I recently purchased the Tower Extension Lead, and let me tell you—it has completely transformed my workspace! As someone who constantly juggles multiple devices, from my laptop to charger for my phone and even a desk lamp, I was eager to find a solution that would not only power everything but also declutter my area.This extension lead does exactly that! The design is sleek and modern, blending seamlessly with my home office decor. What really impressed me is the abundance of sockets—there are enough to keep all my devices running without the chaos of tangled wires. The added USB ports are a game-changer. I can charge my smartphone and tablet at the same time without taking up extra space.Safety is another top feature! It has a surge protector that gives me peace of mind as I run all my gadgets. Plus, the power indicator light is a thoughtful touch, letting me know the lead is on and functioning without a hitch.Another big plus is how compact it is. Despite having multiple sockets, the Tower design keeps it vertical and space-efficient—perfect for a small desk or nightstand!In summary, the Tower Extension Lead is an essential addition to any home or office. It’s well-built, safe, and maximizes all available power options without making my space feel cluttered. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a little more power in their life—this extension lead is a total lifesaver

I have bought a few of these now for areas that require multiple items plugged in. Very limited sockets in our home so this solves the problem perfectly! Individual switches for both banks too are a great idea.

I like the shape and colour. Very easy to use and so much better than the normal strip ones. So nice i havent tried to hide it away its out on a table. Great too that its got usb charging points too.

Good cable length and helps with storage in limited space as a tower. Need to use some pressure to get the plugs in.

This tower has all the ports needed and more to fit not only electrical leads but your usb cables.

👌🥰

Used on our cabin on holiday … numerous plug and usb slotsQuite lightweight tho looks bulkyCharged all our electrics really fast

The product arrived well-packaged in a sturdy box with as little wasted material as possible, so that's an extra bonus point on environmental friendliness.The first impression of the extension tower was that the plastic did seem a little cheap, as you can visibly see the seam going down the middle of the product where the two plastic pieces were fused together, which I notice has also been deliberately airbrushed out of all but one of the product photographs on their Amazon page. However, upon further examination, it is not really an issue either structurally or visually.The design is unique (to me). It blends in well plopped onto my desk, tucked away in the corner, giving the desk a slightly modern feel, or something, I don't know, I'm not into all that arty farty feng shui or whatever you want to call it. But it looks nice and blends in well is the point I'm trying to make.The fact that it is designed as a tower rather than your usual standard rectangle extension lead means that it is easier to access the plugs you insert into it, and it is also easier to keep clean of dust and dog hair (very handy if, like me, you rescued a Siberian Husky before you realised what a bloody mess they constantly make with their hair...).The extension tower comes with a total of eight plug sockets - four on either side. Which is really more than the average person needs. Most standard UK extension leads usually come with just four plug sockets. So having eight in one extension tower is a bonus.As said, there are 4 sockets on each left and right side of the extension tower, meaning that you should be able to run any long cables tidily around the room from either (or both) directions to plug into the tower with ease and no faff.Both sides also come with an independent flick switch that can be used to turn off or on all the sockets plugged into that side. This provides ease of access and also ease of safety.There are also four USB-A sockets and two USB-C sockets at the front of the tower, providing you with plenty of charging points for your USB devices. For newer devices, such as the iPad Pro, the USB charging cable provided with the device by Apple will fit snuggly into one of the USB-C sockets and charge the device relatively quickly.Also on the front is a display that shows how much power the USB slots are using (ahem, or rather how many volts/amps your iPad is costing you to charge). To be honest, as interesting as it is to know that information, it's also pretty distracting when the display changes while you're trying to focus on your work on the computer. I have fixed this problem by moving my pen holder slightly to the left on my desk to block the display reading.The extension tower also has a built-in overload protection button, which will immediately cut off the power to the extension tower in the event of an emergency or overload issueI cannot test the claims that the extension tower is fireproof up to 750 degrees Celcius, as I have no intention of deliberately throwing it into the fireplace at the moment. But if the tower should break anytime soon while the fireplace is on... I'll let you know, maybe.Overall, it appears to be a very good quality extension tower that I expect will last me some years before needing to be replaced. It is sturdy, has more conveniently accessible plug sockets than you'll ever need (unless you're NASA, or growing a few hundred naughty plants [tut tut]), looks good, easy to keep out of the way, and comes with handy USB sockets which, let's be honest, are really an important thing to have on hand these days).Thank you for taking the time to read this review, and congratulations for making it to the end. Now, plop this thing into your basket and off you pop to make a cuppa tea. You've already spent far too long sitting there reading this, it's an extension lead for crying out loud.
