I spilt tea whilst sitting near the sofa and luckily my old one was plugged off but I felt so scared to turn it on incase of a burst electrical wise so I ordered a brand new one (just looked behind my old ones name) and this came and hasn’t disappointed since! 🙂
This is a great item. Like the reel feature to keep cable tidy. Using it in the church for TV and screen use. Can keep it in a cupboard for storage when not in use.
This extension is so light weight it’s fab! Ordered for my elderly grandma who still likes to do a little gardening, but she was struggling with her older heavy extension leads, she has been able to freely move and wind this one back up with no issues at all.
This is a handy extension cable which has a lot of wire on it for probably the cheapest price I could find. I would say my only issue with this is the extension cord can get stuck quiet often and requires a bit of force to move it out sometimes whether that is winding it in or out it’s very stiff. Other than that works fine, the casing does seem a bit flimsy on the blue top but the base underneath it is sturdy enough.
Dedcent piece of kit and serves its purpose. Seems to be well made. Only one little gripe is that the reel winder is a little bit stumpy and short leaving it awkward to wind reel in but no big deal really.
Cable is sturdy and a good length. You do need to take a wee bit of care at times when winding the cable back in. However, it does do the job.
I needed a light handy small lead as I have a larger unwieldy lead that can be a pain to lug around when you just need to vac the car.
I have “lost” 2 similar size handy leads to my kids which are invariably lent out, never to return!
However, back to my product review..
First impression was great as I spotted that it has an overload resettable trip, which is a good feature to stop excessive cable overload. The plug fuse is rated at 10A in keeping with the cable rating.
While the lead will be ok for the occasional light use it will get I did notice that it is a lot more flimsy than my past “lost” leads.
When I rewound the lead I noticed the casing flexing more than I would deem adequate for a long life.
Rewinding is a little fiddly due to the lack of a handle, this one has a sunken area to the rear to provide grip when rewinding, but is no substitute for a handle.
To sum up I think it is a good enough lead for the price I paid but if you are thinking of a lead for any more than light occasion use then I would look at a sturdier product with a handle.
In retrospect I would have paid a bit extra for a sturdier product had I have known, but hey ho, it will be ok for the use it will get, it will do.
