I could go on…
Yep, these are bad, they are cheap for a reason.
Sure they may start out working but the problems begin with enough time.@zombrex: Honestly most of those are pretty vague. I can’t quite understand how this would fail
@chid: Very cheap plastic warps and scratches, sparking when inserting plugs, sockets failing.
Low-quality control on the sockets as some are tight and others loose.
Had one socket spark then burn and melt. Personal experience with multiple units using normal commercial electronics. no problems with the electronics themselves.
They are seriously not worth the risk.
I bought 1x just last week. Have not read the suggested feedback, so I guess I am not biased… Working as expected tho.
Beware there are plenty of issues with these boards. Buy the Belkin equivalent instead if you are looking for a good quality and value board.
Belkin may have slightly better QA for sockets fitting into moulding, but Belkin massively overcharge through rebate programs for retailers.
If you have TGC or wait for a deal on Amazon you can still get very comparable deals.
Is this one any better?

Would SAA certified give any guarantee of quality?
I wouldn't assume it's SAA approved unless they provided the approval number and you could look it up on the SAA website.
Also SAA ensures it's safe, not that it's not likely to fail just that if it fails it's not likely to cause a fire or electrocute someone or the like.
Have not had any issue after 6 months of use. 55" sony tv, ps5, XSX, laptop, gan charger, all plugged in.
Can't find anything as slim line as this with 8 plugs and a 2m cord.
Yep…not so proud owner of 2 of these from previous deals. Not the best of build quality TBH, evident when you try and insert plugs as some are great (tight fitting), others not so much. I double-sided sticky blocked one to the underside of my desk, and not all plugs are fully inserted which is a major cause for concern (shorts anyone?).
I'd seriously look at other alternative brands, for a few more dollars.maybe poor quality control? They've sold so many of these over the years. I bought mine 2 years ago and they have been working fine ever since daily driven.
Make sure you read the feedback from owners in past deals before buying these…
