I purchased this adaptor, in order to protect a new laptop from power surges. It has three sockets, which can also protect for instance a portable external hard drive, it’s small compact size makes it ideal for traveling, when I would need to take a laptop with me on any future trip, at least it gives peace of mind, that if I were to use a laptop away from home, it would be protected from any unforseen power surge, while connected to a mains electricity supply.
It’s good, individual power switches are useful and the usb sockets are great. The usb C especially. You do have to hold onto it when plugging in or unplugging anything because it is not flush with the wall so down vote that.
In this day and age we often need an extra socket/usb/usb c. For every device that you need to plug in, this will take care of it all.

The unit suits my purposes well, both in terms of quality and the fact that, with the double wall socket, it does not block the right hand side. The slight snag is that as the wall socket is slightly proud of the wall, when using the left most adaptor socket care is needed to ensure a good contact is maintained My solution is to use a small piece of folded card to fill the gap between the adaptor and the wall.
So far so good. I like the power surge protection, and the individual on/off switches, and the shape (which doesn’t block the second wall socket). The 2 USB ports work, but the USB-C doesn’t work properly which is annoying. I will probably keep, but I’d think twice about buying this brand again.
No issues so far, does exactly what I needed so would recommend!
Allows me to plug in telephone and wifi router separately and be able to turnoff the phone when I go to bed
and leave the wi fi on for other family members. Also very handy for recharging headphones etc.
Really easy to use item, USB ideal for charging smart phone an tablet in quick time.
Liked this as it’s compact, has both usb and plug facilities in one, great for the bedroom
ice design and practical to allow the socket next to it to be used, switches works perfectly, a bit wobbly when all 3 sockets are used but doesn’t fall off
Really pleased with this. You do need to push into place once your appliances are plugged in. Had it a few weeks and still works well.
I wasn’t exactly looking for a new one, as I have an existing four way that is pretty similar, but saw this with the added USB and USB C ports, as well as the individual on/off switches – a must for enduring the cost of living crisis. Really pleased with it – much smaller profile than the old one. Can use my other socket no problems, not too fiddly to use the on/off switches. Word to the wise though: the USB/USB C sockets get VERY hot, very quickly, so perhaps don’t leave things to charge overnight? However excellent to have as standby in my bedroom if resting during the day. I’d say it feels somewhere between flimsy and sturdy – I don’t think it will break quickly, but if hit hard etc it might well sustain damage – feel it’s pretty good value for money.
Let start with the cons.
The way it sits in the wall socket means that when you remove any plugs from the extension socket, it feels unsteady. It feels like it will pull the whole extension out of the wall socket.
This is however mitigated by holding the top of the extension socket as you pull out the plug from it.
The positives are that it looks clean, it looks like it is quality, and so far it has worked perfectly for me
Yes, it does have ample socket points for three separate gadgets but my computer source plug is bulky so I’ve left the middle socket empty. I think the weight of the computer plug is the reason why the top part of this plug needs pushing in from the top to ensure contact with electricity My computer supplier representative to my home this week, fortunately, said it was OK to use when he needed to check my phone line. I was being cautious because an Electrician informed me any electric adapter going into an established electric point should be avoided and far better to install more electric sockets. Having already TWO double points in the tiny room needing this adapter, if I was rewiring the whole of my home again, of course, be advised by such a professional.
Does what it is supposed to. A plug in air freshener pulls it a bit from socke
I used the product to keep my products together..Very handy.
Appears well made and plugs securely into the wall socket with its 3 additional sockets to the left as well as the USB sockets for charging.
Am happy to recommend
Often in need of extra plug especially this time of year. Well thought desig
My home doesn’t have that many power points but this is ideal! Turns I socket into three plus the benefit of USB ports! – admittedly the USB ports don’t charge at the highest rate but an excellent space saver & multi plug adapter all the same!!
Wanted to avoid wires and extensions that need more space
Just what I was looking for with the shape and individual switches for each socket did not block other socket on the wall which a a lot do additional bonus charging ports will definitely recommend this product.
As above…used for toaster..I-pad charging..very pleased..would recommend.
I like this as can turn plugs off one at a time also has place for charging phone ipad
Bought the extension socket for obvious reasons. But a great price, delivered quickly, wrapped securely. It sorted a problem out for us, we didn’t want an extension socket with a load of wire looking untidy.
A great buy
The item arrived in a plain box, which can be fully recycled. Included is a small instruction pamphlet with the usual safety advisories.
The design is such that it is slightly offset towards the left. This means that on a double wall socket, it will not obstruct the other socket, provided you use a plug with lead on it — a larger device, like a powerline plug, will surely be blocked though. It does not obstruct the switch on the wall socket either.
The extension sits flush with the wall socket. Unfortunately, it does not come with an adjustable feet for the wall. This means that when you plug in something in the outer-most (left) socket of the plug, the plug might come out of the wall socket a bit.
The grounding pin is connected to all three sockets on the plug. I’m just putting that out here, as there was a similar plug on Amazon that stated it should not be used with appliances that require a ground.
I was disappointed to note that one of the safety door was permanently open. I could see that it was present, just that it would not close. I’ve taken a star off the rating due to this. In my case it is still useable, but obviously one should take care to double-check it if you have toddlers around that can reach it.
The USB ports work, but haven’t checked the voltages under load. I’ll leave that to another reviewer.
Other than the safety door issue, it appears to be well made – it doesn’t feel like “cheap plastic”. I like the aesthetics of the plug as well. I can’t vouch for its longevity, but will certainly update this review if that’s been an issue.

Update 16/10/2022
Lencent has reached out regarding the issue with the safety door and offered to send out a replacement. The replacement is working as expected and has no faults. So, I’m happy with the proactive response from Lencent and I have changed the 4-star rating to a 5-star rating.
Does exactly what it needs to do: nice and stable, and effective switches.
