What to Compare Before Buying
- Socket and USB count: This model combines 12 AC outlets with 5 USB ports. Compare that mix with the number of mains and charging connections you need.
- USB C charging need: The USB C port is rated at up to 18W. Check whether that level suits the device you want to charge.
- Total power load: The stated maximum is 13A 3250W. Compare that against the total draw of everything you plan to plug in.

Using It in Practice
This type of tower extension lead is useful where several desktop devices, chargers or home office items need to share one power point. The upright layout keeps the outlets grouped together, while the USB ports reduce the need for separate mains chargers for compatible devices.
For a desk or study area, the main practical check is whether the unit’s socket layout and cable reach suit where your equipment sits. If you plan to use several powered items together, the total load is the figure to keep in mind.
Before You Decide
Confirm that you need a 12-way tower with 5 USB ports, including a 1 USB C connection. Check that the 1.8 m cable length, built-in switch and 13A 3250W maximum load suit your setup. If surge protection or overload protection matters for your equipment, make sure this matches what you want before choosing an offer.
