product. It arrived in less than 24 hours and is sturdy and well made. It is more compact than I imagined which is a good thing but it feels weighty and therefore I have confidence in plugging and unplugging. It’s certainly a neater idea than the old-style extension cables and the safety features are most reassuring. Very pleased with it.
Fantastic product, easy to setup, ideal for home users, the power buttons for each layer are a touch of genius.
The USB ports are very convenient, quick charging.
Bought for my son for Christmas, he was very pleased with it.
Great product – looks nice on the table, and you can charge phones and tablets etc.
I have one so brought my son one perfect way to safely multi plug and looks good to
Amazing product made excellent really strong, everything I wanted will definitely buy another, came through post really quickly to
I liked this because it takes up less space than other adapters, seems to blend into the background and the usb chargers an added bonus
Great to have a quality product. Well worth the extra cost over cheap imports where it was impossible to even push the plug into the extension.
Absolutely brilliant so pleased I bought this Extension lead…
It has made charging devices that little bit easier with the 6-ports usb sockets…
Also the 8 plug sockets is so helpful for all my other stuff like T.V, PlayStation, Lamp, Recliner Chair and so on…
It’s compact and the quality of build is A1…
Plus all the safety they have built into this Extension should give you peace of mind…
Would absolutely recommend without hesitation…
Really pleased with this product. Clearly good quality and works very well.
Much more compact than you would think, works really well and fits nicely on my desk. Much better looking than a normal strip extension socket.
This is my 2nd bestek I’ve bought .they don’t take up a lot of room and have a choice of which plugs I need to use without having to put the other plugs on love them
OK, so the box arrived as per request on the same day of ordering (respectful hat tip to amazon). Was surprised at how small this thing was. Don’t really know what I was expecting, but this can happily sit in the palm of your hand! Second thing I noticed was how robust it was. (In the event of a zombie apocalypse you could probably hold the plug and cable and swing this round with the efficiency of a ball and chain!) The two power buttons have a nice solid ‘click’ to them. All of the plug sockets are covered internally, although I’m pretty sure nothing on this earth can stop a determined, curious child with a pointed objuct. (I speak from personal experience. Nothing like a blue flash of light and 240v to teach you he error of your ways) The USB”s each have their own led indicator to let you know they’re in use. In the amazon description it shows that you can charge several devices, but no mention of real-time situations like….an x-box one, a PS4, a Virgin V box, a huge Pioneer surround amp, a powered sub-woofer, a gaming PC, a house phone, an 8 port gateway, an amazon alexa (running from one of the six USB ports) and two mobile phone chargers all running at the same time! Yeah, this was a trial by fire! And the Bestek met the challenge and never batted an eyelid. I now feel very secure in the knowledge that should any issue occur, that all of my son’s toys will be well protected. This puppy isn’t the cheapest surge protector out there, but at the end of the day, what’s 37 if your kit runs into the 1000’s. I’ve had the long strip versions and a similar tower one which I use in the garage, but this piece of kit beats them all hands down. Yes, I’d highly recommend this product. Will be getting another to replace the stip type I use for the system in my front room after the Christmas chaos is over and I can get past the tree to sort it. Excelent piece of kit. One last thing! There used to be a very audible ‘thud’ from the sub woofer turning on/off/channel switching, but the Bestek has completely cured the signal surge! Superb!
Above all, this is a quality product that delivers in spades, deliverer 8 power sockets, Six LED charge outputs, Two on / off each switch control a 4 block power sockets that puts you in firm control. This is an impressive unit.
Great quality and product, it handle plenty stuff at the same time, the cable is re forced and it has a protection surge.
Early days and only time will tell but so far doing what it said on the tin.
With so much technology in our houses today who wants tons of extension cable when you can have one of these compact and versatile charging towers that take up virtually no space.
Charge USB devises and use conventional plugs and chargers for phones and other items all at the same time.
This is a high-quality product and looks pretty cool but remaining discreet and can be nicely tucked away in a corner, under your bed or beneath your office desk.
I now have 2 of these and cannot recommend them highly enough.
Rather pricey, but a key point about this model is that ALL the USB charging ports deliver a full 2.4 amps if required. Most other similar items seem to have a variance of 1.2 or 2.4 A.
Love it so much that I now have 3!!! Great design! Good length of lead!
Expensive for an extension lead but the quality is so good! Really glad I got it, the build quality is really nice and it exudes confidence that the circuitry isn’t the cheaply engineered stuff that could damage equipment you see in “breakdown” videos/pics. I probably wouldn’t try to draw maximum power on all USB sockets simultaneously but I have a lot of faith in this product. Love that the indicators on the USB outlets go out when something is fully charged. Don’t know if that’s a common feature these days but the visual feedback is great. The LEDs dim in the dark which is just ridiculously snazzy. 🙂 It’s pretty small as others have stated but you can get quite a lot of ‘bricks’ / power supplys on it without any difficulty. It’s reasonably weighty so it stays in place nicely, and the supply power leads is a good length, quality and nice and chunky. You can buy something with the same on-paper functionality for less than half the price but I find this a good example of “you get what you pay for”!
Great surge protector nice style and very functional. Will buy more of these and would recommend.
Looks well constructed,very good reviews,surprised at how compact it is but certainly does the job ,well impressed
bestek is best extension and my first choose when i want buy any extension but there only one problem the price is too expensive
The product is of good quality, compact and does the job. I’ve not yet tested the USB ports. A completely black unit would be preferable to match my kitchen design and a way to coil up extra cable would be helpful.
This is probably the best extension I’ve bought (and over the years I have had many). Smaller than I imagined it would be (so takes up less room), a solid feel including confidence giving mechanical click on/off buttons (each level of tower is individually switched) and useful (small) LED indicators. I would by again if the need were to arise. Only thing I would improve, personally I would have liked a slightly longer lead, I can’t take a star off for that though as it is what was stated in the description.
A very neat well designed extension, nice and compact in size yet able to plug in 8 electrical items plus usb charging points, I cannot fault this item in any way or form, the supplier dispatched quickly and it arrived well within the predicted timescale, and was packaged extremely well, would most definitely recommend this product.
This looks & feels like a well built product. I have been using mine for a few months now and it is working just as it should. It is compact but well designed. Recommended.
It’s quite handy and so far no issues… good purchase in this day and age of wires and technology galore..
I have purchase a number of this style of product but have never been totally satisfied, mainly through the poor quality of the products, however this BESTEK 8 certainly tops the charts. I know it is a little more expensive that other models but with this Tower Extension you are buying quality and that is not even including the extra facilities offered by this product. If price is your main consideration buy another make but if quality is important to you this is at the top of the tree. Don’t be like me and finish up buying 2-3 useless ones, when you take this fact into consideration BESTEK also works out the least expensive in the long run.
Have discovered several a lot cheaper. Having said that, can’t fault quality or performance
We had a couple of 4 gang adaptors to run everything related to our TV and Entertainment systems, charge phones and the sort.
Then this came along. Taking 8 items via sockets plus space to run charging for phones and tablets via USB, freeing up socket space.
A nice little tower, that doesn’t look out if place.
Easy to set up and use, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get one earlier.
Squat design means it feels planted to the desk, so unlikely it will topple over. The square dimensions also allows you to place a tablet or phone safely on the flat top surface whilst you charge the device, which leads to a less cluttered work area.
Includes six well implemented USB charging ports each capable of charging at up to 2.4 Amps regardless if all or some are in use. All auto shutdown when charging is completed, status indicator lights lets you know what’s going on at a glance.
Cable appears to be a thicker gauge than most and comes with a velcro tie to reduce cable clutter if you don’t require the use of the full length.
In use this unit appears to be a well made product. Initially I took a look at cheaper alternatives thinking a built-in cable winder would be useful, but in so many other areas the design and manufacture was based upon compromise.
Buy a cheaper alternative or spend a bit more and have something that’s this well designed?
I have to say since owning this BESTEK, I’ve realised that I made the right decision purchasing it. I’ve freed up numerous plugs previously used for USB chargers, it’s compact enough to store on the desk as opposed to on the floor.
A highly worthwhile purchase.
This product is absolutely fantastic! I have used it to charge multiple devices and it has worked brilliantly. I love the fact the it has usb ports rather than all plug sockets too! I will be buying this product again for the living room as the one I purchased was for upstairs (All my personal Tech!). All in all it is a brilliant product and would happily recommend it to anyone.
Ghost.
We’ve now got several of these in the office – very and not as ugly as traditional four ways.
This is a very unobtrusive tower which, because of its finish, does not look out of place located on a piece of furniture. I use it on my computer desk for hiding excess cables while easily connecting various electrical appliances. Very clever idea also including USB charging points within design. Very satisfied with product.
Works well. Nice and compact with lots of sockets for standard 3 pin plugs and USB. The latter charge fairly quickly.
Obviously this item is expensive for an extension cable, but as I’d just bought both a new TV setup I wanted to ensure they were protected.
This item has a very nice feeling build quality. It feels solid, compact and sturdy. Time will tell how it stands up to use, but I feel like I’m getting my moneys worth. I’ve simply not had one of this standard before. (That said I’ve never spent more than 15 on one either)
It has two switches, so you can turn the bottom or top 4 sockets on/off. It has multiple USB charging points. It also comes with surge protection, overload protection and over current protection which is the main reason I bought it. We’ve been known to get current fluctuations here, and I don’t want to chance several thousand pounds worth of electronics.
Another reason I like this one is that it has 8 plug connections. My setup looks much tidier now (vs two 4 strip extensions) This item is nice and discreet and tucks away perfectly.
My first impressions are that the items are well protected by this Bestek device, and I’ll likely be buying another one for the PC area.
I’m very happy with this extension tower. I bought it for my kitchen gadgets and it’s neat and tidy, looks smart, it’s compact and steady on the worktop. Excellent quality. A great buy.
My father likes it very much. It makes the desk tidy and the 6 USB charging ports are useful (addition of 2 more USB ports desired).
So far it has worked flawlessly. I purchased this to use when I go away and often hotels and B&Bs do not have enough sockets. Now I can charged my iPhone, iPad camera batteries and computer all at the same time from one socket. Nice and compact so easy to transport.
For my case – I have used the BESTEK-8 power block to provide USB charging & AC power sockets for Laptops & other temporary peripherals on my study desk (its actually placed on the table top at the back corner and doesn’t waste space or look out of place). The unit looks the part – is well presented; compact; well built and surprisingly usable. The unit is a reasonable weight which stops it from moving around too much under the weight of cords… but could be heavier or have screw attachments on the base as when plugging in power plugs you have to hold it to stop it moving around (I’ve used heavy-duty double-sided tape to fix to the table top – but would have been nice not to have to do that) The tower style fits in much better than the 6-inline flat power block I was using previously.
I rarely write reviews, but wanted to for this. I know it’s a little more expensive, but I feel it’s well worth the extra money. Sits nicely on a desk with the advantage of having easy access USB ports. Separate on/off switches for each set of 4 sockets (top 4 and bottom 4)
Brilliant. Delivers on it’s promises.
The sockets are smooth for inserting and removing plugs regularly – something which I find irksome with many other extension solutions where it feels like there’s a goblin holding onto the pins inside the device preventing you from easily removing them!
I’m using this in my office in a hotdesk area and it’s proving a real hit with all users. The addition of the USB charging ports is convenient and a relief when everyone has their laptops plugged in and you can still charge a mobile, tablet etc.
Highly recommended
Very pleased with compact design and ease of use. The cable was too short for original purchase reason, but found a use for it elsewhere. Have got my husband one as he has medical appliances that I want protecting. The USB ports are very useful.
I am very late writing this review but I only started using it a few day’s ago I am so impressed with it,I remember buying a cheaper version before i brought this one,that is the one that I have been using up to now,what a difference between that one and this beauty,everything about it is wonderful even the plugs,when I used to push the plugs into my cheaper extension I really had to force the plug into the opening,this one the plugs just went in like silk,love love it,I am thinking about changing my other cheapie for another one of these,it is a considered purchase as you can almost buy two cheapie ones for one of these,but now that I have used both that extra cost is so worth i
A neat device that does the intended job. Pleased with it.
Compact, well configured surge protection. Really pleased with this. Would have liked a slightly longer power cord option but overall still a brilliant buy
This is a compact, sturdy and well made unit. It’s stable when putting plugs in and out.
The switches are reassuringly positive. LEDs show what is switched on, also lighting up when a device is plugged into a USB socket.
The USB sockets are Smart, providing up to a total of 8 amps: several devices can be charged at once.
It’s a super piece of kit.
P.S. It cleared up a rat’s nest of other extensions and wires 🙂
Arrived promptly. Sits in the corner of my desk and makes life very easy — no more scrambling behind the desk or PC to reach a socket or USB port!
Quite expensive for a surge protector with eight plugs, but I didn’t want to scrimp on this and it has a lot of features for protecting your hardware.
I love how portable it is, though I would have liked the cable to the wall to be a little longer.
Only just bought it, but first impressions are positive.
This is the second Bestek 8 Way that I have purchased, I was so impressed with the first one that within a couple of days I ordered another. They are not the cheapest priced for this type of tower extension but it is solid and capable of holding the larger transformer type plugs without tipping over. I am already thinking where another one would be useful as they really do tidy up untidy cables. In my opinion this is an excellent product.
Well built product. Small and unobtrusive. 2 switches for each bank of power sockets (8 in total). So each switch controls a bank of 4 power sockets.It has a high joules rating (1500J) and 6 x 2.4V USB intelligent charging ports. LEDs that light up are not too bright and are subtle and are supposed to adjust to light sensitivity (haven’t test that yet).
Update 03/2018 – Yes the LEDs drop in brightness when the lights are turned down. Great feature if this is in a bedroom.
Product is sturdy and has a high tech look to the product. As and FYI, all BESTEK products seem to have the innovative differential when compared to other products and have an 18 month warranty
Only negative is that they are more expensive but you get what you pay for.
I will be purchasing more.
Update 03/2108 – A few months of using this product and I’ve had no problems at all. Quality feel throughout. I will be purchasing another shortly.
I bought this as I needed extra sockets my old extension was too short, looks good sat on my desk, seems crazy but people have commented and asked me about it, but most important it works and of course the usbs are a great addition in today’s world, this may be more expensive than many extensions but if it was appropriate for were needed I would happily buy again.
Very good, smaller than the photos make it look and it’s very robust. Seems to be working fine at the moment fully loaded 24/7.
Compact and rugged. I am happy with the product. It serves its purpose and saves space as well. I can confidently recommend the product to others.
Solid build quality. A bit pricey but hopefully it’s worth it in the long run. I’ll be putting it to good use soon for my PC.
Certainly does the job and it’s nice and compact, but the power cable is not 1.8 metres as advertised, It’s five feet (1 metre) maximum so I was somewhat disappointed to realise it’s not long enough for the place I was hoping to position it.
The socket extension tower design is really brilliant and with plenty of sockets and USB, I have try it and everything is well.
ordered one which arrived very quickly as I am a prime customer.
unit itself is first class, well made and robust, heavier than i thought which is good as no chance of it overbalancing. have tried all 8 sockets and 6 usbs. all work fine. no sign of overheating at all.
So impressed i ordered a 2nd one, which arrived quickly and works to the high standard set by the 1st
Well worth the extra it costs over lot of units on offer, just shows you get what you pay fo
Does the job but a little expensive for what it is
Really like this extension lead for the fact that it’s much safer to use because of the on/off switches. Also like how compact it is and doesn’t look ugly and messy like my old lead did. Great quality and it’s the best lead I’ve bought.
Superb Surge Protector. The build quality is excellent and a bit smaller than I thought it might be, but great for my needs and very unobtrusive on my desk. I was a bit worried about some of the other surge protectors that had reviews saying they were not able to take Apple plugs but this definitely works with them, and anything else I have plugged in so far. USB ports charge iPhone/android phone quickly and only light up when things connected are plugged in otherwise they stay off, so does not appear to need a switch to turn USB ports on/off. Very useful having buttons for each layer and would be looking for a 3 layer model from BESTEK in the future.
Was going to go for the cheaper brands but think paying the few extra pounds for this more expensive model a good decision. Would highly recommend this product.
I ordered this to have a good quality, reliable and safe option for plugging in all my expensive electronics in the lounge.
It’s a great looking tower and love the fact that has all those USB ports included.
After spending a lot of time looking for a perfect extension lead, I think this is the one ticking all the boxes for me.
This is a great product with eight outlets for electrical plugs, six 0-2.4A USB charging sockets and surge protection. Robust built and well designed with individual switches for the electrical sockets and green lights for outlets in use. Low profile and very stable. I have used it for several months and experienced no problems at all. I generally have 3 USB and 4 electrical sockets in use most of the time.
Just got mine yesterday and I am so pleased with it ,looks great .make it look so neat and tidy now.great produc
Great device it keeps my plugs tidy and better power savings as i can switch devices off and on that always use power and plug the ones i need on into a column that i can keep on luke alarm clock. It cleverly charges ps4 controller and stops once fully charged
Want a single power socket to provide 8 mains sockets AND 6 USB sockets? This Bestek power cube is simply awesome. No more 4 gang plugged into a 4 gang with cables running all over. Just a single cube, with surge protection, with everything plugged into it – and I’ve still got some spare capacity.
An awesome product with an innovative design, and it’s great value too!
Good quality product would recommend However with the onset of the new C cables being used this is a now dated tower although a safer expensive option!
Very well made product and does most things….but it will not accept the plug that comes with the new apple MacBook Pro which was my reason for buying this product. I now have to plug this into a wall socket, so my reason for buying such a well made product was slightly thwarted. Manufacturers take note!!
I really like this mains extension as it does a lot in a compact form factor. Even my wife was really impressed with this!
My only (very minor) gripe with it is that I would have liked the mains cable to have been slightly longer (say 2m instead of 1.8m), but this hasn’t stopped me from purchasing a couple more!
