Young male cat decided that “under dad’s desk” was a great quiet place to scent mark and relieve himself when he couldn’t be bothered to walk to the litter tray. Circuit breaker on the main fuse box tripped out, we eventually worked out what had blown, and frankly the cat was very lucky not to get himself fried.
Bought this tower as a replacement. It has the advantage of on-board USB, and the vertical form factor means I can stow it on a shelf under the desk, to avoid future such “accidents”.
Good points:
+ works nicely
+ solidy built
+ easier to keep out of the way
+ plenty of outputs
+ enough power rating for my purposes
+ cat cannot now comfortably reach my plug sockets
Minor gripes, but these were mostly clear from the pictures and description, so not big complaints:
– switches work one horizontal row at a time, which isn’t quite as good as individual switches on the plugs
– it can be a bit more fiddly to plug into these than on a flat horizontal power block.
[ Side note: cat in question has since been neutered – let that be a warning to us all! ]
I needed a surge protector to replace a flat, older model that wouldn’t accept a bigger plug that was needed. This chubby tower style sits unobtrusively on its shelf, and does not keel over like other vertical extension towers sometimes do. The switches feel substantial and the sockets are accessible. As a result, my cable tv box and modem can sit squarely on their shelf without being pulled out of place. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Has enabled me to tidy my desk by doing away with multiple trailing cables for one neat plugin location on desk. The 5 meter cable gives flexibility for desk location. Also, I have a black desk, therefore, the tower camouflages neatly. Integrated USB outlets extends utility……excellent design all round
After a recent refurb i wanted to cut down on some space and bought this unit to serve that purpose. Good length cable and serves its purpose well. No issues
I will admit first of all I didn’t fancy tackling the wiring around my desk but I’m glad I did, saying that I’ve still got 4 sockets and five USBS to use and it’s not even getting warm.
I’m running my laptop, several hard-drives and an external monitor on this thing and it’s more than standing it’s ground (Standing on the desk actually). If you can visualize this as a tower block you have a button where you can turn on or off a floor of sockets as it’s four sockets around by three sockets high.
The only thing I would like to see on something like this would be a digital display on top showing how much power it’s pulling in as it’s rated as 3250Watts which is the maximum draw for a UK wall socket so that I could make sure I was within the limits. The 6 USBs come in handy too for charging various devices.
It’s really good, all outlets works fine including usb’s..doesn’t have too much annoying led lights like my previous extension(had to cover them with black stickers) it’s only been less than a month since I received it and so far so good, hope it lasts for a long time 🙂
I had several extension sockets with cables from all directions at my feet and didn’t think Tower sockets were the answer but this more stubby block has taken all plugs and sits neatly away from my feet which can now move wherever they like. Not very important but as it has switches with lights they could make them seeable though a main light is bright if not hidden from view. Hence the drop of a sta
Today’s TVs require lots of sockets – for us, there’s the TV, firestick, Virgin box, sound bar, woofer, router. Then there’s lamps (2) and a photoframe and a Christmas tree (actually one of the lamps). Altogether, that’s 9 plugs requiring 9 sockets! (Actually 10 sockets because one of the lamps is controlled by Alexa via a smart plug whose width takes up two sockets).
Previously, we had a six socket bar with a 4 socket bar chained to it. Apart from the danger of overloading, we couldn’t use the vauum cleaner, etc. without disconnecting something and unplugging items overnight required physically removing the plug (and trying not to unplug the router by mistake – otherwise no wifi for about half an hour).
This tower has 10 sockets in 4 blocks of 3. What a difference! Everything can be accommodated with 2 sockets to spare. And we can switch off items overnight with the push of a button.
Although it doesn’t help a lot with tidying the wiring, it does allow smarter positioning and so makes the wiring neater.
We are very pleased with it and would recommend it.
