MasterplugSRGDU41PW2-MP Heavy Duty Four Socket Surge Protected Extension Lead with 2 USB Ports, 2 Metre, White

I now have two of their extension leads and am pleased with both of them. YOu can put the extension lead on the wall of just have it on the floor. there are two USB points on the top which are useful if you want to charge your phone etc and need the sockets to plug in other items. I have one of them in my bedroom and I do find the blue on/off light a bit distracting but this can easily be solved by putting something over it.

Great item ,looks good

Great extension lead with 2 USB charging outlets, very compact.

A little bit expensive at the time of purchase (£18) but does what it says. It is nice and solid feeling with a good bit of weight. It has a nice gloss finish and actually looks good on our computer desk. Added bonus we didn't know that it also has 3 more plugs on the back. Would recommend.

This is a nicely proportioned and well made extension with six main sockets and two usb sockets which are useful for charging various items from mp3s, phones and cameras etc. The bright blue led that tells you it's on could distract you if you could see it so I agree with other reviewers who mentioned this. I have mine behind a tv unit so it doesn't bother me. The cable is a useful 1 metre long so not a lot of surplus cable to try to hide. There is only one drawback to this otherwise excellent unit and that is that the adaptor I have for my router has the cable at the top. As these sockets are upside down and normally an advantage where plugs are concerned, I have to use the extension on its side as it won't stand upright with this adaptor in. However, that's not the fault of the unit. Maybe adaptors should all be standardised. Overall, I can recommend this compact unit if you don't like seeing a long flat trailing socket or you don't have much room.

As with all Masterplug kit, good build quality shines through. They do tend to cost a little more than the unknown brand alternatives but you get what you pay for I guess. In my case, I only paid £12.50 as I went through Amazon Warehouse and got one with a dented box corner but otherwise as new.I already have a six socket version of this under my desk, but needed something smaller for my other desk to power three printers (general purpose, label and photo) and my coffee machine. The surge protection function incorporates a safety thermal cut out (to protect against temperature increase or fire due to component degradation from repeated low surges) and an indicator light to show it's all working properly.The USB charging ports (2.1A output shared across the two by the way) are not something I'll use much, but for the money they are good value-adds.

I ordered this from Bamford Trading and as a Prime client it arrived next day. The product feels sturdy and is easy to use.i did note that the power to the USB sockets is shared, but that isn't a problem for me.My only criticism is with the manufacturers of the plugs that take their cables and transformers out the "earth pin" side who obviously haven't studied the conventions in use in the UK.I am making a 2 inch high plinth to raise the unit up to take into account of the overhang some of my plugs have.Now there's a marketing opportunity!As far as Banford Trading goes, good product and good service. Thank you.

I got this because it was more compact than the 'white tower' extension I was using previously. This unit is stylish and fits well with my other media items. It has the benefit of surge protection and LED lights to show it's on. I like the USB charging and these are powerful enough for overnight charging.I only have one reservation. I should have gone for a 2m cable. Entirely my fault for not checking. Otherwise it's an excellent extension lead from an excellent company.
