8 Way Extension Lead Power Strip with 2 Switches, 2M Extension Cord for Home, Office, Dorm Rooms,Black

Considering the price I was a bit sceptical, but this is a nice weighty unit and works great. Doesn't get hot so no overheating issues and sits nicely in place. Only thing I would like is if each socket had it's own switch, but maybe in a future upgrade?

Does the job. Sockets are staggered meaning you can make use of all of them even with larger PSUs plugged in. I’d prefer if the extension cord was longer but the description was accurate and I knew the length before buying so this is just an observation not a complaint. USB ports are useful to have for phone / iPad / headphones etc and mean you can manage without a charger or two.

Great, good looking functional piece of kit.

Arrived scratched and looks used.I can see why it was returned, both rows of plug face the same way, which means you can't use all the plugs as the block ports and stops you using it.Can't be bothered with the fuss of sending it back but hope this review helps you avoid making the same mistake as me.

Looks like it is very well made and sturdy. Wanted a multiway for small gigs to power a mixer and effects which would be durable and safe. Pleased with this so far

For the price asked at the time of writing (20GBP), if you have a requirement for a power strip of this size, you could choose far worse. Generally robust and good looking, the spacing of outlets is generous so allows side-by-side use of larger plugs (e.g. "wall wart" type power supplies), and the ability to switch the outlets independently as two banks is useful if you need it.That said, four stars from me for the want of slightly better construction detail and it would have remained good value in my opinion even if that had required a few extra pounds adding to the price.The otherwise attractive satin finished aluminum case is visually spoilt by an unsightly rivet (funnily enough, this view of the product isn't offered in the Amazon listing). The power cord is a cheap and rather inflexible PVC material, which means that it doesn't coil easily or tidily around the unit when not in use, as it is clearly designed to.This won't be relevant to most purchasers so I won't dwell on it and have only docked one star (also in part due to the rivet) but having opened the unit I was disappointed by the construction. Everything appears safe enough but there are curious, sloppy choices. The earth connection doesn't use a bolt or stud but is the reason for the rivet - it's just riveted straight through the case. Whilst the switches and other internals all use spade type connectors, all connections have been soldered on, meaning that it's not easy to change the power cord if it becomes damaged, or if you wanted to substitute for a longer and/or better quality one.4/5. Good value and seems safe enough but could and should have been a little better.

Great

Just what I needed...great plugboard
