Belkin E-Series 6 Socket, 1-Metre SurgeStrip, Surge Protector, Power Extension Cord

Good

Instead, I would produce my appliances and electronic items using a known brand extension and safe to lose less. Excellent product

Accommodates all my electrical gadgets without any power jerks. Great quality for cheap price 👏

Good quality but cable is short

Good quality. Good product.

Equipped with protection against power surges, spikes, and lightning spikes. Only wish that each socket has individual switch. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

Good

Working fine and did it job well

Ware ist ok Danke

I bought three of these surge protectors, two with a 1m cable and one with a 3m cable, for a project which required 14 (low-power) appliances to be plugged in. I was looking for a good quality surge protected power strip with small footprint and mounting holes on the bottom, and this fit the bill. The build quality is quite good and I can imagine these lasting for a long time. I've had other similar products before that felt very flexy, but this is made from quality materials. The cable feels quite stiff as most inexpensive PVC flex does. For most uses I would look for a power strip with switched sockets and indicator lights. This has neither of those. There are mounting holes on the back of the strip. I wanted to hang the strip on the wall so I drilled a couple of holes on the wall, inserted some flat head screws and hung the strip on them. Be aware that the mounting holes are very shallow and a normal pan-head screw wouldn't work. Due to the compact footprint the sockets are fairly close to each other. I had to plug both kettle leads and USB chargers into these, and had to alternate them in order to make them fit in the sockets. The strip is also quite narrow which allows the earthing pin of a plug to be inserted with the plug upside down, bypassing the safety shutters in the socket. This is not a major problem but may potentially make the product a little less child-proof. Overall, this feels like a good product, compact and better built than most leads of a similar design. I'll probably end up buying more of these in the future.

It currently scares me just how many things we need to ''Plug In'' these days given the fact when we first moved in to our current home many, many years ago we only really had a Kettle, a Microwave and probably a couple lamps and an alarm clock! But these days with all our must-have gadgets .... I keep running out of sockets to plug anything in! Nightmare. And so ..... liking quality products, especially where electricity is concerned plus the point of over-loading anyone outlet ....... I always buy Belkin products, either Surge ones such as this, basic ones or even their All Singing All Dancing multi media ones. Just one word of caution. All because you turn a Single Socket into a Six Way one does not necessarily mean you can then run six high drain items off it .... [as in ... ''sorry Mr Fireman.. I did not think it a problem running my six 2.5Kw heaters off one extension cable an issue''!!!] ..... So think of how you use your extension sockets and whilst it should not be an issue plugging 6 things in like lights, phone chargers, laptops etc ... just note that many plug-in transformers do get very hot, so try not to place them next to each other and don't do as many do .... stick the socket behind something where there is little or no air flow (or for that matter cover it over with some material to stop it 'sticking out as an eye sore' ) ..... you'll just be asking for trouble and a visit from some burly Fireman/women. Anyway, as for the Belkin E-Series 6 Way/ 6 Plug SurgeStrip Surge Protected Extension Lead - 1 m Cable, White ..... they are great simple little (yer right ... long - sorry) Extensions that do the job and once in use and quietly forgotten about do everything I need both safely and securely. What more could you ask.

Belkin products are second-to-none. I've been using them for my job for over 15 years and always recommend them to my clients (I fix computer problems) without any qualms about the recommendation coming back to haunt me. The actual build quality is obvious as soon as you handle their surge-protected extension leads - the cable is thicker and feels more substantial than cheap leads, and the main plastic casing feels almost industrial at the side of other brands. One thing you need to remember is that surge protectors are NOT all the same - some cheap ones have so little protection that they don't last for more than one surge. Belkin state the protection measurement in joules - if you want to protect small electronics, 500 to 1000 joules is advisable. If you're protecting your printer, computer, router etc. go for a protector that has at least 1000 joules. Above 2000 joules will protect home theatre and game console items. Basically, the higher the joules, the longer your items will be protected for (unless you live in an area which suffers from frequent lightning strikes or power fluctuations). Every time there's a surge, it destroys a % of the protection, which is why it's also advisable to buy a protector that shows a light for 'Protected' - once that light has gone out, you know you need to get a new protector pronto. Leads with a light for 'earthed' are advisable as well. Yes Belkin aren't the cheapest compared with a supermarket lead but they're most definitely worth it. Avoid ANY lead that doesn't state the protection level in joules as it is money badly spent.
