Brennenstuhl Ecolor FB Extension Socket with Safety Fuse Button 5-Way 1.5m H05VV-F 3G1.5 Black/Black with Switch *GB*

Quality is much better than any UK extension lead I have ever bought from stores. Sturdy built, thick cable, easy to insert plugs, plugs will stick in their sockets once inserted, illuminated switch. Made in China, but it's definitely a premium German standards built.

Quality construction; ideal for AV set up.

This is a review for the 5-gang extension lead with a 1.5 metre cable length.I have some pretty  good surge protected Belkin extension leads, which have a fitted power switch.  Comparing this extension by Brennenstuhl, which I haven't encountered before, but is at a similar price to our Belkin ones.This one is light in weight which presumably would have been ideal to be wall mountable in the Covid-dictated home office, though there is no mountable fixtures on the read of the extension. It is more slimline and flatter than the Belkin one, which I do like about this one, as we have trouble getting the Belkin behind a chest of drawers, without having to pull the chest out, leaving a gap behind it. I personally didn't have this same issue with this extension, with the type of chest we have.There is a protruding and easily press-able 13A fuse reset button, which im not a fan of. Never in my experience, particularly in the UK, have I thought, "what this extension is missing, is a fuse reset button". Perhaps this would be more appealing to an international market. There is a large On/Off switch to the surface of the extension too - which would get a great deal of use for added safety when the power to the lead, is not needed, such as through the night.For the price, it is a fairly good lightweight unit that is much slimmer than our Belkin. But with Belkin - at a similar price, I get the assurance of a market leading brand and being secure in the knowledge that it would offer a degree of safety in the event of a power surge.4 stars
