Duronic Extension Lead Tower ST10B Power Strip Cord Adaptor 10 Gang Way | Surge & Spike Protector| Electric UK Multi Plug Socket Adapter | Max. 3000W Capacity | 1.8 Metre Power Cable, Black
Just what I need
A standing electrical plug extension is much better than the traditional one. and it is simple and easy to use. have been using it for some time and still working well
Very useful
This tower saves me from straining to get to sockets down the side of television unit. It is neat, wires do not seem to be tangled and I am pleased. Does exactly what I wanted.
Very sturdy and good calue
I love them, they are great. Helps with lack of storage in a home where ppl can use them as Towers. I ordered two. I 100% recommend them. Very sturdy and brilliant value for money and there is space for 10 plugs.
It does as you would expect and does it well
Well made Multiplug Tower, the angled sockets help keep things tidy and allow for odd shaped plugs. Really good construction and perfect for a home office as we continue to battle through the Covid-19 pandemic
Very neat & tidy
Very useful having the base to allow you to stand this on its end (we have it behind the TV in the corner of the room). Also very useful that all of the sockets are angled (approx 45) as this seems to give a little more room for any larger plugs.
Very good extension lead if you need this number of sockets – I would highly recommend it.
Does what it should
Arrived on time, 4 plugs plugged into the plug extention, easy for.getting plugs in and out, like that.it has the safety surge ability. All works good. Doesn’t take up alot of space, nice little standing extention.
Great value
This is excellent with 10 plug storage, much better than the ones that lay flat, looks much tidier. It feels very sturdy and made with good quality plastic. I am delighted with it and it’s great value for money.
Life save
Great product, we recently got a pet terrapin and as such had a few more plugs to plug in…. this product is sturdy and can be placed out of the way can hold up to 8 plugs if needed
Tower brilliant, delivery service left a lot to be desired
The extension tower.
I cannot say the same about the delivery service as the package was found at night by the driver who delivered my takeaway, it was left sitting on the post of my gate at the top of my drive. I had been up to my gate a few time during the day but it was not there at the time I was there.
10 way extension lead
I needed a 10-way extension lead…this is a 10-way extension lead. You’ll not be surprised but it holds 10 plugs, the plug sockets are angled to allow longer plugs to not interfere…which is nice.
Great value for money
A great piece of tech for storing many sockets on a desktop workstation or in a home setting. Its at a good price point and will work great. Base unit however is too light and its prone to falling over. I have mine secured with some bluetack on my workstation desktop at home and its solid. No issues so far.
Works exactly as it should!
Excellent value for the price. With the capacity to take up to 10 plugs, you would be hard pressed to run this at full capacity. I would recommend observing the manufacturer guidelines regarding the total amperage this unit can handle to avoid any problems. I haven’t had a single issue with my unit.
Built from sturdy plastic, this unit will probably be around longer than me…
My personal use is mainly for musical equipment at home, studio and live performances. Handles everything with ease. Plugged in 100 watt amplifier, pedal board and individual power supplies with no issues. The fact that it stands like a tower is very useful, keeps it off the floor and is unobtrusive.
Wish I’d bought one years ago.
Tidy Tidy
Arrived quickly, pleasantly surprised by the layout of the plugs on opening. This gang tower is ideal if you have a bunch of low wattage equipment in one place, tidies up the plugs and protects the appliances from surges and spikes. By going upwards rather than along it will fit into smaller footprint areas than the common extension gang sockets, another plus point is that it is black so as your power leads are normally behind furniture it does not reflect light and say here I am! All in all great product well designed and I can truthfully recommend buying it.
Not “New” but works fine !
Item was certainly not New as described, delivered with no interior box, covered in scratches, dings and dust ! Did not return as I needed it in a hurry! That been said, it appears to be of good quality and working fine !
Perfec
I bought this for work as we never have enough plug sockets. It’s perfect for what we need – quite sturdy so it stands up well, and fits under the desk. It’s certainly tidied up our wires, and gave us extra plug sockets, which we’re badly needed.
Good price for so many sockets.
Recommended.
Space save
I wish I’d seen this years ago. Tucks away nicely at the back of my desk and has just the right number of plug points for my needs now working from home.
Ideal
Ideal solution for home office. We simply didn’t have enough sockets for the equipment we needed to work from home, so this was an easy and convenient answer. Plugs into the mains and gives us some more versatility. The flex is long enough to keep things practical, and the stable, upright design keeps it neat.
Great Extension with plenty of space
Whoever designed this, put a bit of thought in it. I got this to replace the standard horizontal extension that was running behind my microwave. I wanted something that took less space, was black to hid it better and had the capacity to put and take out plugs with having to sacrifice other devices. This ticked all the boxes and to bonus is that it is surge protected. It now sits in the kitchen but you wouldn’t know it was there. I has a small tv, Alexa and light plugged into it. With ten sockets there is room to plug in devices easily when needed. It also takes all types of plugs. I don’t know if you have come across the problem of those large plugs with the lead coming from it different directions to what you adapter is suitable for. As this has spaces in the rear and front it doesn’t matter.
No issues over 1.5 years
I’ve been using this for way over a year now and never had any problems. It runs my pc like 14 hours a day, 2 monitors, a console, phone chargers. All with no issues over 1.5years
Great value and Space saving
Great tower extension, used it to plug all my computer gear into and it fit snugly behind my desk. Much better than your standard flat extension. Saves a tonne of space and cable mess.
Great bit of ki
I am always very wary of using big extension plugs due to overloading them, but this is perfect for everything we need.
It’s solid, sturdy, small enough to hide behind the tv unit.
The plug sockets are angled so wires can’t get tangled & it has a surger built in as well so that it will cut off if it does get overloaded.
Perfect for what I need & I may look again for other parts of the house.
Great build quality and value for money!
For the price you pay compared to other extensions this is a very sturdy, reliable 10 socket extension. It feels and looks better than your common supermarket extension. It also comes with a very handy stand, saving space behind your cabinets. At first I thought the stand wouldn’t hold it when the extension was fully loaded but I was wrong; It stands strong and proud.
The anti surge protections is a added bonus for any folks wanting to protect their expensive consoles, TV’s or PC’s. Why wouldn’t anyone want to pay a few extra pounds to help protect their goods?
It comes in two colours but the black (what I bought) is very slick and sits very smartly, making your corners look a little less tacky.
Simply amazing. Good quality and value for money.
I bought it because I wanted to tidy all my cables and have all my monitors/chargers and raising desk connected to a single strip lead so I could attach it against the bottom of my desk top. It’s amazing how many connections it has and I never had any issues with it. I use it daily as it is my hub for all the electronics that I use for work and leisure.
Good value for money.
Using behind the TV
I bought this to replace two extension cables that were behind the TV. It really helped tidy up behind the TV and move the cables off the floor. Really good.
Keeps plugs neat and tidy
Rely pleased with this it came very quickly The power surge is ideal also the light on the base. The tower keeps all the plugs nice and tidy and plenty free if need to plug anything else in as long as dont go over recommend wattage.
Good product. owned for over 1 yea
I now own two of these towers.
They seem well built and are much easier to manage than the standard extension cords. They’re also very discreet. I like that there is a black option which I find is more pleasing than the standard white ones.
I’ve had the first one I bought for over a year now and no issues whatsoever.
Still chugging along
OK, so I bought this back in 2018 and I’m glad I did. I’ve certainly experienced a few power cuts in that time; however, my surge protection light is still lit up. I don’t know what to say, really. Its stand that allows it to remain upright really does save me space, and if I’m fumbling for my phone’s charging cord in the dark, it helps immensely.
I don’t really have anything too taxing plugged in there currently, though: plugs for two hard drive enclosures, a USB hub that’s continuously charging a phone and a Samsung Fast Charge charger for my phone.
The best extension lead
This is the best extension lead out there. You can plug up to 10 items in to it and it stands up making cable management a lot easier. It looks great and does the job you would expect from an extension lead.
Great value, functional, space saving
Works great, much tidier and smaller footprint than 10 sockets lined up on the floor. Added surge protection is nice when you have a lot of technology plugged into one extension.
very good produc
Made my desk space cleaner as all the cables go to single point now and its all tidy, 45deg angle to plug is an awesome idea everyone should do that as different designs of plugs don’t get in each other’s way while all the cables face downwards. I am very pleased with this.
It's big, and it's black, and I be afraid of it...
If you didn’t know, that’s a quote from the Two Ronnies.
I needed to replace a 6-way power adaptor. I bought this one.
Seems fine – however, I only got around to plugging it in today.
One of the reasons why I bought this one over other ones is that the sockets are arranged at an angle which seemed like a better idea in case I had any weird-shaped plugs that had the leads coming out of the top rather than the bottom. Turns out that where I’m using it just has regular plugs, so that wasn’t an issue.
The standing-up bit is nice.
Second one of these I've bough
Great product
Loved the first one so much I bought another
…I mean only ‘cos I needed to plug more thing in in another room – not because I just wanted to have another one lying around
Seriously….. great produc
Does what it says on the ti
Works as expected. Nice and sturdy due to the stand included. Can work as an upright extension or can just be put on the floor. With 10 way extension it should be enough for almost all needs.
Works
So far this is working well. Tidied up an eyesore and reduced the surface area which we have cables running over as the tower is upright instead of being laid flat.
Neat and tidy
I love the sleek lines of this plug tidy, very stylish. It looks good on a table or floor. It is easy to assemble and takes plugs very easily. I now have all my plugs in one place. I am very pleased with the product and can recommend it.
Exactly what is needed
Happy with the purchase, its allowed me to have been cable management surrounding my PC desktop. Whilst the base is great and holds it all in place, it is a bit bulky
Took longer to clean behind the telly than to install!
My television is in the corner of the living room along with the various other must-haves — sound bar, Humax box, all of which have cables. Oh, then there’s the small lamp, and…well, need I go on. Suffice to say it’s like a power station back there and is a real pain to get to. And even worse trying to work out which cable goes where when everything is plugged into one of those extension thingies that just lie on the floor. Recently we have a wake up call when nothing would switch on, and upon investigation — yes, I had to crawl into that Black Hole — found that the surge protector thing had actually done it’s job and switched everything off. This made us realise that it was almost as elderly as yours truly, so time for a replacement — the extension thing, not me, before you ask.
This upright one is brilliant. Sturdy, well made it has five sockets either side, placed at an angle for easier access, it takes up very little floor space which has actually enabled us to move the television etc, back a few inches. Okay this doesn’t sound much but when you live in a rabbit hutch every inch counts. The two indicator lights — yes, two, one for Power and one for Surge — are really handy as you know exactly what’s going on at a glance. The old one simply had a rocker switch which had switched itself off, but I had to get close enough to see where the problem was.
The longest part of installing this was cleaning away the cobwebs, hoovering the floor and dusting the back of all the Stuff. I think some of our other extension leads will be replaced with this.
Spare plug socket solved
We had one of those 4 way extension sockets before this arrived. Now we’ve got the one extension for upto10 devices stored neatly being the telly with room for another device without unplugging sonething or looking for another socket to use which is often in another room.
Good one
Very useful when a lot of electrical items need to be connected. Also, the vertical structure is far better suited as dust doesn’t accumulate if left on the floor (which is what I sometimes do)
Excellent produc
I have several of these, one for the tv setup including sound bar,Apple TV etc and three others for computer desk setups- lots of home working going on for some reason.
All function really well, upright stance saves space and makes it easier to plug and unplug laptop and phone chargers, sockets angled so can accommodate bulkier chargers.
Very stable specially if heavier chargers at base level.
Highly recommended.
Everything you're looking fo
In a multi-socket you’re looking for three basic things- plug room, surge protection and space saving ability- this product delivers on all of these points, ten sockets (all with room for smart plug adaption), surge protected and neat and tidy in an easy to hide away tower.
The solution we were looking for!
With awkward plug socket placement in our office, this is exactly what we needed! We have 4 monitors, 2 gaming PCs, sub and speakers, recording mic all plugged in with no issues! Really great quality and stands up nicely by itself.
How did I survive?
How did I survive without one of these to organise all the plugs I now need with my computer? It knocks spots off the “lay flat” type, a must for every heavy user!
Great value, would recommend
Well it hasn’t caught fire yet with a gaming PC, two monitors, an Xbox One X, bookshelf speakers and a dedicated amplifier plugged into it, so if say it’s pretty good for 12
In all seriousness the surge and spike protection really eases my mind knowing that my set up won’t just burst into flames or cause a power outage. Will likely buy another in the future for my television and my retro consoles
Great product!!
Great for tight spaces. I’ve used this in a recording studio and it’s great. Only thing missing are switches which would have made it outstanding. If you have a need for multiple sockets in a convenient package, this is for you.
Works well and solves a problem.
Not pretty but does its job. Ideal behind the computer table as we have several printers, laptop speakers and music recording gear on it. We dont have everything on at once but its nice to be able to turn something on without having to swap plus in an extension.
It Does what it should
I bought as I needed more sockets around the entertainment area (TV, WiFi etc…) and it fullfilled the requirements.
One good thing was that the base is removeable as i had limited access under the TV unit.
I’ve had it a few months and everything is still working fine, but would expect that from this type of item anyway.
KEEP IT TIDY
Just what I needed to keep the wiring for my television, Firestick, DVD player , set top box etc all in one neat place and very tidy rather than the usual tangle of wiring.
Ideal for Christmas lighting
Used for our array of external Christmas decorations, had issues with the shape of the power plugs not fitting back to back on a normal extension sockets, due to these being angled and on both sides of the extension it wasn’t as issue with this, stands well in the upright stand keeping the plugs away from the floor too.
Compact extension.
Bought this to add to our need for sockets at christmas but is now in use elsewhere and provides multi sockets in a very small space (upright)…..it is also anti surge so the house circuitry is protected.
love these things! so much better for an office
i really love these as for they have some big advantages. first a clean floor as the cables can be managed into the desk and second when moving from desk to desk and needing to plug in a laptop, its far easier then on the floor and if you need to move to the floor simply remove from the stand and it’s floor ready!
Good produc
Works fine, although haven’t tested the surge protector. Bear in mind that this is based on you using normal sized plugs. If you have any larger ones with built in transformers they will overlap other sockets reducing the number you can plug in.
Very useful.
I bought two of these and use them on a daily basis. I have had no problems yet and will buy another when needed. I love the angled sockets, good design. I’ve had them for a few months now.
10 gang tower socke
This item has saved me a lot of space by not using extension cables. All my computer equipment is now plugged into the one place. A warning though as the total ampage of the plug ins must not exceed 13amps. This item would not therefore be suitable for washing machines or other heavy duty equipment. Excellent for what I use it for and I am now considering purchasing another for use with my TV Video etc.
Great socket organize
Fantastic for multimedia use. DVD, satellite, TV, soundbar and splitter have never looked so organized behind the TV stand. Doesn’t fall over when removing or adding plugs. Only let down is I’d prefer the base to attach more positively because it has the tendency to fall off if you pick the extension up to vacuum underneath. Recommended
Does not have an on/off switch
I wanted this item to help tidy my PC wiring. So far, I am using just 5 of the available 10 sockets on the Duronic. One disappointment was the lack of an on/off switch on the unit.
Ideal for all you outlets in one compact space.
I like this item because I find it better than the normal long horizontal type. To have so many outlets in this compact unit is great when these days we have so many low power requirements, usually in a small space. Recommended!
Does the job perfectly
I have had this for about 6 months now and it works perfectly – I have had no problems with it. I am always using at least 6 of the ports and it copes with it no problem. I have a spacer heater that is constantly in one of the ports and I was worried that it would be too large a capacity but nope, still great. I highly recommend this!
A stable towe
Saves having wires trailing all over the house for folks to trip over ideal for phone chargers and other small appliances, no need for plug in adaptors cluttering your socket outlets. Don’t overload it though, no more than 3KW I personally would not exceed 2 KW
How did we cope without it?
It’s sleek design and colour makes it easily blended. The automatic surge cut out is a bonus. Makes life a whole lot easier then multiple extensions all over the place.
Space Save
Love this plug extension.
The tower design means it has a very small footprint.
The angle the plugs go in means there is no interference with the neighbouring plug.
The fact both sides are used means that even long or larger adapter type plugs don’t block the opposite ple space, which happens on shorter extensions where the plugs are laid out in 2 parallel rows.
If you want an extension for 10 plugs that lets you use every point, regardless of the shape or size of the plug, this is the one for you.
Read several negative review, so I was hesitant in buying this. However, the positive reviews were about 98%(?) so I thought, there is about 2% to go wrong. I wouldn’t be so lucky to fall into that 2% right?
Well, as you would have guessed by the star, this product all worked out.
Some people mentioned the cable were 1.8m not 2m. Not sure and it doesn’t concern me.
Plug melted? I only put 200-500 watts worth of load on it. Also I make sure I cleaned the plug before I connected to the main. I do notice there were some OIL residue on the plug itself. Could that be reason why some plug melted away? Maybe (oil although prevents oxidation, but it is an insulator).
Cheap plastic? Sturdy enough to accept 10 plugs and stood up itself without fallen over.
Need to reset everytime new appliance is added? Pretty sure that is a broken unit. I would return it to Amazon without hesitation.
Overall, I’m happy at what I paid for. I mean, it wasn’t as if the seller was trying to sell cheap product at premium price anyway.
Should this socket tower failed prematurely, I will amend this review accordingly. Stay tuned.
Great Space Save
Smaller footprint than the traditional socket extensions, great space saver on my desk. Also means I can see and access all my plugs (all 10 of them) without having to crawl around under my desk.
perfect for my use
I needted a multi socket extention to connect all my gadgets. this item fits perfectly. I use couple smart plugs to control power for all my devices. smart plug for main switch and others for monitor, pc, desk ligh, stereo and ect. Using google assitant i can control all of them so i can put this extention behind the desk and forget it.
Good choice!
Liked the ifact it was an ideal gift for my dad.. feel more comfortable knowing his not overloading his old extension within the house and there’s no safety surge on them.
My many cables are now organised.
Thought I would give this product a try as I needed to organise the many cables for the TV, skybox to make room for the Christmas tree lights!! The order arrived as per the stated delivery date and just in time for Christmas. I ordered a black unit and putting it together was very simple and once all plugs were added it was great to hide it behind the tv so everything was tidily hidden away. I am thinking I might get another one for my office.
Excellent value produc
We did have to move a cabinet to one side as we needed the tower to be floor standing hidden from view so purchasers need to be aware that they should take the size of the stand if they want to do the same. No fault of the design just something we should have thought of.
Well buil
Bought on prime so as always fast delivery. The 10 gang comes well packaged with all you needing to do is popping the base on.
The quality of the product feels very sturdy. I have set mine up behind the TV where I have plugs for Xbox, soundbar, 4k fire stick, sound bar, WiFi ect so it is a busy plug with some large power consumption goods.
The tower can take 10 plugs where it is surge protected.
I have 8 plugs in as you can see with the pics, the tower is very sturdy and it provides steady power to all products connected.
Overall very happy with this plug solution. Quality feels high and I feel it is a safe product.
Looks good, works well, well designed
Why are sockets with this many outlets usually so pricey!? This one not only solves a high issue for me, but looks good doing it AND has angled outlets to help with awkwardly shaped plugs!
Does the trick, and does it well!
Sturdy and Nice Compact Item. A MUST HAVE in every Home
Item arrived really soon and prompt. Even sooner than estimated which was a massive bonus for me. As I needed the item URGENTLY. Saves plenty of space and is very compact. Yet to fund out what difference it makes to my Appliances and gadgets that’s connected to it. But so far so good happy with everything thus far. Would definitely recommend
Loads of sockets!
As Christmas approaches, I realise that we have rather more outside Christmas lights than is reasonable and not enough sockets to plug them all into. So my cunning plan is to plug in a timer set to switch on from 5pm to 11pm, then plug this extension into that, then all the different Xmas lights into that (did that make sense?). With 10 sockets, unless you are running the Blackpool illuminations, that should be adequate. Aside from Christmas, the extension being vertical takes up a smaller “footprint” and should enable you to plug in computer, router, printer, etc, etc.
Unobtrusive
I am pleased with this, the kind of thing you wish you had bought ages ago. It’s taken care of all the many plugs at the TV end of the room and sits neatly and unseen behind it. I bought one with sufficient capacity to take care of extras at Christmas. I just need to get all the actual cables tidied better now.
Good VFM
I bought this item for my home office to ensure that my kit and equipment is protected against power surges. A tidy piece of equipment and the upright stand helps to ensure plus are kept tidy. The stand is good and the kit sturdy. For the cost of this at the time of writing (13.99) I think this is excellent value for money.
No more mess behind the television!
Excellent value for money with very prompt delivery. Purchasing this item has really helped to sort all the plugs that we have at the back of our televisions these days as it can support 10 plugs! So much better than the horizontal extension cables I had before which only supported five plugs so needed two! Clutter now sorted!
Does its job very well
This extension tower is something I consider necessary if, like me, you’ve a chaotic rig of consoles and Sky boxes around your TV. The tower design makes it so much easier to manage all the wires and plugs I have, though I used all 10 sockets and still needed more (but surely I don’t need so many game consoles!!) I feel the unit would benefit from some sort of weighted base so that it is less likely to tip if all the sockets are in use, though the weight of the plugs and wires attached to it suffice just the same. I will definitely buy more of these for around the house.
quality goods highly recommended
his was to save using 2 or 3 extentions and will also help for re-charging our mobile phones and can be hidden behind a chair. This will also come in hndy for when i put my christmas tree up as i have 2 lots off 300 lights on it.
Tower lead extension for x10
I liked this product it makes it look neater in the house instead of the lead wires every where.. very sturdy i really like this product i will be ordering another one..
Spaghetti Junction!!
Yesteryear we were happy just to have a television and a VCR () ok a 3D Blue ray player. Not nowadays, now it’s, well the list is too long, don’t get me wrong it is amazing having all these gadgets and we all know that they are a site to look at from the front. God forbid if a visitor happens to see the back it’s like spaghetti junction with all the wires. I have to say this is probably one of the smartest gadgets I’ve bought, it helped sort out my spaghetti junction even better it kept my Wife happier. It’s sturdy, clean and by far the cheapest gadget, it does it’s job well and without doubt money well spent.
Easy cable Management -- Perfect fit -- Cluterless design.
So I bought this to fit in behind my TV cabinet, still be easy to keep the cable clutter minimal, and easily accessible and it’s ticked all 3.
Fits nicely in it’s stand up case with no issue, has multiple connections already with no issues, the cable management side is so easy I can strap the cables to the back of the cabinet, due to the upright fit.
Finally really chuffed with the Duronic Surge protector 10 plug-in connected and hope others have the same situation.
Better than a flat extension lead
It is just the job to make a charging station for all my tablets and mobile phones without taking up so much room as a flat type would. It is working as I expected it to.
Perfect for behind a media cabine
Well, I guess that depends on your media cabinet I suppose! Mine is a long Alphason stand, in a corner but at a slight angle so there is a gap behind the unit where this power strip can stand. It has made plugging and unplugging things behind it so much easier compared to having things either plugged directly into the wall, or on a regular power strip laid on the floor. This may not suit all cases, but for my use case it was perfect. Never had an issue with it at all.
Good upright extensio
Good upright stand, the base is plastic but didn’t let the unit topple over after plugging in unequal numbers of plugs. It’s footprint is a little bigger than usual but makes up with the upright nature of the device. Behind the piano with 7 devices connected. Works well, vert happy for the price 11.
Excellent product for the price
The stand with about 6 devices plugged in is very sturdy, build quality is about what you would expect and it’s made cable management behind my desk a lot easier. Also this is in a bedroom and the lights aren’t too bright or anything which is a plus.
Great extension lead
It’s very simple to stand up, allows for some serious number of connections and can give you some piece of mind in case of energy network issues like surges. Not sure if it can withstand surges as my network is pretty good but still this comes highly recommended.
The best high wattage standard use extension lead.
I have ordered 3 of these all for different uses over the past 10 years and I have never had a problem with any of them, top notch quality would buy again.
I use one for a high end 1200w custom pc which helps with power cuts preventing it from shutting down on short power cuts saving my work.
Although I do wish there was a way to wall mount this and an option for a longer cable as 2 metres isn’t always long enough.
A bargain!!!
This extension tower is great quality and it looks and feels well made and quite stylish for a simple extension lead also the price for this product 13.95 at the time of purchase is an absolute bargain price and I highly recommend it there’s 10 sockets so more than enough for my needs and I’m very pleased with my purchase it works perfectly it’s easy to set up take just seconds and fast delivery too with prime membership
Decent for the price. Some good ideas.
he base makes the tower feel pretty sturdy without anything plugged in. The plastic feels a bit cheap, but for under 10 with 10 socket outlets, surge protection and neon light it is pretty alright. The angled sockets inlets are a good idea. I wouldn’t buy this for the 30+ RRP price.
eally good
fits all my plugs nicely in a corner and no issues. looks good but very light weight so if i pull on a wire too hard the whole tower comes with it. but that doesn’t bother me.
Surge protectio
Update Below!!!!!! Good multi plug extension lead. Can plug in up to 10 electricals and has power surge protection.
Update, so after using this extension lead, for a good few months, I noticed that the Surge Protection Green Light, wasn’t on. I contacted the seller asking for advice and to see if it’s possible that I could still be protected, even tho light had gone out and they replied and Offered to send me another Extension Lead, at no cost to me. 100% free. Which I wasn’t expecting but appreciated the generously very much. Just thought I’d update the review, to let people know that if the same thing happens to you, you can still buy and be confident that seller will send new item to you or give a refund. Big thanks to the seller.
Useful Extension Towe
This is used for powering and charging electronic devices, not all at the same time, two laptops, mobile phones, camera, telephone, lamp, bike battery charger etc. So useful not to have to keep unplugging things. It’s not the prettiest looking tower, but as it’s hidden from view that’s not a problem. 10 sockets is just right in this instance. A great tower that I trust. Would definitely recommend for people needing to power similar items.
Got it for 2/3 of the price it once was.
I take these on holiday for all the chargers etc, they need to be light and this one is.
It also had ten sockets so, suddenly, I am captain Popular on holidays…
Excellent way to get power to devices in my office
This is such a tidy and space saving way to get power to lots of devices at once in an office. I have replaced a UPS which took up lots of space with two towers with surge protection and the place is SO much neater.
Making life much easier now.
I live in a cottage with a limited number of plugs and have wires all over. As I work from home and power issue or surge has the potential to damage the equipment. This is keeping it all clear and being upright saves so much space from the other long style plugs. Delivered quickly and all working well.
Great extension.
Ordered this for son’s bedroom and does the job well, not too bulky and long cable from plug to the tower. Base can be removed for storage or if you are packing to take away.
Absolutely WONDERFUL !
I’ve used this to tidy up the wiring to my TV, Freesat, Freeview, Brennan, Video, DVD Player, and a few other gizmos. It is robust, good looking – and excellent value for money !
I bought this in 2010 because I was running out of sockets near my desk. It’s hard to get excited about an extension lead, but it’s still performing well. The vertical format means you have a lot of sockets in a small amount of floor space.
The surge protection light is still on, but the jury’s out on whether these kind of devices offer true surge protection anyway. With 10 sockets in a small space, it’s impossible to guarantee that your particular plugs and adapters will fit side-by-side, but as a guide I’d say any plugs 5cm or less in width would happily sit next to each other. They all angle downwards, so the cables are generally as neat at they can be.
In the UK a single socket can support up to 13 amps, which is about 3000 watts. This means you can plug devices of up to 300 watts into each of the 10 sockets perfectly safely, or a combination thereof. Considering that most electronic items such as computers, printers, routers, shredders, televisions, phone chargers and cable boxes use less than 100 watts each, you can be sure that you’re within the limits of a single socket.
The base is 15x14cm. It is 40cm high and the tower itself is 5x6cm excluding any plugs.
My house hasn't burnt down ye
This has enabled mean to use a lot more things at my desk as my room does not have many plug sockets.
For the price I was expecting my whole house to burn down but it hasn’t ye
A great alternative to the ordinary style
I don’t know anything about electrics and wattage, so don’t listen to me if you need answers on input and output. Howeve, from an aesthetic stand point and the amount of slots available, it’s brilliant. Doesn’t look or feel cheap, and have had no issues so far!
Fab if you have a few thinks to plug in and doesn’t take up too much space....love it...
Wish i’d Found this sooner as I was using several adapters which were probably a fire hazard! I have this in my bedroom and it’s great to plug in all my hair gadgets, fan, mirror etc and doesn’t take up much room….
This item was what I wanted and expected. It has 10 sockets and a warning light to show the surge protection is working. Many other so called “surge protected” leads do not have this.
When I moved house recently I found that two of my extension leads were no longer protected because I had a spike surge. It had protected my equipment but once it had blown, the lead was still connected but needed changing because the surge protection had been used.
This meant that I had been using my equipment for some months and it was no longer surge protected !!
Why oh why do many manufacturers never have the correct amount of lead. This extension lead said it had a 2M lead. In fact it was 1.90M long, which proved a problem for me in reaching my equipment. I got around this by swapping it for another lead I was using elsewhere in the house.
Manufacturers / sellers, please be a bit more generous with the amount of lead, another cm or two above the stated size would not bankrupt you !!
