Does the job

I have a few of these now and they seem pretty good quality. No complaints at all.

This a review of the black 6 socket version - Not the white!Some here say the cable is shown entering the left in the advertising - but that's wrong - it is clearly shown entering the right hand side on the black version when the sockets are the correct way up.This is a no-nonsense extension, just what I wanted - no USBs - no "surge protection" (I never trust that in cheap extensions).The the live and neutral are well guarded against curious probing!The switch is a nice touch if you want to isolate.Construction is robust and doesn't feel cheap.There are 2 screw mounting holes on the back - pretty standard for extensions.It is rated at 3250W maximum - 13A - 220-250V.I ordered 2 and checked each socket with my tester - all passed, so that's good!The price is excellent value for 6 sockets.I can heartily recommend!

Absolutely perfect for my needs:i.e. l have a vintage Hi-Fi separates system and each of the four units uses quite a lot of electricity even when in their stand-by modes (9 watts a piece), so at the flick of just one switch on this extension lead (the main switch being inaccessible), l am able to power down all of them completely after switching off the system via the remote control. This is so much better than having to flick an off switch for each and everyone of the units. Btw, l was really surprised to see that most extension products have an individual off switch for each socket (or none at all) and that hardly any have just the one switch like the one l am now reviewing? For me then, this is the perfect solution.

Ignore the first picture - the cable does not come out of the left hand side.

Last thing you do is walking round looking for things left on. The green light means you just switch it off and there is no power to anything left plugged in. Simple. Why does it take a german design to fix a british standard extension socket? The switch is down for off , up for on, like all important supply switches like mains , gas supply etc etc.

I've bought the bigger ones of these with the green switch which are really nice.These are pretty nice too, just used for some other appliances around the home.Again just one star knocked off because they are slightly more expensive and for the money I'd expect they'd offer more options for buyers. Ie, models with more spacing between sockets so you can fit in those odd shaped transformer type plugs, or 'handed' versions so you can get the switch somewhere convenient to access but have the wire at the other end hidden away behind furniture.It's not rocket science and it's not beyond the wit of man to do these things, and at these price points you'd expect products that have a bit more thought in these areas.
