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

Obviously this item is expensive for an extension cable, but as I'd just bought both a new TV setup I wanted to ensure they were protected. This item has a very nice feeling build quality. It feels solid, compact and sturdy. Time will tell how it stands up to use, but I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth. I've simply not had one of this standard before. (That said I've never spent more than £15 on one either) It has two switches, so you can turn the bottom or top 4 sockets on/off. It has multiple USB charging points. It also comes with surge protection, overload protection and over current protection which is the main reason I bought it. We've been known to get current fluctuations here, and I don't want to chance several thousand pounds worth of electronics. Another reason I like this one is that it has 8 plug connections. My setup looks much tidier now (vs two 4 strip extensions) This item is nice and discreet and tucks away perfectly. My first impressions are that the items are well protected by this Bestek device, and I'll likely be buying another one for the PC area.

Expensive for an extension lead but the quality is so good! Really glad I got it, the build quality is really nice and it exudes confidence that the circuitry isn't the cheaply engineered stuff that could damage equipment you see in "breakdown" videos/pics. I probably wouldn't try to draw maximum power on all USB sockets simultaneously but I have a lot of faith in this product. Love that the indicators on the USB outlets go out when something is fully charged. Don't know if that's a common feature these days but the visual feedback is great. The LEDs dim in the dark which is just ridiculously snazzy. :) It's pretty small as others have stated but you can get quite a lot of 'bricks' / power supplys on it without any difficulty. It's reasonably weighty so it stays in place nicely, and the supply power leads is a good length, quality and nice and chunky. You can buy something with the same on-paper functionality for less than half the price but I find this a good example of "you get what you pay for"!

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 warranty Only 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.

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.

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 .

I was attracted to this tower plug board by it's 'low rise' design, generous outlet count, generous number of usb ports and the built in protections. In my case this unit has replaced multiple plug boards and has helped tidy up my media cabinet and hopefully protects multiple devices (cable modem, router, tv, mini pc, raspberry pi and more) against power surges/fluctuations as per product info. In addition to the tower concept, the integrated usb ports free up power sockets and simplify the wiring by negating the need for plug in chargers/transformers. The unit feels robust and comes with a hefty power lead reflecting it's ability to support a heavy total load though i do not intend loading it anywhere near capacity.
