STATUS 8-Plug Extension

Competitively priced 8 way gang. This was bought to replace similar Belkin product on which the main and only power switch cracked and broke. The individual sockets are individually switched making it simple to control power to individual devices and the whole gang it fused and has a single surge protector for the whole device whose operation is indicated by a discrete green light on the top of the gang. The device itself and each of the 8 sockets is 3 pin and earthed. The device itself is made of ABS plastic, simply constructed and each of the 8 switches (one for each socket) has a positive feel when thrown (something that the Belkin's single power switch always lacked) and the position of each switch makes it impossible to operated a switch accidentally (whereas it was notoriously easy to knock the Belkin's switch and thereby deprive power to all the connected devices). The sockets are arranged facing outwards on both sides. The only minor drawback is that each socket it not sufficiently offset from the corresponding opposite ones. This means plugs with an output above the earth pin can obscure the two sockets opposite. Finally it's dark colour makes it unobtrusive - ideal when used for home computer or AV equipment where a white device would stand out. The only downside is the black switches which can sometime be a little difficult to locate in low light conditions. Overall an excellent buy.

Great quality , easy to set up . My christmas light pluged in one place , nice and tidy

Value for money and does the job! At the price I was not expecting a super quality product and it is not. Think of this as buying a base model of a phone or car with extras in the price. Individual switching and having eight as well in one place has at last solved the annoying problem of finding the correct charger for the increasing amount of devices and tech we now all own...simply plug all the chargers in and when you need to recharge bring the device to what I now call my 'CHARGING STATION' and switch on. 'Simples' no more panic finding the correct charger or forgetting where you left your phone for example on charge. As a fan of all things 'Black' it is aesthetically pleasing something I never thought I would apply to a trailing socket and the green indicator light monitors its functioning in the background unobtrusively. I will be buying more of these to tidy up the mish mash of trailing sockets and plug extenders I have accumulated and bliss to have switch-ability at a very reasonable price. Delivered by Amazon logistics quickly but in a box which was two thirds fresh air. Please be greener Amazon!

This is quite a sturdy product which replaces the two separate extensions that were starting to make me nervous. I like the fact that each socket is individually switched but I would have liked a USB socket or two as well. The unit can be mounted on the wall if desired but I’m happy with it just on the floor.

Good quality great price.

Great

Good quality item, this is the Second I've perchased.

Ordered two of these for being able to put the Christmas lights up (you never have enough plug sockets!) They are just as described, and you get an individual switch for each plug so you can isolate which ones you want in or off without having to pull individual plugs out.

Great value for an 8 socket extension with surge protection
