While this ExtraStar lead surge protector doesn't say exactly how much protection it offers, this is a great option for budgeting households that doesn't have very demanding plugging needs. This is a cheap yet realiable extension cord perfect for smaller bedrooms and kitchen, especially with that 3.3ft cord - it just means you don't have a lot of cord length to put away when you're working with a tighter space. As a general guide, appliances like kettles, irons, tumble dryers, hairdryers, washing machines, dishwashers, and vacuum cleaners all use well over 2000w when in use and so should be plugged directly into a power outlet.

Wireless extension leads

When you want to extend both the reach of your outlet and the number of electronics you can plug in, Belkin has you covered with their 12-Outlet Surge Protector. Firstly, this powerstrip features a long 10-foot cord with a right-angle prong, making it ideal for reaching outlets in tight spaces like behind a bed or gaming desk. Then, you get six vertically-aligned outlets in the center and three on either side for bulkier plugs, letting you use it for a whole entertainment setup or PC battle station.

Best basic extension lead: Masterplug Extension Lead

There are eight outlets included, two on each side, plus three USB ports on top right below the power button. You do have the choice of either three USB Type-A or two USB Type-A and one USB-C port, which is nice, and it has four non-slip feet for a secure base. Plus you can choose the length of cable: two, three, five and 10 meters. Master-slave extension leads are also available from brennenstuhl® - brennenstuhl® designates the technology Main-Follow. Take note of the wire size an extension cord uses, referred to as its “gauge” or “AWG.” A wire’s gauge is its diameter, and the lower the gauge, the higher its diameter. A lower gauge extension cord is a good fit for heavy-duty devices that draw a lot of power, like saws, generators, and bigger appliances. Whereas high gauge extension cords are a better fit for smaller household devices. IP protection class for extension leads?The IP44 protection rating indicates that the device is protected against foreign bodies and splashing water and that the extension lead is therefore suitable for outdoor use. We love a good extension tower, especially when it's very affordable, and this one from Tessan is definitely a shoo-in. It offers 1,700 joules of protection, which is pretty high and will keep your pricey laptop or computer from frying. And it has light indicators to indicate that the surge and ground protection are working, giving you that extra peace of mind.

This stands for Ingress Protection and as a rule of thumb if you’re looking for a waterproof extension lead it has to be at least IP54 rated so that it’s watertight. Anything higher than this will have even more protection. Do extension leads need surge protection? brennenstuhl® offers extension leads for almost every application. From the common 3-way power strip to the sophisticated high-tech extension lead with surge protection, automatic function and other intelligent features, brennenstuhl® extension leads meet the most diverse requirements. brennenstuhl® power strips are available with illuminated on/off switch, increased touch protection, with USB charger, surge protection, main-follow function and many other features. When an extension lead is overloaded, it can heat up enormously.This can cause a "smouldering fire". A smouldering fire means that there are no visible flames at first. This makes it all the more dangerous because it is not easy to detect.Dust or other flammable materials can then cause a flame fire to start and spread until the surrounding area catches fire. Can extension leads be plugged in one after the other? Most extension cords have some form of surge protection to guard your connected devices, but the Eshldty Outdoor Power Strip Surge Protector takes its safety features a lot further. Beyond protecting your devices against power surges up to 1,500 joules, it can withstand being splashed with liquids thanks to an IPX6 rating. In other words, it'll even work in the rain—though it should not be submerged. For the technically inclined who want to know: it’s small electronic components called Metal Oxide Varistors, or MOVs for short, which are more often used for this filtering of surges. Other types of filters are gas discharge arrestors which are often seen in antenna protectors, but most of the time, MOVs are used, often in combination with other components like capacitors.

Are switches needed? Do appearance and design play an important role? Is a higher IP protection class required for outdoor use? Is surge protection worthwhile? Finally, some surge protectors are equipped with fail-to-safe conditions, also known as automatic shutdown technology and "fail to shutdown". When the surge protector experiences a surge and the arrestors reach their end of life, the device stops sending power to your devices, telling you in no uncertain terms that it's time to replace it.
