Duronic Surge Protected Extension Lead with USB ST10B Tower Extension Leads 10 Way Multi Plug Power Adapter for UK Plugs Long Black Extension Cords Power Strip Multiplug Socket for Home Office Kitchen

I recently purchased an 8-socket extension cable and have been pleasantly surprised by its performance and design. As someone who relies heavily on multiple devices, finding a power solution that can handle the load without compromising on safety is a top priority, and this extension lead delivers on that front.First and foremost, the safety feature that stands out is the lack of overheating. Even after extended use with all sockets occupied, the unit remains cool to the touch, a testament to its build quality and electrical design. This gives me great peace of mind, knowing that the risk of overheating is minimized, even under heavy use.The vertical standing design is a highlight for me. It's not just a space-saver but also adds a touch of convenience to my setup. Unlike traditional horizontal power strips that sprawl across the floor, this tower design rises above the chaos, making it easier to plug in and unplug devices without having to crouch down or move furniture.However, there's a slight catch with the vertical design. While it's aesthetically pleasing and handy, managing the wires can be a bit of a challenge. The cables protruding in all directions can create a bit of an eyesore if not properly managed. It's a small price to pay for the convenience and safety features, but worth noting for those who prioritize a neat workspace. Finding the perfect spot for it where it's accessible yet discreet might take some ingenuity.In terms of functionality, I have no complaints. Each socket has been reliable, and I've not encountered any issues with loose connections or power fluctuations. The build quality feels solid, and I am confident it will hold up well over time.Overall, I would definitely recommend this 8-socket extension cable. It's a robust, safe, and convenient power solution for anyone who needs to power multiple devices simultaneously. With some creative cable management, it can fit seamlessly into any home or office environment.

I was unsure if the USB ports on this multi plug would power my new cd player. Yep, perfect, and no need for a plugin gizmo to overheat. The stand means it's tidy and accessible. I'd definitely buy another one.

I'm very happy with the lead. I had 3/4 extension leads running under my desks for my computers, now I just have this one! Works well takes little space, seems well made, and a reasonable price!

Good item, but does not rotate, as I thought it would, therefore it can only be used on a different socket to the one I intended it for. Otherwise, it’s fine. Does its job.

The simple and neater solution to extension sockets. In the past I have always used extension sockets generally anywhere from 4 to 6 gang ones, in some cases a couple of them on a double ganged socket. The thing is with extension sockets is that they come with cables attached to them to which you can either just put them on the floor or fix them to a wall or a desk. They do a good enough job, but having all that extra cable dangling down the back of a unit or desk is really what made me look at an alternative solution.Having come across the Duronic multi socket extension adapter on Amazon, it very much looked like I had found the best alternative solution. Just like most extension sockets these days it comes with surge protection, though no doubt some are better than others. But most houses come with better fuse boxes and have circuit breakers with trip switches on them today, so having the very best surge protection I do not really see as a necessity at all, and what we have here is adequate enough.The Duronic multi socket extension adapter is a very neat alternative and even the spacing of each of the 5 sockets is around the same size of your conventional extension sockets. So, you should not have any problem using conventional 3 pin plugs and most power bricks. Obviously, some power bricks can be massive, but with those you are still going to have the same problem as you would with a conventional extension socket.The other good thing about Duronic’s socket extension adapter is that it will fit both flush mounted sockets and those where the back plate protrudes out from the wall. Oddly enough I have both on either side of the living room, and I never got around to flush mounting the one for my computer like I did with the other one on the other side of the room which is where my HiFi is has you can see in the photos.If Duronic’s socket extension adapter does have a drawback it would very much be down to it not being quite sturdy enough. For example, it’s not ideal to simply insert a plug into the sockets that are further away from the middle one at both ends. The best way is to put all your plugs into the adapter before plugging it into the wall and turning on the power switch. You could also turn off the switch on your main socket and put your hand firmly against the middle of the adapter whilst plugging in the other plugs. So, it’s not really a problem at all and is to be expected being that all of the 5 sockets are being held by 1 plug in the middle.The good points are that the 5-plug adapter sits nicely below your main socket so that you can also fit a plug or even a power brick into the other side a double ganged socket (has shown in the photos). It also has individual on/off switches so you have more control over what you plug into it. It’s also made of a more durable material and has a rubbery plastic feel to it, so it’s not easy to break.Overall the Duronic socket extension adapter is a very good product and one I very much prefer in relation to normal extension sockets that come with cables. It does the job adequately and neatly and even despite the fact that it’s not sturdier and more robust. It still gets 5 Stars from myself and I highly recommend it.

It provides 10 plug sockets, it works and it takes up less floor space.
