Needed a couple of powerboards. This was the cheapest that I could find that I felt wouldn’t burn the house down if you used them.
6 plug cheaper than bunning 4 plus

Missed that one. Look the same. Probaby are the same and just whitelabled. Guess pay the extra 52c for brand ;)
Is this the everyday price?
I think it might be as I didn’t see an expiry date but I also didn’t go looking for one either.
That's 81 cents per outlet which is cheaper than the 6 outlet at 92 cents per outlet
If you need 6 off one that not going to help. But otherwise, yes cost per unit is better :)
Only power board I've ever had with a manufacturing fault was an Arlec so not sure about there being zero chance of burning the house down.
I've been through so many power boards over the years, having used hundreds in commercial spaces and the only one i can recommend for long term reliability is the Belkin model that's now discontinued: https://www.harveynorman.com.au/belkin-economy-4-way-surge-p… not a great price but if you want quality this is one of the best.
Strange, black usually costs more
Cos it's slightly bigger than the white ones
Perhaps they need to paint it and it costed them extra….
I prefer this one https://www.kmart.com.au/product/6-outlet-surge-protected-po… because it's got three wider plugs which is good for various plug packs etc, well worth the extra money
But for $1 more you can buy 2x Alerc ones and have 12 outlets so even if you lose an outlet or two for plug packs you still have more outlets
And create an eyesore
Not if you do a good job installing them and making things tidy.
If you aren't organised then a single one might be best for you.
