BESTEK8 Way Surge Protected Tower Extension Lead Socket Plug with 6-Port (5V/8A) USB Power Strip 3250W/1.8M-Black

I had one of those long, flat extension units close to the TV. It always stuck out too much and looked unsightly. I needed something else to feed the TV, the Virgin Cable box, the DVD, the Soundbar, and also something to plug the laptop charger into, and some USB sockets for the phones. This is perfect for the job. Because of its shape, it tucks away nicely in the corner without looking ugly. I won't bore you with all the technical details, they are all listed on Amazon. Suffice to say that this device is exactly what I was looking for. I've had it running for a few weeks now, and there have been no problems whatsoever. If you are not using the whole 'bank' of plug sockets, you can turn some of them off, and there are indicator lights to let you know what's what. It is surge protected, to prevent sudden fluctuations in the supply from damaging equipment, and above all, it feels and looks robust, and well made. There are no ominous electrical hums or crackles, and plugs slide in and out without being forced. Expensive? Yes it is. But, you get what you pay for and I expect this this to last well into the future.

Well built product. Small and unobtrusive. 2 switches for each bank of power sockets (8 in total). So each switch controls a bank of 4 power sockets.It has a high joules rating (1500J) and 6 x 2.4V USB intelligent charging ports. LEDs that light up are not too bright and are subtle and are supposed to adjust to light sensitivity (haven't test that yet).Update 03/2018 - Yes the LEDs drop in brightness when the lights are turned down. Great feature if this is in a bedroom.Product is sturdy and has a high tech look to the product. As and FYI, all BESTEK products seem to have the innovative differential when compared to other products and have an 18 month warrantyOnly negative is that they are more expensive but you get what you pay for.I will be purchasing more.Update 03/2108 - A few months of using this product and I've had no problems at all. Quality feel throughout. I will be purchasing another shortly.

Superb Surge Protector. The build quality is excellent and a bit smaller than I thought it might be, but great for my needs and very unobtrusive on my desk. I was a bit worried about some of the other surge protectors that had reviews saying they were not able to take Apple plugs but this definitely works with them, and anything else I have plugged in so far. USB ports charge iPhone/android phone quickly and only light up when things connected are plugged in otherwise they stay off, so does not appear to need a switch to turn USB ports on/off. Very useful having buttons for each layer and would be looking for a 3 layer model from BESTEK in the future.Was going to go for the cheaper brands but think paying the few extra pounds for this more expensive model a good decision. Would highly recommend this product.

Liking this so far. It's much wider than my previous Tower extension... but for good reason. The ports are very nicely spaced apart which means a bigger variety of plug sizes will fit. It's really nicely designed and has an anti-slip base. It loses 1* for being a little too expensive but it's very good and completely silent.

Best extension plug i have ever owned. Bought one previously and needed another and would only ever buy one of these again. There's 8 sockets in this plus extra usb ports so you can charge phones etc separately. There's also switches to turn separate sockets on and off. Its really sturdy and has a neat tower design. Love the fact it's not too tall and hides easily away behind a cabinet.

With so much technology in our houses today who wants tons of extension cable when you can have one of these compact and versatile charging towers that take up virtually no space.Charge USB devises and use conventional plugs and chargers for phones and other items all at the same time.This is a high-quality product and looks pretty cool but remaining discreet and can be nicely tucked away in a corner, under your bed or beneath your office desk.I now have 2 of these and cannot recommend them highly enough.

A space saver! I bought this to replace 2x4 socket lead extensions. It takes half the size on the table compared to the socket extensions. The usb ports are great as I power my desk lamp and charge my phone. It's 80 cm away from me and it doesn't make any noise. I am using all the power ports and 5 usb ports. No problems so far!

Others seem unaware of sizes of plugs these days ,this unit does the opposite great use of a small form to distribute sockets that can be all populated at the same time ,the unit itself is tiny and it's footprint is so small it will fit between shelves on a standard two shelf tv cabinet the in corporation of usb's is great plus they are mounted not flat but upright so pluging un pluging is made easier , i don't know why this product is listed so far down the list when you search for 8 way extension leads as the reviews left by other repeat the same virtus as i have said ,in all it's not the cheapest but it is more user friendly better designed and better constructed i gave a 3 for durability as only time will tell ,to be honest how many people ever unplug from these unit once you first set them up ,what you tend to use them for it tv set up's and the like plug and forget .
