Apc Essential Surgearrest 5 Outlets 230V UK

Good quality...would have also preferred a APC model with individual switches for each socket...along with some 5V/3A USB fast charging ports. This one is also recommended, however, as I had it's requirement also.

You need a safe and reliable extension for great price..... Here you go

So I bought two Belkins and two APC's. The quality of the Belkins is much higher than the APC's. First of all, both of the APC's have something moving inside them, like some small piece of plastic. The packaging was intact, wasn't damaged (they didn't look damaged at all). When I figured I should open them to get the broken pieces out, I found out that I couldn't because they have "one way screws". You practically can't open the APC to maintain it. They are not anti-tamper screws (I have anti-tamper screwdrivers as I'm an engineer, and repair different kinds of electronic devices), they actually can't be taken out unless drilled through... Also, one of the two has a bulge on the casing, and it can't really close perfectly. Very disappointing. Still, they seem to be working correctly, so I will just leave them like that (without returning them). I have to say, that about 4 years ago I bought the same APC's, but with the German plugs, and those were of an EXCELLENT quality (I still have them). These UK plug type which I bought in the UAE are either fake, or the quality really went down the drain. Not recommended.

Firstly, I won’t take risk for my family and I have to get very high quality brand power extensions, as so many accidents over the world were related to bad quality and misuse of power extensions. This is not related to how many people used it and reviewed it. It’s all about it’s build quality, usability and durability, all contributing to its stability and hence safety. Therefore there are already not many brands I can trust in this aspect. Secondly even APC is now owned by Schneider, not all Schneider sub-brand extensions are good, and some with significant usability issues for me. However APC is just exceptionally wonderful quality. The body is sturdy, cable can run out on either side, plugging is smooth and feeling quite sleek! It’s like the different feeling of plugging a cheap or original Apple cable into a Mac or iPad, with that satisfying confirming yet smooth and crisp click. The switch is also very sleek and certainly bouncy sturdy. However I hope APC can release models with longer cables and make the body a bit thinner. Before that exist, this one is still the only one I’ll keep sticking and buying, also to replace the others in my home and workplaces.

The quality is very good and provides stable power to my monitor and 1000w pc. It never gets hot when it is used and the build is sturdy. It is very reliant and on the back it has several mounting holes for you to mount it to a wall or under a table. Very good.

Bought it few years ago and it is still going strong. Well built and does its job.

Feels well made, with plenty of space between each socket to allow for wider plugs. It's a brand I can trust to keep the connected devices safe. Found it difficult to mount with double sided tape, but maybe that's not it's intended mounting method.

APC was originally a USA company making high quality surge protectors but have traditionally been very expensive to buy in comparison with the competition. APC is now part of the French multinational, Schneider Electric who are a seriously professional outfit and make amongst other things top of the range home wall sockets and switches - ask an electrician or kitchen fitter about the high quality of Schneider electrical fittings. So given the pedigree of APC's current owners, I bought this product and I was not disappointed. Excellent, First Class are words that do not do full justice to the quality of this product. The design is clean, simple and completely user friendly. I just love the raised/angled socket block which makes it much easier to unplug plugs. I have just ordered another one in order to protect my TV, AV equipment. Highly recommended.
