Amazon Verified Purchase
I am surprised that neither the description nor any review (at the time of writing) mentions a great feature - that each of the six sockets has a red neon light (or LED). I find this very useful, e.g. I can tell at a glance if I have left any sockets on.
There are (currently) not many 6-socket individually switched surge protected extension leads on Amazon. I was going to buy one made by Tacima but was put off by a few reviews of that product saying the same thing, namely that some of the switches do not work. This product (the Cablestar one) costs more than the Tacima one. You get what you pay for. Safety is paramount on an item like this and I do not want to buy a cheap version.
The action of the switches (smoothness of turning on & off) is fine (I have bought two non-surge protected extension leads from Amazon and they have stiff switches - it seems to be a feature of cheap extension leads). This product gives me the impression that it is good quality.
(Incidentally, this product is posted by KG Electronics and not Amazon. I therefore expected delivery to be slow. But they sent it by first class post on the day I ordered it - impressive).
Someone in the Tacima reviews wanted to know dimensions. I don't know because I didn't buy it but if you want to know the dimensions of this Cablestar product they are:
Length - 43.5 c.m. (but the cable protrudes from one end so it needs slightly more room)
Height - 7.5 cm
Distance between sockets - 5.5 cm (measured from mid-point of earth pin to mid-point of earth pin).
One negative point (hence 4 & not 5 stars for my review) - there is no recessed area on the rear for wall mounting. I can't believe this. Every extension lead I have ever bought has this feature.

Bought one for the TV, etc, and one for my office. The individual switching really makes a difference with these gangs - I can now simply switch off a lamp that's on a transformer, rather than disconnecting the whole thing, for instance and it feels much safer hauling out plugs when you can switch off the one you want to take out. Very good price and excellent service.

I bought this product because I could switch off individual items plugged in such as my DAB radio which is on a large transformer which would use electricity even if the radio was turned off. I looks like a sturdy peice of equipment and so far it is doing its job as expected.

As identified in other reviews, it is solid, with good indiviual switches so you can turn off individual peripherals and their adaptors connected to your PC.
