Tower Extension Lead, BEVA Surge Protected Extension Lead

Love it and the light makes it easier to see what you’re doing when the item is behind furniture

Small and compact and great that the lead slides inside the base so you can pull out as much or as little as you need.

I already like the make Tower so didn’t hesitate to try the extension tower. It is really quite impressive for a reasonably priced extension tower. It has 9 sockets, 9!!! I’m not sure I would entirely trust 9 plugs into that but it is surge protected. My son is happily using it for his tv, Xbox, speaker, lamp and his phone, watches and EarPods plugged into the usb ports, of which it has 4. This isn’t individually switched it has one switch for all plugs/ports. Its cord is just over 1.6m long and it rolls up into the base so there’s not lots of wires trailing about which is a nice touch. It’s quite small for something with so many sockets and it doesn’t get hot to the touch.

Considering how many things a teen has plugged in or charging up at any one time I think this is a must!

I would definitely recommend!

This extension tower is built well from a mix of PC and ABS, there are no rattles, loose fitting parts or creaking from the main tower body. The tower has non-slip silicone feet that do a great job of keeping it stable even on slippery surfaces. The cable is of a sufficient length for most uses, and it can be wound up for storage, which is nice rather than having to wrap it around haphazardly. It also has an on and off switch with a power indicating LED, which is ideal as you can easily power down everything on the extension quickly.

All nine of the plug sockets function as expected and have no issues retaining plugs without difficulty when plugging or unplugging. The plugs have plenty of clearance between the sockets, so you can use fairly wide plugs without much trouble. Although it still won’t fit two of my larger Wi-Fi plugs side by side, which are massive, and I am yet to find a power strip that can accommodate them so far.

The same goes for the usb-a ports, they work well and have no issues with any of my cables or USB devices. They aren’t PD or QC levels of fast, but it will work well for overnight charging of practically any device. According to the instructions, the USB ports top out at 12W/5V2.5A on a single socket or 17W/5V3.4A across multiple. The USB ports are especially handy for those random gadgets that need topped up sporadically. If you need a faster charge for a device that supports PD or QC, you can use a dedicated plug for it and reserve the built-in ones for devices that require a lower current.

My only issue to be honest so far with this unit is that the rotating base and the rest of the tower are a bit too loosely connected. The rotation feels to be plastic on plastic, so it doesn’t turn easily or smoothly, but it works well enough for occasional winding and unwinding. If you’re keeping this in one place, it shouldn’t bother you once you’ve got it setup. A trick I’ve found if you want to wind the wire up without unplugging everything is to just rotate the base to wind the cable in, instead of rotating the tower itself, which would spin everything connected.

I’m not a huge fan of the phone holder feature, it looks like a great way to wreck the charging port on a phone or tablet if the extension lead gets knocked over with something on top of it. I’d much prefer a bowel shaped top that you could put small USB devices into or a wireless charger spot that you could use for things like wireless headphone cases. It’d be much more useful than the two device slots it currently has, but I suppose it’s down to personal preference, I don’t like to keep my extension cables in plain view, so it’s not much use to me.

The instructions also need to include some warnings about using this at full capacity with the cable wound up in the base. It’s common knowledge that extension cables should be fully extended, or you need to significantly derate them when in use. Otherwise, you risk melting the wire’s insulation and will quickly become a fire hazard.

At the time of writing, this tower is on sale for 23.99 with the current coupon, which is a bargain for what you’re getting. Other extension leads of similar build quality and sockets tend to cost a bit more than this. Even at the full price, it’s definitely still competitive with many of the alternatives out there. I have no reason not to recommend this, it’s a great extension lead as long as you are sensible and don’t try to run 3250 watts through it while the cable is coiled up in the base.

I am disabled and I found having this next to me put all my cables and chargers in one place. No more tripping. Safety is a feature.

What a great extension block, everything has been thought of… well nearly everything, i’ll get onto that in a moment, sockets are strong, the tower itself is well made and the power cord winder built into the block is genius, it also has surge protection, but ill take that with a pinch of salt, also it has usb a charging points.

Where this tower block missed a great opportunity is not putting usb a Quick charge 3.0 and some usb c charging points PD 2.0 to bring it into 2023, other than that a great extender tower block

This tower extension lead is a very good size, with room for 9x 3-pin plugs and 4 USB ports. It feels well made from top quality materials, and stands securely and safely on hard surfaces (floor/desk/shelves).
I got it to place behind my couch in order to organise the plugs and wires behind there. Much neater than it was previously with a standard straight length extension lead.
I like that the power cable is stored in the base and can be pulled out to the required length. You turn the ‘dial’ at the bottom to wind the cable back in.
It has a power light/switch so you can see when it’s on, and for extra peace of mind, it has a surge/overload protection cut out.
Looks great and does the job whilst giving easy access to lots of electrical sockets.
Worked perfectly.
Good price for the size!

This is just a great product, it keeps everything neat and tidy. There’s a clear light that comes on when connected to power. It has a good number of sockets and USB ports. The power lead is extendable so it’s as compact as you need it, the lead stores inside the unit. Very pleased with this item.

A very versatile tower allowing me to use 9 x 3 pin uk plugs and 4 x usb A slots. In white the tower is made up of one side has the 4 usb slots with the red on/off overload reset switch, then on the further 3 sides all contain the 3 x uk plug socket slots. By turning the tower i can release the extension lead which can be extended to 1.65 metres then turn the opposite way to hide the lead reeling it back into the tower or the underside has a rotating point to extend and retract the lead, the feet have anti slip grips but what i really really love is on the top of the tower theres slide holes either side to hold my phone which is great keeping it off the floor or having more long leads everywhere giving a messy looks so this is ideal but theres nothing stopping me using the tower on my side with the phone in the slot and set up to watch programmes/films etc , ive got a lot from the item the price is really good for the variety and set up however when i ordered this theres even more money off making this the best tower at a outrageously good price.

Perfect in every way, well made and well packaged. Just what was needed
10/10. Thank you.

Just what I wanted to keep 8 plugs tidy in a small space. It has 4 sockets on the top layer and 4 sockets on the bottom layer, top 4 sockets can be turned off separately or visa-versa. Very useful and works well.

Purchased as last version (different manufacturer) was recalled, not a great design as the cables get in the way of switches and large transfomers/adaptors interfer with neighbouring sockets. Noticed this morning that the night light flickers a lot now
