Masterplug SRPTU122PB USB Charging Surge Protected 2m Extension Lead Power Tower with 12 Sockets

I really like this extension lead. It's very much feature-heavy and looks well to boot.I've tested all twelve sockets and they each work fine. One complaint I do have is that the two sockets at the base of the tower on the narrow sides are not well suited to most plugs. Even if you look in the picture above you'll probably see what I mean. There simply isn't enough space below the socket for most plugs to fit. That said, they are still functional and it is unlikely that many would have need for 12 sockets simultaneously without at least two of the plugs capable of fitting. I certainly don't at the time being.The USB ports are a wonderful inclusion and will come in very handy for charging various devices. The telecom ports, too, could be very useful for some, though I have little use of them at the moment. By the way, I didn't see it mentioned in the product description but there's an ethernet cable and a telecom cable supplied with the product. I haven't measured either but I would guess they're about a metre each. It's a nice thought, even though I don't personally have any need of them.The power switch is a little easy to hit, I think. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I can see how I could easily switch off the tower by accident some time. I do appreciate the inclusion though.The base keeps the tower fairly sturdy, all things considered. I don't worry that it will topple. The lead could be a little longer though, but it's certainly not restrictively short as is.While the sheen finish is what makes the tower look quite well (by extension lead standards), it also is very easily marked. After a few minutes the thing was covered in my fingerprints. To me, that is not a big deal, but I can see how some might go for this product ahead of others for how its appearance fits their decor a little better.I'm pretty happy with this tower extension lead. It's certainly not perfect but it has many features that set it apart from other similar products.

This thing is massive, but appears to be very well built and sturdy. Would sit very well with a busy AV or computing set up and has it's own power button (which is quite bright just in case you plan to have this in a bedroom for example). The layout of the sockets themselves is very sensible and fits any type of plug comfortably no matter what weird and wonderful shape they are (something I've struggled with in the past with certain extension lead designs. I also particularly like the tower design over the previous flat designs I've used as lifting them of the floor seems to have made the area behind my AV equipment a little less cluttered. Not sure of it's surge protecting qualities but I have no reason to doubt them given the general quality of the item.I mainly got this because it was a Lightning Deal impulse but overall I'm very happy with it, and I probably would pay full price if I was specifically in the market for one...

The media could not be loaded.  When they say ‘power tower’ they’re not wrong! A stealthy Darth Vader vibe going on with this. I’ve had it for over a year now with no issues, have a few things plugged in and more recently, have a LG 55” OLED TV plugged in along with a PS4, Xbox One S and a sub woofer - all good.I would highly recommend this and the surge light is still on so it / I must be doing something right!Note, I would suggest using / buying some black electrical tape to cover up or mostly cover up the led lights as they can be too bright, I do this with most electrical goods with too-bright led lights on them (particularly if used in a bedroom).

big! but incredibly useful. I have a few variations of these uprights that I've bought down the years and this is the best I've found. The shininess means fingerprints show but really a minor thing

Needed something with loads of sockets and surge protection and this does the job to a tee. Has on/off button, so you can switch off everything in one go and save on electricity. Build quality is excellant.
