Nice solution to having lots of plugs but plastic sockets feel tight and cheap.
So far it's okay but i'm a little concerned with its use so I'll be updating this every few months.The thing I really dislike about this is that the plug sockets feel tight when I plug something in. For instance, I plugged in my PS4 plug and it took some effort to get it in. At first it was going in at an angle but with some force I managed to get it in. I also read in other reviews that this plastic can crack, so this does alarm me. I'd suggest just keeping your plugs in and don't disonnect them and re-connect them a lot as that cheap plastic will surely break at some point.The buttons to turn on/off each row are great and easy to use. Haven't tried the USB ports and tbh I think I will stay away from them unless I absolutely need them.Overall, this is a great solution for me and there are more than enough plugs for my desk setup.

A good option where lots of sockets are needed but space is tight.
Generally a 10 outlet multiplug takes up a lot of space, so stacking them vertically makes sense. I can't see me ever needing all 10 in use at once but they are available if needed, perhaps for a music set up with lots of 9v transformers. Each horizontal strip has a single power button, which controls power to just the sockets on that strip. Thus the top button powers on the top four strips, second button the second four, and bottom button the two power sockets and the four USB sockets. An LED above each button shows whether it is on, and each pair of USB sockets also have an LED. Literature states that the USB sockets are rated to 2.1Amp, so should be good for charging devices like mobile phones and tablets.This is a nice compact design, the lead is very long (much better than the usual 1m lead supplied with multiplugs) and this would be well suited to a room with lots of low wattage devices. It would work particularly well for an entertainment system, which might require USB power for LED lighting, as well as multiple sockets for TV, Bluray, Amp, DVR, Tuner and so on. I've not decided where to site this yet, but I think perhaps my music room where I have half a dozen 9V devices that use lower power but need lots of sockets.

Great space saver
I thought I had order a white on but when I opened it, it was grey but it will do.its sturdy and there are enough sockets on it the reason I bought it was I have bought a cordless door bell and the square has a light on it and as my husband is going deaf, but the socket I was going to plug the flashing light square into us behind the TV unit and he would not have seen the flashing square so I thought of buying the tower and I can plug the square into it and when done ones at the door he will be able to answer the door as he will see the circle flash just like our phone flashes when some one calls he may not hear it but can still see. And it a neat item .

Serves the purpose
In theory it's great. It does the job perfectly and good value. The only thing I would say it is not very sturdy the casing is light weight and it seems cheaply made however I do think it's worth it as its ideal for the job. Yes I would recommend

Good bit of kit, but not perfect
You always hope these tower extension leads will generate loads more space and allow for neater cable management. This does after a fashion, although when using all plug and USB sockets it still looks like a snakes wedding! The thing I like about this power tower is the ability to switch on and off each tier as required and that the power flex will extend or retract to your required length. Electrical cables are a modern day nightmare but this tower goes along way towards helping the space and mess issue. It's by no means the perfect solution but I will buy another of these in favour of a power strip.Update: Have just bought a second extension lead to replace a different model extension lead tower that had been recalled by Amazon for a potential fault. My sentiments for this tower are pretty much the same as my original review. Works well, still a nest (just my opinion) but this day and age a definate necessity in a house with a limited number of power outlets. Fingers crossed there are no issues with the two towers I now own.
