If you've got a lot of appliances demanding power, and a lot of chunky transformers demanding extra space between outlets, this is a brilliant powerboard. It is one of our favourites.

Not the cheapest it has been, it has been cheaper - Deal 1 and Deal 2, but still better than RRP.

  The surge protection wont do anything in the event of lightning strike… The only good thing is the 12 outlets in one unit

    Yeah it is impossible to find a 12 outlet surge protector that has a good Joules rating. I ended up buying one of those Powerjc Tower ones. Mainly needed the 12 outlets over high end surge protection, plus this takes up more veritcal space than horizontal which I need. JB Hifi has another crap rated 12 outlet one for $120…..

    Same old comment on every surge protection powerboard thread. Happens almost every time someone posts something.

  This is tempting just for the one plug that sits alone, I've got one very stupidly designed power brick that covers the opposite plug it's infuriating

  This or the cheaper bunnings arlec one for $25? Not concerned about cord length.

  I can't imagine the mess that will create 13 fat cables coming to the same spot.

  And, think of your power at home. By default your house has in-wall wires designed for 2.5 kWt. That's pretty much just a single kettle. If you put a few, not even 6, they will shutdown automatically by protection. So if you want to use all 12 simultaneously, either upgrade electrical uplink, or use low-power devices.

    The powerboard probably has overload protection of 2400W anyway and will trip before your house. Cabling to your power point should be rated to around 30A, though a power point would only be rated to 10A.

    But yep, don't run high draw devices on powerboards.

    The only really high draw plug in items in the average Australian household are things to make stuff hot (kettles, toasters, air fryers, electric heaters) or air conditioners.

    One possible application for something like this is the mess of cords that can appear spontaneously depending on who's using your living room TV - a bunch of game consoles from over the years ready to go but switched off until they're in use, maybe a Chromecast or a Fire TV stick, maybe a Foxtel or Fetch TV set top box… and you get to switch it all off with one switch, so there's no idle power usage.

    If someone's looking to plug in 12 kettles so they get to meet the sexy fireman off the calendar they got for Christmas, they'd have an easier time daisy chaining power boards (which you also shouldn't do, but nobody jumps up and down in the comments when there's a cheap 4 outlet power board).

      To consume 10 kW is enough to have a kettle, iron, gaming computer with monitors, and portable conditioner. Having a cheap studio or granny flat it's really possible. And the most rich on sockets powerboard will be the most attractive to plug them all in.
