13 IN 1 Tower Extension Lead 3M, 4 USB +1C Slot Extension Lead Surge Protected 8 Way Outlets, 3250W Extension Cords Overload Protection, Power Extension Tower for PC/Phone/Laptop/Speaker/TV
Just what I needed
I never had enough plugs to meet my needs with all the consoles I have connected to my tv. This extension lead is great! Thick long sturdy cable, 8 outlets which are in pairs of 2 which each pair have a power switch. There are also 4 usb slots and a usb c slot. I much prefer this tower style extension lead over flat long one.
power and protectio
My tangled mess of extension cords is a thing of the past, thanks to this 13-in-1 powerhouse. The 3-meter cord length provides ample reach, making it easy to connect various devices without the limitations of proximity to power outlets. The tower design with 8 outlets, 4 USB ports, and 1 type-C slot ensures that all my devices, from PC and phone to laptop and TV, can be powered at the same time, making it an indispensable addition to my tech setup. The 3250W power capacity is more than sufficient for my household needs, and the build quality of the extension lead is top-level. The sturdy construction instills confidence in its durability, and the sleek design adds a modern touch to my workspace. The surge protection feature is a standout element that adds an extra layer of security for my valuable electronics.
Safety firs
For me, with any extension cable that has as many as 8 sockets, safety is the most important. This claims to have a number of safety features which, if true, is remarkably and a piece of mind. Safety feature to prevent damage to devices and prevent fire. Some of the safety is overload protection, power surge, temperature control, fire proof material. On top of the extension, there are vents, which I assume is to prevent overheating. So safety is great with this extension.
It has 8 socket, divided into twos. Each two socket has a switch to turn on or off. Plus it has 4 usbs and one usb-c. Personally, I would have preferred to have more usb-c socket and less usb. USB cables are becoming redundant and USB-C is the future. Both charge very fast. The extension feels cheap, not saying it isn’t built well, it just doesn’t feel premium. Despite this, it still a great extension. One thing I would change is the main switch near the cable. It can easily be knocked and switch off the whole extension. Which can be very frustrating. I have eventually positioned it in a place where there minimal chance of switching it off by mistake.
Versatile Space Saving Extensio
This 13 IN 1 Tower Extension Lead is ideal for saving space under your desk rather than using a traditional trailing socket. As we are persistently using more and more USB-powered devices, the range of sockets also included is a godsend, as these free up your sockets for your computer and monitor etc. The build quality is not the very best, and the unity is fairly lightweight, and more stubborn power cables could upset it, so care needs to be taken in what plugs in where, but all in all, it is a useful and functional product. 4 stars.
13 IN 1 Tower Extension Lead: A Handy Desk Companio
I’ve recently switched from using a floor based extension lead to using the 13 IN 1 Tower Extension Lead with a 3M cable.
It’s a nifty little device that’s proving to be quite a space-saver, neatly sitting between my two screens. So far, it’s comfortably handling four plugs — two for the screens, one for a lamp, and the other for an SSD external drive.
The design of this tower is quite clever, with four sides and each side accommodating two UK plugs. But what really caught my attention is the individual on/off switches for each side. This feature is quite practical as it lets you control which parts of the tower are powered, helping to save energy. You can have just one outlet in use without the others being unnecessarily on, which is great for energy efficiency.
The tower also doubles as a charging hub, offering speedy charging capabilities. It has 4 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port, which is handy for charging multiple devices. However, I do feel it could benefit from a few more USB ports. Perhaps a future version could include 6 USB-A ports on one side and 6 USB-C ports on the other, which would make it even more versatile.
Another small suggestion I have is regarding the placement of the master on/off switch. It’s currently at the back, which isn’t the most convenient location. Having it at the front or even on the top of the unit would be a nice improvement, especially for easy access.
Despite these minor points for potential enhancement, I’m quite pleased with this product. It’s great for organising power extensions on a desk, especially when you’re combining it with USB ports for charging various devices. The added benefits of safety features like surge and overload protection, along with the generous 3-meter extension cable, make this a highly functional and useful product. It’s definitely something I’d recommend for anyone looking to streamline their desk’s power and charging setup.
