This extension lead does NOT have surge protection for TV aerial, phone, network, etc. It does NOT have USB charging sockets. It does NOT have "intelligent" sockets that turn on/off automatically, or remote control sockets, or switched sockets. In fact, the only thing it has is 8 sockets and surge protection.



But - that's fine, that's why I bought this one.



It is a lot cheaper than the other 8 way extensions (which may have all the extras, but if you don't need them, then why pay for them?)



The only 'bad' thing about this is that it will only really take normal plugs (not plugin transformers) without "losing" sockets, as the sockets are very close together. Some other multi-way extensions have a couple of swivelling sockets so you can plug in big transformers, but this doesn't (probably to save money).



So, make sure that what you want to plug in will actually fit. In my case I wanted to plug in 8 normal plugs, and nothing else, so it was perfect!
